Happy Sunday

We ARE on the road to serfdom.

Obama:
President Obama said at the White House Wednesday that anger, if channeled correctly, can be an important tool to help fix the problem with troubled financial institutions.
“I don’t want to quell that anger — people are right to be angry, I’m angry,” said Obama. “I want to channel our anger in a constructive way. The most important thing is to stabilize the financial system, get credit flowing again, and make sure we change how these businesses operate so they don’t put us in situation where when things go bad, tax payers fit the bill.”
Yoda:
Remember, a Jedi’s strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your
destiny.
Looks like the “Lightworker Jedi” Obama is dumping all over Yoda’s anti-anger admonition. What do the lefty folks who
believe in the “Lightworker Jedi” Obama thing say about this?

Just compare the two sets of pictures. Which one do you want to represent America? The angry people or the people trying to help?
Also, there is a lot of violence being shown in the Tea Party pics (original was violent in itself.) The “You don’t want a Revolution” seems a little suspect to me,but we hear it threatened all the time…no one calls them out on it though…Red Army, Tea Parties, Chuck Norris and his “Sleeper Cells” making Texas a country.

Do they even have clue what Obamas plan is? Have they read the budget. NO!! Thats what bother me. Its the same people that got us in this trouble.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Please provide some sources of the violence that has occured at these recent tea parties.
Thanks

Heh.

Hope! Change! Permanent campaign!

Media, PLEASE, do some REAL reporting (not just propaganda)
*identify those few AIG protesters as ACORN professional protesters bussed in.
* REPORT ON THE THOUSANDS (of real folks) WHO ATTEND THE TEA PARTIES

If they had come to my house, I would have chased them off my lawn.

“Hedge funds buy toxic assets for promises of big profits.”
And they do this with PUBLIC $, again? So the “Obama” organization can claim the Reaganesque mantle of being “public-private”?
And what the HECK does the following — from ABC — mean?
–> “The plan is also expected to include a major change that give the Federal Reserve more powers to oversee systemic risks to the entire financial system.”

to people saying the mainstream media won’t report the tea parties..uhm…what is Tapper?
considered it reported, but you guys are an extreeeeeeeeme minority…kinda like the Republican Party.

“Activists” is being nice. The proper term should be “operatives”. The entire stunt is a PR campaign from start to finish.

Fox News Light,
Could you please provide factual evidence to support your claim that the recent tea parties have shown violence?
Thanks

As for the tea parties, dubbing The CHANGEling “Debt Star” was pretty much an act of genius. Wonder whose.
Paul Krugman on Geithner’s new “plan”, same as the old “plan”:
“The Geithner plan has now been leaked in detail. It’s exactly the plan that was widely analyzed – and found wanting – a couple of weeks ago. The zombie ideas have won. The Obama administration is now completely wedded to the idea that there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with the financial system – that what we’re facing is the equivalent of a run on an essentially sound bank. … And if we get investors to understand that toxic waste is really, truly worth much more than anyone is willing to pay for it, all our problems will be solved. To this end the plan proposes to create funds in which private investors put in a small amount of their own money, and in return get large, non-recourse loans from the taxpayer, with which to buy bad … assets. This is supposed to lead to fair prices because the funds will engage in competitive bidding.
‘But it’s immediately obvious, if you think about it, that these funds will have skewed incentives. In effect, Treasury will be creating – deliberately! – the functional equivalent of Texas S&Ls in the 1980s: financial operations with very little capital but lots of government-guaranteed liabilities. For the private investors, this is an open invitation to play heads I win, tails the taxpayers lose. So sure, these investors will be ready to pay high prices for toxic waste. After all, the stuff might be worth something; and if it isn’t, that’s someone else’s problem. Or to put it another way, Treasury has decided that what we have is nothing but a confidence problem, which it proposes to cure by creating massive moral hazard. This plan will produce big gains for banks that didn’t actually need any help; it will, however, do little to reassure the public about banks that are seriously undercapitalized. And I fear that when the plan fails, as it almost surely will, the administration will have shot its bolt: it won’t be able to come back to Congress for a plan that might actually work. What an awful mess.”

