A better gamble for the Republicans is to vote against it then hope for the stimulus to fail and rebound in 2010.
A better option would be for both sides to work together and craft a much smaller bill that is very direct and starts the spending as soon as possible.

Bush's deficit spending for his WHOLE first term amounted to $946 billion. Obama is going to pass that amount with ONE bill.

And now we gotta spend even more to fix his fuckups...

You might as well say this is money being spent on the failure of the bush administration.

How blind are you?

Ouch... Obama was NOT ready for that question on Iran at all!

Rookie mistake... I'll bet that he won't make it again!

He did very well imo, negotiating is better for everyone involved.

President Obama, with regards to nuclear Iran:
We?re going to develop a relationship of mutual respect.

Yeah... that'll do the trick.

Obviously the tactic of bullying them into stopping hasn't worked either.

Let's have fun with John Boy's Lying A$$ Fuzzy Fun Facts & Revisionist History!


January 20, 2001 - Federal Debt: $5.728 trillion

January 20, 2005 - Federal Debt: $7.613 trillion

(That would be an increase of 32.92%, or $1.885 trillion)



January 20, 2008 - Federal Debt: $ 9.189 trillion

January 20, 2009 - Federal Debt: $10.627 trillion

(In the final year of the Bush Presidency, Federal Debt increased $1.438 trillion, or 15.65% in one year.)



So. For the record. George W. Bush inherited a $300 billion surplus in the Unified Budget and declining Federal Debt and turned it into a $1.438 trillion single year increase in the Federal Debt in his final 12 months. For the Historical (Hysterical?) Record, federal debt increased 85.53% under Brother Dubs.



LOL @ John Boy. Now we know why Commander Codpiece kept his Elective War and Iraq Reconstruction After Destruction 'off-budget'.

You got that tingle up yer leg didn't you?

One can easily see, reading this thread, the festering drooling darkness of primitive minds confronted with the light of compassion and hope, the dogs of hell baying at the light of the moon, the perversity and cloying hate of the damned, their fingernails scratching slate:

"We come, not to hear Obama or to support his ministry, but to burn him up side down at the stake, to tear his eyes out and to slime him, for he has committed the unpardonable sin of casting light into our pit of black despair and offer us redemption, we the damned who are eternally cursed. We come, not arise from the ash of our death but to crucify you."

And I hear this answer echoing in time and space:

I am he as you are he as you are me
and we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun
see how they fly
I'm crying
Sitting on a cornflake
Waiting for the van to come
Corporation T-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you've been a naughty boy
you let your face grow long

I am the eggman
they are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob

Mr. city policeman sitting
pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky
See how they run
I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying
Yellow matter custard
Dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife
Pornographic priestess
Boy, you've been a naughty girl
you let your knickers down

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob

Sitting in an English garden
waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come you get a tan
from standing in the English rain

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob

Expert, texpert choking smokers
don't you think the joker laughs at you
See how they smile like pigs in a sty
See how they snide
I'm crying
Semolina pilchard
climbing up the Eiffel tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking
Edgar Allan Poe

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob
Goo goo g' joob
Goo goo g' goo
goo goo g' joob goo
juba juba juba
juba juba juba
juba juba juba juba

Part 1

if he's going to use fed money to implement solar photovoltaic's,
he should give the money to American citizens so they can choose
a PV vendor from the private sector.

Part 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H0b7e4j-0U

it's not "Fear" in the sense of talking about something that could
happen, like Cheney and his various War on/of Terror fantasies.

Obama's talking about stuff that is happening. Dec. 2008/
Jan. 2009 job losses are past tense.

Is it just me or the job creation numbers just kept on increasing as the weeks went by? IIRC, it was 2.5-3million, then solidly 3 million, then 3-4 million and now it's 4 million.

What changed in the bill that can create at least 1million new jobs?

Its science, or magic, or both.

Please state 3 specific republican issues which I "supported unconditionally" and how they relate to obama's FUD speech. Also, please tell me who I voted for POTUS in 00 and 04.

Son you didn't vote and support Bush and you didn't unconditionally support the Republican's over the last 8 years? Wingnut not found, credibility restored;)

I still disagree with you that his speech was FUD.
