Vice President Joe Biden acknowledged Friday that Democrats could face political repercussions in 2010 for their support of the economic stimulus package, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Can we call this Democrat sponsored bill “Free Market Destruction and Depression Act of 2009”
During the campaign they sent plugs to the most uninhabited parts of the country to campaign once he started up his gaffe machine.
Where will they send him this time ?
Official long term diplomatic mission to the Antartic ?
POLL: Is Obama’s plan
mainly for jobs or pork?

They’re setting the stage for “failure” and no doubt by then they’ll have a reason to blame the Republicans!!
Now, fix what caused the problem, give the people tax credits to put some money in their pockets so they can help get the economy back on track. You are right, the bill is a spending bill and that is it. Major economist are saying this bill will not stimulate the economy. If this bill wouldn't put our children in debt (which I believe to be an immoral act), I would say give the rats the rope and let them hang themselves with it. But I think it is worth while to fight for our kids, so I am willing to take a stand.
I almost started to laugh at that, but I can't because it may be true.
Sorry AIT, you way overestimate Oba Mao. I don’t think he is even capable of a nervous breakdown because that would require at least some sense of responsibility. There is nothing in his resume so far that indicates he has the slightest sense of responsibility. He is like a spoiled teenage brat who has been told how wonderful he is all his life. When he totals the car, his first thought is what kind of new car he’s going to get to replace it. Remorse never crosses his mind.
No it's just Joe being Joe. The quote, "If everything goes as we planned it, there's still a 30% chance we'll get it wrong." It's his typically awkward way of telling us the Dems shouldn't be blamed when Porkulus helps to destroy both our economy and our liberty.
How does he arrive at the 30% figure?
-—by looking at the wrong end of the 70% empty glass.
You left out dividing it by the number of times he’s eaten at that Delaware restaurant that doesn’t exist anymore.
I agree with you 100% — opposition research on the man even here in the States shows essentially the same thing so I can only imagine what foreign Intelligence reports say. I have this vision of the terrorist rubbing their hands together in glea. ZERO has never been one to take any criticsm from all accounts and has always been handed positions instead of working to get them. ACORN carried the water in the DEM Primary with huge voter fraud especially in Caucus States.
Not even sure he will last a year and the more attacks on him and his handling the office, the faster the meltdown will happen IMHO. When I heard Dr. Coburn on the floor of the Senate last night he was genuinely pained that this Senator who he helped show the ropes was now totally partisan and not interested in what Republicans had to offer. I got a sense last night that the Senators speaking know he is not up to the job. His coming after Republicans in front of the House Dems did not play well at all and in fact, turned Senators off to the man.
Don’t think ZERO is stable at all which is scary. When he feels confined by the WH already, this man that has never had to work is in trouble. He acts like a kid with a jar full of candy to sample not the President. His speech against Republicans the other night was divorced from reality IMO.
Worst start to an Administration ever and getting worse by the day. I think you are correct about the pool as much as I hate to think what lies ahead, you have it nailed IMHO.
I figure this: I used to estimate markets for a living; ie. how many dollars of product X sold in Russia?
Often there would be virtually no data to support an estimate. So, you would have to build an estimate from “inflowing” data. For example, refrigerator sales could have lousy numbers. But I determine the potential number of owners, a basic replacement rate, an average sales price, income ranges and then hack up an estimate.
In uncertain conditions where you manage to arrive at a number, you need to assign a confidence to it expressed by error bars; i.e., $100 million in annual sales, +/- 15%. The most common conclusion is to say, I could be right or wrong. So, I assign a 50% chance. That’s easy.
But, in HIGHLY uncertain conditions, where the data really sucks a raw egg and your estimate is hardly any better than B.S., two things happen: Your chance of being wrong increases (obviously) and the error ranges you assign to each estimate increase as well. Instead of 50% right, your chance decreases to 30% because that is where you estimate meets the next set of error bars.
So, having wrestled with estimation problems with the highest possible uncertainties, I know that saying 30% right is the same as saying “shit if I know.” Good work, Joe.
Well, those aspects AS WELL are bound to be in foreign spook psycho-state analytical reports on him!! ;-)
If only it were just minimization of risk. Unfortunately, they transfer all the risk to some other poor schlubs who don’t even know they are assuming it. Like us taxpayers. We get to bail out all the profligate, irresponsible wastrels.
Dear Mr. Vice President:
I’ll take the over.
I would say that is about right.
He does not know how to keep his trap shut.
The man is such an idiot.
Obama has never told YOU just what was in his package and WHY we so desperately need it NOW with no time to read the text....get that? READ THE TEXT OF THE BILL? What is he so afraid of and just who does he owe more to than his allegiance to his country? Big questions for a president who is having a near meltdown publicly. He isn't leading the country he is Bleeding the country.
