OBAMA LIVE ON TV: Oh my. We're in a Recession. We're all gonna die!!

[Jim Robinson]

Obama:

We're in the worst recession since the Great Depression! We've got to take this serious. We must be bold. I know, let's bbq up some pork. Let's have a pork bbq big enough to feed the entire nation. But why stop there? Let's really be bold and bbq up enough pork to feed the entire world!

I'm such a smart economist. All the rest of you only think you're economists.

Now go vote yes on my pork bbq.

As another freeper stated (I think it was Jeff)....he promised them ice cream.

[His hyperventilating is because he firmly believes that unless this load of offal get passed the country will crumble.]

I do not believe that. I think he is trying to cram this pot of pork down our throats before more Americans wake up to what a steaming pile of cr*p it really is. He knows it is nothing more than pork for liberal special intersts.

What a POS Obama is.

I’ve been against all these bailouts from day one.

Everytime I said so I got flamed by another poster who wished me a slow and terrible death from starvation or some such thing.

>>I love your take on this! He is SO trying to create chaos to get his way...<<

I agree that Bush wasn’t an orator. The press hated Reagan too but he was a speaker. I still think that Bush needed to be out there more. Maybe better speech writers would have helped, I don’t know. I do know that his “Uniter not a divider” hurt him. Bush expected co-operation even after it was clear that wasn’t going to happen. He was too NICE.

My husband keeps reassuring me it’s all good and that this was needed to show those on the left what we’ve known for so long. It’s like a purging if you will....

It’s still unsettling. My only comfort is knowing it’s in God’s hands and His will. It happened for a reason....

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I was thinking the other night....Obamma is a revisit of the Carter years....Man those were awful years...mortgages at 15+ %....

Change we can bereave in.

But, I thought he couldn’t eat pork?

I fear the next pork bill will spend a googol:
a number that is equal to 1 followed by 100 zeros and expressed as 10¹⁰⁰

Origin:
1935–40; introduced by U.S. mathematician Edward Kasner (1878–1955), whose nine-year-old nephew allegedly invented it

Quit clinging to your wallet and 401k plan.

[pillut48]

Didn't I hear some economic expert on Cavuto (maybe Neil himself) say that we are NOT in the worst recession of all time, and if things were left to themselves, the market etc. would fix itself in about a year to 18 months?!?

[a fool in paradise]

Are they burning an effigy of a pig?

The Fierce Urgency of Pork

By Charles Krauthammer
Friday, February 6, 2009; A17

“A failure to act, and act now, will turn crisis into a catastrophe.”

— President Obama, Feb. 4.

Catastrophe, mind you. So much for the president who in his inaugural address two weeks earlier declared “we have chosen hope over fear.” Until, that is, you need fear to pass a bill.

I’ll agree with that assessment. Bush expected people to be as honorable as was he. It usually doesn’t work that way. Nevertheless, I think his presidency will fare well in the history books, a couple generations from now.
