SO, WHAT DO WE THINK of Obama’s proposal for “myRA” retirement accounts?

I tend to agree with Hot Air's lead sentence: "if O’s for it, it’s probably a bad idea". As a retirement account, myRA stinks. As a 'kickstarter' to get a low-income entry-level worker started investing regularly, it may have some utility if the worker moves almost immediately to a regular IRA. Otherwise they're just a way to fund the government's overspending on the backs of the poor.

OBAMA'S DISTANT COUSIN calls him 'worst president in our time'.

Dr. Milton Wolf, the radiologist challenging Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), told The Hill on Monday that while Obama’s a “nice guy,” he believes he’s “the worst president in our time, if not our history.”

“You can’t choose your family, but what you can do is to rise up and stop your family from destroying America, and I think Barack Obama is destroying America,” the GOP Senate hopeful said in an interview. “I think his policies are an absolute disaster and I think they’re a betrayal not only of our Constitution but a betrayal of the American idea itself.”

Wolf has the proverbial snowball's chance in Hell of unseating Roberts, but a strong challenge may stiffen Robert's spine.
