Obama Praises Senate, Stumps for Stimulus in the Sunshine State

One of the most parts was Governor Crist (Republican and major McCain supporter) standing next to Obama and asking for bipartisan support because the bill is very much needed.

The Americans have elected President Obama to the top job. They should simply allow him to do his work and simply judge him by the results he gets.
BTW, Canadians are very excited about the President’s visit next week
I hope this visit leads to a new era of co-operation between the two countries.

“Obamas cabinet of corruption speaks and the market dives 400 points..”
It dives 400 points every other day.

It isn’t good news for our country. The stock markets keep going down and the Democratic in Washington are “corrupt” like all his cabinet members, his Chicago friends at the White House, and Obama for example.

“I won’t lie to you.” Eeeya, that’s what liars usually say.
First lie is that Republicans wanted to “do nothing” and second lie is that the Republicans gave him a huge deficit. The republicans wanted less pork and more stimulus and the Democratic Congress forced through the first disasterous TARP bill adding to the deficit. He also lied about Japan not acting swiftly or boldly enough. They actually acted too swiftly and too boldly resulting in elongating the economic turmoil.
“A lie told often enough becomes the truth” who said that first? Oh, right… it was first said by Lenin!
If you repeat a lie often enough

I have watched this country turn from a nation of great faith to a nation of little faith. Attn: “Decision Makers!” Your the decision makers for a reason, when you give people authority to say “NO” who have no authority to say yes. That’s what their going to do! Their not going to base their decision on facts, logic or out-come. And you suffer because of that. Isn’t it true the only time we benefit from anything is when we say yes instead of no? Think about it, you said yes to your family, your home, your lively hood. Start saying yes to things that will benefit all that, and for Heavens sake; please stop having people screen your calls, if they was smart enough to make your decisions in life for you they would be you. I contribute our economy to all the people that answer the phone for the Boss and think their protecting the Boss by offending the people the good lord sent to help them…then we got real decision makers like that lady that hung up on president Obama setting neg examples. Remember what we was taught as kids, when we assume, we make an a** out of you and me..

“…then you’ll have a new president”
Well, that prediction is the only thing that Obama will get right.

will be “judged” an incompetent showboat, no doubt … but in the meantime — as usual — His answer had nothing to do with the question to which He pretended to be responding.

“Can we take a vote on calling women “young lady”?”
He could hardly have BEEN more insulting.
The signal to the audience: He holds this tacky ole black lady in comtempt.
The signal to the woman: “young lady”, used as a term of address by a male, ALWAYS — even when it’s use is age-appropriate — implies a threat: “be quiet, or you are going. to. get. it.”

whats with all those smiles Hussein, one minute you say we are headed for a depression, then you smile…..

“Actually, Republicans were in charge of Congress for the middle four years of the last eight years. Democrats were in charge of the US Senate from 2001-2003″
Actually Republicans were in charge of the House from Jan 1st 1995 to Dec 31st 2006. They were in charge of the Senate for Jan 1st 1995 to May 2001 (it was a 50-50 split with the Cheney tiebreaker) when Jeffords split. That gave the Democrats a 1 vote margin until Jan of 2003 when the Republicans regained control of the Senate until Dec 31st 2006.

“Democrats were in charge of the US Senate from 2001-2003 (and the economy, as well as national security, was terrible then, if you remember correctly and are not interested in revising history for your own purposes),”
ROFLMAO!
Right wingers are now going to pretend George Bush never happened they are so embarrassed by him!
Please tell us which branch of government is in charge of national security and which party was in charge of said branch during 2001 to 2003?

“Obama isn’t going to be so endearing when your elderly mom or dad is refused an operation/treatment because they are too old.”
All the right wing has to offer are lies and fear.
The above was started by a free market nut who portrays medical records modernization as some insidious plot which has since been dutifully linked to by Drudge and I am sure blared by the right wing noise on the radio.

“Obama isn’t going to be so endearing when your elderly mom or dad is refused an operation/treatment because they are too old.”
Especially if they GOT “too old” while waiting for a “non-profit” public-health clinic to come up with a diagnosis, in lieu of the pain-killer prescriptions (morphine, Fentanyl, methadone) pressed upon the poor and near-poor by government-assisted facilities.
The only person who has a CLUE how bad it is, is Dr. Dean. Guess that’s why The Tool wanted Daschle, the medical-corporation lobbyist.

The passing of this stim package really gave Wall Street a big kick in the aaa today. Maybe Ms. Henrietta Hughes can catch some of our money when it blows by. Guess all the folks that were instrumental in getting obaba hussien elected are happy with their windfall.

“I would like to know how quickly this town can begin to prosper again.”
Maybe the poor people of Elkhart can be put to work hand-fashioning campaign products for His continuing campaign … hand-spun bunting, perhaps, and hand-stapled paper fans bearing His likeness on one side, bank advertisements on the other.