I also attended the Feb 27 tea party in chicago, there was no violence. The chicago police said it was the cleanest most peaceful protest they had to supervise. Heck, we were all thanking them along the way as we marched. Professional activists, give me a break it was painfully obvious not 1 of us there was a pro. It was however a running joke. I will go to every one that we have here in the city. I have never feared my government, those fools don’t want to darken my doorstep, it will be months before their ears stop ringing. However we do need to organize better, instapundit has some good advice this morning. We have to define ourselves before the media does it for us. my 2 cent

I have a feeling the MSM will gleefully report about the Obama supporters.
But the Tea Parties have basically been ignored.
I would tell Obama’s ACORN friends that I think he is a huge fraud out to detroy this country–just like I tell the DNC when they send email.
I used to be a Democrat until Obama opened my eyes.

“Could you please explain how ordinary citizens, most of whom have never participated in any kind of group demonstration before in their lives, could be called “activists?””
By going to participate in a protest; they became activists….

Dodd #1: “I know nothing. That little exemption must have been an immaculate conception.”
Dodd #2: “I did it. I didn’t like it, but I still did it because they made me do it. Who’s “they” you ask? Ah, um, let’s see, hmmmm . . . some anonymous staff sprout from over at Treasury, I suppose . . . but I really can’t say.”
Obama: “I am stunned . . . stunned, I tell you . . . and TOTALLY OUTRAGED at AIG for paying those bonuses [you know, those bonuses that my man in Treasury had pressured Dodd to slip into the stimulus bill, which I of course then signed into law after my scare tactics distracted the mushroom congressional democrats from even reading the bill].”
Dodd #3: “I’m also totally outraged about AIG paying those bonuses! I’m outraged, I tell you! How dare they!!!
Obama & Dodd: “But we just need to move on, now, and put our greatly justified outrage behind us. We don’t want to be distracted from more fleecing, or we mean to say “saving” the taxpayers ever more of their money while at the same time running America into the ground as fast as possible. See there . . . we can chew gum and walk at the same time!
Remember, all those contributions to our “Campaign for America” can continue to be sent to the repositories used for previous political contributions.”
And thank all of you for your continued trust in our good faith, honesty, and competence in running America.
Don’t ever forget our motto: YES, WE CAN CHEW GUM AND WALK AT THE SAME TIME!!

“Witness the power of this fully armed and operational Debt Star.”
For more than you ever wanted to know about how Geithner and his pals did what they HAVE done, see “The Big Takeover” at rollingstone.
The Congress is gonna lose their seats, maybe more, if they don’t get. rid. of. these. guys.

The “Bagdad Bob” Media will continue for a while longer trying their best to ignore the Tea Parties. As for the “Pledge Project” it looked like a big bust. For me, I only pledge allegiance to the Flag and to the Republic for which it stands . . .

Anyone know what part ACORN played in these O’Babble support activities ?

oblabla has a plan: He plans to be on 60 minutes tonight, is filming a cameo role on 24, will appear on American Idol, Regis, Dr. Phil (there he might get some help), The View, and who knows what else. What has happened to the outrage, when Bill Clinton was so tucked in with Hollywood people went balistic. We are sitting in our homes, some suffering from this financial meltdown and he is out there looking like a “rock star” and letting his cronies solve the problems that folks voted him in office to try and handle.
Looks like he is fiddleing while ‘Rome burns’. Someone tell him the campaign is over….he has been elected. Get some of the problems solved there is plenty of time to campaign for 2012.

