Pelosi is changing the rules to avoid voting on the trade deal within 90 days.

Now, a President whose policy we should imitate is Silent Cal. Coolidge acted like a Republican/Conservative. He cut taxes and let the market sort the problems out. He is the reason for the roaring 20s.

Didn’t he also insist that Britian repay its war debt on time and in gold? And didn’t that lead them to lean on Germany for timely payment of reparations, which forced the Weimar government into inflation, which got out of control and gave the Nazi’s the opening they needed to gather power and take control?

Punishing our allies and licking the boots of our enemies seems to be too common a theme in twentieth-century America.

“No better friend, no worse enemy” may lack nuance, but it has a refreshing honesty and adherence to principle.

Are we sure this is Bush and not the media not reporting the information?

He could have more press conferences. That would help.

This is another example of where he is such an ineffective communicator.

Are we sure this is Bush and not the media not reporting the information? I wonder sometimes, given how easily we can find this information ourselves…

Just a thought.

The White House staffers will not listen. You can talk to these people until you are blue in the face and they think their message is sufficient.

They will not acknowledge that the lies and distortions of the Democrats are killing the Administration. Completely oblivious.

If they haven’t gotten it by now, it’s just not going to happen. Too late in the game for them to change.

The irony is that back then, their roles were reversed, with Republican Herbert Hoover pushing high tariffs and Democrat Franklin Roosevelt opposing them.

The good news might be that it’s all just an act. Democrats may just be, as USA Today puts it, pandering to the Rust Belt in order to gin up enough anger to fill campaign coffers.

There is more irony. Roosevelt didn’t repeal Smoot-Hawley.

McCain picks up Alan Greenspan’s endorsement, backs Colombian free trade treaty to offset Hugo Chavez

Crickets chirping from the mainstream media . . . unless of course it is to tell us that McCain said he needs to learn more about the economy. . . what’s that?! He said he needs to learn more?! You mean he didn’t say he didn’t know anything about the economy but that he wanted to learn more?! I think I would prefer a candidate at 72 who wants to learn more than a candidate in his 40′s who thinks he knows everything he needs to know about the economy.

Colombia already imports here tariff-free as an incentive to suppress its drug trade. American goods, especially agricultural goods, face up to 80% tariffs in the Colombian market, making them non-competitive.

Why can’t Bush talk about that? That’s very easy to understand, even for economically clueless Americans.

This is another example of where he is such an ineffective communicator.

Well it looks like Democrats are really getting
desperate.But,I didn’t think they would stoop to
political withcraft!Haha

Democrats may just be, as USA Today puts it, pandering to the Rust Belt in order to gin up enough anger to fill campaign coffers.

…which, incidentally, is exactly the last thing people need to do with what little money they have in Rust Belt economies.

But Democrats care about them, remember?
