Obama '08?

Did you really write this, Spendi?

I certainly did and I stand by it.

What happens after you "stand by it?" LOL

I repeat it if necessary. Isolationism is not the way forward and nor is it US policy.

Fair enough, but I'm sure you'd admit that many of your postings have a large measure of silly, and it seems that it is fully intended.

Looking at the Rep clowns, Obama being a one-term pres is strictly wishful thinking. Many good things will be coming along in the near future.

Who's talking about "isolationism?" The economies of the world is forever co-mingled; isolationism only happens to countries with bad leadership.

So, would you kindly quit playing coy, and tell us what the chapters say about fraternization, and why you even think it applied to the subject of foreign policy?

So I don't suppose just giving them a tax break would be too simple? They probably have ideas of giving small businesses help as a way to bribe them or blackmail them, or essentially help in exchange for loyalty or government control of their business. Its only a guess, but probably a good one, based upon how Obama's mind works.

Yeah, and I recall the legislation had to be signed that day or that weekend, it was an emergency. Why? Why, if it has done almost nothing so far?

Democrats accused Bush of "rushing to war." Note this was after they approved the war, and after years upon years of cat and mouse with Hussein and many U.N. resolutions. Now the Dems are trying to rush health care reform down our collective throats in a few weeks or months? Why? Over 200 years without it, and all of a sudden Obama care has to be done now, right now? The Dems are acting like a bunch of spoiled children, they must have something right now. Obama was wrong on the economy, so why would anyone take his word on health care, or anything for that matter? He has no experience with anything he is doing now, none, before he became president. Why would anyone listen to him as if he is an expert on anything? He supposedly organized Chicago, but the neighborhoods he organized are still living in the same old run down housing projects.

Grow up, Democrats, lets shine the light of day on what all you are trying to do in Congress. Or does that make your legislation stall out because people begin to understand the negative stuff. I think we need a cooling off period, shelve the junk legislation Obama is ramming down our throats, like about a year or two, then lets see if people think they are needed.

Interestingly, this is exactly how I and just about everyone on this site feel about you. You've been wrong about almost everything, yet you want people to take you seriously. We already had a moron who thought just like you running the country, and look at the mess we're in now. When will conservatives stop letting idiots like you be their spokespeople? Maybe when that happens, people will listen to them again. The best thing you could ever do for your party and your country is to just go away, you paranoid simpleton.

It has done "something," but your ignorance overwhelms the whole issue. I've even posted an article that says most of the stimulus plan will begin working during the second half of this year. Your brain missed that very revealing article, because your brain is calcified (brain dead).

Those "somethings" include the slowdown in the loss of jobs and home foreclosures. They are very important to American citizens. Only conservatives and MACs don't see the evidence that's common knowledge to people who read and understand what they read.

Okie and other Reps endlessly attack Obama spending, which is to get us out of a deep economic hole. However, I don't recall them saying a word during the time that the last three Rep presidents increased our national debt from under a trillion to over $11 trillion. The hypocrisy is stunning.

It's not only "stunning," but these same jokers have already concluded that Obama's presidency is already a failure after six months (okie said Obama failed several months ago). They should be teaching political science in the schools they emerged from; dumb and dumber begets the same.

And I've pointed this out several times....do you find it at all hypocritical when you bitched and moaned about Bush's deficit spending...yet seem to give Obama a free pass.

It is, you know.

Who's giving Obama a "free pass?"

There's a huge difference between Bush's deficit spending, and Obama's deficit spending. You might want to educate yourself about it.

It's hypocritical if you think all big spending is bad, it's not if you think big spending on war is not the same as big spending on economic stimulus.

I, for one, think Obama is being too conservative with the economic stimulus. I think he should have spent much more. That doesn't mean I have to approve of Bush's war spending.

The only difference is that you and I agree with the programs that Obama is paying for more than we agree with the programs that Bush wanted.

THAT is the only difference. Even if you exclude the stimulus spending, Obama is planning on vastly exceeding Bush's deficit spending. ESPECIALLY if you consider it as a % of GDP (given the recession).

For the sake of this argument, let's exclude the stimulus spending and focus on the comparisons that can be made between Obama's 'normal' budget and Bush's.



We've already determined that you (and most others) and I will not agree on the correct course of action regarding economic stimulus.

Agreed!