Jake:
Don’t you find it at all strange that these huge tea parties have not turned up on MSM but we see a bus of Acorn workers bullying AIG execs on every channel for days! This administration is using the Acorn actors to explain the “rage of the populous”…in an apparent distraction from these massive protests going on by the tea parties which are protesting HIS POLICIES!! Do you see the inequity in the way the tea party protests are covered (or not covered) over anti-war or anti-corporate, or pro-union (all Obama/Congrees agendas)”protests”…even though the tea parties have up to 15,000 people (O.C.) and there have been at least 10 of them across the country? As Michelle Malkin said, maybe the tea parties need to burn an American Flag to get a network reporter there.
Thanks for even mentioning it in your blog, maybe things are starting to change.

This Obama project was an utter failure. That’s what the media should be covering–even the true believers are not interested any more. The true grassroots movement is the Tea Party. I was at Fullerton and it was HUGE.
Their Facebook page is pathetic. Organize for America

In March 2005, ANSWER had a anti-war march in Washington DC. There were rumors that the war memorials in DC were going to be defaced, so veterans and their families paid their own way to come from all over the country. Since there had been an ice storm the night before, I thought we’d be lucky to have 3-400 people show up. The NPS later said “unofficially” there were 30k. Imagine my surprise when I read the AP’s first report that said there was only 50 of us. You guys are a joke. You’ve become “Squealer” from Animal Farm.

LOL. Mike certainly hopes that it is only a few dozen or hundreds. But the pictures don’t lie.
We do need to be careful not to let the mailing lists fall into Pelosi’s hands. Attendees could find their property being confiscated like the folks at AIG. After all, who could be less popular than those pointing out the emperor has no clothes???

PTD said, “Thousands? More like hundreds or dozens… not enough people have shown up to make such an event newsworthy….”
Unfortunately for the “Baghdad Bob” Media, we the people are taking pictures of these events and sharing them with others. This used to be called Journalism before that became a dirty word. We know this is a lot of bunk. Compare pics of any of the Tea Parties to the recent “newsworthy” AIG protest where the “journalists” outnumbered the protesters.

“Activists” is being nice. The proper term should be “operatives”. The entire stunt is a PR campaign from start to finish.

—————————————–
I’m sure you have some proof to offer that these are not simply normal Americans coming to protest. Just because the left uses manufactured mobs doesn’t mean that’s the only way people organize.
I look forward to your evidence. Thanks in advance.

Obama’s project asks people to sign a pledge to work/advocate for his agenda.
Then BO shows up on TV every chance he can get to spread his propaganda.
When will we start seeing his picture plastered on buildings.
It’s all really creepy.

I would be willing to bet that Obama wishes he could require people to work for his agenda.
America would be like Cuba and we would all have to answer to him.
The guy has a problem.

One group promoting a man, a movement, their savior.
The other group promoting democracy, freedom, America.

To the Øbamabots who are attempting to portray the Tea Party Movement as being just a few dozen people, this quote is from today’s Orlando Sentinel report, regarding yesterday’s Tea Party in downtown Orlando FL:
“Several speakers addressed the crowd, estimated by Orlando police and event organizers at 4,200…”
Meanwhile, I hope some Øbamabots come to my door. I’ll be happy to tell them what I think about THEIR wagyu-eating, thermostat-raising, teleprompter-reading, useless-dvd-giving, non-stop-campaigning, terrorist-befriending, dictator-kissing, stuttering, leadership-impaired, Special Olympics-insulting, history-illiterate, freedom-hating, president-on-training-wheels.
OBAMA = FAILURE

Crystal, the majority of people find it extremely creepy how Obama sends his “troops” out to collect their private information by invading their property. Tell us, what did your OFA training tell you to write down about the people who refused to sign the pledge?
BTW, there is nothing wrong with trying to improve our educational system. What IS wrong is sending an army out to peoples homes and intimidating them in to signing something in support for the president, or reporting if they refused to sign it.
What you don’t realize yet is your efforts aren’t going to change or improve the educational system. It’s not really about that. Your real job here is to collect information on individuals for the use of the White House.
Useful idiots. Sorry.

