title should read 'major millstone' instead, like a millstone around this nation's neck in a frothing sea of orchestrated financial turmoil and disinformation.

I’m sure he does.

He is right. It is a milestone major kine. On the Highway to Hell!

[screaminsunshine]

“save” government jobs that is.

Zero is small. The enemy who elected him is large. You can't get to Zero, you can get to your liberal family and friends. What are you going to do?

If it’s a “major milestone”, why is it going to take years to work and, according to “Rimshot” Biden, there is a 30% chance that it won’t work?

[sofaman]

A major milestone ... if one defines a milestone as criminal irresponsibility.

I wonder if this is what the electorate had in mind when they voted for "change"? A bill that no-one has had the chance to read, rammed through Congress.

This bill needs to hung around the Democrat's neck like an albatross.

[Mike Darancette]

Make that millstone; around the neck of productive Americans.

[csmusaret]

I read Biden’s remark to mean even if it works it will only be 30% effective. Of course my reading of it is influenced by my opinion of Joe E Biden.

B.O. STINKS!

“Obama on Saturday hailed a 787-billion-dollar economic stimulus plan passed by Congress as “a major milestone”

Yeah, but other milestones in our history include the firing on fort Sumter, Pearl Harbor, and 9/11.

[allmost]

Every word of it.

According to Webster, a milestone is a significant point in a development, and what might that development be? Could it be Obama now knows Republicans can't prevent him from looting the national treasury any time he wants?

[Ezekiel]

Obama expressed confidence that the plan "will save or create more than 3.5 million jobs over the next two years, ignite spending by business and consumers alike, and lay a new foundation for our lasting economic growth and prosperity."

Daniel 8:11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the tamid was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

This whole concept of "debt shall make you free" is so whacked that I've got to wonder if the tamid (the perpetual thing) is something simple and obvious (axiomatic), like... the truth.

Psalms 40:11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually [tamid] preserve me.

Daniel 8:12 And an host was given him against the tamid by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

v. 11 the place of his sanctuary was cast down
v. 12 it cast down the truth to the ground

The powers of darkness are disguising שקר (shaqar, to lie) as its lookalike שקד (shaqad, to be vigilant, alert, to be studious, to persevere).

Hosea 4:1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

Obozo wouldn’t know a milestone if it hit him in the head.....
