in the land. you have your people meet with the out going office holder, you discuss many subjects, and one subject surely was the economy.The transition was smooth, as related by both sides. and now you are surprise the economy was this bad. You are the worst group of absolute no nothings in this country's history. You were told your policies were a major catastrophe in the making. You can not spend your way out.It has never worked. Give the people their money they will get the economy rolling.

"yes we Can" are only words-you are weak in all capacities.you have proved BHO is not qualified to govern.

BHO-  THE PROGRESSIVE PIRATE

it looks like NBC is gonna have to send Rick to reeducation camp in Siberia again.

They could say, "Yes, but the first stimulus bill was a liberal spending wish list and a pay out to our supporters. The new second stimulus bill will actually be for stimulus. We're serious this time..."

The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.

How about option number three:

Admit that they are frauds and hacks, then fire themselves and allow real journalists to take their place.

I like that option much better than the others.

Rational Liberty: Where Reason and Government Collide - The best website ever!

BUT, do you think anyone (except those of us here) actually cares? We have a 50 something druggie, maybe pedophile, getting 24-7 coverage, people weeping in the streets, while the government of NY can't even compromise on who is the leader (how come the demolibs won't give in? - actually a favor for the citizens), and everyone from Slippery Sharpton to anyone else, making excuses for the media coverage. Seems to me that the media, as cowards usually will, cannot do the job that they profess - REPORT, and not editorilize or celebrate.

Look, Michaels' music and dancing were ok, maybe trend setting, but he's actually just like the politicians who are setting us down the wrong road - he gives us what we want/expect, after we hand over money, we feel good for a while, then it's over. The exception is that the pols keep asking for more, and with them, we don't have a choice. The major problem with the cowardly liers, (deliberate or stupid) is that they have no idea of what they are supposed to do - they have forgotten about who, what, where, when, and figure out the why - instead they have become, me, mine, and why don't you believe me? I guess that is what happens when ideology takes the place of common sense - if they know who to read, maybe they should read that - (Common Sense by Paine-  for those of you in the media)

There is no sense in being stupid, if you can't prove it! - my dad V

All the money from the first stimulus hasn't been spent! I keep hearing only about 10%?!?!

All these geniuses in the BHO administration and not one of them can figure out that cutting taxex is the best way to stimulate the economy.  It truly boggles the mind unless you consider that they're not really to solve any problems; they only want to grow the government.  Complete idiots.

since the great depression due to osama bin obama, all of the job loss and the current economy are his, his alone and he has done it on purpose. America better wake up to the fact that he and 240 +/- reps and 63 +/- senators are going to continue and not stop until they destroy America.

Keep bamslamming the bamster until he is gone.

I think Santelli is looking for his own special episode of one on one with Jon Stewart.  Won't be long now...

Trying to understand anything by the definition of Liberal words, (especially those of Barack Obama) is futile and only leads to confusion of anyone trying to discern what is actually meant.

ObamaSpeak is quite similar to the terms introduced by George Orwell in the dystopian classic "1984", 'DoubleThink' and 'NewSpeak'.

The Orwellian term 'DoubleThink' in simple terms is tightly coupled to 'Cognitive Dissonance', where a person holds two diametrically opposed views of reality as one view, i.e. "War is Peace", "Freedom is Slavery".

The Orwellian term 'NewSpeak' in simple terms, was designed to replace and reduce the concepts of e.g. objectivity and rationalism into one term - 'OldThink'.

The ObamaSpeak term 'Czar', has little if anything to do with the original meaning of the word 'Czar', which meant the 'Supreme Ruler' of a Country, specifically Russia.

The ObamaSpeak term 'Czar' cannot be understood by definition and must be understood by function.

The German Socialist term 'Führerprinzip' and its intended function, reveals the intended purpose of the ObamaCzar.

This approach is basically a 'Hierarchical' structure where someone is appointed directly and has the sole responsibility of oversight of a particular function i.e. 'Energy', with little interaction with others except for the one who made the appointment.

This effectively bypasses Congress or other oversight and leaves decision making in the hands of the appointer.

In Germany this approach was used not only on business entities but Mayors, Union Leaders etc.

If and when California is bailed out, Barack Obama will appoint a Czar of California to oversee the 'Investment' for the "American People" and thus acquire control of the eighth largest economy in the World and bypass the California Government and its citizens.

This introduces another German Socialist term 'Ausnahmezustand' or in simple terms, governing by Crises, manufactured or because of current conditions.

Remember when Barack Obama's 'Chief of Staff' Rahm Emmanuel said, "We can't let a crisis go to waste".

Barack Obama used the word 'CRISIS' 25 times in his speech about signing the 'Obama Stimulus Fiasco', where most who voted for the Bill had NOT even read the Bill.

The 'First Step' in Socialism, take control of financial systems and devalue the currency by taxation, borrowing, spending and printing worthless money.

Critical thinkers realized the first clue that something was really wrong about Barack Obama, was when he rushed through his economic plan because of the crisis and then borrowed huge amounts of money (to reduce debt?) and now is sitting on most of that money.

Crisis after Crisis are now bubbling to the top across America, from the State of California to Cities like Detroit Michigan.

Meanwhile Barack Obama is focusing everyones attention on 'Free Health Insurance' that will cost the Taxpayers Trillions of dollars.

The Obama Administration has withheld irrigation water to the most fertile 100,000 square miles of food producers in the World, in California, causing even more unemployment and financial stress and soon massive food shortages.

Ausnahmezustand in simple terms, is the Necessity of declaring 'Martial Law', which "Temporarily" suspends existing rights, rules and regulations in order to deal with the "Crisis".

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set," he said. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded."
Barack Obama Speech July 2, 2008 Colorado Springs CO

This statement debunks any notion that Ausnahmezustand wasn't part of the Obama agenda long before election.

Obama is patient and will wait until the crisis is such that people will want 'Martial Law' and him as the Decision Maker.

Even if something like the "stimulus" would have worked, it's hard to see how it could have when they've only spent 7% of it. And now they want more?

Just like Clinton in 1993.  "This economy is so much worse then we were led to believ,." Clinton explained as the Democrats proceeded to pass a very large tax increase (breaking a campaign promise to cut taxes) and screwing the middle-class.  Fast forward to today and it's the same story...economy much worse than we thought, etc....  What really makes this wrong on so many levels is that no one (in the liberal advocacy organizations) will call them out for being so "factually incorrect" and then question them when they call for another stimulas or other stupid actions.

We are so screwed!

However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results. Sir Winston Churchill