Crystal,
“And tell us why is it so bad to want to improve our Education system, and provide our children the right tools for jobs.”
Will showering even more money on the same systems that are failing us now really solve the problem? That is what you are going to get, since (1) this is all being imposed top-down from the level of government that is FARTHEST away from the students, and (2) a large part of the Democratic support base is built within the teachers’ unions, who have the clout to maintain the status quo that has been worked for their own interest.
If more money equals better education, then high-dollar-per-pupil public schools like those of Washington DC should be turning out Einsteins … and they aren’t, while low-budget home-schoolers frequently turn out better students. The problem is not the money … the problem is the approach to education, which is nowhere near focused upon equipping our kids (as in, my own grandchildren) with what they need in terms of analytical, reasoning, and communication skills for their future.
Yet, you want to just start handing out the checks …
“You tell me what you have against Wind and Solar power to become less dependent on oil. Instead of drilling in our National parks for oil.”
Crystal, to replace oil with wind and solar means running mass transit to every neighborhood and/or going to plug-in-hybrid or pure-electric vehicles on a mass scale.
I’m an electrical engineer who works with solar and advanced-battery technology on a regular basis, so I have some understanding of these technologies … and at present such a mass transformation of American transport technology is simply NOT FEASIBLE.
Not because of “greed”, but because of the nexus between technology and economics. Americans simply can’t afford the direct cost, and the loss of utility, of switching over to even state-of-the-art EV’s and/or readjusting to the one-size-fits-all operation of mass transit today …
… and even wind and solar, much less expanding mass transit, have their own significant environmental impacts that are often glossed over, because of the wider areas per watt (or per passenger) these technologies must cover.
And also understand that sound economics also plays a part in protecting the environment … for the less money for, and productivity from, We the People, the less concern there will be for protecting the environment, When people wonder where their next meal is coming from, they are more likely to fillet Willy than free him.
Nuclear power and offshore drilling in areas now prohibited by the Watermelon Left are technically and economically feasible … so why are you and your fellow-travelers behind the One holding us back?
“And I’d like to hear why we in America a major country have no system of health care for ALL citizens.”
Let me ask you a question … were you for, or against, the Bush Administration’s approach to civil liberties, such as the PATRIOT Act and wiretapping?
If you were against those, you should really be against government-run health care, for that will be a far more invasive assualt upon your privacy and civil liberties … and will leave you with no recourse WHATSOEVER in this nation, if the government decides that you aren’t worth treating in a timely manner.
See how life is more than talking points? Next time, look beyond them.

I was at the Orlando Tea party yesterday. It was huge …there was no violence. People listened, spoke, sang and waved flags. The signs were great and most spoke to the direction of financial situation …wanting lower taxes, mortgaging our children’s futures, etc. Quotes from Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, were popular themes as well. Pork barreling spending and socialism were other popular topics for the signs. I have never been to such a rally so don’t think I could be considered an activist; I do keep myself informed but not usually from MSM. I surf the blogs. The Orlando Tea Party was covered by a local radio station, our local Channel 13 News and surprisingly The Orlando Sentinel. It should be REPORTED on the regular news channels – ABC, CBS and NBC.

Pledging allegiance to Obama sounds like that part of the wedding vow–love, honor and obey.

Ritchie the Riveter, your post responding point by point to Crystal was masterful and well-argued. Congrats!
As Ritchie points out, even when we can agree on general goals, we can disagree sharply on the ways to achieve those goals. What I find maddening about the president and his PR push to get his budget passed is the simplistic way he and his minions suggest that if you do not agree with the specifics of his program, you do not share the goals he has of “improving education” or “reducing our dependence on foreign oil.” That’s ridiculous.
For example, I am all for cutting our imports of foreign oil. In the very near-term, I’d like to see increased domestic production through increased offshore drilling. In the relatively near-term, I’d like to see the opening of ANWAR to drilling and, more importantly, the greenlighting of a host of nuclear plants. Nuclear is an excellent solution to our energy problems, but Obama and the left shun it without any sound scientific reason to do so, despite his insistence that his administration will differ from Bush’s in their championing of science.
We do not have the technology or the infrastructure to allow “green” energy to make a major dent in our consumption any time soon. it’s that simple. Putting all our eggs in the green basket means many more years of growing dependence on foreign oil, especially because we will not be able to count on increased domestic oil and nuclear production.

