The Rush for Obama’s Signature
Throughout the last election and into his new administration, President Obama’s race has been the preoccupation of much of the country. Now with that issue blessedly behind us, the more important race for his signature in the early days of his administration is on. At issue is whether he will grow in office to leadership that adopts an expansive understanding of the basis for America’s extraordinary success before he makes decisions reflecting a more negative view of this country. In the headlong race to make him commit to a direction very early in his administration, the signs are not promising.
President Obama arrives in office with extraordinary expectations from his own side of the aisle, a side he is predisposed to associate himself with. Ideologues of varying degrees of socialism want sweeping changes in wealth redistribution, socialized medicine, and expansive government. Historical Democratic self-interest groups want payback through the advancement of their interests in union membership, environmental restrictions, and funding for all manner of social activism. Congressional Democrats, blocked for years from the unrestrained spending for which they are so well known, want the floodgates opened. Opened wide and immediately. From these groups we see a trillion-dollar, pork-laden spending bill, pending rules that would force unions on unwilling workers, and a major shift to government taking ownership positions in public companies. And all this must be done within a month of taking office.
Could it be that the backers know the office itself quickly tempers the zeal of its occupants? Is that why there is this race to “get things done” on so many liberal fronts? It is a race to get President Obama’s signature in place before alternate realities can intrude. Decisions made now will be very hard to undo so one must hope the president considers his decisions well and acts with caution. He has, however, very limited legislative and no executive experience, so he must rely on personal experience and judgment to guide his decisions. In this there is cause for concern.
On the one hand, President Obama’s life has been a series of vignettes that occupies but one small corner of the American reality. A youth in Hawaii; the emotion and heat of urban college years amplified with components of race, drugs, and activism; community organizer in Chicago; and being shepherded into a brief stint in the mud of Illinois politics hardly exposed him to the reality of the other 300 million Americans going about everyday life. All this reasonably shapes the world as he sees it, but it also provides the foundation for a significantly distorted view of the American experience. Can he accept the possibility that his perspective of America and the world is profoundly shaped by the narrow and highly ideological group with whom he has spent his life? Let’s hope so.
“…President Obama’s race has been the preoccupation of much of the country. Now with that issue blessedly behind us…”
President Obama’s race is not “blessedly behind us.” And it is his own fault. He freely employed the race card during the presidential campaign. The man is a race hustler similar to the less smooth Al Sharpton. We can, for instance, take it for granted that Obama has not cut his ties to Acorn. Has he come out against affirmative action policies? Of course not. That’s all the proof you need to clearly show that he’s going to stick it good and hard to America’s white citizens.
Barack Obama is confident that he can continue to get away with his racist behavior. After all, where are the criminal indictments resulting from his presidential campaign’s disabling of its website’s security features, which allowed millions of dollars in illegal contributions? He’s getting away with this nonsense only because of his dark skin. White Republicans would have been arrested the day after the election. No, we cannot overlook race—because the Obama administration will not let us.
Obambi is in the deep end without any water wings. Chicago, we know where your idiot is.
Did he take notes on all Americans, or only on those who turned out for his speeches and sent money in to his campaign?
This is a naive article. People keep hoping he’ll come to his senses and move to the center. He won’t, dummies! He is an extremist. He has an agenda. The rush to sign has to with getting the Left’s agenda passed before the honeymoon with the public ends.
It’s already unraveling, as people get disenchanted with the pork-a-thon. So, he goes out to preach again, running down the economy in order to re-enchant the public. Only by maintaining the sense of crisis can they keep the sheeple from bleating. Baa-ah-ah. Baah-ah-ah.
Hidden deep inside the “stimulus” bill is an evil plan to nationalize the health care of every cirizen, as well as other schemes that would never pass inspection on their own.
That you are giving Obama any benefit of doubt as to his true intentions is ridiculously naive on your part. It is quite obvious that you’ve never “held, run for, or worked for any candidate or party,” because you don’t seem to know much.
You ought to stop writing and start reading more.