Here a bailout, there a bailout, everywhere a bailout, BAILOUT. When will it end?
Just about now, everyone’s holding their hand out. The question is… Whose hand do you put the money in?
Automakers, Banks, Investment Firms, Insurance companies, mortgage brokerage houses and the like, all in need of money. Do they all get a bailout? NO!
No More Bailouts!
If you want to fix this problem, choose your steps wisely. Perhaps a little common sense will do. Don’t take money from a struggling taxpayer and give it to a list of failing companies. If you want both to succeed, give the money/incentive to the taxpayer. Save your Stimulus Package. It’s a short term fix for a long term problem. Let’s place the money where it matters and do it in a beneficial way.
It’s really simple… When business slows, you need greater sales.
Greater sales equal Bigger Discounts.
Bigger Discounts come with Coupons.
That’s right, Government Backed Coupons issued to the taxpayer for each of these US Based Companies. What a better way to turn this economy around than with Americans buying American.
Like with any other small business, automakers don’t need money, they need to sell cars. Here are coupon Numbers 1, 2 & 3. After manufacturer and dealer discounts, taxpayers will apply this government coupon, thereby reducing any financed amount.
Teach Americans how to save. Be it with a Bank or Investment Company, so many taxpayers don’t realize the importance of long term investments. Here are a few more coupons. Matching Government funds, up to a certain amount, on long term products, is a positive way to set Americans off in the right direction. Perhaps one day you’ll call it Social Security Reform.
Did I hear something about a downturn in the housing market? STOP the Foreclosures!
Effective immediately, Subprime Mortgages are OUT. If you hold such a mortgage, it will be rewritten as a 30 year fixed rate mortgage, at today’s rates. That’s right; every delinquent taxpayer becomes current, in receipt of this new mortgage. There’s NO coupon here. This is where the institutions take their lumps for issuing mortgages that should never have been written. This isn’t a Free Ride for the taxpayer. They must remain current, moving forward, until the new mortgage is in place. The past due principal amount and minimal fees will be added to the new mortgage.
Yes it’s simple and yes it needs fine tuning… but it could work.

This is nothing but a ENORMOUS PORK PACKAGE, GOD HELP us all if it passes!!!!

Unless we get the whole congress and senate working together we will lose not them they never lose. Pelosi and Reid did our country a disservice because they are haters and act worst than children. Not to include the republicans in the process denied input to millions of people who sent them to Washington. NOTHING HAS CHANGED and Obama is the guy that will get in the neck when it fails not Reid or Pelosi. Mr. President don’t let them ruin your work and your promise to the people of our country.
We need a Truman now – I hope Obama is as good. He doesn’t need Pelosi I just hope he see that soon, before it is too late.

“we aregetting sick of turning yoru republican recessions and depressions around.. ”
Maybe you “post-partisan” Obamans better back off on Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Remember the old song “Now you got it rollin’/How you gonna get it stopped?” Not only does Pakistan have The Bomb, but neither of those populations seems to be much influenced by stage shows, or by talking heads outside their own area.

“Yeah, something is better than nothing … ”
Well, THAT’s not necessarily true! In the first place, “nothing” leaves possibility for doing something thoughtful. Second, most of the Democrats, AND the stage-struck Executive, will be busy trying to spin what they HAVE done, if they DO do it.
I guess The One, being “post-partisan”, is only a Democrat-of-convenience, but that the ACTUAL Democrats can permit ANOTHER bank bailout (so that everybody from students to homeowners can be ever more in hock to the banks), is difficult to understand. Why not just let the banks fail, make government loans to students and to people needing houses? (Answer: the corporations are running the Congress AND The Puppet.)
Better yet, do green public housing (“stimulus”), bulldoze the too-big, energy-hog houses, LET the banks fail, let their accumulation-crazed personnel retire to the golf course.

We can use a new president right now!

T–”republicans trash the country again and us democrats will repair it again.. we aregetting sick of turning yoru republican recessions and depressions around.. ” — Exactly what makes this a republican recession?? The democrats ran the congress since 06.. republicans warned in as early as late 05 of impending problems… In 06 they held congressional hearings and at leat 8 republicans testified that the mortgage industry ( in particular Freddie and Fannie) were in crisis and the democrats told them to sit down and shut up… (Cspan covered it).. I get sick and tired of being told this is a republican recession… BS.. this is 100% democrat sponsored recklessness.. Reid, Franks, Dodd, Rangle, et al… When bush took over the country in 2000, the dot com industry was crashing and the stock market was contracting with the weight of Clintons taxes… tax cuts in late 01 restored 6 million of the 6.8 million jobs lost due to CLINTON economics.. sure, he balanced 2 annual budgets, but the debt still grew under Clinton by over 2 trillion… then we go to war and see just how much his “balanced budgets” have cost.. an under funded military with poor or missing equipment and a VA completely unable to take care of soldiers when they returned… Now you idiots want to blame the republicans for the mess we are in… NEWSFLASH.. The democrats caused ALL THIS and noe (in true democrat form) they are trying to fix it by throwing massive amounts of money at it and building the government to the point of a socialist state.. are you aware that this bill introduces national healthcare AND a government study group wil be formed to determine what is and isn’t soct effective ( its based on the british model).. that means you and your doctor do not decide what health care you are intitled to.. a cgovernment committee does.. are you aware that the white house today anounced that probably 2 trillion more will be needed immediately… Let see bush spent 4 trillion in 8 years, this administration is going to spend that much in 8 weeks…Wake up people.. or kiss your country goodbye…

It does exactly that.. places the “alowable” healthcare treatments in the hands of government officials who determine the cost effectiveness of a particular treatment based on a model that considers the recipients age and life expectancy and calculates that against the cost of the treatment…Bottom line.. it your 40 and need a new heart.. you have a chance.. but if your 75 and need a liver.. forget it, you don’t make the cut… if you don’t believe me, i suggest you read it for yourself..

