Re: {OT:} The adults are in charge again

Even BO seemed to be distancing himself from Pelosi and Reid when he was down here in Florida. He said this in not a perfect bill, or the one I wanted, after all it was formulated in Washington.

From the ones we did see, can we really blame him?

Holy crow, this could've been GWB's motto! ;-P (Except he would likely have screwed it up, if someone asked him to recite it...)

Here is something that Republicans can't dodge and have to choke on:

Barack Obama takes random questions from unscreened audiences at his town hall meetings.

GWB could not even IMAGINE having the balls to do that! Only hand-picked questions from hand-picked audiences for little Georgie boy.

Change is definitely good!!

Go on and keep on emphasizing that you could not understand Obama last night.

Just to let you know, it is not reflecting on the president.

The far-right wingers are invading your brain...

Is it anything like the one President Reagan sponsored and signed in

There's no proof of that, not even for the 1930s. But there is proof that increases in government spending can raise prices enough to cause general inflation, which is what happened in the 1960s and 1970s because of Great Society programs.

Inflation was better than deflation, which tends to grind economies to a halt. You need to look at real incomes, not just price or income changes alone, and they did go up because of the New Deal and the devaluation of the US dollar from about $17 an ounce of gold to $35.

Actually history doesn't show that, contrary to what highly political pseudo think thanks want us to believe. It's just part of their propaganda campaign against Obama's economic plan because of all the comparisons between Herbert Hoover and GW Bush and between FDR and BHO.

If an economy can grow only by expanding manufacturing, then the US economy wouldn't have grown in the 1980s and 1990s, when manufacturing shrunk as a proportion of the overall economy.

I caught you making a mistake, and you've never been man enough to admit your error. That makes you a liar.

That's just another lie by you, Foghorn, because the down quarter occurred in 2007, well before the current economic meltdown, and back in Oct. 2008 you said that there hadn't been _any_ down quarters since the end of the previous recession. But it's not surprising that a wife beater like you would also be a liar.

Take a look at this photo, from GW Bush's farewell:

I'd have a very sad face, too, as I thought of the troubles and turmoil that my country would be experiencing in the coming four years.

He is contemplating the prospect of trying to sleep at night from now on.

Townhall meetings, Chuck. Try to pay attention. Or go take some more meds. No one gives a crap either way.

Nobody here who supports Obama has ever felt that way about him. You'd understand if you had never been a member of the GW Bush cult, as many other right-wingers here still are.