While I agree with Mr. Thomson to an extent that the issue of race has hardly been left behind, I think it paranoid in the extreme to suggest POTUS is “… going to stick it good and hard to America’s white citizens.”
I also agree with both Mr. Pope and Cog99 that POTUS is in way over his head. Residing in a southern suburb of Chicago, I would prefer not have POTUS returned to us, but believe it to be much preferable to watching him lead the “moochers and looters” reduce the benefit of being a U.S. citizen.
Change we can believe in?
So far:
Same old pork if not more so
Iranians spit in his face
India told him to back off
Europe won’t put anymore into Afghanistan
Russia laughed at his offers
Nothing new just a lurch leftward.
The “Campaigner in Chief”, our first “EEO Appointment” has all white people working for Him, so when things start going bad (or even worse), He will claim RACISM.And the First Skank is coaching Him on this too.
The PROBLEMS are just starting. We The People shall regret this Coronation forever.
There are more than one Trojan Horses in that bill. It’s perfectly logical (and evil) that Obama and the Dems would try to obstruct closer scrutiny.
Transparency – another blatant Obama lie.
Go for it, Mr. Obama. In fact, make it 2 trillion. No wait: 10 trillion!
The way I see it, the bigger the better. When the economy finally collapses, I want it to be crystal clear who is responsible for our collective pain.
If we agree with all these handouts/bailouts.
We just spent all the money your kids could have ever borrowed for college.
All the money you could have ever saved in a retirement 401k.
All the money for all the one home mortgages in the USA.
All the money your employer could have ever paid into social security, or the retirement you might have drawn-
Even Baby Boomers.
10% of the entire national economy of 100 trillion dollars gone.
Our futures are being spent by politicians that don’t/won’t pay their taxes or balance their own checkbooks.
Handouts to states that now don’t have to worry about reigning in their spending pork projects.
Health care, social services and voting rights for 20-30 million illegal aliens.
Obama was right,
it really is a damn Catastrophe.
“Will the realization come to him that it is people of all kinds who not only built these things but also own them? That a culture of personal economic freedom provided the means for them to do so? That people of all races, nationalities, and abilities benefited from this freedom, if not at all times equally?”
Barack Obama received 96% of the black vote. He enjoyed over 67% of the Hispanic vote. Asians: 63%
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/04/exit.polls/
Those voting demographics speak volumes. As long as minorities buy into social engineering and nanny security, liberalism will run over free enterprise and personal responsibility every time.
Mr. Pope:
“The responsibilities of leadership have a way of broadening a president’s views. Democrats want to act before that happens.”
There’s a trick that a car dealer will use on you when the Closer is there to finalize the sale.
He hands you your copy of the agreement.
He then delivers his closing schtick in his rapid-fire manner…this is all boilerplate and mumbo-jumbo and details like the terms of the percentage rate and schedule of payments and the price of the car and the obligation to submit any disputes to a dealer-selected Arbitator and the opt-out for service agreement and your acknowledgement that you have read and understand all the terms and language of the agreement and the current date, time, temperature and humidity and the price of tea in China and the fees you can expect to pay in addition to the bill for any service under the maintenance agreement and your child’s social security number and…and…and…
As your eyes begin to glaze over, he attempts to hand you over a pen, and deliberately drops it, making sure that it lands closer to you than to him.
Being a good-natured schmuck and a “team player” and all that,(and probably a little glad at the interruption of all this stressful but boring crap), you reach down and pick up the pen. It’s human nature.
Now you’ve got the sales contract in one hand and a pen in the other.
And lickety-split, he’ll be RIGHT THERE, directing you where to initial and where to sign…
Congratulations, sucker! You’ve just bought yourself a jalopy.

I paraphrase then candidate Barack Obama “we will make reparations in word and in deed”. Where do you think the ‘reparations’ are going to come from? The very fact HE SAID IT means your “extreme paranoia” comment is flavored with blindness or denial. It is reasonable to watch President Obama for signs of racist bigotry and tribal favoritism based on his comments about whites, his comments on giving things to blacks, and his choice of a racist church to marry and raise his family in.
