Interesting that the Huffington Post hate site, home of some of the most deranged, vile comments on the web, now has an accredited White House correspondent.

Obama underestimates the effect of the massive debt that people do not want to increase. Businesses do not, families do not.
People are maxed out and jobs are insecure, so the credit solution isn't going to work.

IIRC, Hitler did something similar in Germany in the early '30s.

In just a few short weeks, the new administration of President Barack Obama has managed to weaken the perception of American power and embolden US adversaries throughout the world.

"The main lesson we have learned from the New Deal is that wholesale government intervention can--and does--deliver the most unintended of consequences. This was true in the 1930s, when artificially high wages and prices kept us depressed for more than a decade, it was true in the 1970s when price controls were used to combat inflation but just produced shortages. It is true today, when poorly designed regulation produced a banking system that took on too much risk." (Harold L. Cole, economist at the University of Pennsylvania)Yes, it's amazing how government doesn't ever get the blame for what it does, only for what it doesn't do. This is why conservatives rushed to the biggest government bailout in world history last fall. They were afraid of being seen as "not doing something" and therefore would lose big to the liberals in the election. (Gee, it really worked out for them, didn't it?) Nobody in office wants to be seen as not intervening in the economy, because it's widely assumed that the only harm that can come to the economy is from a government that does "too little." Yet if you look at the areas of the economy where government interferes the least--technology, all of our gadgets--you end up with maximum affordability and innovation. If you look at the areas of the economy where government interferes the most--health care, education, and, yes, the banking and mortgage industry in recent decades--you see (at best) boom and bust and (at worst) disaster.
I don't know what it will take to convince people that the government which governs least governs best. If this idea couldn't take hold in America, I don't know where and when it will.

You are wrong. Right here on Huffington Post, it says and I quote:
It occurs to me that my children, in their 20's, had no real interest in politics during the Clinton years. Therefore, their only exposure to a Chief Executive has been G W Bush. Watching their President take questions and answer them in complete sentences, with thoughtfulness and insight has to be a completely alien experience for them.
Thank you America, for coming to your senses. Now we must drive the obstructionists out of Washington, so that the serious work of governing can begin! highflag

Where each worker may bloom secure from the pests of contradictory and confusing truths. Our Unification of Thought is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are one people.

They want it, because it will be easier for them to transmit financial and DRG reports to the government. They are desperately wanting ONE central intermediary for government reimbursements to physicians and healthcare providers. It is NOT about bad handwriting.
It will be step ONE in data basing ALL providers into ONE government healthcare system.

Charles:
I must protest your labeling of the Gluehuffe- excuse me, the Huffington Post as the most hateful site on the internet. I frequent and write diaries for the Daily Kos; and not the kind of diaries that they like. No, sir. In fact, here are a few comments:
"You fucken voted for Bush 2x, and we should listen to a single goddamn word that you type?
The man is a traitorous scum of biblical proportions, who has raped our entire democracy.
Fuck you, and fuck him."
And, in regards to my support of Bush's foreign policy:
"Not until you fucking first apologize. Til then, stay away."
In defending Hamas:
Hamas has fireworks, IDF has f-16's and tanks. Shut the fuck up with your silly shit.
Charles, I respectfully submit that you give the Daily Kos due recognition as the second most virulent hate site on the interwebs.

No it will be used for health care rationing. The government will be telling the doctors who they will be able to treat based on the patient's health history. Who do you think will be in charge of securing the medical information for the public good but the government. Socialized medicine is just another word for rationed health care how else do you think they are going to be able to afford the new utopia they envision?

