With everything that’s f’d up in this country the last thing I care about is if someone konws how to manipulate the media. What’s Palin’s plan to grow the economy, reduce the massive debt we have, reform entitlement programs, cut the budget, etc. That matters more to me than how she uses the media she claims is “lamstream”.

You are thinking like a Ivy League policy wonk. As if the president can actually do anything to grow the economy. What the president needs to do is not to implement some central government planning, but just to get out of the way.

If Obama had done nothing but golf and veto every piece of legislation that came up to his desk, the economy would be booming right now.

I would love to see a candidate state categorically that their plan for the economy is just to leave it alone.

Heh heh heh.

Reagan did too. It's how he managed to get through the tax cuts despite a Congress of the opposite party.

The Congress still lied through their teeth, though, and never followed through with the matching spending cuts: and then they and the media blamed Reagan for "soaring deficits".

Look up the following Dem quote: "I could create the illusion of prosperity if you let me write $200 billion in hot checks every year."

Then wonder why the press isn't saying this about Teh One.

Cheers!
