The Economist The Obama Administration Should Have Listened To

The Economist The Obama Administration Should Have Listened To

Commented Nov 12, 2009 at 13:30:44 in Business

“I guess you aren't kept abreast of the news. Obama saved us from a Depression. the jobless number is down more than expected, the dow is over 10,000, the GDP is up.

My question is how do people without jobs pay for mortgages no matter how low the principal is lowered. This guy is another 20/20 hindsight guy. I have no interest in hearing these fools who didn't predict September 2008. NOW EVERYBODY has the answers. It too a long time to get into this mess and it will take a long time to get in this mess.

You have to convice me why I should vote for the same people that put us in this mess. That would be a little stupid don't you think. Obama has 4 years and has gotten a lot done so far. Jobs are a lagging indicator. The american public didn't take the time to update to skills of the 21st century. Obama can't fix that for you. Take the Tea Party and beg the Private Sector to give you a job. If you ask Obama for a job you are asking for the gov to get bigger, something the Right is vehemently against! On well. We all have to suck it up. We are fresh out of "magic Bullets" no matter who you put into office.”

“Um EVERYBODY else has been talking NOT Obama. He was waiting to see if Karzi was going to be re-elcted and he was. Now he is factoring that bit of bad news into it. All generals ask for more troops and all neocons want endless wars as they never have a domestic agenda. Obama seems to be on the right track,but we won't know untill HE MAKES the decision, not the press, not HP, not the bloggers. These are the hard decisions we elected him to make. My money is on Obama making the RIGHT decision. Lord knows Bush and Cheney did not.”

“That bit of bad news, he went on the air and said Karzai has our full support, but we'll give him a couple of months to clean up his act. Who are we too to give another head of state a ultimatium, especially one who is doing all this corruption with our consent. What is wrong with us drawing down. You know it's easy for everybody to say that eventually he'll make the right decision, but this happening now so a decision needs to be made now by Obama not Bush or Cheney because those two chickenhawks are gone and they could care less.”

“I am really tired of political answers. Obama looking for the Right answer, now the political one. We can't hold our politicians feet to the fire when circumstances on the ground change. The fact that the corrupt Karzi government was re-elected is a HUGE deal. why should we lose our men propping up a corrupt government that is working aginst us. Obama has the guts to do the right thing.”

“Moral of the story: Don't threaten the President. Especially don't threaten the President if you have 43 guns in your house. I guess the gun enthusiast in here have fotgotten the story of the young man in Pittsburgh who assassinated 3 Police Officers because he thought Obama was going to take his guns. You have to take these threats seriously. I disliked Bush as a President, but I would neer want anyone to harm him. These are Americans we are talking about.”

“Talk to your State Legislators. They all got Stimulus money. Example, Bobby Jindal got $2 billion he has spent $648,000. Got to Recovery.gov and see what YOUR State is doing with the money. The republican govenors are sitting on the money so they can say it's not working. The only think working in America right now is OBAMA! Cut him some slack. We all sat around for 8 years doing nothing, not we want magic.”

Having a president of color has certainly bubbled up the ignorant. They can't control themselves. I think "they want their Country" back. But somebody tell them - they don't look Indian! lol lol”

“the problem is that Jindal has $2 billion in Stimulus to help the people of LA.

To date he has spent $648,000 on his citizens who are hurting. I think he is letting his ambitions to run for President keep him from fulfulling his duties as the Governor NOW!”

“Yes, and that is truly treacherous. A lot of Republicans are putting politics before the betterment of the citizens of this country. In my opinion, it is appalling. Everyone of them should be booted out of office for this.”

“Somebody tell Steele and the GOP their talking points are rusty.
1. Medical malpractice payments is only 1% of the insurance company payments - big deal
2. Why don't they tell us how they would tear apart the current Individual State Regulation of Insurance to make it portable. Do they have a price on that.
3. Why he is wanting the govement OUT of Health Insurance - his GOP buddies are all over TV asking Obama (the government) to provide jobs. Why don't they ask the "free market" to provide jobs. Why are they going to the health care and financial companies and demanding jobs. They surely don't think the gov should be in the jobs business - they "free market" will take care of it.”

“Forget his travel bills, I don't want pay for his food bill. I live in NJ and I know this - one would have to eat constantly to maintain that size. This guy is huge. I cannot imagine him adding the stress of running the State of NJ in such poor health. He is literally a heart attack waiting to happen. Just the right amount of stress on top of one fatty meal and this guy is toast. We don't need a governor who is sick. I think his weight is a HUGE problem (no pun intended). It shows terrible lack of discipline OR some deep seeded problems.”

“Good point...it is clear the guy is undisciplined from some of his actions and statements...calling pre-school "babysitting" was a big mistake, and has turned alot of women voters off in NJ, voters who reliably turn out to vote. Christie's record has also turned off many women in general.”

“I do not know what his diet consists of. Some might argue that driving 90 mph without a seatbelt is a deathwish that stems from deep seeded issues. I think we all are educated enough to understand that people burn calories at different rates. He may just not be as perfect as you. However, I believe that your dislike for him is based more on his policies and less on his poundage. Or do you just think that all overweight people suck and can't perform their jobs?”

“I have one word for Oklahoma "HIPPA". This is illegal. The State cannot pass a bill that is against the Federal LAW. This is too easy. You can't single out ONE procedure to be publically displayed, you have to display them ALL. This is so GOP.

This is what happened to the GOP in Congress as they tried to pass a bill to defund ACORN. As it turns out they can't. The Law says you can't write a bill singling out ONE Federal contractor. The bill has to be for ALL government contractors.

Well that bill died when the GOP realized that Halliburton, Brown and Root, KBR, Boeing, and 63 other HUGE gov contractors had not only defrauded the government, but over the years have been fined millions. ACORN is small potatoes when you look at them. Is the GOP really this stupid or just this racist. I tell you racism is a disease that affects the mind. The GOP needs to get vacinated. Racism has ruined their party. Seriously.”

Sepulchre replied on Oct 08, 2009 at 17:35:23

“Keep in mind too that the GOP while in power funded ACORN then. They only took issue with it, when it didn't work in their favor.”

“Here's what I learned during the last election. I don't call or write, I send Money. I sent money to Obama during the election and I send money to a number of Dem groups now. When you write or call these people, they send you a form letter, they don't listen. Money talks. Remember the speech Sarah Palin made at the GOP convention. She had never met obama but she insulted him the whole speech. I was so angry I sent to obama's websit and sent $100. Well the next day I found out a lot of people had done the same thing. Obama made $10 million that night. the GOP got $1 million. Money talks.

Send a donation to the DNC or to Moveon.ORG. These people take the money and fund the campainge of a strong democrat to run against Ensign. They also use the money for those great ads. Notice all the great ads about Health Care bringing it to the health care industry.

Send money. Don't waste your time writing or calling.”
