Say it with me….. DOW 6000

If GW were still in office, the MSM would be all over the collapse of the DOW like white on rice. Today the silence is deafening.
Any bets on the future date of some major MSM figure admitting to buyer’s remorse?

Most Transparent Administration Evah? More like the same old, same old.

If only it were “same old, same old.” Obama seems to be determined to do even worse.

Perhaps we should suggest the old standard “reading is fundamental program” for the bozos that passed this without reading it. What if some idiot put in to start to fund terrorism projects… no one really knows. And for MR. non-committal president that is still voting present on the campaign trail for this jibberish, maybe he needs to get back to washington……. I know, he hasn’t visited there often…. and get the Al Gore’s internet connected so a copy of this nonsense can be Transparent to the Americans that pay taxes… We all know that the ones that will really benefit only read the backs of government checks they get.

Government by Executive Order, and no one alerts the media? Who needs Congress anyway?

On your knees everyone! (trumpet fanfare!)

All Hail His Majesty Hussein the First!

Whatdya bet the next executive order is to eliminate “the Federal Register, a dense daily compendium of regulatory actions”?

Let’s hope this is an opportunity for another Tapper-Gibbs smackdown.

If nobody knows about the lie and nobody cares about the lie, is it a lie?
albill on February 18, 2009 at 1:44 PM

There are obviously plenty of people who both know and care. That group just doesn’t include a single member of BO’s voting block, which includes his personal horde of sycophantic media hacks.

He of the solid mid-ranger jumper. You can’t have too many decent small forwards on any team.

By the way, is this the same committee to which Obama appointed Immelt of GE as a member? I realize that Immelt is the CEO of the parent company for Obama’s two news networks (NBC and MSNBC), but GE has been a trainwreck under his watch. I took a loss when I sold my GE about seven or eight years ago, but it’s tanked even since then.

BuckeyeSam on February 18, 2009 at 12:21 PM

Good question! I’ve heard not one mention of Immelt and this appointment except by BOR. Obama appoints another loser. How much is GE stock right now?

Obama is a master of the Big Lie. The bigger the better.

Look at the sorts of things his disciples believe. I saw a post by a school teacher on another site that her student are asking for the address to the White House so they can send in their parents’ bills – cell phone, electric, rent/mortgage, gasoline recipts, etc. – with the honest expectation Obama will bail them out as well.

I have long held that the opinion of leftist pols is that the American people are idiots. The American people continually prove them right by electing them.

I think BO’s followers are stupid enough that, in 4 years, when they’re all standing in line waiting for their daily ration of bread and cabbage, the conversation will still be about what a crappy president Bush 43 was.

We’re in for a very bumpy ride.

Remember Barack Obama’s pledge to make this the Most Transparent Administration Evah?

Yeah, I do. But like anyone w/ a brain I didn’t believe it.

He’s a liar. Lying is what he does. The minute his uber-pursed, condescending lips open, I simply tune him out or change the channel.

&& dammit I keep waiting to wake up and discover that this has all been a bad dream.

Why is every progressive rebutal is based on alledged hypocrisy?

WashJeff on February 18, 2009 at 12:03 PM

That’s easy: they can’t argue on facts: either the facts don’t support their argument, or, equally likely, they are ignorant. They never advance much past school-yard-squabble rhetorical tactics, mainly because they’ve never progressed much past school-yard maturity. It’s the same reason they believe that there’s a free lunch: they’ve never come to grasp economics any more fully than the early-20th century peasants who embraced Socialism and Communism.
