The Action Americans Need (Barack barf)
washingtonpost.com ^ | Feb. 5, 2009 | Barack Obama

Posted on 02/04/2009 10:32:15 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY

By now, it's clear to everyone that we have inherited an economic crisis as deep and dire as any since the days of the Great Depression. Millions of jobs that Americans relied on just a year ago are gone; millions more of the nest eggs families worked so hard to build have vanished. People everywhere are worried about what tomorrow will bring.

What Americans expect from Washington is action that matches the urgency they feel in their daily lives -- action that's swift, bold and wise enough for us to climb out of this crisis.

Because each day we wait to begin the work of turning our economy around, more people lose their jobs, their savings and their homes. And if nothing is done, this recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits. Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse.

The sitting president does an op-ed in the Washington Post? Can’t ever remember President Bush getting that kind of media cooperation.

The action Americans need is to round up all the government officials who are tax cheats and prosecute them.
then we go after the rest of the corrupt government officials.

Baloney. When Jimmy Carter was President, we had double-digit unemployment, double-digit inflation, gas lines, and interest rates at 20%. It has not got that bad, yet. I say yet, because, with the RAT nitwits running the government, they will likely make things worse.

For God’s sake people, go to the WaPo link and post your comments there. It’s almost certain that Obama’s minions will be taking note.

State your case as eloquently and sensibly as possible and leave out the cheapshots but PLEASE make your opinions heard. We are standing at the brink of the abyss and he is trying to drag us in.

but first the politicians would have to appropriate billions of dollars in funding by omnibus legislation to build special five star "politician prisons" in order to incarcerate themselves, most of us are too busy paying bills and taxes to get involved in a lynch mob

The writer is president of the United States.

The writer is a scatterbrained narcissist who has personality disorders, a sense of inadequacy, low self-esteem, immature, and craves attention...

...and I, hope he fails!

I think with more people losing their jobs that we will indeed have time for lynch mobs..

We have a prison about 8 miles from me that is officially closed, but still “open” because there is some prison industry still operating there. Look up the “Church Farm” Jefferson City Mo dept of corrections.

We thought it had been closed when they opened a new prison about 3 years ago. guess not. Hmmm

this recession might linger for years.

It will if we further bankrupt the country by spending and borrowing. The Chinese will not buy our bonds. If we print more money the currency will be debased. Go back to Hawaii and go swimming, it would better serve the country.

Good!

As you may have noticed, the expressed opinions there are no longer overwhelmingly dominated by the Obamabots.

Obama, we don’t need another 1929. Get rid of the stimulous bill.

ANY president would get that kind of cooperation. Usually, presidents do not do that because of their position.

He’s on the run.
