Kevin Hassett, writing for Bloomberg, comes up with what he probably thinks is a clever column theme.
Imagine that some hypothetical enemy state spent years preparing a “Manchurian Candidate” to destroy the U.S. economy once elected. What policies might that leader pursue?
I’m curious: Did Hassett not know that “Obama = secret agent” is a wildly popular theme on the fringe right? Here’s a smattering of commentsabout his column at Lucianne.com.
I don’t know whether Hassett was aware of this when he wrote his column, but he should be now. “