OH NOES!!!
Marxism is upon us!!
Run for your lives!!!
Next Obama will nominate THE BOOGIE-MAN for Secretary of Commerce!!!!
I’M SOOOO SCARED!!!
What’s Sarah Palin’s solution?
Maybe Joe the Plumber can fix it?
LOLOLOLOL

” that republicans were “just trying to prevent lower income people from owning homes”…
Use standard right-wing logic on this arkie: Why make an effort to structure mortgages so lower income people can afford to own their own homes when Republicans can rent the houses to them instead at a higher rate?

Mr. Obama, you are being “judged” for pushing a trillion dollar pork package (“$6.2 billion for home weatherization, $100 million for children to learn green construction, $50 million for port modernization water and wastewater infrastructure needs in Guam, $50 million for the NEA, the National Endowment for the Arts and should I mention the millions planned for frisbee golf courses?) which creates few jobs and borrowing the money from China which, will make the people depending on his socialistic “big government” plans for decades to come, and lying to the public by not calling it “pork”. Today, After the bailout package is passed, then Obama openly admits the package may not work as well as it is intended. Obama and his wasteful spending may be your “hero” but, he is not mine.

Obama should step down.

The Republicans seem more interested in NOT AGREEING with our ELECTED president than they are about us.

Hey Mr. President, how about Gift Cards for the illegals. too bad you didn’t think of it eh. Well maybe on the next round of stimulus goodies.

Now waite a minute, On the campaign trail Obama said HE was going to bring Change to Washington, HE was going to shake things up in Washington! Now HE says well, the plans not perfect, it came from Washington, sounds like Washington is Obamas Favorite excuse! Sounds like NO CHANGE to me!!!!

Everybody is talking about fixing the current economic downturn, but the economic downturn is actually a fix for too much of the money supply being put into investment vehicles with effectively no value. What we are experiencing is the whiplash effect from people realizing that these bad mortgages securitized as higher rated investment vehicles are essentially worthless. The money supply is contracting back towards where it really should be, but like a pendulum, it will go further than the ideal point before swinging back around. I would contend that we are past the point where the government can exert positive force without causing another even higher abnormal upswing resulting in an even worse downswing than the current crisis. At this point, the best thing the government could do is stop increasing the money supply artificially and work on improving underlying value. The best way the government could improve underlying value is to decrease taxes and government spending gradually. It wouldn’t hurt if they also streamlined laws and government processes instead of piling on top of the bureaucratic legal pile.

Well, Mr. Obama, so far, we cannot judge you by any “results” but, by the massive pork project you just passed and by your corrupt, tax-evading nominees.

……”I won’t lie to you” ….Wonder how many times Obama will EAT those words over the next 4 yrs??? Gotta get a copy of that video to play for him and his campaigning committee next time they are in my town again. What an Eloquent Idiot.

“Doing nothing is not an option. You didn’t send me to Washington to do nothing.”
Unless doing something is worse than doing something.
Like now.

Obama is failing miserably. Obama needs to step down.

What a two faced liar we picked for a leader. He’s went from a “Hope”, “Change” and “Yes we Can” message -to- a “Dispair”, “Same old People” and ” We probably can’t” attitude. This guy’s lost and has about as much vision for this country as a teenager.

You’re still here, I’m still here and the world is still here. Therefore, the Messiah (which you & others are blaspheming the name of God by using His name for comedic/spiteful purposes) has not returned!
Trust me if He was here right now, no one would be worrying about what the president or anybody else is doing. They would be to busy begging Jesus for forgiveness.

Finally a President that claims responsibility rather than just credit.
I know that must be dumbfounding for right wingers who wouldn’t know what integrity was if it bit them on the nose.

I like folks who comment here who say Obama has “integrity”. Do all you liberals folks get that “tingly feeling down your legs” when he speaks? Let’s just see what feeling you all have for Obama after 4 years of wasteful spending then, paying higher taxes for Obama’s “big government”, socialistic plans for you.

The entertainment never ceases. I see someone complaining how bad right wing nut jobs have treated Obama and family but do not think anything about how viciously Sharah Palin was attacked on inuedo. Her family was vilified but that was fair? Her family had said nothing about policy or election but Michelle had and therfore was open to criticism.

The results are in, Mr. President, gov’t hasn’t changed and we’re not even 100 days into your reign. Methinkgs the future looks bleak.
