President Obama is destroying the foundation’s of our economy one beam at a time.
Seconded!
...and every Congressman who voted for the S365 atrocity should too. They set forth the plan which was the final credit rating straw.
Perfect~
Seriously... he said on national TV just 4 mos prior there was “no” possibility of the downgrade we now have seen pass while Obummer scrambles to blame it on the Right somehow
Just send him a bill for the debt.
Mike Huckabee on Fox News (approximately 8:45 AM EST, 8/6/11) suggested Steve Forbes or even seemingly of more interest to him, Donald Trump as the replacement for Timothy Geithner.
I’ve heard disturbing reports that John Corzine (former NJ gov., Goldman alumni, huge 0bama donor)is being considered. That CANNOT be allowed to happen.
Of course, my pick, Paul Ryan,won’t be considered...at least not for 18 more very painful months.
If Geithner goes, the next confirmation process may take all the way to the next election. Timmy, with his criminak actions, got a pass...in these times, no one will agree on his replacement.
if he had any honor, he’d resign.
their best candidate ( not ours) would be Jaime Dimon at JPMorgan Chase
One thing is clear. Some fiscal responsibility will be imposed one way or the other. Its probably going to take removing Obama from office but it will happen.
Agreed, Corzine is a major Obama “bundler”... and all-round scum bag
Exactly, the markets will instill discipline if nothing else
It’s just the sane half of the country would like to limit the damage in attaining the necessary level of discipline, eh
Yea, I did hear about Corzine earlier.
I have heard Paul Ryan’s name thrown around for this position as well. Maybe Gov. Huckabee did not mention him knowing he would never, never EVER be appointed by Obama. Gov. Huckabee said in fact that no one he would want would be considered by Obama anyway.
I think Paul Ryan would be good too. I love the idea of Steve Forbes and have always wished he would have had a chance to be doing SOMETHING like that for our country. I have never forgotten his run at the presidency and was always so impressed by his financial common sense. Donald Trump, well that is such a new thought for me, but it sounds fascinating actually. I think The Don would do a wonderful job in that position.
Of course, Gov. Huckabee is right, Most likely NONE of those guys would make it on the Obama team. I would guess all of them would be FAR more honest than what Obama needs in that position (and yes, I said NEEDS.. as far as Obama’s involvement is concerned).
Its kind of why I’ve got mixed feelings on the whole debt ceiling vote. Nobody likes it, myself included but its time to stop bouncing the economy off the ground and nose dive it in so we can sort out the survivors and bury the dead.
Absolutely !!!
We HAD a balanced budget amendment ALREADY in place.
it was called a “debt ceiling”.
and Boehner threw it away, and gave Obama 2 trillion more!
Obama should have been forced to do this BEFORE he got another penny!:
“ and to submit a plan with his list of cuts to balance the budget this year, turn the economy around and put our people back to work. ”
Bachmann is the only one saying what i need to hear...
The problem is that it WILL take removing him from office to impose the fiscal responsibility. Then, the unwashed masses who live off the tax-payers’ largess will immediately be up in arms against the person who finally does the sane thing. I would imagine that even a number of Freepers who feel the extra pinch will do a turn-around and want the “good old days”...
"Destroying the foundation one beam at a time"???
The metaphors gotta make sense.
Hard to refudiate that...