Guess which of the two factions was
“covered” more prominently by the news?
Betcha can’t guess, can ya? Acorns are
being surreptitiously planted thruout
our land….and will thrive, kinda like
kudzu.

When ACORN comes by asking for your support:
Just say Nyet

FIve full days since our TelePrompter addicted president thanks himself in the company of the Irish Prime Miinister, and only after realizing that he is reading the wrong speech, stops before speaking again, and yet absolutely nowhere on the internet can video of it be found.
Jake, you and your colleagues in the mainstream media, offer spectacular cover for the president. Keep up the good work!
And, just wait until the $4 billion from the “stimulus” bill, due to be paid out to ACORN, kicks in, they’ll be driving limos to come knock on your doors.

“And, just wait until the $4 billion from the “stimulus” bill, due to be paid out to ACORN, kicks in, they’ll be driving limos to come knock on your doors.”
The stimulus bill is on-line. Please provide the Title and section of the bill where the “$4 billion” is allocated to “ACORN” or better yet, stop the nonsensical propaganda that has apparently infested this forum.

“The lies, the cover ups, the flip flops ,the budget, the unread stimulus package and the total circus of congress.”
What Cover-ups? What lies?

The Obama administration is a miserable failure, an unobstructed string of disaster after unforced error after gaffe after teleprompter explosions after trillions of deficit spending as far as the eye can see.
Good job, Barry!

from rawstory:
“Many of the banks rescued last year with taxpayer money have contributed to the campaign coffers of some politicians who approved the bailouts, according to recent filings with the Federal Election Commission.
“While some bailed-out banks, such as Wells Fargo and JP Morgan Chase, have reduced their campaign donations, others have discreetly made donations this year, Newsweek reported. Bank of America’s political action committee (PAC) gave $24,500 in January and February, “including $1,500 to House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and another $15,000 to members of the House and Senate banking panels,” the weekly news magazine said.”

The Obama Administration is a miserable failure. I don’t think they don’t know what they are doing. All the cabinet members, Democratic Congress, and Obama are corrupt. They have lied to the America people and have already broken promise to the them. Obama has lack inexperience and leadership. The Democratic Congress will lose big and Nancy Pelosi will not be the Speaker of the House anymore in 2010. Secretary of the Treasury “Timmy” should resign from this position.

LOL, you know Obama supporters are getting really nervous and probably truly suffering from buyer’s remorse when they start giving advice like, “Please stop. You’re making Republicans look bad.”
It working folks! Keep it up!

Does the Congress have a way to distinguish Barry Brown-shirts from petitioning citizens who are NOT part of the “presidential” pressure group?? One supposes not.
That’s a bonus for the furtherance of fascism, in that it discourages members of Congress from paying any attention at ALL — not that they pay much attention to communications that don’t come wrapped around donations — to those they supposedly represent.

“Thousands across the country have attended “tea parties” over the past several weeks yet there’s been nary a mention in the MSM. Seems pretty newsworthy to me but then again I don’t have a journalism degree.” Thousands? More like hundreds or dozens… not enough people have shown up to make such an event newsworthy….
***********************
There was a Tea Party on Fountain Square in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio last Sunday (3/15/09). Four to five thousand people showed up, according to various reports (see the Cincinnati Enquirer which has links to other reports on the Tea Party and photos). They also did a follow-up report on the organizer, a local man who had never been involved in politics before. (See article at
I’m sorry, but I don’t know how to embed links.
Mr. Tapper, it would be fascinating to know more about what appears to be a genuine grassroots movement resulting in locally organized “tea parties” around the country with participation from a few hundred to around 10,000, according to bloggers’ reports… and, apparently, local news media. It would be lovely to see ABC do a report from a national perspective, perhaps connected to rumoured plans for an outbreak of tea parties around the nation on April 15th.

