re: #157 Freelance
I just realized what bugs me the most about Obama…
Every President up until now, has looked Americans in the eye when he speaks to them on TV. Obama’s head whips from left to right as he reads from the teleprompters, and NOT ONCE does he look into the camera (thereby looking Americans in the eye).
I find this to be VERY annoying. If he is only going to appear to be talking to the people assembled in front of him, why does he insist on being broadcast on EVERY channel?
Just wait until he’s ALL we see on every channel, all the time…

“we stand to lose $1 trillion this year, and another trillion next year.”
Well, yes. If we take that much out every year to pay the interest on the money you want to spend on your “stimulus” that won’t kick in for at least two years, Barry.
He must thing we’re all as stupid- or crooked- as he is.
He wants a “bipartisan effort across party lines.”
So did Ramsay MacDonald, with his National Government. Translated into English, it means “I want everyone else to buy in so that when it is exposed for the Ponzi scheme it is, I can throw them under the bus and pretend I didn’t do it.”

The question that needs to be asked:
“Mr. President - we have had numerous recessions throughout our history and all of them ended in a relatively short amount of time without massive government intervention - except one. The great depression lasted 10 years despite government attempts to “stimulate the economy”. Why is it that you think the results will somehow be different this time?”

He’s not totally wrong. There is a huge economic crisis, and I think the government SHOULD do something about it.
The problem is that his sensible ideas are mixed with so much leftist nonsense, it’s had to distinguish what’s reasonable and what’s crap.

I don’t have to watch this. It isn’t news.
I already know he’s not going to say a word about the 23,000+ US troops now caught in a rapidly closing trap deep behind enemy lines.
When that fact finally penetrates the empty cranial cavities of the MSM’s victims, the Big 0 will promptly blame it all on W.
Yet, it was W’s policies in Afghanistan that kept that trap from closing for over six years.
Remember those Predator air strikes on Talib/al-Q leadership inside Pakistan? Remember when the last one took place? It was approved by W.
Now free of those air strikes the enemy is out in broad daylight, operating in well armed and well organized combat units, routing Pakistani regulars and strangling the Afghan theaters Main Supply Route through Pakistan.

WHAT THE FUCK DO MEDICAL RECORDS HAVE TO DO WITH STIMULATING THE ECONOMY? ? /?
At Rush Limbaugh’s site, read the transcript from today, titled: ” The March To Socialized Medicine Starts in Obama’s Porkulus Bill”.
Rush has the agenda pegged to a T, and we - especially any of us older types with eventually fatal illnesses, are going to be totally screwed. Got COPD and osteoporosis, for example? Under the One’s caring plan, you won’t be entitled to bone-building meds for the osteoporosis: waste of money, since the COPD prognosis will cancel out treatment for other problems - kind of “no pre-existing conditions covered”, but the socialism no-treatment-allowed will be that excuse, on steroids.
And they’re using this bill to stinking sneak socialized medicine in through the back door. If people knew it was in there, it would go the way of Hillary’s attempt - but Obama is the ultimate stealth, sneaking, alinski-ite, and Rush seems to be the only one with a voice who’s aware of it.
