Politico ^ | 01-23-2009 | JONATHAN MARTIN & CAROL E. LEE

Have any of the other ‘stimulus’ packages done anything to stop the free fall?

So what do those on the right, who’ve been drinking Obama’s “bipartisanship” and “centrist” kool-aid think about this one? I really would like to know.

McCain: “No need to get snippy. Plenty of us are looking forward to bending over for you, sir. And, I’ll do my best to make the ones who won’t play ball sorry.”

__________

That’s not even the point of the “bailout’s.” They could care less what happens to the economy — it even helps him if the crisis deepen’s. He get’s to blame Bush... The goal is POWER. All this new government regulation, these programs and strings attached $$ give Washington is CONTROL. THAT’s what they’re after.

You could email paulson, and ask, I'm sure he will tell you all those executive bonuses helped with the yacht payments.

No, Hussein, you, the DNC propaganda wing (AKA the 'mainstream' media) and the rest of the nuts at ACORN cheated, lied, and bullshitted your way into the Oval Orifice, but you did not 'win' anything on an even playing field. In fact, you shouldn't have even been on the field to begin with. And we're working diligently on that mistake. Enjoy the party you crashed while you can.

Ok barry you won. Can we now see your birth certificate? Such arrogance. The next 4 years are going to be awfully hard to take.

We are where we are precisely because he did not say that!

This guy is a joke, a joke on us. The really bad part is the GOP dopes think having a meeting wherein the president says I won is a good thing because he was open enough to point that out. What he was telling those dopes is hit the road. In fact, what he probably told them to do was something that I did not think was anatomically possible.

This will be a long painful ride and whether we survive it as a free solvent capitalistic country is clearly a long shot.

‘I won’

Very true. However, the GOP needs to differentiate itself from the Dem policies, at least on a selective basis.

The GOPers should have replied: “Yes, you did. And the failure of this package and all its political fallout will be on your head. We’ve had our fill of crap sandwiches.”
