Obama has dropped the ball, bigtime on the Stimulus

Well, there he goes again. I am paraphrasing Ronald Regan's famous quip to Jimmy Carter not to reflect a conservative's disdain to a liberal, but a liberal's disdain to another liberal. Perhaps "oops he did it again" would be a better opening to lampoon this DUmmie THREAD entitled "Obama has dropped the ball, bigtime on the Stimulus."

We will now proceed immediately to riffing the DUmmies as they gnaw at their Chosen One and at each other in Bolshevik red, while the comments of your humble guest host, Paul Heinzman, is in the [brackets].

We've got DUmmie sign!

Obama has dropped the ball, bigtime on the Stimulus

[Hillary, has only got one ball;
Emanuel, has two quite small;
Vilsack, has got a nut-sack;
But poor Obama, has no balls, at all]

Team Obama has allowed the GOP and media to frame the debate on the Stimulus package. The republicans send wave after wave of people to tv, radio, and print, and Obama is allowing this to happen.

[That First Amendment is about a bitch, ain't it?]

Obama needs to personally address the American public about the stimulus package and beat back the idiotic republican memes.

[He just got done addressing the Muslim public. Give him time--I'm sure he'll get around to the American public.]

He needs to understand that republicans will not vote for the package unless either: a) it has absurd amounts of tax cuts, or b) republicans receive a lot of pressure from their constituents.

[He needs to learn politics right away? It's only his second week as President of The United States of America. His apprenticeship isn't finished yet.]

Obama needs to encourage people to contact their congressman and senators to make them vote for the package.

[You get a usage "atta boy" for keeping congressman singular while making senator plural, but your choice of congressman over congressperson is earns a PC "oh shit" for sexism. And anyone who has a job will tell you that one "oh shit" erases a hundred "atta boy's."]

There are a whole host of GOP congress critters that live in districts that went for Obama. Why isn't Obama using this?

[Because he doesn't have a clue about what he is doing. Now let's move on to the DUmmie feeding frenzy.]

Apply strict regulation and let the markets work.

[That is the stupidest sentence I've ever read.]

it was government spending that got us out of the Great Depression.

[It wasn't.]

WW2 just accelerated the government's spending and created millions of jobs.

[PRODUCTIVE jobs. Life was still hard in the US during those years. Prosperity didn't come until after World War Two when the war bonds began to pay off and we began to reinvest in innovation and infrastructure. Sending those soldiers who had actually proved that they could finish what they started to college helped a lot.]

Now, had we used the Clinton surpluses to pay off our national debt, then we could easily afford to through trillions at the problem to make it go away.

[The Clinton "surpluses" were as ethereal as your stock portfolio. Did you really think that was folding money? It began evaporating in March of 2000.]

Instead of war spending stimulating the economy I see re-renewable energy spending as the way forward.

[The only re-renewable energy source I know of is breeder reactors.]

And FDR was a socialist too?

[He flirted, he danced, he let it get to second base. Obama will be fixing it breakfast.]

yet another Obama f---ed up thread

[Obama is going to put the "F" in DUmmie FUnnies for the next four years.]

Only to be proven wrong later.

[Only time will tell.]

The Republicans just look petulant and ineffective.

[Only the ones that are really Democrats.]

This may turn out to be very satisfying. A poker play and hoopster.

[Thought the drunken sorority the night before she walked home crying.]

This is a huge gamble for republicans, and one that probably won't work.

[When the stimulus fails Keynes will be proved wrong again. The Democrats are betting on the hard eight.]

Obama knows they're in the minority, and I think some people here forget that from day to day.

[Sarah Palin will be reminding America of that fact in four years.]

I think Obama knows what he's doing. But maybe that's just me.

[Sadly, it's not just you.]
