[verklaring]

Catastrophe? This bill is like punching holes in the bottom of the Titanic when it is all ready sinking.

[shankbear]

We have had catastrophe since Jan. 20, 2009. This Chicago thug bozo will cause more pain than any person in our history.

[Sarah Barracuda]

The Catastrophe already happened..twice..November 4th and January 20th

[Reagan69]

I see a catastrophe in you, BO.

[VA_Gentleman]

I see catastrophe WITH the stimulus plan.

[ridesthemiles]

Drop the Bill
Cut our taxes
Let the public and the economy adjust on it’s own.

Quit giving money to every 2-bit dictator in the world.
Quit supporting people who REFUSE to support themselves.
Kick the Katrina lay-abouts out of free housing and make them work at SOMETHING.

Those of us who have worked all of our lives and paid our taxes timely are sick to death of being told how EVIL WE are.

Today is Ronald Regan's B-Day. How fitting it would be to follow his footsteps out of the malaise of 1980

Or, more accurately:

"Obama is 'catastrophe' with stimulus plan."

[utahagen]

Obama is overplaying his hand (to put it mildly). This is a compressed version of what is (finally) happening with the Global Warming — excuse me: “Climate Change” — issue: hysterical rhetoric is waking people wake up to the possibility the assertion is baloney.

[alloysteel]

America is SO screwed....

I have suggested it before, and I shall offer this up again - balkanization may be the only way to preserve the American ideal of "land of the free, home of the brave".

What is now the "United States" could conceivably break up into several nations, not necessarily allies of each other.

The old Confederacy, "Redneckia"; Texas (which has a legitimate clame to independence); "Azlatan" (minus Texas); "Cascadia" in the Northwest; Alaska, which is well on the way to becoming independently wealthy; "Heartland", the greater part of the Great Plains, America's Ukraine; "Narnia", the old Rust Belt surrounding the Great Lakes; and "New Europe", the northeast quarter of the country that considers itself too good to dirty themselves with the consumption of carbon for energy.

[the invisib1e hand]

it’ll be a bigger catastrophe with it.

[aruanan]

it’ll be a bigger catastrophe with it.

What he's saying is "People, any way it goes, you're gonna get effed, so just lie back and let me have my way."

[Twinkie]

We are NOT stopping you, Mr. President. You and the Democrats can pass this Porkulus, spread the money around without us stupid Republicans. WHY are you hedging? WHY are you trying to force us to support something that would assure you and the Dhimmicrats immortal glory for decades to come? WHY would you even want to share the glory with us stupid Republicans?

These are the 10 Leading Economic Indicators from The Conference Board:

1. Average number of initial applications for unemployment insurance 2. Number of manufacturers’ new orders for consumer goods and materials 3. Speed of delivery of new merchandise to vendors from suppliers 4. Amount of new orders for capital goods unrelated to defense 5. Amount of new building permits for residential buildings 6. The S&P 500 stock index 7. Inflation-adjusted money supply (M2) 8. Spread between long and short interest rates (the yield curve) 9. Consumer sentiment 10. Average weekly hours worked by manufacturing workers

Any stimulus package and/or Government practices that don’t drive these items in 2009 won’t lead us out of the recession in 2009.

[ArrogantBustard]

Bustard sees a catastrophe if this piece of dreck does get passed.

What kind of leader sees failure at every turn.
‘No hope’ Obama is no leader, just a clanging gong
looking and hoping for American despair to justify
his socialist agenda.