It isn't that much of a leap.
Big Gov't gets to peruse your records to make sure you have documentation of diagnostic code xyz which will permit ordering some high dollar test.
They tabulate how many people getting the test are justifying it with diagnosis xyz, then disallow it in next year's billing rules to save money.
So, people have to think of a way to game the system until the powers that be figure out the game and react. It is an endless cycle made fast and easy by playing with electronic medical records.

re: #256 notutopia
They want it, because it will be easier for them to transmit financial and DRG reports to the government. They are desperately wanting ONE central intermediary for government reimbursements to physicians and health care providers. It is NOT about bad handwriting.
It will be step ONE in data basing ALL providers into ONE government health care system.
I never said it was about bad handwriting nor do I think it is all about the DRG reports. If the government has total control under a one payer system they will be calling the shots on who gets treated and what they will allow to be treated. I'm terrified by the thought of a bureaucrat who doesn't know their ass crack from a whole in the ground making a decision on medical treatment.

will doctors be able to opt out of the state run medical care plan or will the gov't chain them to the system some how.
i have a friend (dr.) who threw off the medicad co-pay paper work shackles and just see patients for a flat fee. no matter how long it takes. he has never been happier and has a big following of people who adore him.
it would be great if doctors rebelled and refused to play the big brother game of medicine.
Won't work. They'll make it mandatory. The Clinton bill made it a criminal offense for a doctor to have a private pay patient. Medicare right now will not allow certain providers to opt out and set fees, rules, require electronic billing which requires computers, software, and electronic billing partners.

It isn't that much of a leap.
Big Gov't gets to peruse your records to make sure you have documentation of diagnostic code xyz which will permit ordering some high dollar test.
They tabulate how many people getting the test are justifying it with diagnosis xyz, then disallow it in next year's billing rules to save money.
So, people have to think of a way to game the system until the powers that be figure out the game and react. It is an endless cycle made fast and easy by playing with electronic medical records.
I've been playing these goddamn games with insurance companies for 22 years. Too bad my life is on the line.

If you actually want to know something, as someone in the medical field, that idea is a good one.
It is the private sector trying to answer the problem of basic medical care out of reach financially for many people.
One of the exorbitant costs in medicine is overhead. This cuts out a large chunk of that, gives the service quick, and on demand, and keeps the consumer in control.

re: #362 Code Red 21
I never said it was about bad handwriting nor do I think it is all about the DRG reports. If the government has total control under a one payer system they will be calling the shots on who gets treated and what they will allow to be treated. I'm terrified by the thought of a bureaucrat who doesn't know their ass crack from a whole in the ground making a decision on medical treatment.
Then we agree. If they can control all the data base info, then they will have first hand access to all the plans of treatment and the reimbursements. Most of this is currently handled by intermediaries who are contractors. There are also numerous independent companies that compile and database benchmarking information which is sold to healthcare organizations for JCHCO accreditations and other accreditation groups, and also to the government. If they can remove the middleman, they WILL be able to potentially prescribe health care treatment plans and control reimbursement. It will be recipe book medicine with fixed reimbursement. It will make Millers and Roberts Outcomes look like Bisquik....any every biscuit will be the same in uniformity and quality.
Well, so much for 10 years of medical school./

BREAKING NEWS: EXCLUSIVE: FBI Raided Lobbying Firm Connected to Murtha
The FBI raided the offices of a defense lobbying firm with close ties to Democratic Rep. John Murtha (Penn.), sources tell ABC News.
The FBI searched the Virginia headquarters of the PMA Group in November, according to the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. PMA was founded by former Murtha aide Paul Magliochetti and specializes in winning earmarked taxpayer funds for its clients.
Good government groups have long criticized Murtha's cozy relationship with a handful of lobbyists and defense firms, ties that see millions of dollars in government spending go out from Murtha's office, and hundreds of thousands in campaign donations come in. Murtha has said his earmarking has helped revive his economically depressed district.
PMA is the second company with close ties Murtha to be raided by federal agents recently. In January, agents from the FBI, the IRS and the Defense Criminal Investigative Service searched the office of Kuchera Industries and Kuchera Defense Systems, as well as the homes of the firms' founders. The companies reportedly have received over $100 million in earmarks, thanks to Murtha's efforts.

I don't want to agree with the left - I want to defeat the left. Their ideas are old. Obama is the master of wrapping old leftist ideas in new shiney wrapping paper. He is free to prove me wrong. I doubt he will.
If this stimulus spending works, and we can overcome the debt, and not burden our grandchildren - I will eat my shorts.

