1—Obumble will never admit failure. 2—the course will not be changed (witness the calls for ANOTHER “stimulus”.)

Simply.

There will be no recovery until Obozo is out of office.

New sign/slogan/t-shirt that nails it:

The Surge Worked

The Stimulus Failed

I keep telling my wife that as we have sold our home, we ARE RENTING for the next 2 years...we will save for the next two years, then buy in 2011-2012 when the market is OFF 50% from today’s prices...

Trust me, there is no job growth other than bureaucrats which are costly and useless (save military, teachers, cops and firemen).

Cap and trade, tax hikes on the “rich”, business tax hikes, fee increases, Socialized medicine...drilling bans, nuclear energy bans, water rationing...no talk of deporting the millions of illegals...

There is a train wreck coming, you can see the Obama Locamotive heading towards America. I am waiting until 2010 to see the tide could be turning.

“It may not be long before the Washington press corps start hounding Obama, as they did George W. Bush, to admit “error.” “

In a blue moon. No. That’s far to generous to the Old Media. How about, “won’t ever happen”?

Obama is incapable of admitting error, nor is the MSM going to press him to do so. For Libs to abandon Keynesianism would be ideologically like a devout Muslim pulling a homicide bombing in Mecca. They will just sort of implode as less and less of the public are willing to believe them.

The stimulus plan was bad policy, poorly conceived and oversold.

The intent of the stimulus was to provide a massive infusion of capital in 2010 in order to insure Democrats maintain a solid majority in Congress.

I expect to be judged by results and … I’m not going to make any excuses. If stuff hasn’t worked and people don’t feel like I’ve led the country in the right direction, then — you’ll have a new president.”

Sounds like a reasonable strategy.

There are place where property is already at 25-30% of replacement costs. The downside is that jobs are scarce there.

I live in a small town where things are like that. Low property costs translate into relatively low property taxes. Cost of living is also low.

I tele commute to work and like it.

Uh, when the nation and government encourages, promotes, and stops fighting new business instead of creating temporary government jobs with phony stimulus billions.

No business growth, no new jobs. Government growth = government jobs that bring no new net wealth for the nation and expire when we run out of money and chased the wealthmakers away.

Think a genius like zerO would have figured that out? What do they teach at Harvard anyway.

who resorted to blaming the American people for the stagflation brought on by his economic policies.

It ultimately will be the American people who will decide whether or not to participate in Obamanomics. Many I know have rejected the deal.

Add to that, we have to start “MAKING SOMETHING”! Can’t buy everything from asia and expect jobs here to last.