Treating people equally while disregarding skin color is not a suicide pact. It is reasonable to defend yourself from people who wish to do you injury because of your skin color.
Now, here’s an example of chutzpah: The Republicans didn’t get their act together enough to challenge Obama for not being constitutionally qualified to be President as an Article 2 “natural born citizen” so Obama’s White House steals the census from the Commerce Department against the specific instructions of the constitution itself — “actual enumeration” under Article 1.
As your eyes begin to glaze over
Congratulations, sucker! You’ve just bought yourself a jalopy.
That caused me to inhale a Cheerio.
My dad was a great used car salesman.
Hilarious but true,
The Obamabots have been glazed, signed, sealed and delivered.
And Nancy Pesky is grinning like a rabid squirrel.
I don’t believe that the huge stimulus bill is loaded with pork because of an agenda. My take is that it’s the only way this group of lawmakers can think of to get money circulating. And that’s even more depressing to me, anyway.
It’s the same old ideas. Can anyone believe we’re fighting over head start yet again?
This is as good as it gets, I’m afraid.
[...]Will President Obama act before it broadens him by providing the perspective that comes with such responsibility?[...]
It’s not going to take 6 months. He has already shown his fangs when faced with conservative viewpoints. Anyone else notice how it’s getting harder for him to contain his anger during press conferences? Did anyone tell him he was the President of ALL of the United States or did he just assume it was for only the liberal wing-nut citizens?
HERE ARE ONL TWO EXAMPLES WHY THIS IS THE LARGEST AND WORST BILL EVER IN AMERICAN .. NOW OUR SOCIALIST HISTORY .
Obama is on record demanding the Big 3 Auto Makers by 2012 have 42-45 Mile a hour Green Vehicles with Zero CO2 emissions .
Meaning their size and engines would have to be very very small and weight less than 1500-1600 Lb.s . Auto Engineers all tell us . Ok ?
The problem is ….. No one wants them(too dangerous ) and the big 3 Auto Makers lose money every time they sell a dangerous family children hauling Tin Can on wheels .
Ironically Obama said last night he wanted to help the RV industry that is totally in the Dumps with hundreds of thousands out of work and his solution is to throw Hundreds of Billion dollars into it . Sound great ? Maybe not in reality .
Here is what he should have been ask Night by a air head reporter but was not .
A simple common sense pair of questions .
Mr President You are against drilling for our own Oil that killed the RV Markets
($ 4.00-4.40)
a gallon gas to start with and Liberals in Congress want a extra 50 cent a gallon tax on gas that is now 37 % of the price per gallon . Not to mention a carbon credit charge for ‘ unnecessary driving .
Mr President ….. It takes a ‘Powerful Gas using SUV or a Large 4 Wheel drive Pick up ..
Gas Gosling Truck to haul RV.s . You are on record wanting to “”Stop “” being made .
Next Question : Your for Electric Cars but your totally against Coal factories
that supply 52 % of all our Electric energy in America …. So How will Millions of Electric Cars WITHIN 10 Years run if we stop using Coal our largest and cheapest resource for Electric energy ?
His answer to both questions would have been worthless but would sound great and Harvard well educated . Feel better ?
Not only do they live among us This one is President and Nancy Pelosi is the 3 rd most powerful person in the world !
Sam
See the Video .
The 2012 Pelosi GTxi SS/RT Sport Edition on The America Thinker .
The car of the future brought to you by … Congress?
So called RePub . A. Spectator of Penn …… said he had not read the long , long Bill but it needed lots of hearing ………….BUT HE VOTED FOR IT BLINDLY AS DID ALL BUT 3 CONSERVATIVES ….GOD SAVE US !
“I think it paranoid in the extreme to suggest POTUS is “… going to stick it good and hard to America’s white citizens.”
