Word was leaking out about all the crap what is in this monstrosity and support was tanking. That’s why the rush. Couldn’t have the sheeple having a look at all the waste.
“President Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, let slip a valuable clue when he said that a crisis should not go to waste, that a crisis is an opportunity to do things that you could not do otherwise.
Think about the utter cynicism of that. During a crisis, a panicked public will let you get away with things you couldn’t get away with otherwise.
A corollary of that is that you had better act quickly while the crisis is at hand, without Congressional hearings or public debates about what you are doing. Above all, you must act before the economy begins to recover on its own.”
BUMP

Thanks for the ping jaz. Yes, he’s so right once again isn’t he. The “rush” was all about getting through their Socialist Programs before the economy righted itself, and before anyone could begin talking about that occuring. They made certain to keep talking over any common sense resolutions so nobody could be the wiser.
Sadly BHO has surrounded himself with people like Emanuel, yuck!
Exactly! They got it through before many woke up, I’m afraid it’s a disaster.
“Nothing in the amateurish way the current administration has begun suggests that they have mastered even the mechanics of governing”

I heard one of Levin’s guests describe some of their moves as “politically clumsy”.

“The last thing the administration can risk is delay that could allow the market to begin recovering on its own. That would undermine, if not destroy, a golden opportunity to restructure the American economy”
Yep.
That has been my tagline for quite sometime. I have been unable to verify that it was an exact quote.
You’re right on, I7.
If it wasn’t exact it seems it’s awful close.
Thomas Sowell really calls it as it is in this article. The American voters have put themselves into thrall to a ‘Beyond the Looking Glass’ government based on Leftist delusions.
"Not even the most Alice-in-Wonderland actions will arouse the suspicions of those who have what William James once called "the will to believe."
Or the "Go Ask Alice" actions.
Every one of those is definitely an Alice. :)
Obama looks high. But then he’s admitted to using illegal drugs.
The Obamoron and the Dems may be baskiing in the afterglow of a huge sexual act on the American people, but I wonder how they will react by mid-late summer when most of America realizes that the economy is still in the tank and that Porkzilla hasn’t changed a thing.
Unemployed Americans will probably still be unemployed and their numbers will still be growing as more businesses are forced to cut back and lay off.
This isn’t over by a long shot. IMO, the Obamanites will turn a deaf ear when the Dems blame everything on the ‘Pubbies because they’ll look at the makeup of the Congress and the WH and see them filled with Democrats. The Obamoron over-promised and will under-deliver. The idiot class that believes that Obama will pay their mortgage, buy their gas and give them a government issued credit card worth $3,000 or $6,000 expect him to deliver and, when he doesn’t, it won’t be pretty.
I agree and you make good points. I think it's going to get ugly and BHO isn't a good enough talker to convince people that doubt him, he convinced people before the election that were in love with him. He won't have that luxury later this year, IMO.
Your very close to what I was thinking too. Obama’s porker bill certainly makes it look like the dim’s think the economy will recover on it’s own because the porkulus sure doesn’t do much to help. If the economy doesn’t recover and IMO it won’t for a long time, it will look like the dim’s fiddled while Rome burned.
The Faithful are pathetic, and unfortunately, too numerous.
It’s clear how people are such sheep when one looks at all the big cities (black-Dem) and how they keep putting in the same garbage - with the “D” behind it - for decades, and nothing has improved. They are “faithful”, and don’t seem to realize nothing has changed while they complain yet vote Dem.
