I can hardly believe what I'm watching on MSNBC right now. Chris Matthews is almost critical no, not even almost, he's flat-out critical of President Obama on the economic front. He mentions an earlier conversation with CNBC's manic stock analyst Jim Cramer and a University of Maryland professor (Peter Morici?) knocking Obama for several economic decisions that the stimulus bill needed more real infrastructure and less pork, that the housing bill isn't inspiring confidence and doesn't look like it will work, and that no one has faith in Tim Geithner's solution for the banks.
Howard Fineman of Newsweek says Obama has been "grim and a little distant at the same time . . . Tim Geithner hasn't inspired any confidence anywhere, as far as I can tell."
Matthews: "He seems like Barney Fife to me."
Eugene Robinson: "I actually referred to him as Doogie Howser, Treasury Secretary, and I think it's a little unfair." Much laughter ensues.

Does Eugene realize that his boy APPOINTED “Doogie Howser” as the Treasury Sec.?
“It’s the old “bigger idiot” adage—when you see a big idiot filling a position, it’s because an even bigger idiot allows it.
In the long run, we seem to repeat these cycles. Obama gets thrown out and new polices turn the country around. We have "morning in America" once again. Thirty years later, half the population never recalls the bad times and certainly has no understanding of it. They demand more and politicians are always willing to give it to them. The cycle starts again.
Me, I stay cash since 10/2007. To weird for my money.
After a night of passion, Barry didn’t call back.....
so sad to be thrown over by the obams.
Wesley Crusher was a genius, but inexperienced.
Tim “TurboTax” Geithner is clueless, but dishonest.
The (leg) thrill is gone...
That qualifies for the Line of the Year competition.
I scared the dog by LOLing. Thanks a lot. ;-)
If he would just send a text or some flowers...
True... but not the people that I deal with.

I'll play! "Democratic"?
Of course it is. Doogie Howser was actually smart.

I think Timmy was on stage yesterday, behind The One, when Rangle made his speech about TAXES! --or, the two who don't pay their taxes!
I have only read down to your post on this thread, Tenacious.
That said, the health care “reform” are going to fix Social Security and Medicare by cutting off health care to us oldsters.
Just you wait and see.
Imagine the rage at NBC.
Santelli makes his “rebel yell” comment to the CHEERS of the tading floor.
His video garners over 1.2 MILLION hits and growing.
What does this say when that is more than the COMBINED ratings of MSNBC for the night?
NBC discovered ratings. ratings are money. ratings are survival.
Tingly is not selling ads on NBC.
Ration healthcare to "Oldsters" and people with chronic health problems. Sounds a lot like Hitler.
HEIL!!!!
Looks like the fairness doctrine will have to be applied to MSNBC now.
“Tim Geithner = Wesley Crusher”
Not so, Wesley paid his taxes. Not only that, but he knew his backside from a hole in the ground
