Can you say hypocrite? It will be interesting to see how long the millions of people who voted for Obama, and the media who did not bother to hold him to any accountability, will continue maintaining an infatuation for their ideal of Obama rather than the reality of who he is and will become. Already it seems he is a President who believes that as President he can bend the rules when it comes to his Presidential decisions. Sound familiar? Well, it should. His decision to appoint a lobbyist as one of the most powerful people in Washington is no change at all. Frankly, it saddens me for America and the people who put their trust in him. Apparently, the "Yes We Can" is more of "Yes I Can" because I am the President. Where is the ethics of leadership he promised the American people?

More simple minded attacks without merit.
If you'll notice, I have not once claimed this administration to be anything at all, good, bad, otherwise. READ what I have written, I have simply pointed out the weaknesses in other's argument. For all I know the Obama admin will fail. My point is this, offer facts of value, not open-ended and vague name-calling "fits of emotions."
Still waiting on my fact challange to anyone. And the offer for real debate on finance, etc.

As B.O.'s screwups continue to multiply we can expect you to become even more shrill and ineffective in your panic and confusion. But hey, relax, this to shall pass (the sooner the better.)

Lets summarize-
Trucker and Louis throw out accusations. I point out that they are accusations with no link to it's source and point out that Trucker is making a medical diagnosis (a serious claim in the medical world if not a doctor, but whatever).
I then point to the right-sided leaders and their very obvious flaws.
I am then attacked as untruthful and a plagarist. The plagarsim claim was clearly debunked immediately, but the untruthful claim continues to be tossed out there with zero proof. Back up your claims if really expect anyone to believe your argument. Unless of course you are TRYING to look like a knee-jerk reactionary who is simply unable to write with intelligence.
What is worse, is no one can actually muster a decent conversation about banks/finance, correction to earmarks or job growth, not a single actual attempt at debating these issues. Why? Aren't these things more important to America and our county than faulty attacks?

And, if by chance my sources or facts wind up false, I will admit it. Prove it though. I challenge you. Take your time, I can wait.

Remember when the economic crisis hit and the giant investment banking firm of Bear Sterns filed for bankruptcy? The company asked for financial assistance from the government but Congress decided (wisely) that private businesses make their own decisions and should be held accountable for them. Consequently, Bear Sterns went out of business.
Then several months later AIG, the huge insurance company, announced it too was in financial difficulty. Congress did a 180 turn in their philosophy and provided bail out money for AIG. Why the change of heart? Was it out of concern for the tens of thousands of citizens who might loose money? Or perhaps Congress was suddenly concerned for the economy as a whole. Well, it was nothing that complicated.

I love the attack of the "MSM." It is attacking the messenger, as is always the last ditch effort in desperation to get your wayward point across.
The internet is great thing, if for nothing else, for the ability to diversify your news resources. Failure to use or recognize this, is purely your choice. Disappointment with your impression of MSM says nothing specific about a particular news agency or particular story told. The remedy, if you wish, is to develop an all-new, website/cable news with no bias. Good luck sir.

Still a far cry from plagarism.
I did not make myself as clear as I could in reference to the rushing in of legislation.
Instead I quickly drew comparison to last president's flaws with a rush to remedy. That wasn't a crystal clear analogy to see. But I absolutely do agree with too much too soon, simply because each bill is loaded with pork and certainly at risk for not being well developed due to it's expediting.
You have a fault though too. The nationalism/bank remarks are questions I pose. They are not my "ideals." Notice the "?" in my previous comments.
It could though run out the crooks, but it is anti-capitalistic and anti-business. I am just wondering aloud if there is some degree of merit to it, perhaps not. I just have yet to hear anyone, anywhere offer much that sounds plausible to really get our economy going again and to prevent the banks from doing it again.

Yes, there is a rushing in of agenda. As did Bush to his war on civil rights. Both have spent money with no gold standard. This means we CAN spend all we want with few risks. If inflation rises we lose. If not, we get the new roads, schools, and people to work for free. The absurd earmarks are certainly a problem, and is a serious detriment.
What does Cuba and Russia have to do with anything? Each party would love to be a majority forever. Duh.
Should we nationalize the banks and then privatize in about 5 years time to the highest, qualified bidder? It's the SnL all over again. Would a capitalism model work again once we have a decent GNP? It would be a good clearing house for the crooks running the banks. It's also what the IMF recommends.