“Do they mention Barry’s contributions from AIG?
And is the President going to confiscate those same donations?”
Looks like He’s trying to confiscate the whole shooting match, except FOR political donations. :^)
As for RawStory, it’s one of the “news” sites that NEVER criticizes Der CHANGEling directly, perhaps because of His mob background … after all, He’s now in charge of the total-surveillance machine.

The stimulus bill is online as well, and there is no money for Acorn. Start being informed. You’re all working against your country not for it. In the end the only one who gets screwed it you.

============================
ACORN money is there….just where is it hidden. Guess maybe you don’t know
that they are involved in doing the Census, where will they get the money for that…huh, huh.

You are the first person I have come across that finds humor in the Jim Jones tragedy and more humor in the comparison the poster made to Obama supporters. Keep digging that hole of yours “annoying liberals” while LOL on such a “beautiful Sunday afternoon”.

Jake,
No one showed up here from Organize for America. It is getting more and more difficult to find Obama supporters.
NPage

It is getting more and more difficult to find Obama supporters.
**************
many have moved on as this forum has become home for cranky neocon extremists to post the same ridiculous talking points over and over without thought.

I thought they were Jehovah’s Witnesses. My bad. Witnesses usually don’t sound sound so programmed.

Obama supporters:
Children of The Corn-Part II

What lies….he asks. Well lets see Chris Dodd was asked on CNN one day who put the AIG bonuses back in the stimulus and his answer was he did not know he had nothing to do with it. The next day he tells the truth after he told the lie and said he snuck it back in the bill because Geithner told him he had to. I honestly don’t know what else could be more of a definition of a lie than this. As far as cover up I include this instance or should I say a failed attempt at a cover up. Dodd trying to cover himself with his lie. And for the record I don’t doubt for a minute Obama knew about it. And if he didn’t he should have.

Thank you for evenhanded reporting.

My first tea party was Tampa, on February 27th. Yesterday I was in Orlando with another 4,000 or so average Americans. A 30-fold increase in less than a month. That strikes me as more than a blip from a few cranks. On April 15 there will be dozens of tea parties across America. Wait and see the numbers. Then there’s July 4th in Washington, D.C….

If you’re feeling negative and depressed, that’s a sign that you’re waking up…that’s good. It IS negative and depressing to have the economy and our security collapse under a pile of lies. Its not all hopey changey. sorry.
****************************************
Never said I was feeling negative or depressed, I believe I said that you are negative and depressing.

A collapsing economy can be a real buzz kill.

I did a very simple we search and the first link I picked up was an explanation of the group. They were founded by….(drum roll please)…ACORN and the United Auto Workers Labor Union.
*************
I believe everything the Free Republic Blog tells me too! (vomit)

Also, there is a lot of violence being shown in the Tea Party pics
This is a bald-faced lie.

prediction :
the democrats will right this sinking ship without any republican help whatsoever and the republican party will quietly and slowly dissolve into a bad memory .
one can only hope…

Nostradamus … if they were able to do that, Ronald Reagan wouldn’t have been elected after the last time they tried.
This is nothing new … and just like before the socioeconomic policies of these new Leftists conflict so much with basic human nature, that they become parasitic upon a nation.
Believe it or not, it is conservative principle that is more in line with humanity that the teachings of the Cult of Obama … leading to policy that is symbiotic to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
And Jim … that is not a whine you are hearing … it is a roar.
A roar of outrage, from people not easily outraged.
And it is getting louder and louder.
One can only hope that it gets loud enough, that it leads to REAL changes that make BOTH parties, and the seniority-based system that allows a few hippies to leave me effectively without representation in Congress, obsolete.

prediction :
the republicans will whine themselves right into the dustbin of history ,people are more informed today and the republican lie machine is in ruins…
this president isnt jimmy carter and he will definitely serve 2 terms ,bank on it(pun intended)
if you dont believe me look at the bookmakers odds in las vegas of the republicans being in the white house for the next 2 election cycles…not good at all!