Not really.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

One of my strongest objections to the president's going out and shilling for this stimulus package is that he doesn't even know what's in it or how it's supposed to help.
He was asked about it today, and he never came close to giving an answer. It looked like he was trying really hard to think of something concrete he could say, but never managed to dredge anything up.

BREAKING NEWS: EXCLUSIVE: FBI Raided Lobbying Firm Connected to Murtha
The FBI raided the offices of a defense lobbying firm with close ties to Democratic Rep. John Murtha (Penn.), sources tell ABC News.
The FBI searched the Virginia headquarters of the PMA Group in November, according to the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. PMA was founded by former Murtha aide Paul Magliochetti and specializes in winning earmarked taxpayer funds for its clients.
Good government groups have long criticized Murtha's cozy relationship with a handful of lobbyists and defense firms, ties that see millions of dollars in government spending go out from Murtha's office, and hundreds of thousands in campaign donations come in. Murtha has said his earmarking has helped revive his economically depressed district.
PMA is the second company with close ties Murtha to be raided by federal agents recently. In January, agents from the FBI, the IRS and the Defense Criminal Investigative Service searched the office of Kuchera Industries and Kuchera Defense Systems, as well as the homes of the firms' founders. The companies reportedly have received over $100 million in earmarks, thanks to Murtha's efforts.
STOP SAYING EARMARKS. now that Obama has won - there are no more "earmarks".

On a related note.
The sludge in and around Chicago just keeps flowing. Tony Rezko could not be reached for comment..
The US Coast Guard is reporting that 6,000 gallons of “Oil Sludge” spilled into the Des Plaines River from a container at Caterpiller’s hydraulics plant in Illinois. It is estimated that the Caterpillar container spilled 65,000 gallons of the sludge while 6,000 made its way into the river. Feds closed down a three miles section of the river, which is a major industrial waterway southwest of Chicago. The river is closed to all commercial traffic while they attempt to clean up the spill.

I still want to know why he says that this is 90 percent private sector jobs that will be created?
Folks, I've worked for the government, federal and once state. If any money comes to an employer, that employer is in the least, a federal contractor.
That employer is bound by almost all the rules and regulations and procedures that a direct federal agency is under.
It's not like a private sector employer who can make and decide how he is going to run his business.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Getting any federal money for a service is like being a federal employee without all the good benefits.

In 1983 I built a timer system for our Cub Scout pack's pinewood derby track.
It was based around the (my) Apple II computer, and had an accuracy of 0.01 seconds.
MANY years later, a Scoutmaster asked me to help with their track and timer system. He told me "some guy had built it about 15 years earlier, and it broke". It turned out to be my system, and I gave him schematics and fixed it.
I should have taken out a patent.

My (probably unpopular) guess is that the American people will hang on the non-information given tonight, and Obama's ratings and the popularity of the bill will rise noticeably.
The stock market ... who knows? My guess is up after the bill passes.60 days from now, reality will set in, as the bill gets looked at closely.
For what it's worth, I've advocated centralized medical records for several years. I have a unique set of "issues". I do not, under any circumstances, advocate government-monitored procedures (or national health care of any sort).
Me neither. I'm all for practicality--but not at the expense of privacy.

re: #533 Viper123456
I'm glad you and your ilk have accelerated the process. 3 weeks in and you already have no shame in blaming just one side. An impressive display of accountability.
First, we've spent years listening to the mainstream media mock the previous president and promote the idea that America is always wrong. We see the idiot left blogs slaveringly wish horrible deaths on anybody who disagrees with them - and now one of those very same sicko blogs has been given legitimacy with presidental press credentials.
I respect the office of the president, and I pray that he will lead this country well - but so far he has shown no leadership.
Three weeks in, and "hope and change" is already "national catastrophe if we don't pass this pork-laden bill immediately." And he left it up to Congress to create the package - he still knows less about what's in it than I do.
As for accountability, why is Obama so desperately seeking a few token Republican votes when the bill could pass both houses without them? I suspect a plan to share the blame.