George Soros strongly recommended the Obama administration follow the Swedish model by nationalizing troubled U.S. banks as quickly as possible so toxic assets in mortgage-backed securities and other troubled bonds could be absorbed by the taxpayer, positioning the banks to begin aggressive lending once again, only now with clean balance sheets and new government bureaucrat managers.
Appearing to be an insider, Soros suggested to CNBC that the Obama administration plans to "save up" $100 billion from the TARP, with a plan to "leverage these funds up" by utilizing Federal Reserve assets to reach a total of a new $1 trillion to rescue banks, without going to Congress with a request for a new $1 trillion in TARP funds.
Soros suggested this new $1 trillion "will help relieve the situation," but he doubted even this additional $1 trillion would be "enough to turn the situation around."
"In the end, we will have to nationalize the banks, if we want the banks to start lending again," Soros finally admitted to CNBC toward the end of his interview.

What Obama has been doing in just two months has me frightened.

He talks down the economy.
He spreads lies and deceit.
He initiates programs intended to grow into Leftist monsters which will steal away our freedom in ten or so years. And all this without any debate or without the electorate knowing what booby traps await us.
One of two things are likely to happen: either the Democrat Party will be destroyed from this or America will.
An America which tries to become a Social Democratic State like the European Union will be poor, backward, demoralized and militarily weak.
There is no certainty that America will even hang together.

Obama could have unified the country by producing a bipartisan bill which included some elements of Republican ideas (tax cuts for Americans and businesses) as well as “New Deal” type work programs that Democrats support.
In my opinion, Obama never considered a bipartisan approach to the stimulus bill. There is an arrogant “call to greatness” attitude in his domestic policy.

Wow, thank you for providing three Republican principles that are NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY THE MAJORITY OF PARTY MEMBERS. I'm sorry, but it's not 1960 anymore.
Fiscal responsibility (while introducing "spend, spend, and spend some more on credit" economics into American politics, THREE DECADES AGO)? Free enterprise (while arresting individuals like Tommy Chong, who, regardless of their recreational habits, did NOTHING illegal by selling blown glass products)? The best government is that which governs least (I guess that doesn't count if you're invading ANOTHER country, or if you're attempting to legislate things like religious dogma 2000-year-old ideas of "morality"... how about the tens of billions successfully spent on the "war on drugs?)?
I'm sorry, but you're describing the LIBERTARIAN PARTY (personal and economic freedom, free enterprise, small government). Please update your talking points memo, and your voter registration.

All I ever hear anymore is a bunch of whining and finger pointing. If you want a government that is not going to take advantage of us you have to do something about it. You can do all the complaining you want, but it won't change anything. Next time you vote for an elected official don't let the media control who you decide to vote for. Just because the news tells you that its between Obama and Mccain doesn't mean that is true. Vote Independent or you are only contributing to the problem. RON PAUL IN 2012

It would be unfair to pounce all over Team Obama this early in their administration.
After all, while the Democrats bear a lot of responsibility for the knee-deep toxic mess, the bulk of the responsibility has to rest on the shrugging shoulders of Obama’s immediate predecessor and those that came before him.
Early though it may be, however, it’s not too early to come right out and say what needs to be said: when it comes to the steps being taken to address the current crisis, Obama has no clothes.

Gives a great summation of economics in the US since 1820s. Speaks of the disparity of workers pay to consumerism, to profit increase due to capitalism. People have awoken to a new economic reality, that wages have frozen since the 1970s, consumption was stagnant as money wasn't available, so workers/housesholds began to work more, households began to fall apart, US people consume more drugs than any other country, people began charging with money that they didn't have. The execs saw this shift in consumption and charging for "stuff" that we "had" to own. So they started lending the working class money, so we work for them, they lend us money with interest. We started owning collateral, we could put loans on that collateral, so the lending bonanza was blowing out of control. Incomes did not increase, but lending went out the roof.

Sadly, all this matters little to the left.Politics now is simply based upon how to fool the ignorant and uninformed. Democrats know it and practice it using the selfishness of human nature to purchase votes while Republicans still think principle matters.

John Adams put it well when he said: "We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
