I think it’s too early to judge the person.give him a chance, the year is not over yet

I’ll bet Captain Smith had people saying similar things about him… right up ’till his ship, the Titanic, went down.

world of signs–I am sure Obama & Co. would be thrilled by such touching naivete as yours–”I’m sure his plan will benefit everyone,” indeed–and, in fact, are counting on this attitude among many citizens to delay–until it is too late–any effective reaction to his Blitzkrieg against the Constitution, Democracy, the Capitalist system and our Economy, as he frog marches us all towards Socialism at the best, Fascism at the worst; my bet is on Fascism, with the “One” playing the role of Il Duce.

i think it’s too early to judge the person.give him a chance, the year is not over yet. and i really would like him to succeed, because i am sure that his plan will benefit everyone.

Occam – usually when a new word shows up, it’s marketing. “Pragmatic” is positive spin for unprincipled. It’s bug as feature. It’s a little more positive than “expedient”, and a lot more positive than “corrupt”.

@130. The Historian: And just when you thought Biden might be running out of steam... ...he doubles down! Biden and the cast of the screw-ups who infest the new cabinet have pulled back the curtain to reveal a black hole presently occupying the space previously reserved for the POTUS' good judgment. Inept doesn't even begin to cover it.

JOE BIDEN SHOULD BE A LIFETIME, NOT A HEARTBEAT, AWAY FROM THE PRESIDENCY
This guy is a national liability.

As far as “avoiding” the consequences of spending trillions of dollars, we’ve got a pretty good example of that from the past three GOP presidents. You can delay the consequences, but you can’t avoid them. Furthermore, the previous administration’s record on preventing terrorism is pretty dismal. The worst terror attack ever on US soil is not a great selling point for GOP anti-terror policies. Obama’s competence exceeds that of his predecessor, and unlike Bush, Obama actually understands what the oath of office means. Our Constitution needs this kind of President.–David S (#126)

David S, you have made some incredulous statements. President Obama’s so-called “stimulus” is more than the previous 43 Presidents of the United States COMBINED! President Obama has no fiscal restraint. In fact, he’s far worse.

Furthermore, President Obama has a contradiction problem. For example, he lectures the people about spending money they don’t have, yet President Obama & the Democrats can spend money the United States of America does not have with the “stimulus” & the budget??? That’s just one contradiction.

- ...I think I’ll leave others the pleasure of flaying you... Where would poor lemming David S be without the "previous administration" to lie about, eh? Oh wait - I think I see here why he'd rather deflect than talk about BHO's fascistic policies, which are presently trampling the Constitution he promised to protect in ways not dreamed of since FDR's mostly unconstitutional New Deal.