Navy frees stuck warship off coast of Honolulu
The Navy on Monday freed the $1 billion guided missile cruiser that had been stuck for more than three days since it ran aground close to the coast of Honolulu.
The USS Port Royal was pulled off a rock and sand shoal at around 2 a.m. after crews removed about 500 tons of water and 100 tons of anchors and other equipment to lighten the vessel, the Navy said in a statement.
The removal by a salvage ship and seven tug boats took about 40 minutes.
No one was injured during the recovery effort, said Rear Adm. Joe Walsh, the U.S. Pacific Fleet deputy commander.
The area was to be examined to determine if the ship leaked any fuel, said Coast Guard Capt. Barry Compagnoni.
The Port Royal was being towed to Naval Station Pearl Harbor for inspection.

Holy Fucking Shit!
U.S. Taxpayers Risk $9.7 Trillion on Bailout Programs (Update1)
Feb. 9 (Bloomberg) -- The stimulus package the U.S. Congress is completing would raise the government’s commitment to solving the financial crisis to $9.7 trillion, enough to pay off more than 90 percent of the nation’s home mortgages.
The Federal Reserve, Treasury Department and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have lent or spent almost $3 trillion over the past two years and pledged up to $5.7 trillion more. The Senate is to vote this week on an economic-stimulus measure of at least $780 billion. It would need to be reconciled with an $819 billion plan the House approved last month.
Only the stimulus bill to be approved this week, the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program passed four months ago and $168 billion in tax cuts and rebates enacted in 2008 have been voted on by lawmakers. The remaining $8 trillion is in lending programs and guarantees, almost all under the Fed and FDIC. Recipients’ names have not been disclosed.
“We’ve seen money go out the back door of this government unlike any time in the history of our country,” Senator Byron Dorgan, a North Dakota Democrat, said on the Senate floor Feb. 3. “Nobody knows what went out of the Federal Reserve Board, to whom and for what purpose. How much from the FDIC? How much from TARP? When? Why?”

Gateway Pundit's reaction to the speech:
The Narcissist Spaketh-- Obama Speaks to the Sheeple (Press)
President Barack Obama held his first primetime news conference tonight.
Obama says the stimulus is vital to avoid "catastrophe."The president contradicted himself several times, gave long-winded answers, and dodged questions. The media for the most part were his lapdogs tonight even though Obama claimed this was the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Jake Tapper and Major Garrett were two exceptions.
Obama ripped on his unpredictable VP Joe Biden during the news conference (see video at bottom of this post)
Bill O'Reilly said he was too long-winded and he lost the audience.
...Dear Leader won't like that. Chances are 70-30 he'll slam Bill at his next stop in Florida campaigning for his trillion dollar boondoggle.Michelle Malkin covered Obama's fear mongering tonight.
Obama contradicted himself several times.
He blamed the "failed policies of the last 8 years" for causing the crisis-- That's not true. Bush had nothing to do with this crisis but don't expect anyone in the media to confront him on this.Later in his "speech" (I don't have the transcript) Obama correctly blames the failed lending practices and banks that gave home loans to Americans without a down payment; to Americans who could not afford those loans as causing the crisis.
Funny... That puts more blame on Obama than Bush.
Not only did Obama train ACORN workers in his past, but like ACORN, Obama also worked against banks who denied mortgage loans to minorities and pushed banks to loosen credit requirements for lending.On the other hand, President Bush tried to rein in the GSE's.
President Bush called for reform of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 17 Times in 2008 alone...
The Democratic Congress ignored the warnings and threatened to filibuster.

Port Royal's props, sonar bulb damaged in grounding
The USS Port Royal sheared off the blades of its two propellers, damaged the sonar bulb that extends from its bow and left its anchors, anchor chains and other debris on the ocean floor during the nearly five days it was stuck on a rock and sand ledge just off Honolulu Airport’s Reef Runway, the Navy said today.
The $1 billion, guided missile cruiser sat at Pearl Harbor’s Mike 3 pier this afternoon as Navy divers ran a remotely operated vehicle underneath it looking for possible other damage.
The Port Royal had just spent four months in drydock when it ran aground in 17 to 22 feet of water Thursday night following its first day of sea trials.
It will return to drydock at the end of this week for repairs, said Rear Adm. Joseph A. Walsh, deputy commander and chief of staff of the Pacific Fleet.
USS Port Royal Commander Relieved of Duties
The commanding officer of the USS Port Royal has been temporarily relieved of his duties, four days after the missile cruiser ran aground offshore of the Honolulu Airport.
Captain John Carroll will be off that duty during the investigation to determine the cause of the grounding.
Carroll took command of the USS Port Royal last October.
/back to the drydock

