Why does anybody ask this guy anything? He is 0-how many presidential campaigns. He is an expert on losing.

North Carolina now has the worst government money can buy. 

Btw....I heard Andreeaaaa Mitchell also...I jsut shook my head...I asked my husband if all these people really believe what they are saying at times, they've been in such an agenda driven life, some of them most of their adulthood, that at times I think they truly are living in a delusional world.

I love your line ns ....What a difference an "O" makes is priceless here...or anywhere for that matter.

Doubling down on stupid is not a particularly good idea. ~Andrew Breitbart

Whomever said "If you're not Liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not Conservative when you're 35, you have no brain" probably did not realize just how many ways that sentence is true. I think currently, it can best be described in the level of maturity between contemporary Democrats and Conservative republicans. It seems to me that the drumbeats of "we won" and "it took eight years to get here" are not unlike the grade school playground arguments of "it's my ball" and "stop touching me!"

I hate when adolescents are in charge...

Oh, and using the Obama administration economic policy of "we won", this guy Scrum (or whatever his name is) should really just go away. 

It just might be the only hope we have left.

Bob Shrum's talent is being able to talk glibly but seemingly authoritatively on issues, making observations and comparisons that seem to make sense but are full of holes.

He is a walking talking example of how to interview for a job successfully before your boss realizes you are incompetent.

He used the example of Reagan without crediting Reagan or noting that Obama is doing the exact opposite, as an illustration to embarrass the "partisan" Republicans into giving Obama the same chance they gave Reagan.

Since the liberal media is intellectually dishonest and agrees with him, and Obama's agenda, it probably never entered into Gregory's mind that Obama and Reagan were polar opposites economically, and if it did, he would never persue that flaw in Shrum's ill-conceived and flimsy argument.

Falling down drunk is a lagging indicator of excessive drinking.

Team Obama claims that our increasing unemployment is a lagging indicator of Bush's policies.

Actually, it lags the disastrous housing policy of the Democrats, and the disastrous so-called stimulus policy of Obama. And it lags the anouncements of more spending and higher taxes on everything, including energy.

The country is still drinking, so it is falling down drunk, and Obama-Reid-Pelosi is pouring in the booze as we lay there semi-conscious.

We Guarantee It
The government is guaranteeing us into poverty. The story of the housing and economic crisis. Politicians discovered a loophole in government finances. They could borrow as much as they wanted, off budget and without debate, by granting guarantees.

.... I was and am still perfectly willing to sit back with lower taxes and relaxed regulations to wait for the economy to recover. As soon as the current administration implements that plan. However, as the current course we are on involves higher taxes, increased government and tighter regulations all to the tune of possibly destroying the free market as we know it. Then I am afraid I have no patience for a recovery that is only going to occur in a mentally unstable fantasy of self congratulation and personal greed.

You know things are going downhill fast for the current administration if they are starting to use Reagan comparisions now.

Reaganomics is a short term solution, just ask George H.W. Bush. Reganomics is why Bush one wasn't reelected, 'read my lips, no new taxes' but because of Reganomics he had to raise taxes. Bush one approval rating was above 80 percent after the Gulf war, then he had to raise taxes because of Reganomics.

 When they say this is the worst economy in 26 years that was the beginning of Reagan's administration. It will be probaly another year or two before the economy returns to normal.

because no one teaches history anymore.  Or if it is, it's the history of how white males are responsible for all the evils of the world since the time of the Founding Fathers.  For example, I'd love to know just how much history of the Cold War, relatively recent history, is even taught competently in American classrooms today and what lessons were learned from that period of time.

 I remember there being an interview with Charles Kesler over at National Review Online on the topic of learning from history.  The narrator asks, with obvious exasperation, how given the history of free market capitalism versus socialist central planning and all the economic experience we've obtained with both these systems over the past century, why is the obvious superiority of capitalism even a question anymore?  How many times must socialist economic policies falter and collapse before people get the point?  Kesler referred to a tactical answer, and I think this is partially what he had in mind.  Liberal infiltration of the educational system is so complete that history isn't taught, and the lessons of the past are never learned by the next generation.

Barack Obama supporters can only be certain about things they DO NOT understand - everything else makes them indecisive and blind ideologues.

Everyone who still Supports Barack Obama or those who 'ObamaHope' that the economy will somehow recover, are all making the same basic mistake about Barack Obama.

They 'Feel' or think Barack Obama wants an economic recovery, before he finalizes his plans.

Many like Colin Powell, think Barack Obama is simply attempting too much at once, because of inexperience, naivety or possibly even lack of knowledge.

Many Barack Obama supporters think that the economic initiatives of Barack Obama or continuing those attempted by George Bush or a combination will somehow result in an economic recovery.

That thinking couldn’t be further from the Truth.

Barack Obama has effectively blocked anything that might help the economy or reduce unemployment and fueled anything that hurts the economy or raises unemployment.

ObamaCare that has popular support will probably be the death knell of the American economic system, with massive borrowing and spending, tightly coupled with higher taxes and inflation.

A Marxist/Socialist totalitarian Government with Barack Obama as ‘Supreme Leader’ is the goal.

The only ones NOT recognizing this appear to be most Americans.

"Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday that he and Cuban ally Fidel Castro risk being more conservative than U.S. President Barack Obama as Washington prepares to take control of General Motors Corp.

During one of Chavez's customary lectures on the "curse" of capitalism and the bonanzas of socialism, the Venezuelan leader made reference to GM's bankruptcy filing....

"Hey, Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors.”

"why shouldn't there be more patience from the Republican aisle"

Because the policies that Obama is pursuing are already known from prior experience to be a FAILURE.   No amount of time will cause them to succeed.  The policies Reagan adopted have been shown by prior experince to be successful.

 Shrum acts like we have no data about the the likely outcome of Obama's policy.  There is no doubt about the outcome.  Keynsian solutions have been tried in the past and have failed in the past.

I seem to remember the big thing was Trickle Down Economics doesnt work and will not from all the talking heads.  And the only way things are to get better is more taxes.  It seemed to me that everyone was saying it only benefited the rich, some tired old cliche huh but it works, and when was teh common man going to get his.

So when is teh common man going to get his in this economy?  I say he will never get it, especially if he voted for Duh One.

The 2008 Detroit Lions of Presidential campaign management has spoken.  React accordingly.
