Oh, I thought an inaccurate description wouldn't properly show what he has been doing ... silly me.   

In my not-worth-a-plug-nickle opinion...

Obama inherited a truely awful state of our Union.  It was going down fast long before he took office.  The turds in the toilet bowl of our economic crisis were and still are swirling the bowl.  The big flush hasn't finished yet from the old administration. 

Of course things are going to get worse before they get better.  That was foretold by leading economists 6 months ago at least if not much longer.

I'm no fan of alot of things that have been going on for many many years now.  I didn't vote for Obama either.  But I feel it's premature to blame his administration for things getting worse in the short term here.  He didn't cause it.  And no matter if he had 100% approval rate for what his plans are, they take time to impliment.

If we've already passed that cliff, might give some concerns of a parachute.


seems we've accelerated past half a million jobs per month for a time.

Charlie,
You sure have a way of saying allot without saying much.

I am hoping and praying that Obama, Pelosi, Ried, and all of them FAIL at shredding our constitution.

Our constitution authorizes a LIMITED government, NOT an unlimited, omnipotent nanny state.  This country was formed on the principles of personal responsibility, NOT cradle-to-grave government.  We are a Republic of States.  The federal government is quickly usurping every power they can in the name of saving us, when in fact it is they who have ruined us.

There's a reason we have the right to bear arms, and I'm afraid that we'll soon be put in a position of exercising that right to defend ourselves against a Marxist regime.  Very afraid.

God, I am glad I own guns.

Does anyone here know how close we came to a complete collapse of the world economy in September?  There was a draw down of money market funds in the space of 1.5 hours that was over $550 Billion dollars.  The government tried like hell to stem the flow by pumping $150 B into the markets before they realized they didn't have the liquidity to sustain it.  They predicted that if left unchecked, they would have seen a drawdown of $5 TRILLION dollars or more and within 24 hours the entire world economy would have collapsed.  eventually, they *closed* the markets and offered a $250K gaurantee on all accounts.  This temporary fix has gotten us this far, but the fundemental problems still exist.

The fact is, the economy is teetering on the edge of disaster, and the government is spending TRILLIONS on a liberal wet-dream instead of addressing the problem at all.  Almost nothing in this bill is helpful.

I hope you all know how to grow your own food and hunt.  You better start learning.

How's THAT for alarmist?  When the depression is in full swing, do you think anybody will give a rat's ass if you are democrat or republican?  It doesn't matter anymore, really.

Smoothness isn't leadership.  After all Ex-Lax gives you smoothness but what comes out is still $hit.  Obama may give well oratory presentations but I find he doesn't have a firm grasp of what is needed.



Reagan's budgets to this day are still talked about as the whopper budget busters but this spending bill is talked about in the media as needed.  LOL  This will be the Albatross around the neck of our economy.

Charlie,

Here's a few Reagan quotes.

To paraphrase Winston Churchill, I did not take the oath I have just taken with the intention of presiding over the dissolution of the world's strongest economy.
Ronald Reagan

How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
Ronald Reagan

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
Ronald Reagan

No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!
Ronald Reagan

I've never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a 'fat cat' and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a 'public-spirited philanthropist'.
Ronald Reagan

Let us be sure that those who come after will say of us in our time, that in our time we did everything that could be done. We finished the race; we kept them free; we kept the faith.
Ronald Reagan

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
Ronald Reagan

Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.
Ronald Reagan

Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.
Ronald Reagan

Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
Ronald Reagan

Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
Ronald Reagan

Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
Ronald Reagan

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
Ronald Reagan

Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them.
Ronald Reagan

Ahh ... I guess you missed the O'Reilly Factor where Bush's Press Secretary described how they would plan who to call on and who not to call on .... there was a pre-approved list, along with the illusion that he called on just anyone with their hand up.