Yet another Obama speech successfully avoided. Since there's not a damn thing I can legally do to stop him beyond the emails and phone calls to my congressmen and senators, I figure what the hell. Why risk throwing something at my tv for no reason. The only Obama speech I intend to watch will be his resignation. Hell, my spellchecker still tells me "Obama" is misspelled. How true.
I decided to listen to my first Obama speech tonight. I couldn't do it...I think I made it 15 mins into the speech and had to leave. I am with you, I will wait for the resignation speech. I tried to listen, but just couldn't.

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our President. The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Obama is a "post turtle." Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a "post turtle" was. The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a "post turtle". The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain. "You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of a dumb ass put him up there."

....it has gone over the heads of a vast generation of Roman Catholics who have no idea what it means: "Bishop Announces Plenary Indulgences."In recent months, dioceses around the world have been offering Catholics a spiritual benefit that fell out of favor decades ago — the indulgence, a sort of amnesty from punishment in the afterlife — and reminding them of the church's clout in mitigating the wages of sin.
....
You cannot buy one — the church outlawed the sale of indulgences in 1567 — but charitable contributions, combined with other acts, can help you earn one.

re: #682 The Shadow Do
First, why is centralized record keeping so important?
Second, if it is do you not think this should be a third party undertaking? If government is the keeper it seems to me that there will be nothing but political manipulation of the data, no?
I see 3 different "specialists" for 3 different problems. Explaining to any one doctor what has changed regarding the other two other problems is a bit of a challenge, and medications prescribed has more than once been a guess, and has involved delays and phone calls and records faxed back and forth.
My general practitioner needs to keep track of all 3 issues, and all 3 specialists need to refer back to the G.P. for "regular" health references. My G.P. carries around a notebook P.C. and records all the information he can think to ask. We both agree that it would be to everyone's advantage if the specialists could just enter the info into a 'common database', and all 4 could use the information to make a diagnosis, or scientific wild ass guess, which is usually the case.
There is absolutely no reason why the government would need to be involved in this at all. There should be a centralized database available, though, because that would take most of the initial guesswork out of things.
I can give you arguments for and against letting the government have full access to this. The way the government operates currently, most of my arguments would be against. If the government ever began operating the way they should (promoting the "general welfare"), I could give you arguments supporting access.

Obama ratchets up the rhetoric on stimulus plan
When open hand yields nothing, Obama shows GOP a clenched fist on stimulus bill
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama's soft-sell pitches to Republicans haven't gotten him very far on his economic stimulus plan, so he's resorting to a sharper tone that is at odds with his vow to make Washington less partisan.
Stopping just short of a take-it-or-leave-it stand, Obama has mocked the notion that a stimulus bill shouldn't include huge spending. He's also defended earmarks as inevitable in such a package. And he's pointedly reminded Republicans about who won the November election.
The heightened rhetoric reflects White House frustration that Obama's earlier efforts, which included high-profile visits to House and Senate Republicans last month, yielded not a single House GOP vote for the legislation. In the Senate, Obama and his allies were battling Friday for just a handful of Republican votes to avoid a bill-stopping filibuster.

Why do you make coat hangers? Don't mean to be nosy, it just sounds...odd?
I make wooden coat hangers all the time. That way I can make them the right size and have exactly the right curve across the top. With a well fitting hanger, the clothes look much better. Besides, I make the out of cherry and they look dynamite in the closet even with nothing on them.

Question: Thank you, Mr. President. Today, Senator Patrick Leahy announced that he wants to set up a truth and reconciliation committee to investigate the misdeeds of the Bush administration. He said that, before you turn the page, you have to read the page first.
Do you agree with such a proposal? And are you willing to rule out right here and now any prosecution of Bush administration officials?

