Talk about a vast left-wing conspiracy!

According to Republicans Texas Representative Pete Sessions (previously best known for throwing himself fundraisers at Las Vegas strip clubs), President Obama is engaging in a dedicated campaign to swamp the stock market, eliminate U.S. jobs, and generally destroy the economy.

Why would the president do this? To increase his own popularity, of course!

U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions of Dallas, a member of the House Republican leadership, is accusing President Barack Obama of intentionally driving up unemployment and dampening stock prices in a bid to consolidate power.

Sessions told The New York Times that the administration intends to "diminish employment and diminish stock prices" as part of a "divide and conquer" strategy.

And he asserted that the Obama agenda is "intended to inflict damage and hardship on the free enterprise system, if not to kill it."

We imagine that Sessions and Michele Bachmann (R-MN) have a lot to talk about when they discuss their conspiracy theories in the House cloakroom.

Wearing tin foil hats.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