The politically correct “elites” are united in their belief that white people are a cancer on this Earth. It dominates our educational and cultural institutions. Only those whites who attended our so-called better universities are given something of a pass. Race relations are going to dramatically worsen during the Obama era. On a gut level, if not even consciously—he indeed has every intention to stick it good and hard to America’s white citizens especially if they are male.
This bill is the culmination of everything the Communists have worked for over the last 40 years. They have complete control of the federal government, the mainstream news media, and the public school systems. This bill is designed to entrench them in power until capitalism(their term) can be squashed and a one party system can be established. That way, the Central planners in Washington get to decide what is good for you and me and it will be the same even though it can’t possibly suit either of us. Mr Pope, Obama is one of these committed zealots, so I hardly think the Presidency will change him.
Since government has never invented anything useful to civilization nor produced anything for a profit, long lines for crumbs will be all that they will be eventually providing. I can only hope that I am too old to see this eventuality. Good luck to all the saps who have bought into this.
Obama said last night in his answer to the first press question that he didn’t say the economic crisis could become irreversible. He denied he said it, but his denial is an untruth.
“”Obama says inaction could make crisis irreversible
By Klaus Marre
Posted: 01/08/09 11:54 AM [ET]
President-elect Obama on Thursday said only the government can bring the nation’s economy out of its slump and urged quick action on his stimulus plan before the crisis becomes irreversible.
“We should have an open and honest discussion about this recovery plan in the days ahead, but I urge Congress to move as quickly as possible on behalf of the American people,” Obama said in a speech at George Mason University in Virginia. “For every day we wait or point fingers or drag our feet, more Americans will lose their jobs. More families will lose their savings. More dreams will be deferred and denied. And our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse.””
The real situation is far, far worse. With this bill, Obama and the majority of Democrats in Congress are sinking our nation into a political crisis that we may not be able to reverse.
Once I did my research about Obama over a year ago, I had him pegged: Red Diaper Baby, with some pragmatic fine-tuning down through the years. He has his eyes wide open and he knows exactly what the agenda is. He approves of it. Rahm Emanuel and Nancy Pelosi are tight allies, so you know what’s coming.
Anyone who thought otherwise is a simpleton.
The “Stimulus” Bill should be defeated simply for the reason it severely limits debate on its articles. “His Emptiness”, and his lackeys, are trying to shove it through so there will be no debate, because debate would educate everyone on its intended purposes; Political posturing and purchasing future constituents and voting blocks. It’s ACORN on steroids with legal backing.
Last night Obama seemed really, really intent on getting his “recovery package” through slam dunk. His argument for the morality of the massive spending bill…hey, no earmarks in this bill! sounded a little lame, especially since some of the pork could easily qualify as barely concealed earmarks.
It looks like he’s rushing to look “presidential” at this point in time & isn’t allowing time for an on the job learning curve to kick in. It looks like Michelle and her husband’s view of an America badly in need of “change” still holds the day.
According to Sen. James Imoff the Bill adds 7 % to actual Jobs ….. The Govt. GEO and OBM (NONE BIAS) says 1 % of GDP ….. Which is obviously ….. MEANINGLESS .
The Heritage Foundation and Wall Street Journal says THE BILL adds 12-13 % to Jobs or (nothing ).
Divide 2-3 Million Temp contract Jobsat best into 831 Billion dollars and you have the greatest $$$$$ Hoax ever on America or since AL Gore said the World will burn up by Year 2000 !
SAID back IN1978 ….
We have just had 10 years of ”Cooler ” than average temps ……. Obama believes in Global warming as well ….. enough said .
This article explains why they were in such a rush to get this bill passed before we realized what they were doing.
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601039&refer=columnist_mccaughey&sid=aLzfDxfbwhzs
They are as much as telling our parents and grandparents to learn to live with pain and just hurry up and die.
This policy is nothing new. Prior to November 4, Obama and company urged people to cast early ballots. It was simply because their votes would be locked up in case the ‘marks’ got wise to Obama’s agenda. This pattern continues. Now, it’s get this bill passed before the unwashed multitudes get wise to the wizard’s tricks. Obama himself admitted that the bill is not perfect, so he is obviously aware of problems, but he is not doing anything to get rid of pork.
