I actually like this idea but apparently even Obama's own principles are for sale when he needs to cover his ass.........promises, promises.

It's a desperation move to look decisive and probably a bad idea in our current economy. There certainly is no intellectual consistency in having pushed the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and then freezing spending before the bulk of the stimulus money has even been spent. Politics as usual.

Particularly when it's going to save around 15 bil. And even that laughable amount has the left sites in an uproar.
This goes on the list  Pete

The question I wonder is if America will buy what he is selling? Will he be able to turn this around or will Americans see his actions for what they really are, desperate attempts to save his party from his own self inflicted wounds?
I am not sure if this will pass the smell test because from what I hear in my area from both Left and Right is he isnt fooling anyone and infact some are more angry or insulted that Obama thinks people are too stupid to see what he is doing.

It's all about changing the narrative. Obama gets decisive, "fights" for the people, and takes on a profligate congress with one hand while fighting Wall Street with the other.

I don't want a President or Congresscritter who is gonna "Fight" for me...I just want 'em to do what they were elected to do...Why is there this notion that we have to "Fight" w/our gov't to get it to do what its supposed to do in the 1st place ?

Higher taxes and healthcare reform is not working out so well. Gun control?
nah, that bit em ass once before. He's grasping for air, not sure what their platform will be next neither does he. Give him a break, he's never even ran a hot dog stand much less the whole friggin world he thinks is his.

Quote:
The stimulus is showing signs of working. Were it not for the stimuli under both Bush and Obama we'd be in a full blown depression now instead of a weak recovery. The two Nobel economists we have here, Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman, think so and think more Federal spending is necessary to maintain and strengthen the recovery, especially in the area of job creation.
