Obama promises, but doesn't deliver.
While on the campaign trail in 2008, President Barack Hussein Obama promised jobs, jobs, and 5 million green jobs, as well as an economic recovery. He also promised to act quickly to help people stay in their homes. Obama has failed to deliver on those campaign promises.

Do all of you remember how outraged we all were in 2004 when Bush flew all over the place in Air Force One on campaign stops, whether they were or not on our taxpayer dime???
Can you IMAGINE what Warren's next article is going to be about, ignoring the fact that Obama (like Bush, like Clinton and every other president) couldn't go anywhere without air force one and his security.

Fuck you Beohner, every president has done it since Eisenhower on the first Air Force One.

This might look vaguely familiar... and the subject

Looks like others are aware of Warrens plagiarism.
This could be dangerous violation of copyright law. At the very least BC should stop handing out prizes for stolen material.
Get a Plagiarism Checker, editors. And tune up your bogosity detector: Warrens sudden researching and good articulation were VERY suspect.

Igor, as a junior member of the editorial staff I just thought I'd let everyone know that it's being looked into.
The editors do in fact use a plagiarism checker, and articles are rejected or kicked back to the author for reworking if substantial unattributed passages are detected. For some reason, though, the version some of the editors use hasn't been working as advertised.

There's a plagiarism checker? So THAT's why Joe Biden doesn't blog here!
32 - Igor
There are SEVERAL plagiarism checkers. They are absolutely essential to college profs grading essays.
But the first level plagiarism checker is your nose: if a guy who had clumsy syntax and stumbling grammar and never cited a source suddenly becomes as articulate as WF Buckley you should smell a rat.
In fact, Warren quotes literally word for word in his articles, but his usual incoherence exhibits itself in subsequent comments.
Don't be fooled.

Warren, great job undermining the conservative cause with your underhanded tactics. You are an embarrassment to the site and all writers and your failure to respond to the issue, as far as I can see, confirms you have no integrity. Looks like Obama is a better man than you.

...which goes without saying.

Apparently not...

Take a look at the population increments.
U.S. 313,445,082
World 7,009,926,024
13:02 UTC (EST+5) Apr 28, 2012
Population Clock
The U.S. population was at 300MM in 2000 and has been growing over a million a year since then. Europe's financial woes do not help worldwide economic recovery. There will be thousands of returning vets from two wars-Iraq and Afghanistan.
Add to this the oncoming retirement of the baby boomers ( in the millions).
The overall economic plan must be robust enough to overcome these serious issues.
37 - Igor
36-Joseph: with increasing population and workforce, and many retiring workers, these two countervailing forces can be accommodated if our economic system is flexible enough to respond. But every law that Monopolies bribe politicians to pass to protect their monopoly interests works against successful resolution.
Thus, we must work against the interests of sunset industries, such as coal and oil, and in favor of new industries such as solar and new fuels such as algae.
Otherwise, if we protect the interests of sunset monopolies and refuse to try out the Solyndras, we will see leadership of the future go to more vigorous and less inhibited societies. We will damn ourselves to obsolescence. We will concede the future to others and in turn we will lose power and be reduced to colonies.
Our own children and grandchildren will damn us for losing initiative and huddling together in the past.
Venture capitalists say: your overall success is determined by your few individual successes, and your many failures are swept away like so much scrap.
The people who are focused on reducing the National Debt and avoiding failure will condemn us to a forlorn future. We need to adventure into new industries or watch the rest of the world pass us by.

So Warren still hasn't addressed his plagiarism?
It's pretty clear that his own writing is pretty bad (note the frequent spelling errors and terrible grammar), so it's abundantly clear that his articles here have either benefited from a magical editor or there's some sort of wizardry afoot.
Also, note here that our beloved is a Dr. Beatty who "earned a Ph.D. in quantitative management and statistics from Florida State University. He was a (very conservative) professor of quantitative management specializing in using statistics to assist/support decision-making."
It's hard to know what to make of Dr. Beatty. He sure paints a compelling picture, either one couched in deception or incompetence. I can't tell which is worse.
But that's just my opinion.
39 - Igor
We know that Warren Beatty(not the liberal actor) is a thief because he stole someone else's words and that he's a liar because he tried to pass them off as his own, so we shouldn't be surprised that he's a coward afraid to confront his own sins.

Would you vote for this for President with lots of broken promises? For a list of broken promises he made, you can check Quotti.

What happened to Warren? Did the plagiarism catch up with him or did he just go away?
42 - Glenn Contrarian
Either that, or he just couldn't stay that long outside the echo chamber....
43 - troll
so...which is the darker literary sin - a plagiarized phrase or a cliché?
44 - Glenn Contrarian
The reason I mentioned the echo chamber is that the BC conservatives - who are generally more logical and intelligent than most conservatives - were staying away from his articles in droves and refused to help him defend his frankly ludicrous propositions.
It's not much different than the morale of the soldier when he's taken a position and he's under constant fire and all his comrades-in-arms don't do much else than wave at him from the beach and tell him "Good job! We're behind you all the way - waaaay behind you!"
