Obama '08?

It is really early yet though for President Obama's devoted disciples to suck it up and admit they goofed.

Would McCain have done better? Who knows?

But I bet we'll have folks running in 2010 and 2012 who will.

Obama says stimulus plan to kick in later this year
By Tom Doggett Tom Doggett 1 hr 24 mins ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) " President Barack Obama said Saturday more time was needed for his $787 billion stimulus package to work, predicting the spending would have a bigger impact on the economy later this year.

In an advanced text of his weekly radio speech, Obama said the stimulus plan approved by Congress and signed into law in mid-February "was not designed to work in four months -- it was designed to work over two years."

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said it was too soon to decide whether the U.S. economy needed the help of a second-round of government stimulus to recover from recession.

"I don't think that's a judgment we need to make now, can't really make it now prudently, responsibly," he said in a taped interview with CNN that will air Sunday.

According to a transcript provided by CNN, Geithner said the "biggest thrust" of the stimulus package signed into law earlier this year would take effect in the second half of the year.

That's what makes their positions a big joke; they assume they know how Obama will fare as our president, and can predict that those who run in the next presidential elections will be better qualified.

Is that some kind of MAC disease (of the brain)? LOL

WASHINGTON (AP) " CIA Director Leon Panetta has terminated a "very serious" covert program the spy agency kept secret from Congress for eight years, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, a House Intelligence subcommittee chairwoman, said Friday.

Schakowsky is pressing for an immediate committee investigation of the classified program, which has not been described publicly. Rep. Silvestre Reyes, D-Texas, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, has said he is considering an investigation.

"The program is a very, very serious program and certainly deserved a serious debate at the time and through the years," Schakowsky told The Associated Press in an interview. "But now it's over."

Democrats revealed late Tuesday that CIA Director Leon Panetta had informed members of the House Intelligence Committee on June 24 that the spy agency had been withholding important information about a secret intelligence program begun after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Schakowsky described Panetta as "stunned" that he had not been informed of the program until nearly five months into his tenure as director.

Panetta had learned of the program only the day before informing the lawmakers, according to a U.S. intelligence official. The official spoke on condition of anonymity Friday because he was not authorized to discuss the program publicly....

It's so fogged up now, I wonder how she's able to still "read" it. LOL

Would this be an example of the executive branch legislating where they have no such right to do so?

It is really early yet though for President Obama's devoted disciples to suck it up and admit they goofed. Some never will because they are too blindly partisan to care that he isn't delivering as advertised and some are too uninformed to realize it

They're dumb alright; their next favorite is Sarah Palin. Dumb and dumber seems to describe conservatives as the party of "no" and no brains.

Have they offered any solutions to any of our current problems? If they have, I want to hear about it/them.

Did I leave anything out?