My thinking alines with ReConUSMC, sure it’s a hoax, but why not give it a try, after all he pulled the wool over 54% of the electorate the first tuesday of last nov. Also, nobody has put a time line to this gadget, i understand like 90%+ of the bill does not even go into effect until 2010 and 2011, but we have to do it today or we’re doomed, please. For desert we a gov’t health czar in it as well, to “monitor” our health care choices and costs, nice, and off course he has not even been in office thirty days, four years from now figures to look sadly alot different. Change is here.
I think that I will continue to walk on the treadmill as it goes round and round because I am not smart enough to get off. I can’t rap my mind around that much money, which would make each citizen in the United States a billionaire or millionaire or zillionaire, I don’t know. Piles of people at a stop sign and no one seems to know which direction to go in. A stern President pretending that we are lemmings and he is pretending to be a President who he is trying to stop us from going over a cliff, and at the same time he is pretending to steer us through the field of litter that President Bush left behind, and pretending that he knew all along that Afghanistan would be his problem and not what he told us; that it would be Iraq. A President pretending that he would be busy fixing the failed Government of President Bush and now pretending that it was really the failed private sector he would be saving.
He’s a good orater in a controlled situation and if that keeps us on the treadmill than I guess he will succeed.

Madam in all due respect Your test for being a winner is highly flawed ,
Many in Hollywood ,Rev Wright , Lenin , Hitler , Jim Jones were Great Orators in ”Controlled ” Situations .
Obama’s knowledge of even basic Economics was learned by his close Friend a Marxist law and Economics professor at HARVARD that is on his team now .
Where our Economy and Country is headed …. is everything but “Controlled Situations “!
Socialism has never ”Fixed ” any Economic ”Situation ” ever in any Couny but it has made many far worse off .
One last Time …… Profits turn over in all Private Cos .. Govt is not about “Profits ”and redistributes “”others ” wealth with Lots of red tape ….. so it is never feed enough or fixes anything in the long run .
Now go feed Growing big Govt that never gets off the MO MONEY TREADMILL …
Obama is going to be the MOST DAMAGING president we’ve ever had and that saying something considering we’ve had FDR and Jimmy Carter.
ReConUSMC: I didn’t vote for him because he was a good orator, and I didn’t not vote for him because he will usher in socialism. I didn’t vote for him because to me what he called the weakness of President Bush was what I thought of as his strength, and what he said needed to change I thought didn’t. I also think that there were many Conservatives at the feeding trough along with the Liberals and there were many Conservatives that stayed at home when it was time to feed the voting machine. If you mean go feed the government by paying taxes well…. I didn’t think I had a choice. If you mean to imply that Big Government is my wish, then your wrong, but what I have seen in the private business sector isn’t impressive either, by that I mean the conduct of Big Business. If you think they have your best interest in mind continue to feed them. With all due respect. Sir.

I was President of Sealy (Posturepedia ) Of Canada in Toronto for 9 Years of Living Hell even thought I made Millions of Dollars there . Buy Why was I so unhappy ? Health care was horrible (we will have here soon ) …Unions… Strikes ..Lawyers .. LAYER AFTER LAYER OF GOVT. BUREAUCRACIES ..HUGE TAXES … RED TAPE … Countless regulations Pemits ,Linc. that made doing business there impossible .
In 1990 We had 31 FURNITURE Plants in around around Toronto … Today there are only 5 .
“Socialism ” Madam “”Socialism ” … America is headed by Obama quicker there than You can imagine here as well since I know own how Govt , Business and Industry works in both countries . I also ran a hugh Funiture Co in High Point NC as well named Gable Ind … My own CO New Creations of Miss. not to mention I am a internationally known Sofa designer and Fabric Colorist .
If you think Business and Govt. is screwed up here now … You have seen nothing yet with his Socialist Governed quick move .
