Can You Be Keynesian If You Are Not From Kenya?

Life is so strange, just when I had given up on Adriana Huffington, her blog posted this expose demonstrating the ignorance of rabid Obama supporters. God save this country from voters like these people! And, here is hoping this experience brings AH back from the uber-left.

Someone is blocking the accompanying video of the ill-informed demonstrators, and that is too bad.

Let's make one thing clear: John Maynard Keynes was an influential British economist who believed governments should intervene to help their economies.

Being a "Keynesian" means you subscribe to Keynes' ideas. It does not mean you are from Kenya.

But when asked by comedy group the Partisans if President Obama is a Keynesian, some apparently random people (for the country's sake, we hope they were planted) at the weekend's Rally to Restore Sanity had this to say:

"That he's Keynesian? Like he's not American? Is that what you're saying?"

Another said: "He was born in Hawaii. That is a state of the United States. He is born here legally, and he is an awesome president."

And another added: "It doesn't matter. All right, maybe it would matter on his views on things. But, like, most of us come from, you know, Ireland, Germany, Italy, you know, most of us come from different countries."

Finally, one woman got truly apoplectic at the question, shouting: "WHAT PROOF DO YOU WANT? HE GAVE YOU PROOF! HE GAVE YOU PROOF! HE WAS BORN IN HAWAII!"
