[Lady GOP]

Congress passed and Obama signed into law a record $787 billion mix of tax cuts, job-creating projects and aid to struggling states.

The president pledged up to $275 billion in federal aid to help stem a tidal wave of home foreclosures.

The Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve announced financial-rescue steps that could send up to $2 trillion coursing through the economy.

In all, the plans would raise the federal portion of the U.S. economy to some 31 percent, more than twice the level after eight years of FDR’s historic New Deal spending.

“Governor Jim Douglas (Montpelier, VT)
Governor Douglas has been serving the people of Vermont for more than thirty years. Over the course of his career, Governor Douglas, a Republican, has received more votes than any other person in Vermont’s history, a testament to his appeal to voters of all political persuasions. In his current role as the vice chairman of the National Governors Association, Governor Douglas played a pivotal role in garnering early support for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.”

Republican???? Uh......I don’t think so.....(unless in sheep’s clothing)...

[freekitty]

I know what he’s going to say. I am your leader; your only leader. Do as I say.

[Lady GOP]

We told you....What did people think they were getting when they voted for him ?

[Wolfstar]

Yawn inducing.

So much that even hedgehogs are yawning.

[jonathonandjennifer]

We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before.

Rebuild? He talks like it's WWII and he's Winston Churchill.

[Califreak]

SSDD.

[Califreak]

I think he meant the US government.

[Lady GOP]

A bunch of meaningless drivel. A lot of words without any meaning. Saying one thing and doing another. Driving the economy off the cliff.

All Ive seen is a lot of high priced dinners and partying and spending EXTREME on the part of liberals.

[Lady GOP]

[MichiganConservative]

Congress is partying these days. I used to think I was just joking about them spending our tax money on hookers and blow. I guess it is true.

[SumProVita]

They certainly live the high life while USING the poor, the disadvantaged and those who want some freebies.

(Yes, I’m generalizing to an extent.)

[MindBender26]

For those of you unaccustomed to “DC Speak,” let me translate:

“But while our economy may be weakened and our confidence shaken; though we are living through difficult and uncertain times, tonight I want every American to know this: We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before.”

They certainly live the high life while USING the poor, the disadvantaged and those who want some freebies.

Just like the nomenklatura and the commissars.

[AmusedBystander]

I won dammit, now get busy spending that trillion dollars at the rate of over $31,000 per Second.

[SumProVita]

You know your history. ;-))