Nostradamus … the Leftist lie machine is being exposed, more and more, every day.
And that is what is on people’s minds … your propaganda is yesterday’s news.
Your Leader is in charge now … let’s see the miracles that were promised.

“What did bush and the majority republicans do good for this country over the last 8 years ? run it into the ditch is all ,and for what?”
Try no further attacks on American soil since the Lefitst-enabled/unwittingly encouraged events of 11 September 2001 … in part by preventing Iraq from becoming Afghanistan 2.0 … and recovering the economy from the bursting of the dot-comm bubble.
“ummm that would be totally unwarranted tax cuts for the wealthy and elite , pork filled no bid contracts for their fat cat industrialist buddies…disgusting and ridiculously obscene.:”
Totally unwarranted? You probably believe that the wealthy simply stash the cash on their yachts … instead of investing it in ways that raise our standard of living and create jobs for the rest of us. Sheesh, somebody even had to build those yachts.
And if you’re going to rail about no-bid contracts … understand that good ol’ KBR was getting those back in the Clinton Administration as well, under circumstances far less justifying of such fast-track awards than the onset of a war.
“worse yet is that there are innumerable die hard republicans who will try their best to re-write the total b/s that WAS the last 8 years of buffoonery into something that makes the republican party look like something less that 110% responsible…which they indeed were.”
And still worse yet is the misrepresentation that what this nation needs is a return to 1970′s tax-and-spend policies … to solve a problem that has its roots, not in the policies of one party, but multipartisan greed that cuts across class lines. Mr. Bush didn’t hold a gun to the heads of all those people who bought more house than they could afford.
“this president has already said the buck stops with him,even though the mess he is taking the heat for is not his,or the democrats doing.”
This President OUTSOURCED the creation of the alleged stimulus program to the politcal animals and aged hippies of the Congressional leadership. If he’s not throwing them under the bus now it’s been exposed for the garbage it is, he is not much of a politician … much less a leader.
Now he’s touring the nation, in what looks like a diversionary tactic, to draw attention away from the fact that the promised miracles are not forthcoming … and that his team has ‘nary a clue about what is going to work.
“how could the democrats pass laws when gwb had the veto pen for 8 years? republicans ,”
Simple … “either give us some of what we want, Mr. President, or we will fillibuster the bills supporting the War on Terror to death”.
Not to mention what DIDN’T get passed — i.e. mortgage-industry regulatory reform — because the Dems used both procedural roadblocks and the last two years of power to obstruct, obstruct, obstruct.
“the blame for the mess this country is in is on your party/president ,and correctly so .”
As I said above, the blame for getting into this mess is multipartisan … but the blame for the inability to get us out of the mess, because of their insistence to repeat what didn’t work three decades ago, is on yours.
“continue to deny ,lie , point blame elsewhere ,etc etc…it will be the undoing of the republican party and i personally am loving seeing the probable end of such a pathetic ,racist ,bigoted political party.”
As opposed to a condescending, elitist, group of highly-educated-yet-unwise group of Best and Brightest who suffer from delusions of omniscience and omnipotence to such a degree that they can work AGAINST human nature and solve the myriad of life’s problems for 300 million individuals … so much so that we are supposed to cede access to any other alternatives to their omniscience?
You can’t point back, anymore. You own this … and it will at least lead to a mistrust of the political Left (and their media allies) that will in turn lead to isolating it from power for years to come.
Hopefully, it will lead to rendering BOTH parties obsolete, and seeing government of/by/for the people re-established.

Today’s date? March 22, 2009. Now
Louie Farrakan says that if you take
the number 22 and multiply it by
the number of the Holy Trinity (that’s
“three” for those of you in Rio Linda),
you get 66. Now add the first two
digits of the current year, and you
get 86. Obama will “86″ your economy.
It’s there for all to see! Thank me
later, but thank me, you will.