Failing to act may lead to a catastrophe. So, what will acting in a grossly irresponsible and fiscally harmful manner do? Make it worse? That's what the CBO says. Yet, we're supposed to believe that the recession will get worse unless we not only go through with porkfest 2009, but TARP 2, the wrath of TARP, and a player to be named later.
That's at least $2 trillion in spending that Obama wants to unleash without one care what it does to the economy.
We have examples of what massive government spending and irresponsible policy have wrought. It's called Japan from the 1980s onwards. They've had a crummy economy for years on end because the government stuck its piehole where it didn't belong, and the private sector suffered horribly for it.
We're going to repeat that same mistake, except Obama hopes that his presense will change things. I've reported on such nonsense before - it's what socialists and Marxists say every time they get their hands on the engines of economy. They will change things and make them right, and all they succeed in doing is destroying economies and causing untold misery.
It's what happened in Zimbabwe. It's what is happening in Venezuela and a whole laundry list of countries around the world who suffered under the socialist delusions that this time - with the right people in charge - socialism will prevail.
We're slouching towards socialism here, and I don't like it one whit.

Do you get the feeling that future black candidates for US presidents are all going to have to start their campaigns with the tone of, "Sure, I'm black, but I promise I'll be nothing like 0bama . . ."
That was one of my objections to this idiot being PotUS in the first place! It's going to be that much harder to get Michael Steele, Alan Keyes--hell, even Magic Johnson (a Democrat who, sadly, endorsed the Buffoon--but was more qualified to run the country than said Obama was)--in short, to field any minority candidate for PotUS. [say what you will about Earvin, as he has numerous character flaws; this gent captained a basketball team and now runs a successful business.] Next opportunity that comes up for say, a Japanese-American to run for President (if the USA survives Obama), what will be said except "We tried to elect a minority when the country chose Obama, but he screwed things up..."?
Democrats had to have their First Black President: America needed Jackie Robinson; instead, we have...(insert lousy black American athlete here). We needed Michael Jordan, yet we got Dennis Rodman. We needed Halle Berry, but we got Oprah Winfrey.

Hey Hoops.
Barbra Eden was and I think still is beautiful.
Most of hollywood guys are itty bitty. As are a lot of 'rock stars'. The guys from Blue Oyster Cult were very short. As is the 'boss'. sly stallone is another very short man. My ex 5'10" was at at fight many years ago and said he could see over stallone's head (he was standing if front of him).

re: #876 The Shadow Do
Thanks! Private business creates this kind of file share at the drop of a hat. I agree that government has no legitimate role. Seems evident that insurance companies alone would have all the incentive they need to create such a thing. Is there some government impediment I wonder? Looks like another Lib wedge issue to me.
My G.P. told me that the "medical profession" was working on the concept, but the government keeps interfering, and nothing was happening as a result of the interference. It had to do with medical insurance companies, but I didn't really understand the fundamental issues. They were "legalspeak".
Sounds like that won't be a problem, now.

Oh, and this is sure to make for interesting conversation in NY. The Democrats are proposing to raise taxes on the wealthy in NYS. It's their version of the millionaire's tax, and the "rich" would see a massive hike in their income taxes.
A group of Senate Democrats plans to introduce a bill on Tuesday that would impose an income tax of 10.3 percent on the highest-earning New Yorkers, a rise of 3.45 percentage points, and increase taxes on all households that earn more than $250,000 a year.The plan, which supporters estimated could bring in up to $6 billion annually to the depleted state treasury, is one of several options Albany lawmakers are considering as an alternative to the reductions in social services and smaller, more focused tax increases that Gov. David A. Paterson has proposed.
State legislators and the governor are finding themselves under increasing pressure — from the state’s powerful labor unions and liberal groups in particular — to raise taxes on the wealthy.
Although an income tax increase on the state’s highest-earning residents passed the State Assembly last year, its fate in the Senate is less certain. Republicans, who controlled the chamber until January, blocked it last year.
These are the same folks whose revenues are sorely missing because of the financial crisis and meltdown on Wall Street, and whose bonus baby money ended up creating jobs all over the region, and who are now scrambling to make ends meet. So, instead of facilitating job creation, the Democrats are pushing to send the jobs out of the state for good.
Mind you that they're only looking to find ways to increase revenues - not a moment spend on reducing spending, which is how and why the states are in the mess they're in.