Change …You liked what Obama said ?
You obviously have never ran or owned a business and know little about the real World .
The “Campaigner in Chief” is engaging in Economic Terrorism. And saying that he has the only cure!
Did anyone else read the Drudge Report and notice the healthcare boondoggle that has snuck into the bill? If you’re close to being a senior citizen…I’d start taking better care of myself if I were you. Looks like they’re going to stop taking “excessive measures” to get you well if the new bill passes as is. God help us all.
I’m sorry I thought USMC stood for United States Marine Corp, didn’t know it stood for Upholsterer Sofa Material Colorist.
Boo Hoo, waaaa, leave me alone in my make pretend world. I don’t like your world or your future world.
Obviously. Sir.
I have already been told by a priest of the Obama cult that it might take another $3 trillion, at a minimum, more to get what they want done. When I asked why not shoot for $10 trillion there was no response. How will democrats spend $1 trillion this year and not replicate that expense, or spend more, next year to keep that pyramid scheme going? get used to seeing one of these patronage bills ranging in the trillion to two trillion more each year. and they will blame Bush and claim it is to help the economy. We are witnessing the complete and utter take over of government by one party. America as we know it is gone.
“First skank?” What is your basis for such an infantile statement? I’m embarrassed to share political views–or any other for that matter–with such a moron as would write that. If I saw you at a party I’d turn my back on you just as quickly as I would on Al Sharpton. But, hey, thanks for bringing the conversation to 10 year old insecure boy level.
Obama is no good. He’s a total lightweight except for one thing: he wanted more than anyone to “win” the Presidency. He is not interested in actually “being” President.
Worse than Obama to the nth degree are all the people who voted for him. Their action just about proves that Americans are a minority in America, that the dream is over. Tyranny and selfishness won. We lost.
George Bush may turn out to have been the last American President. It seems to be all over but for the fat lady singing. Perhaps a last, slim hope is that the children (those few who made it to term anyway) rebel against the parents. Or maybe the Mexicans. They may end up saving America. Who knows.
One thing is certain: “Obama”, the man and the phenomenon, is clearly an end to a certain America.
…the healthcare boondoggle that has snuck into the bill?
Yes, a link to a Bloomberg article. The Porkulus, reportedly makes provision for… “One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective.”
Which, if accurate, take the current practice of insurance companies making medical decisions to a whole new level.

Obama has never been a moderate …
the rush for his signature is to try and hide the contents of this bill from the public, pure and simple … there is no chance in hell of Obama not signing whatever comes out of this if it has goodies for Unions and welfare leeches …
Who will win the race for the mind and ‘hand’ of the new President? I fear that the only race in town was won at the counting of the electoral vote.
“President Obama arrives in office with extraordinary expectations from his own side of the aisle, a side he is predisposed to associate himself with.”
Any association is not made by a new man seeking a comfort zone as he acclimates to his new and strange surroundings. President “O” brings with him a lifetime of carefully crafted ideals that can now be implemented into reality. One only needs to consider his history as a political entity to see a clear pattern of thought and conduct that is now in a position to be implimented in and on an unwitting and unwilling nation. Perhaps a better phrase would have been; ” and that side is predisposed to associate themselves with him at all cost”.
“…the more important race for his signature in the early days of his administration is on.” If there is a race it would seem to be one of political hacks racing to curry the favor and eventual benefits of the new Presidents favor and his “Changes” now being instituted.
By the end of the first 2 years and the elections I fear that the “changes” will have become a catastrophic condition in the health of our nation requiring major surgical efforts to eliminate, until then the race for position in the New America will go on.
There’s a reason they are trying to jam this abomination through — it is not a stimulus package, it’s patronage, pure and simple. The reason things are held back until 2012 is to spend, spend, spend to get the President re-elected:
http://www.beforeitsnews.com/node/283
#34 LynnS – I can’t decide from your post if you supported Obama or not. Your use of negatives and double-negatives along with your sentence structure leaves me perplexed. When your writing became less jumbled, I think you made a good point or two.
