How moronic his thesis is depends on a number of things that we don't know at the moment. Apparently the market meltdown will be far worse in the U.S. than in Canada, but the question is how much worse. Obama could greatly improve things, make them worse, or be faced with external problems for which he has no control. We really don't know at the moment. Cyberwar has become as dangerous as terrorism and a major incident in either area at this bad time could be the last straw for the destruction of the US economy. The danger of a nuke use in India, Pakistan, the Middle East or elsewhere is getting greater too.

So, if everything stays calm and cool, and Obama makes great improvements in the US and the world and the markets gradually improve accordingly and deficits get gradually wiped out, then it is a moronic thesis.

However, if the market keeps going off a cliff, Obama makes things worse with protectionist policies for example, more companies and major parts of the economy go bankrupt. Social unrest, rioting etc. develops. There is a badly timed act of major terrorism particularly in the cyber area. This would create a scenario in which his moronic thesis becomes far less moronic.

By arm I hope you meant jello...

Mafia boy in Montreal, shut down Yahoo and EBay through a denial of service overload that he designed. Now picture on a larger scale, the banks computers become shut down for a month. No access to money. The transportation system computers, traffic lights, hydro, water etc. shut down. Apparently according to a CBC investigative report on Cyberwar, viruses can also be produced to totally destroy large networks and hackers are being employed by "interested parties" as in countries and organizations who would profit from such chaos. The experts on the show said it is just a matter of when.
