Referring to Obamanomics as Keynesian is akin to saying that Scott ***** is running the Chiefs just like the New England Patriots.

Well, this here shows just how stoopid Keynes was. He failed by putting his faith in politicians. That's why his theory looks good on paper but fails in the real world. Human nature and human action by politicians is where it falls down.
Yes, Obamanomics is Keynesianism but in the extreme.
