"This plan must be designed in a new way -- we can't just fall into the old Washington habit of throwing money at the problem," Obama said, calling for "strategic investments," "vigorous oversight and strict accountability" and "fiscal responsibility."

economic stimulus? "strategic investments," "vigorous oversight and strict accountability" and "fiscal responsibility."

Where have we heard that before?

American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan aka ARRP

$775 Billion worth, if the Dems get their way.

“Well, I have obviously made a decision to make sure the economy doesn’t collapse. I’ve abandoned free market principles to save the free market system.”

At last! A stimulus package from Washington is going to solve all our problems; cause if there’s one thing Bush hasn’t tried it’s throwing money at the economy.

...his plan was to create three million jobs -- 80 percent them in the private sector.

Why on earth do we need 600,000 more government employees???

Strategic Investments=Centralized Planning

double renewable energy production and renovate public buildings

Sounds like a sure-fire way to solve a HUGE problem... increase battery use and make-work. Why didn't Bush think of that?

I realize this question is rather superficial, given the subject matter, but I’ll try it anyway. How in God’s name (or not) does this man have the nerve to first invent a “president-elect” stamp and then to have a “radio address.” I think in Jewish terms it’s called chutzpah and in street terms it’s just plain balls. But then I’m biased. I can’t stand the guy.

Who is he pretending to be now, Vanna White?

[KitJ]

“Weekly radio address”?
“new economic plan”?

I thought he said there was only one president at a time...
(when asked about Gaza...)

Chutzpah? No. Arrogance.

exactly what my little math bullshit detector (MBD) said as soon as I saw 3 million jobs next to 80% in the private sector. Amazing how that little chip works....

Sadly, America died on Nov 5 2008. All that remains is her burial,unless the jackals eat her bones first.
