After being asked when the public should begin judging the success of the nearly $800 billion stimulus plan, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs answered, "I think we should begin to judge it now."

Let's take his advice.

The administration warned that if we failed to support a stimulus package, unemployment would hit a dire 9 percent by 2010. With the stimulus, unemployment, it claimed, would stay in the 8 percent range.

If there were real conservatives in the House and Senate, they would be on the floor every day calling BO’s porkulus bill a huge failure and calling attention to every lie he and the msm spread to get it passed. They need to start hanging this horrible economy around his scrawny neck, and compare the numbers now to the numbers in Oct. ‘08, when businesses began to realize that BO and his gaggle of Leftists would be running and ruining this country.
Cat got your tongue, ‘Pubbies?

This article was very good!

Loved this;

“Obama now urges Americans to be patient on the stimulus package. Yet at the same time, the president exhibits a decisive lack of patience as he sprints forward with generational tax increases, in both cap and trade policy and a trillion-dollar-plus health care “reform.” “

This is EXACTLY on the spot. He urges people with NO MONEY to be ‘patient’ and yet he is so INPATIENT that they Congress doesn’t even have time to READ the bills. And with the majority not caring what’s in it, they just vote their majority on through. Usually with a couple of moron Republicans.

The sad thing is that most in the congress who have been there nore than one term are bought and paid for. The GOP does not support conservatives, and those that are in DC, need that GOP cash.

When true conservatives do speak, you don’t see anyone rallying behind them, the rest of the GOP is silent. The only thing that can explain their silence is that they are just as corrupt as the dems and rocking the boat will bring them down.

Our Democratic Party dominated government is drilling holes in the bottom of the boat, and assuring us the water will drain out.

The "HOPE" Economy...

We HOPE we don't lose our jobs...

We HOPE that all of our 401K money survives...

We HOPE our children will be able to go to college....

We HOPE that we won't be TAXED into poverty...

We HOPE that the next elections eradicates the democrat majority status forever...

We HOPE someone soon finds the real birth certificate and ousts the Kenyan...

We HOPE that our children and future generations will not be saddled with this mindless debt...

We HOPE the media will stop calling Michelle Obama "glamerous"...

We HOPE that we are not attacked by all the countries commiebama has pissed off, or exposed his weak underbelly to...

We HOPE that our children will not be reading the Koran and speaking in tongues....

We HOPE that some American, somewhere, with a National presence will have the fortitude to tell it like it is where commiebama and his jackboots are concerned...

We HOPE our next generation of cars won't be battery powered, and we don't have to depend on windmills to keep our heart-lung machines working during surgery...

We HOPE the American People will soon let their feelings be known regarding the dismantling of the greatest country, and health care system the world has ever known...

And finally, we hope the "HOPE" is not all that America's future is pinned, because we cannot abide the "CHANGE".
