All of the curiously stodgy comments, coming out of the camps that were anti-Obama to begin with, sound weak, forlorn, and with an agenda that doesn’t care if the USA unites or not.
Sorry folks. You have to stay on the honeymoon longer than this to make any appearance that you were willing to honor the marriage in the first place.
Obama has to blast changes out. His agenda is not really any more destabilizing than Bush’s. There are so few that advocate for the Hoover approach to Depression that we might as well call the hanging back and not paying anyone obsolete — yet the frontrunners of the GOP are racing to make those arguments and pretend they have credibility.
The lubricant of cash needs to be injected in the stiffening sockets and joints of the financial system. We may very well need to go through a large bout of inflation before we recover. When we recover there will be more pain and headaches than we’ve seen since the 80′s or 50′s. The painful recovery will likely last longer than either of those two periods. So what is the Right going to do about it? Go sulk in a corner and wait for failure? Then they lose my respect.
Better to come up with more inviting counter plans to Obama’s. Convince the populace that there are better ways and get them executed. But don’t sit around like a vulture and call yourself an eagle!!
Does anyone think that Hannity, Limbaugh, Bortz look good as opposition? Heck no! They just proved that they have no effect or a negative effect on their own political interests. With a massive radio audience, they still could not pull this election over to McCain. Call them ImPotentates, call them shriners with a mic. But don’t let them sit around and do the vulture dance for the next few years — absolutely nothing will be gained by the GOP for that type of work.
GWB tried to keep the terrorists away with almost a trillion $$. He might have succeeded, but we could have used that trillion in other places. I supported him, but now in order for my country to win, I need the new President to keep the terrorists away with much less.
We are going to have to do everything with much less. The conservatives are supposed to be good at this. But they aren’t bringing their “A Game” to the field yet.
