When the economy worsens, and when Obama's popularity falls, they will see we were right.

BTW, you remember how Bush was criticized for his lack of response in light of Katrina?  Well, where has Obama been with respect to the ice storms the east has had?  People have died and FEMA has done nothing!   But we won't hear the left cry out over that.

Czuch:  I can't believe that in one week Obama has clearly made decisions that are business as usual in Washington.  So much for change we can believe in.   His ideas will fail.  And that will be then end of him.  The republicans will retake the house and the Oval Office too. 

The bailout hasn't worked.  Small business isn't getting helped like they should.  Big business isn't either.  The money will basically go to the fat cats and the stock holders.  NO INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS! 

There little to no accountability.  Greed and poor judgment are at the root of the current problems we face.   And Washington continues to feed the madness.  And we the people are having our money stolen from us by our government!  I thought the democratic party was the party of the little guy.  But they are the worst when it comes to exploiting the little guy!

Bernice:  The USA has problems because we have an incompetent government.  They can't run even a small operation without cost overruns and very bad decisions.  The current "stimulus" package is a case in point.  Obama had better strip it of all the pork or it's another example of useless government spending.  It won't create jobs but it will make some people rich.  I won't see a dime but I'll pay for it.  So far, the only voice of sanity has been the republicans (who share the blame for the mess we are in.)  I can't stand the democrats though.  They are a bunch of liars and thiefs.  Nancy Pelosi is as dumb as a rock.  I can't believe she actually suggested that millions of "stimulus" money go for contraceptives and sex ed.  Really.  That would make our economy grow.  She's just confused.  She knows enough to connect sex with "stimulus" and "growth."  But as for the economy, she's out to lunch.  Cooler heads prevailed and stripped that bozo idea out of the package.  But there are millions more earmarked for other stupid democratic projects.  Bunch of losers.

His pre decessor saw to it that we had NO budget deficit, so this enables Kevin07 to be able to instigate the policies he is now doing so - monetary wise.

And extreme heat is correct.....record temps in 100+ years.

A newly released Homeland Security report stats that Hezbollah members have immigrated into our country, set up terrorist cells and even charities to help fund their organization. Any person who is not being politically correct will see this report as saying that Muslim immigration is slowly destroying our country. It is time to end it before it is too late.

The good news is that if in two years Obama doesn't turn things around, he's done.

Assunto: Re:Also, they spent years telling us how trickle down economics doesnt work, and years complaining about the big bad oil subsidies, and now look at them go!!!!
Czuch:  Isn't that the truth.  I guess trickle down works when we have a democratic pres 

Obama is spending a ton of money and betting his presidency on the success of his plan.  He's promising 400 million new jobs.  It's not going to happen.  And when it fails, the conservatives will take back congress and in 4 years the white house. 

I hope by then the republicans have learned to stick to their roots and stop acting like liberals.  Otherwise we're in for a world of hurt as a country.

Dick Morris suggests that nothing happens this year and that in fact, things will get worse.  09 will be a disaster (some say the economy will improve by the summer) but Morris says no.

In 2010 the depression ends and then hyper inflation takes over.  Then an induced recession occurs to decrease the inflation rate.  Not good and if this scenario occurs, Obama is finished.  So are the dems. 

As for the Bush haters, they are still there.  Karl Rove has been subpoenaed by congress.  He said he won't show.  The subpoena is thanks to Rep. John Conyers, chair of the the House Judiciary Committee.  He's a Bush hater and Hates Rove even more. Conyers, like many on the left, suffers from BDS and it's likely to continue at least for the immediate furture. 

For those that don't know, BDS is short for "Bush Derangement Syndrome."  It's a political term coined by the American conservative political columnist, and psychiatrist, Charles Krauthammer.  Krauthammer defined Bush Derangement Syndrome as "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency — nay — the very existence of George W. Bush".

  It explains a lot too!

Whats really funny / strange, is that typically I would expect democrats / liberals to want to hand out money to the poor helpless people personally..... IE give money to people to help them pay their mortgage or their heat or something like that... like you said, people could keep their homes and the banks could get paid back, and home prices would not fall so much due to the huge glut in the market because so many homes were foreclosed on!

Also, they spent years telling us how trickle down economics doesnt work, and years complaining about the big bad oil subsidies, and now look at them go!!!!

