What’d you expect ? The guy couldn’t manage a Dairy Queen, let alone the country’s affairs.
If Obama’s highest priority is a short term stimulus package, why is he supporting infrastructure as the stimulus? Infrastructure spending takes years to have an effect. Oh, I know. Infrastructure spending must be done on ‘prevailing wage’, ie, union scale contracts. The unions love infrastructure.
And he has a plan to make it even worse. His spending plan will send this country into default. Most people know that when you have less money coming in than you have going out that the only rational way to fix that problem is to cut expenses. Instead he is going to try to continue at hyper speed the process began by Bush and Paulson. He is going to run this country into the ground in only the way a true socialist can. Well he is going to find opposition like no other when he tries to nationalize health care, when he tries to spend trillions more and raises taxes on the very businesses that are hurting so he can transfer private sector jobs to the government sector. That is what his scheme is about, it is about making everyone more dependent on him.
Just setting expectations... that’s all. It’s a win-win for him.
Your tellin me that Obama didn’t really have a magic wand???? whoa#######
Well DUUHHH.... I mean, he's elected President, right?
But why not? He is the one who will bring change.
Unfortunately, the only change we'll see will be continued lay offs and downsizing due to the fact companies are preparing for Obama’s tax increases.
Hey lefties who can't stay away from Free Republic, you got what you wanted. Now take notes and remember what we warned everyone about because those very issues are already taking place, and Obama hasn't taken the oath on the Bible(?) yet.
Once again lefties, I would like to personally thank you for putting us in a situation that will take years to clean up once the American people wake up and the kool aid wears off.

How long before we hear that Americans won’t do these jobs either?
Dick Morris was right - the Presidency wasn’t worth winning this election cycle.
Conspiracy Theory Rant! Every four years there is a downturn in the economy for the Presidential Election and that’s just how things are. The other thing is that all economies go through cycles and this was a fragile time with both coinciding at this election.
But the final straw was the Democrats conspired with the Saudis to run oil prices through the roof and crash our economy. All of this was done to blame the Republicans by convincing the people that they are the only ones who own oil stock and control it completely. Blame the Republicans for your $4.50 gas prices! That influenced the economy then the election and has now caused a recession that they thought they could recall with $1.35 gas prices. I was wrong about one thing, I predicted that gas would be $2.00 a gallon after the election to stabilize the economy and to bring it back up for “The One” to start out with. Well it’s down to $1.35 and still isn’t stable............
I thought the “Green Industry” was the backbone to our manufacturing?
Hey wait! What about all the Free Stuff? Now he’s offering Blood, Sweat and Tears (and not the band). WTF!
I’ve been getting a good laugh out of WCBS 88 in NY. They have taken to explaining how “complex” the “new” economy is. This economy is so new only Obozo has ever faced it. They have played clips of Dems and Dem apologists guessing that it may take “6 years” to turn it around.
Barry also said today “The days of pork are over”
I say, that sounds like something a muslim would say.
The Marxist Onada has discovered that stuffing this genie of a bad economy the demrats have created back into the lamp is out of his control. Soros and all those demrat CEOs who sabotaged both the American and World economies can no longer control what’s happening.
With all the jibberish that’s passing as financial reporting these days individual investors are making their own decisions. These decisions are driven by the election of America’s first Marxist president. Specifically, people like me are concerned about how to protect their money assets from a president who has clearly stated that success in accumulating almost any amount of money will be punished through taxation. The Marxist Onada plans to steal (redistribute) my hard earned money and hand it out to people who have not earned it, contribute nothing that is visible for their own welfare and (for the most part) lead disfunctional lives.
I foresee a point in time not too far off when our Marxist government will, for all practical purposes, control the stock market. His already stated desire for the government to take over management of IRAs is only the first step. Moreover, if one chooses not to participate in the government controlled stock market one will pay a significant withdrawl tax.
So, if you’re gonna do something to protect yourself from your avaricious Marxist government you’d better do it before it’s too late.
He ran on a rainbow postered mantra of Change, and change we can believe in, making our country great, all high hopes and expectations of great things to come (cue sappy music). Now, he’s racing, even from Nov 5th, to hurry and warn us, constantly urging us to lower our expectations. Worse before it gets better, long term, almost like he’s already campaigning for re-election now, so he can ‘finish’ his great work in a second term. All talk, where’s the substance, the plan? (I know, it’s coming...)
When shall we see the seas part?
