Waiting for Mr. Obama (Hard Truths and Big Ideas) - barf
The New York Times ^ | 8/28/2010 | NYSlimes Editorial Page

Posted on 08/29/2010 8:05:06 AM PDT by bagadonutz

If President Obama has a big economic initiative up his sleeve, as he hinted recently, now would be a good time to let the rest of us in on it.

News on Friday confirmed that the economy was far weaker in the second quarter than originally believed, growing at 1.6 percent versus an initial reading of 2.4 percent. Grim reports on housing sales indicate that the slowdown has continued. In a normal recession, housing would lead the way up from the depths. Today, it appears to be leading the way back down.

Don’t be surprised if he acts like he going to center to prop up votes. This puke will say anything, restore Bush tax cuts, lift the drilling ban, then once election is over reverse it.

Hint for you Progressive Fascists at the NY Slimes.

Nothing your fearless Leader is doing, or will do, will work because your whole ideological outlook is anti-economic progress,

In order to "pull out a miracle, he would have to jettison your whole ideological outlook and pull a Reagan.

Wait. Let me guess. More spending. More debt.

The Left hasn’t had an original idea in 40 years.

Maybe he could start getting the ball rolling by asking Congress to repeal the Obamacare mandate/massive tax increase on small businesses?

Naaaaw, that won't happen! Not anytime before January 20, 2013.

Cut taxes, cut taxes, cut taxes.

It has worked EVERY time it was done.

And that is EXACTLY why the bamster and his dhimmiecrat minions won’t do it.

No more “big ideas” — we need people with ordinary business sense.

Which brings us back to Mr. Obama. The fiscal stimulus of 2009, coupled with low interest rates and other Federal Reserve interventions, kept the recession from being much worse. But it has not been enough to revive hiring, without which a real recovery is impossible. In the meantime and even more ominously, economic policy making has all but ground to a halt.

Not to mention, Obamacare, Crap and Trade, Banking Reform Scam and the expiration of Tax cuts. Don't foget how the White house screwed the creditors of GM and Chrysler...etc. Why don't you try to pull your heads out of your collective Butts and see the obvious. No wonder your rag isn't fit to line a bird cage.

The title of the article “Waiting for Mr. Obama” shows how pathetic liberals and the MSM truly are. These people sat that Americans shouldn't think for themselves and take action on their own initiative. Instead, they think Americans should stand around like hopeless children waiting for Obama to read phony phrases from a teleprompter.

The greatest nation in the world is being destroyed from within. The MSM says we should just let it happen and wait for the politicians to save us.

The RATS are going to push a ‘payroll tax cut’ for those making less than 50K - that’s my bet ...

News on Friday confirmed that the economy was far weaker in the second quarter than originally believed<.strike>, Obama lied about.

Fixed it the way it should have been written but the NY Slimes just could not go that far. At least they are circling the truth now, even if they cannot actually state it. They have to, the truth is far too glaring and far too many Americans are not swallowing their pap any longer. But, they just cannot bear to be critical of "their man." Criticism is reserved for use only at the Republicans...and, still, for Bush.

About a week or so ago I saw a chart here that showed Canada had fully recovered from the economic disaster and I thought they did this with no stimulus. The point was that we’d have been better off without all this expensive government intervention.

After reading that the NYT thinks the stimulus was too small I went to find this chart again and found only the opposite - that Canada had a huge stimulus.

Hmmmm

What continually gets me is that the government is only giving us back our own money.

Whatever Obama’s plans are or may be, they are dedicated to one end: The destabilization of America, the destruction of her society as necessary to that skewed ideology, and the redistribution of wealth and power according to racial /ethnic minority nationalism -socialism ideology.

In short, America elected a radical politician who wants to redefine America and destroy her in the process if necessary.So really , to Obama , I say:

“Enough already. Your plans? No thank you. You have done quite enough, and the only thing you have to do which will satisfy America is to leave the office you have purloined, and take your fascist running dogs with you.”

All these words and all the NY Times is really saying is:

We need more taxes (sacrifice) and more spending on Democratic priorities.

This is the same thing they’ve been saying for 50 years.

“It could be energy independence, with high-tech green jobs and a real chance for addressing global warming. Either of the above would make sense, economically and politically. ‘

These people are still living in a cloud of delusion, with no clue what is happening in the real world.
