Gee, let's vote in a left of left liberal to complement the nincompoops in Congress; you know, that Democratic majority of nincompoops we elected in in 2006. Worst congress ever (approval ratings much lower than Bush and a historic Gallup low) and an inexperienced candidate - and one who was part of that congress; yeah, that'll work.
I think it's time for a recall; not just of the President but of congress too.
Whatever the current dopes in congress are pushing, our President, if he cared for the average American, would DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE!
Instead of talking down the economy, try to pump it up1. Everything that this current lot does, sends the DJA into another tailspin. If you're heading over the falls, turn around and paddle faster in the OPPOSITE direction. Idiots.
Say what you want about Dubya, but at least he held the ship together. This current lot is bailing us out by poking holes in the hull. Frankly, I am surprised they are smart enough to even do that but I guess if you try to shoot yourself in the foot long enough, eventually you'll hit it.
Maybe under Dubya people didn't have confidence in his Presidency but at least there was confidence in business. Now, there is no confidence in business and no confidence in the presidency. Businesses at least usually find ways to make money. Government only looks for ways to spend money and nothing could be truer today.
As of now, the Bush years seemed pretty darn good. Things didn't start to slide until the 110th Congress took office and the major meltdowns didn't really happen until the polls started indicating that BHO's lead over McCain was insurmountable for McCain and thus became imminent that BHO would win the election. And once he did, things got even worse2.
And let's not forget the media that began cheering for a recession after the 2004 election. Repeat a lie often enough and it does become truth. Treasonous bastards.
Hopefully, I should have time to recoup these losses. Unfortunately, many don't.
1 No sooner than I type this, Ben Bernanke says that the recession may end this year and stocks get an upwards bounce; good, even if it's a small step. Think positive. Let's see of BHO negates this by talking down the economy again tonight during his address.
2Frankly, I think this meltdown was too well timed to be the result people who can't pay their mortgages. The sh*t hit the fan after McCain got the bump from the Palin announcement.
I think some bigwig liberals with lots of money (George Soros types) had a plan in place in case the Republican nominee was leading or rising in the polls 8-10 weeks out from election day. Call me crazy and maybe I'm wrong but we'll know for sure in perhaps 10 years or so. We could know sooner if anyone in the media cared to investigate this odd coincidence but don't hold your breath. I'm not convinced that this isn't an October surprise gone awry or, perhaps worse, a carefully crafted plan to force drastic socialist-type policies into our lives. An October surprise is supposed to be something with some truthful elements spun the right way that it taints the character or questions the ability of the candidate, not something that wrecks the economy and puts people's jobs and retirement savings in jeopardy. This time, someone went way too far.
The bulk of the recovery plan is dedicated to tax relief, so I don't see how it is quote "left of left liberal".
Things should pan out OK, whether the stimulus bill was overall a good idea or not. (I look forward to being able to evaluate arguments in favor of and against the stimulus bill with more economic knowledge and historical hindsight in a few years.) If the US is in any serious trouble at all in the long run, it's most likely not because of a likely brief recession which will happen in any national economy.
That being said, I also really look forward to getting out of AmeriKKKa in a similar time frame.

One of my main concerns is about 20 years from now when I hit "retirement" (by retirement I mean collecting dividends my from investments. I don't plan on retiring unless some ailment prevents me from or limits me working) age. Since many Americans aren't saving for retirement and S.S. will likely be drained and defunct by then (my expectations from S.S. are that I won't see a dime and I am planning based on that), I know those of us who plan and save will end up footing the bill for them. And that's just for day-to-day living and not including the next round of healthcare problems. Today's retirees are in much better shape and took much better care of their bodies than most of today's 40 and unders do.

The timing was too perfect - enough time out from the election to give the Obama cheerleaders in the media time to drill the BDS-aspect of this into our heads and for the Democrats to work this bonus into their Bush ruined the country rhetoric. Too well timed. Too perfect of a storm. Maybe it was bound to happen sooner or later but why eight weeks from a presidential election? The economy was humming along fine. The DJIA was holding solid gains from the post-9/11 dips. Gasoline prices soar but we seem to be adjusting. Then, suddenly, the crap hits the fan and a lot of it. Just sounds too fishy for me. Like I said, if the media cared to do any investigative work - instead of focusing on gossip about Sarah Palin's wardrobe or her daughter's pregnancy, well when they weren't spending time waving their Obama banners and pom-poms - maybe we'd have some idea as to why the events unfolded at such a perfect time as they did and who, if anyone, actually may have had a hand in this and started some kind of domino effect. Was this a mere coincidence? Perhaps. But, boy is it fishy.
