Well I hope you kids who voted for Obama will be happy with the results. There's definately some change coming but it probably isn't what you were expecting.

Nothing is for free and all of the programs he will initiate will be paid for by the already struggling working class people. When you finally stop living in your parents basement and have to go out and work for yourself and start paying for all of this stuff then I'm sure that you'll start singing a different tune but it will be too late.

I'd like to keep the few dollars that I've worked for and you can keep your change.

"Banks are the economy's circulatory system." LOL! It isn't socialism, it's MEDICINE if you're a delusional conservative. This phrase was a banality when first written and has become no less banal with it's endless repetition by right wing apologists.

Banks are just businesses, and they fail all the time. Yes, they have structural importance, but to use their importance as a reason to bail out YOUR BUDDIES who have donated hundreds of millions of dollars to your campaign war chest is Grand Theft Treasury-a video game coming to a bank near you.

The rest of his polemic is mostly a screed against Obama, who hasn't even been sworn in yet. Meanwhile, Continetti ignores all the harm caused by Bush. It's 8-0 Bush and Continetti can't count or think but whining is still an option.

Does the Weekly Standard actually pay people to write this nonsense?

It's my considered opinion that the OP doesn't really care all that much about the subjects so much as he gets a kick out if seeing the reactions of others here. He may be completely apolitical.

I do wish I had the magic 8 ball he uses. Be great at parties. No matter how you roll it, it veers Right :D

Winnar... How is is that you KNOW what he's going to do? Right wing blogs told you the future. thats rich. Then you post it here as if its reality, or not written by some nutbag. What you say is going to happen is still based off of right wing fear campaigning. Lets get this straight now - what the right said he would do to try and stop people from voting for him is NOT what he will actually do. They are two totally different things.

Why dont you wait until he is in power and give him time to actually do something. Then if you dont like it, post away, and complain away - I will be right there with you... At least then you will be speaking about something that actually happened, rather than what you (or more likely the right wing blogger you get your false info from) thinks.

Can you not see how wrong you are? The American economy, and spirit is far stronger than you give it credit for. What will happen is some corrections to fix this broken economy, and a few years of recession, then we will climb out of it again as we always do.

Posting foolish crap like this will just make you look like an idiot when 8 years goes by and we are STILL A CAPITOLIST SOCIETY.

Winnar speculates, that's about it. He shape/warp whatever 'facts' are out there just to suit him.

I hope Obama teams up with some terrorists and capture the real terror: George Bush and Cheney and then waterboard them and throw them in their version of Gitmo. (first part is joke, second part is umm...

Yes, he is the Messiah. His plan is going to be like FDR... People will work for the government to dig ditches, build roads, infrastructure.. plant trees, etc... Forget about those "big, bad corporations"... work for the government.. I just hope people in his administration remembers that FDR had 10%+ unemployment rate.. we are heading there right now.. so if thats his mission, then get ready to pull out the "mission accomplished" banner in front of those closed and empty factories and companies while he gives the thumbs up...


Yea, he's not the president yet.. but look how he has affected the markets as the president "elect". I wonder how its going to be like when he is the president? Some how the companies that hire people.. that employ people... I don't think they will consider Obama's administration as the best thing since slice bread.

With all the companies that are dying and laying of people, does Obama really believe he can create enough government related jobs for those people? I doubt it. Government has never done that before.

you do realize that the infrastructure projects that Obama is talking about would actually increase business for the entire supply chain. to place any blame on Obama for the current market volatility is absurd just like the rest of your 'points'.

My sentiments precisely.
More drivel from the PNAC diehards. They will do anything and everything to "prove" that their ideology was, and still is, sound in spite of Mt.-Everest-sized evidence to the contrary.

It's actually quite pathetic. It's surprising that anyone still considers them prescient (besides winnar of course).

Keep in mind that a little under 23% or Americans think that Bush did a good job and since Anandtech is a microcosm of society he just might be one of the 23%

Don't worry.

Just wait for fundamental Islam to generate a crisis as they attack our weakened nation due to our wimpy soon to be Commander in Chief. That 23% will skyrocket.

The Clinton years were kinda meh, but I remember Jimmy Carter.

That already happened in 2001, moron.

20 years from now, people will fondly remember these last 25 years when their labor and efforts were actually rewarded. Hopefully we can see this age again someday.

The Weekly Standard is *crap*. It's a contra-indicator of reasonable opinion.

The last 25 years have been a *disaster* for the nation.

1. The unprecedented run-up in peacetime debt has provided some illusion to hide its huge damage, but huge damage it is, with effects to come for decades to come.

2. The concentration of wealth has skyrocketed, to levels not seen since just before the great depression. That's a terrible thing, despite childish right-wing views to the contrary.

The only thing that's made it feel tolerable is the advance of technology making many things cheaper, and the availability of cheap items from oversease on borrowed money.

The liberals build the middle class out of the poor working masses, and the Republicans have gone a long way to undo the middle classes' gains.

If you tax people enough they will move. Taxing the upper class out of existence is a solid way to put more of the burden on the classes that can't afford it.

"We're beginning to get a sense of what the next four years will look like. It won't be a conservative era, that's for sure."

The very first sentence! Damn, when was is it conservative? If you call the last 8 years conservative, well, I got a hummer you might be interested in!!!!

Sheesh, what a load of shit!

But when a dem does it, workers of the world unite! :roll: Using the author's rationale, banks need never worry about making bad investments because the government will always have to bailout the "nation's circulatory system". That's supposed to be capitalism?