I believe whatever this administration does ,it will be much superior to the previous republicans. i mean , how could it be worse , honestly?

You ain’t seen nothing yet.

Worth a re-post ,and yes I AGREE!

After watching Obama on 60 Minutes, I was reminded what an excellent choice he was for president.
He spoke intelligently and at length about the range of problems facing America and about how he goes about the business of the presidency. I feel reassured by his calm, thoughtful demeanor, and his sense of balance in dealing with the different interests placing demands on him.

I think I got it now…
So.. Normally, Bank bailouts and the AIG bailout are awful and ridiculous politics by Obama according to the right wingers who posted here today and most every day.
Today is the exception because despite the fact that AIG received over 105 Billion dollars of taxpayer bail-out money, gave 165 million in bonuses to the very people for squandering that tax payer money and the right-wingers are relentless in their criticism of Obama on this topic -
Except for today…..
It suddenly does not matter anymore because there was a protest against these AIG execs by Community Activist from various organizations, including the big right winger boogeyman, Acorn.
Now I hear repeatedly about all the money in the stimulus for Acorn, but no one can find it in the stimulus. One poster went so far as to chastise another for not knowing that it is “hidden” and she should “figure it out” for herself. LOL
Here is your problem Right Wingers. You can’t talk out of both sides of your mouth and make a lick of sense. If you are so mad about the bank bail-outs – you should be at the protest – not complaining about them.
Quit looking for straw men because your complete and total hypocrisy makes your party a joke.

HHmmm….We have religious groups that come to our door….distributing pamphlets…..
Soooooo….Obamaism is a real religion now?
How dare the Govt….send footsoldiers to our homes????
Its bad enough you can’t turn on the television without seeing the propaganda
Realty check……look what JP Morgan just did…..heh heh heh…….I’d say thay ‘flipped off’ Obama pretty good…..
Maybe the bail outs wer’nt such a good idea…..
In fact….its starting to smell funny….it kinda looks like these guys never really needed the money….
Was this Obama’s first step in his plan to bankrupt America?…..
JP Morgan will not pay for their new jets using bail out money….they will use their OWN money……….
We really can’t get thru a day now without seeing An Obama gaffe….
Still think bail outs are the answer?
This is a horror show….

It’s a bit sad that the President has to call on supporters to go door to door to support your budget. The budget will and should sell itself, or draw criticism itself, regardless if a pimple faced freshman in college visits my door trying to sell me something I can read for myself. The fact that this door to door thing was created at all must mean that it’s a hard sell. It seems the message is “trust the President, even if the budget looks bad”.

Obama and Geithner need to give back all the tax payer money and perks they’ve been getting for their failed performances.

if you dont believe me look at the bookmakers odds in las vegas of the republicans being in the white house for the next 2 election cycles…not good at all!

===================================
If I were going to look at the odds it wouln’t be in Vegas, it would be with ACORN..they seem to know how to get out the vote…Hummmmmm. Without the fraud the election might not have made you so happy. Just the way of the democrats.

From reading various local news articles, it seems that the tea parties are being organized by conservative radio hosts.
Obama said there would be great resistance to change so the tea parties aren’t really a surprise.
Those tea party folks don’t seem to understand that our economy needs help, it simply can’t recover on its own. All over the world governments are spending big money to give the unemployed benefits or jobs as it is the logical thing to do. During our last depression, the government spent a lot on new jobs to stop the downward economic spiral. The spending plan today is the same kind of help.

Seems everyone is upset by the AIG 167 million bonus.
How about the congress giving ACORN 2 BILLION of your tax money for their usual “community reorganizing”.
Dont know why they keep living in such disorganized communities. Mine are all organized when I get there.
But it is likely needed to dig up all those dead leftists to vote again, and agaqin, and again.

Time to put down the spending bills and step away from the printing presses. We should cutting spending and taxes. You can’t spend your way out of debt, and these Trillions will have to be payed back. We’re making Maddof look like a skin flint when it comes to spending our kids money, a little commonsense would go along way.
