Anyone Watch The Press Conference?

[bullypulpit]

You certainly wrote many times that any hint that there were 'forces' out to get us was fear mongering. Rushing through a pork filled bill, that will not be paid off even by our great grandchildren is not a crisis, nor would it prevent one. A few days of letting the people look at this cure all would be a good start.

So, why weren't you complaining when the Bush administration was running up deficits "...that will not be paid off even by our great grandchildren..."?

If laying out the facts is fear mongering , so be it. When the Bush administration used the tactic, their grasp of the facts was tenuous, at best.

Many of us did BP - myself included

Now, the very things you liberals screamed about - deficit spending, increasing the national debt, wasteful spending, and scare tactics - are being used by Obama, Reid, and Pelosi

Yet while you screamed at the heavens when Pres bush did it - you give us a loud yawn when Obama and your Dems do them

Geithner's Cash For Trash
Susan Lee, 02.10.09, 04:36 PM EST
Why no honest write-downs for bad debt?


He came. He spoke. The market tanked. He went. The market tanked some more. Such is the power of Treasury Secretary Geithner.

My spirits pretty much tanked, too. On the No. 1 problem--valuing toxic paper--no details were offered. Instead, Tim Geithner talked about some sort of vague public-private thingie from (or in) which the paper will appear having been miraculously priced. The cost of this mysterious process? Maybe $1 trillion, maybe more...

Obama stakes presidency on stimulus

FORT MYERS, Fla. |

President Obama on Tuesday for the first time staked his fledgling presidency on pulling the country from its economic crisis, promising dispirited Floridians that his stimulus plan will produce tangible results such as jobs and tuition credits or he'll be ousted from office in 2012.

Mr. Obama -- who earned a small victory when the Senate passed his $838 billion plan but then was hit with a big drop in the stock market -- was on the campaign trail again, using a town-hall meeting and one of the best weapons in his arsenal: himself.

Mr. Obama engagingly pushed his plan, joking that he would pull from the best ideas "whether it comes from a Democrat or a Republican or a vegetarian," acted as comforter in chief and, when asked about the country's notorious impatience, he strayed from his standard answer that the crisis won't be solved overnight.

"I expect to be judged by results and ... I'm not going to make any excuses," he said. "If stuff hasn't worked and people don't feel like I've led the country in the right direction, then -- you'll have a new president."

liar, he has constantly blamed bush

Of course he did. But the liberal media wil not call him on it

And when this mega pork bill makes things worse, he will forget this speech and blame Pres Bush, Republicans, talk radio, Fox News, and the racists in America
