"Peter R. Orszag, disclosed the deficit revisions Monday in his blog"

I understand money is tight now but this seems a little ridiculous. Who's job is it at the NYT to surf for news from the administration that is fit to print?

Did then Senator Schultz vote for the $700 billion TARP  plan or not? Wasn't there about $350 billion left to spend, that he could have frozen, whenhe was anointed? The 2009 buget resolution, true a carryover from Bush, but with 8% more added by San Fran Nan & Co. could have been vetoed, by the good Sgt,as POTUS, couldn't of it?All facts, allACTIONS taken by Sgt. Schultz and his boy Orzag, who argued against the effectiveness of the type of stimulus plan put forth by the good Sgt, when he was head of the CBO, now says they inherited this and "we did nothing to compond it". Facts are a mighty illuminating thing, aren't they?

The economic disaster was followed by a massive, indiscriminate bailout. I'm willing to accept the notion that keeping a number of banks afloat may have been necessary to prevent a complete collapse, which is what Bernanke maintains. Once the financial sector believed that the freefall stopped, they began to re-orient, and the road back to recovery started. I hate the indiscriminacy of the bailout, but from what I'm reading, I might have to admit I was wrong: the bank rescue was probably the right move. Let's suppose that Bernanke is right, and propping up the banks was the key to recovery. Fine. That happened under Bush.

If they're going to blame the recession on Bush, then let them acknowledge that Bush put out the flames.

Obama blames the collapse on Bush, but he wants the credit for the recovery. But (if Bernanke's right) the recovery started by stopping the collapse. That's all the economy needed, and then the recovery power of the economy kicked in, all by itself. 

Obama's trillions had nothing to do with the actual recovery. (Note: I'm still not sure that we can call it recovery, but let's do it for the sake of argument.) He spent trillions to keep his own constituency afloat, hoping to buy time for the recovery to kick in. Then, he's going to spend a few more trillions to follow the liberal model for healthcare, then a few trillion more to create a new education model, and then a few trillion more ... you get the point. All of this is being sold as drastic action to rescue the economy ... but if Bernanke's right, the economy already has been rescued, by Bush! All of Obama's spending is "A.R." (after rescue). And therefore, when all of the spending will come back with a vengeance as inflation, we'll have a new disaster. This new disaster will be long-term, systemic, structural, and will be impossible to "fix" quickly.

History will show that the calm, cool, "presidential" Obama was the one who actually overreacted.

Screw bipartisanship, screw moderates.  Republicans need to stand up and say 'WE ARE SICK OF THIS LACK OF RESPONSIBILTY ON THE PART OF THE DEMOCRAP PARTY!"

I was hoping to leave a comment for him but as I guessed, there's no way to contact him.  I'd probably have the IRS after me anyway.

Since ascending to the Kingdom on the White House, every problem in America has been inherited from the previous administration! When Iraq is deemed a success, will Mr. "I vote present" claim the success is inherited? Don't hold your breath!

This guy is an irrisponsible jerk! Everything is someone else's fault! The sad point is that he is the spoiled brat of the msm. They are the irresponsible parents who think their sweet, little Baracky never, never does anything wrong!

But this boondoggle is yours and all yours, democrats have held the purse strings since Jan 2007 and all your lies and distortions cannot change that fact.

You have mortgaged ours and our children's future and YOU are to blame and in 2010 we WILL take control of the House and Senate, and in 2012 YOU will find yourself out on your ass as a one term ex-occupant of the White House and we begin the clean-up of the biggest and most costly screw-up in American History! 

Not as long as the "Statists" are around.What "We the People" will have to do is clean house in all three branches of the government all the way down to the roots.

FDR poisoned the judicial branch when he intemidated them in the 30s to give him the power to do what he wanted and hence that branch has been poisoned ever since.

We need to start over from scratch. Just like in the beginning in 1787, but making sure that term limits are in place for every federal position of government. Another thing would be to make every state a "Right-to-work" state. This would be just for starters.

Remember folks, Freedom isn't Free. It was bought with the blood and sacrifice of the men and women who are serving and who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

For those who fought for it, Freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know.

Also remember folks, that the way to SUPPORT THE TROOPS is to support their mission. Anyone who says that they support the troops but don't support their mission is lying about supporting the troops. And if you want to know, yes I do have a dog in the fight, he is a United States Marine.
