“major milestone on our road to recovery. “

More like a milestone on the road to serfdom.

I agree. I said it last night and I’ll say it again today.

Black Friday the 13th I call it.

I don’t know, it took 3 of our own traitors to get it past the Senate, right?

He has brought down America.

Thanks for the display of guts, determiation, and a willingness to call 'game over' in the first period (or quarter or half...pick your sport).

Just ask my youngest sister who lost her job Friday along with 190 others (and their company isn't even mentioned on the list below) how impressed she is with Obama's promise to help middle-class Americans thus far. Combine that with his fearmongering to get the stiumulus package passed before ANYONE had a chance to read it. If anything, he's shown in this first 30 days he's been anything but "transparent as he likes to repeatedly claim.

Even the most pathetic boss I've ever had has allowed time to make sure important documents go out proofread - submitted correctly without errors and open-minded for revisions and changes. It is not indicative of professionalism in any way, shape or form by anyone who authored or signed it.

layoff daily names and numbers

Oh, my fight isn’t gone. I plan to go on with this battle. But this is changing America as we know it. What is being done as we speak? Who is speaking out against this?

You tell me, shall we wait until 2010 and get a majority and reverse all this damage so he can veto it all? Or wait until Rahm gets a hold of the census and we have no chance in hell of getting a majority?

I’m saying, he IS celebrating because he has done in his mind what he has accomplished.

That doesn’t mean I’m through and I sure as HELL hope it doesn’t mean all of you guys are through.

Obama claiming credit for Pelosi’s bill. Before it’s over both will be blaming the other for this disaster.

Good, but be careful what you say.

We would be better off if Obama was merely 'worthless' in stead of down right destructive. Hope your sister does OK. I know that's a tough position to be in. Tell her there is genuine hope out there and it doesn't come from Lord Obama.

I'd also stay away from that layoff site. That's like watching the casualty count from Iraq. It won't do anything for your confidence. Remember, your attitude is the only difference between an ordeal and an adventure.

Yes, I sometimes have to temper my heated words.

Thanks, really.