Pouring all this money into the big bad banks and hope it trickles down to the little guy.... have they really lost their minds this time??? Or have they been lost forever anyway??? ( I vote for the second one)

Well one good thing has come from this election.... at least we are finally finished listening ad nausea about Bush... I just wish they would stick around longer to get a taste of their own medicine.... but they arent interested in defending their chosen one.... because they just dont know how to do anything but complain!

Bush lost sight of the deeper conservative principles when he endorced the bail out packages.  The economy doens't need help.  It needs the incompetent legislators to keep out of it.  Where were those idiots (including Bush) when the banks and investment firms were stealing the people blind?   And now the stupid banks are forclosing on people.  Duh.  Ummmmm how about giving people who can't afford high interest loans lower interest loans so they can actually pay the banks back?  Banks still make money and people keep their homes.


Now the damage is done.  They want to fix the mess we're in (the US is broke) and so what do they do?  They give money to the crooks with little or no accountability (and the crooks are asking for more) but they are still kicking people out of their homes, paying their stock holders, and one financial institution tried to purchase a new private jet for 15 million.  Yeah, they got severl billion in bailout money.  They cancelled the purchase.


Hopefully the democrats won't be able to ruin the country entirely until we can get some competent republicans into office.   The dems are currently taking us further down the road to sure disaster.


And while I'm at it, let's have the new president appoint someone in charge of the economy fix that can't even figure out turbo tax!

Nancy Pelosi wants to decrease the surplus population and claims that a stimulus package will help do just that.

huh?

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning services. How is that stimulus? PELOSI: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children's health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those - one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government. STEPHANOPOULOS: So no apologies for that? PELOSI: No apologies. No. we have to deal with the consequences of the downturn in our economy.

Assunto: From CNN's Jack Cafferty:

How would you rate Pres. Obama's first week?

If you’re going to ban lobbyists from working for you, you have to
ban the one that used to lobby for Raytheon from working in your
Defense Department as well.


If you’re going to close Guantanamo, you have to have a plan for
what to do with the inmates there. A couple of them have turned up in
recent al Qaeda videos.


You can’t overturn President Bush’s executive order banning abortion
funding for charitable groups overseas without incurring the wrath of
right-to-lifers in this country.


And picking a fight with the corpulent Oxycontin aficionado of right
wing talk radio, Rush Limbaugh, will mobilize a bunch more on the
conservative right and begin to down your approval ratings.


But the new President seems to be weathering the storm quite well.
The latest Gallup Poll, taken over the weekend, gives him a 69% job
approval rating.

I predict that Obama will only make things worse for the economy of the US (and that will affect the world) and that if it continues through his first 100 days, he'll be defeated in 4 years. There is such corruption in Washington (Barney Frank is a thief) and Obama has some very questionable appointees in his administration. One has to wonder if he'd appoint the fox to guard the hen house simply because "he's the best candidate for the job."

Well AD.... sorry to see you scared all the liberals away when I was gone for a few hours.

The thing they just wont seem to admit, and the reason they cant hang with the big dogs in any kind of debate, is that liberalism isnt built around logic, its built around "feelings" and "compassion", for which there are no logical end.

We can debate to no end, and without ever running away, because our ideals are based in logic instead of emotion, and in the end, that is what will eventually win any debate!

Assunto: for BBW..
Just reading back a bit further...... I guess you might not be reading here anymore.... but when the UN gave Saddam another final resolution and backed it with the words "serious consequences", maybe you can remember, what it was the UN had in mind?

To me, the UN had technically backed the force able removal of saddam for breach of his UN agreements, but th ey just hand wrangled over it for so long... its like the child ready to jump into the water, and they stand there for so long, it takes a slight nudge to get them to actually plunge in!

We realize that this was a far more complicated issue than simply Saddam breached another UN agreement, and the serious consequences that followed..... the US was glad to see him breach the UN agreement, and there were a multitude of other reasons besides the UN breaches that the US had for wanting to get Saddam out.....

Anyway, to me, it is a far more complicated and complex situation than some in here make it out to be... its not clear cut on either side.... but just the fact that the Un had agreed to serious consequences for one last failure to comply, gives their technical "backing" of the US and coalition efforts to remove saddam.

One of the naked realities here is that the only reason they were actually captured instead of killed on the battle field is because of the intelligence we could gain from interrogating them.... take that option away, and given the send them all to court option, it is very likely that we will find far fewer prisoners of this type ever anymore!

The battlefield tactics will become far less forgiving....