I don’t think many conservatives stayed home this past election. Gov. Palin energized them. I think there simply exist less conservatives in this coiuntry. We have become a minority, indeed.
As for Big Business, you are right. They have behaved badly. They decided that making money was easier to do by buying Congresscritters. They were right. It was great for their cash flow and personal bonusses, but it created no new wealth, and the bubble popped. But remember this, the CEO’s of those companies vote Democrat. They contribute to the Democrats 4 times as much as to Republicans. Sec. Paulson is a Democrat, and Bush foolishly trusted him. Big Business used to back Republicans, but when they turned Robber Baron, they switched to Democrat. These guys were educated at Ivy league schools, liberal bastions.
As for conservatives feeding at the trough, there are indeed some, but I distinctly remember a bunch of them voting against the first bailout. They voted against this bill, too. Last year, I believe there were 143 conservatives in the House, about only 25% of Congress. I think that’s reflective of society at large. The Libs have multiplied, and Conservatives, sadly, are dying out.
“going to stick it good and hard to America’s white citizens.” in the mix will be 4%black 33% Hispanic and 37%Asian, about all the ones that didn’t vote for him. when he gets done grinding everyone for their last dollar he isn’t going to care what color you are, because its going to be red, as newsweek put it “We are all SOCIALIST now.” i think the barter system will make a big comeback. watch out for the revenoo’rs
Too … 47. Marc Malone:
You read Lyn S. much like I did as well . One suspects She is Indoctrinated into a touch of Progressive thinking meaning, caring , Touching , Opera , Feeling , Emotions and Graphics shows . She seems to find comfort in Obama empty words but they sound great ?
One also suspects she is quite limited in Economic understanding or working in Area’s of life that would have made her Obama Buyer bewear . She obviously doesn’t hear him quote Marx and Lien word for Word or Saul Alinsky’s rules for racial Socialist …Example ” Quote Obama …. You grow thew economy from the Bottom up ? Insane !

So Jeff, what you’re saying is:
“If only the Little Father knew!”
Hey, worked for Stalin.
“President Obama’s personal history gave him little exposure to the broad, non-racial economic America that beats steadily day after day.” —– What the hell is “broad, non-racial”??..Let’s stop being cute and state “White America”…It’s too bad that people spend so much time trying to find a “box” to put this guy in (“Liberal”,”radical”,”Socialist”,”Centrist”,”extremist”, etc)..How about letting it play out?..He’s going to get this thing passed. Elections have consequences! The GOP would be best served by getting a consistent message. By the way, please tell Sen Ensign there’s nothing “Conservative” about the GOVERNMENT CONTROLLING MORTGAGE RATES and demanding “transparancy” from the Federal reserve!! Stop obsessing about Obama and define what the GOP wants to be. Get a platform on Healthcare and energy (something more broad than “drill baby drill”)…Stop being the referee and Get IN the game!
My prediction is that obama’s views will broaden about as much as nancy pelosi’s did when she became Bloviator of the House.
52. CapitalistForChange: Is a Phony ! You fool no one !
What he is saying is ” Socialist for Change ” . There is nothing about Obama and letting this ”Play out “helps Capitalism … duh . In Fact it is a War on Capitalism even a Fool can clearly see …
In fact Obama is seeing ”Color ” and “Race” since 31 pieces of this new bill are about race and color with huge entitlements . Like Acorn , Abortion , ACLU , Illegals rights and more for housing , Food stamps , in a Bill to help the economy ? B/S !
It is about Big Govt getting FAR BIGGER OVER NIGHT meaning in area’s of our Lives once forbidden by our Fore Fathers .
We have three Use-Less branched of Govt. now put in my Jimmy Carter
Hundreds of Billions of dollars later and 231, 000 employees have done nothing for America like “”DEPT OF ENERGY ” !
Obama has added 4 new Div. of Govt. so far and has kept Jimmy Carters 3 use less ones .
Wise UP Lefty !