I had to look this up after hearing Hanity harping on it............
Austin, Texas, could use $886,000 to build a 36-hole "disc golf" course, for frisbee tossing. It would be "environmentally and financially sustainable." John Hrncir, government-relations officer, says the project list "was put together on very short notice," and "we are not going to submit anything that is questionable when we seek actual funding."
It seems there are currently only five frisbee golf courses in Austin.

You should try being a black woman. Everyone assumed that I was voting for Obama. Which is kinda racist in a way.
Hey - you should see me on a warm day in SF! I have one outfit in which I definitely pass as an earth-mother hippie. So I understand entirely.
Even my brother - who ought to know better! - thought I'd voted for Obama. Of course, that may have had something to do with my sheer fury with McCain over the amnesty bill.

Ian Anderson is one guy I always wanted to meet but never did. I love Jethro Tull. Back in the 70s I swear I can't even remember how many concerts I attended.
I was at a party and stood talking to some guy in a ballcap. Later my friend said what were you talking about with George Strait for so long. He11, I didn't recognize him in a ballcap and he was about my height (5'6"). Nice to talk to though.

Tends to want to turn into a walking sausage, so you really have to watch their eating.
They tend to nip, so you have to teach them that's a bad thing - my boy greets me with a ball in his mouth as nip prevention. They herd everything.
They're loving, but they don't listen worth a damn. They are cheerful, brave, and loyal, but obedience is not their strong suit.

re: #1051 Aviator
From what I read the ship had come out of dry dock and had just returned from sea trials. They were disembarking the visitors including a rear admiral to a small boat when they grounded.
they might have been anchoring out to disembark, if that is the case and the anchor slipped, maybe due to heavy currents ( sometimes bad in island areas) then he might get a bye, but if he was underway....BOHICA!

Can we have a little optimism?
As I am sitting here watching Obama try to sell his $800 billion dollar 'stimulus package', which is full of pork, I am thinking to myself "How about a little optimism, Mr. President?"
When Ronald Reagan was facing the financial crisis he inherited, the one thing he always carried in his message was one of optimism. Such as, "We can and will get through this" type of rhetoric.
Why are we not hearing this from Mr. Obama? As an average American, it makes me feel as if he has other motives to push this through, helping America not being one of them. Perhaps this is why the poll numbers are showing a drop in support for this 'spending' bill.
Of course, we all remember his campaign slogan of hope. Selling this package as a catastrophe certainly does not give me a feeling of hope. In fact, it gives me a feeling of panic, uncertainty and doom and gloom.
In these uncertain times, we need a leader that can reassure us that although times are tough now, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Again, I am not hearing this from Obama. He might as well sell this as "Pass this bill now, or be prepared to fall off the cliff."
Before he took office, I said I wouldn't bash him until I had something to link it with. Well, now I do. His first few weeks seems to be a testimony of things to come. He has been put to the test, so to speak, and has failed miserably. He is not the kind of leader we need right now or ever.
The honeymoon is over Barack, and although I can't speak for all Americans, I want a divorce!
Yours Truly,
J.P.

"This is another concern that I've had in some of the arguments that I'm hearing. When people suggest that, 'What a waste of money to make federal buildings more energy-efficient.' Why would that be a waste of money?
We're creating jobs immediately by retrofitting these buildings or weatherizing 2 million Americans' homes, as was called for in the package, so that right there creates economic stimulus."

Yes, natural response is to flip out and overreact and get in the car and drive out to the desert or Wyoming or something.
But then I realize how ridiculous/pathetic his arguments are, how much he's bloviating and all the "but I'm the president" posturing he's throwing out.

I was sitting watching this clown and my wife told me to shut up and calm down. She said I know you are right but I don't want you to have a heart attack! I truly believe this guy is the stupidest most ignorant person to ever hold the office of POTUS. He's gonna do this and we hafta do this - he comes across as a street thug moron. He does NOT exhibit any semblance of intelligence and when asked a question he never REALLY answers it - he pontificates on any and everything he could ever imagine. I was amazed to see how many times he could get digs in on W. I mean this guy really follows Saul Alinski's precepts to the letter. He is a good little socialist isn't he?

re: #1165 cg76
Sorry for the late response...had other things to attend to, like baby and husband and talking my mom off a ledge after she saw the speech and called me. Gotta say, I'm more amused than anything. Yes, natural response is to flip out and overreact and get in the car and drive out to the desert or Wyoming or something.
But then I realize how ridiculous/pathetic his arguments are, how much he's bloviating and all the "but I'm the president" posturing he's throwing out. I was expecting this in the first half of his administration sometime, but less than a month in? Wow. I figure the press can only smell blood for so long before they go into a feeding frenzy..
Next press conference he does, I'm popping popcorn.
The press will never smell blood of this guy - they are too much in the tank and they will NEVER admit they were wrong. They will keep defending this clown right up till their paper/network goes belly-up. They are losing their shirts more and more every day.

On average - (since the 1960's) the US creates 1.7 million jobs per year. So if we at least get to that number - will Obama steal the credit?

re: #244 CyanSnowHawk
That's a bit of a leap there. Electronic records to care rationing.
I'm more worried about the security of such records. The Gov't record on digital security is not reassuring.
You need to read the freaking bill: Under the Health care provision in the House bill (page 464) is a means test for treatments paid for by Medicare. Medicare will approve or reject treatment for the elderly by using a formula that divides the cost of the treatment by the number of years the patient is likely to benefit.
In other words, you or your parents can be deemed too old to benefit from treatment. Defenders of the system say that individuals benefit in younger years and sacrifice later. You now have the government deciding if you should live or die.
I'm sure this provision will not affect those in power, like the Senate and the House and the President and his Cabinet. I'm getting extremely tired of these dihimiKrats and The One already, and it ain't even a month in yet.
:::Phone your Senators and House Reps (there will be a House/Senate conference to iron out the differences) and give them a piece of your mind!

Computerized medical records are going to save Medical Care.
And to think I thought it was the Obama plan to merely deny any and all medical expenses.

IIRC, this was brought up before. Apparently the new deal is for Obama to tell the press corps who he will be calling on in advance for EACH SESSION. The reporters field propagandists know who will be called and probably have guidelines on what not to ask.
re: #1166 ChicagoJohn
Did anyone else notice that Obama seemed to be checking a list before he called on reporters?
-Or that (at least some) reporters had to read their questions off of cards?Whaddaya think?
Does the most transparent government ever have to pre-approve of the reporters and their questions?I took journalism. Honest, I don't know of any reporters who lost tract of what they wanted to say so easily that they had to read it off of a card.

At least President Bush acted presidential, even if his public speaking abilities were lacking.
BHO is un-Presidential in every conceivable way.

We aren't cut out to be socialists. We are the people who couldn't be constrained by Europe. We are the malcontents, idealists, speculators, dreamers, inventors, debtors and criminals who would not be chaine. We don't play well with others, we are brash, outlandish and cunning. Let us do what we do best Mr President, let us be Americans; Leave the socialism to Europe.
Exactly - We are the true "Mutants of the Monster"!
And, we have the US Constitution/Bill of Rights to prove it. Never fail to remind them, as DuhBama's Magical Mystery Tour bus runs off the road, down through the ravine and out into the Progressive, Socialist Wasteland of hope, change, Pork4hisfollowers, and lies.
PS: O's take (not enough stimulus) on Japan's lost decade would be labeled in elementary school as - a lie! Not one WH reporter called him out on this distortion, or his "historical revision" of FDR's economic failure record.
Pathetic, but now to be expected. Yes, brace yourselves, stay informed while you still can, and stock up on plenty of popcorn for the coming hit-parade of WH pressers where only The One - pontificates propaganda, as the wheels come off! "Words, just words!"

I absolutely doubt that he knows what he is saying, has said or will utter at any given time except of course the uhhhs, ummms and ahhhs he stammers, ad nausea. I suspect and fear, his mouth will continue to write checks neither his asp nor we 'inconsequentials' can cash.
