La transición de Obama: política económica…

Sigo llamando transición a los primeros meses de gobierno del nuevo presidente. Aunque ya lleva dos meses en el cargo, voy a tomar como límite el 20 de julio de 2009, cuando ya habrá cumplido seis meses en el cargo, para darla por terminada y poder …

Could It Actually Be That Dems Have No Idea What’s Trashing The Economy And No Coherent Plan To Fix It?…

Obama doesn’t really believe a lack of universal health care triggered the meltdown, does he? I mean, no way. Right? As an explanation of our current economic difficulties, this is total fantasy. As a cure for rapidly growing joblessness,……

If they are still using the term “bloke,” I’m in.
WashJeff on March 6, 2009 at 5:33 PM
‘bloke’ is still in,ditto ‘mate and ‘ good’ay ‘.No so much ‘sup however.
Upsides:stable politics , generally prosperous society, banks appear healthy but bruised
Downsides: Obama worship rife in MSM, Prime Minister self promoting Windbag and Left ~~Libc~~rats control public Education.

I wish there was more of an exploration of Mrs. Obama’s Marxist roots and her ties to Bill Ayres and black liberationists.

You can’t tell me that his mother’s Marxist roots had nothing to with her son becoming a Marxist.

What was Obama’s mother doing working for a Indonesian bank? I thought she was some sort of anthropologist or sociologist.

It’s a hell of a world when we have to hope that the Chicoms understanding of economics is better than our current administration, as they try to save their economy by saving ours.

A Dem called Mark Levin’s radio show yesterday and said he was very upset with O’barry (I think he did use “lied” or “lies”).

I just spend 3 days with my uber-lib, BooshChimpHitler-hating, lifelong Dem father and he never talk politics a single time.

For him, this speaks volumes.

Isn’t China going to remember this guy?

Will this not be an incentive for China to figure out how they could separate themselves from doomed US Dollars?

Subject: Interesting story from au about Tim Geither

Im extremely suspicious of this guy. He’s been at the heart of the US Bailouts of every company that we’re foolishly bailing out.

His father worked with Obama’s mother in Indonesian banks.

Hes a tax cheat. and yet somehow Obama insisted he be Sec Of Treas.

Here’s a story from Australia say that the guy compeltely f***ed handling the 1998 Asian economic crisis.. the conseqence was China’s hoarding of cash and subsequent purchasing of Mortgage Securities.

I never understood why anyone thought Geithner was qualified, let alone the only one qualified, to be Treasury Secretary. His job at the NY Fed was to make sure that the banks in his jurisdiction (e.g., Citigroup) were properly capitalized and not engaging in any unsound or imprudent practices. We all know now what Citigroup and the other banks were up to while Geithner was looking the other way. He was a complete and utter failure. Of course, being a Democrat, that level of incompetence immediately qualified him for promotion to a Cabinet-level position.

Well, who else can scare the East into submission like Geithner?

That’s why I would rather he stay in his spot.

They claimed that Geithner was “uniquely qualified” to lead the nation out of an economic collapse, and that no other candidate could possibly replace Geithner.

Ah .. Ed. You are making the same mistake everyone else has been doing. You have to go watch the videos again, and listen closely. They said that Geithner was uniquely qualified to lead the nation INTO an economic collapse.

“Geithner’s performance since his confirmation hasn’t surprised Keating at all. The dithering on bank issues has left the US with few realistic options outside of nationalization on some scale.”

And you do not think that nationalization of banks is NOT the desired outcome? Shame on you, boy! Grow up and think like an adult, Ed. Face obvious reality.

The Obama “presidency” is an utter sham.

Let’s face it, 65 million “Americans” are complete dumbasses, who should have their citizenship revoked and be promptly relocated to North Korea-preferably before they have had a chance to procreate and further contaminate the gene pool.

We owe at least that to future generations.

They picked the one who would toe the line on global warming and beg for tax hikes on those mass CO2 emitters aka oil and coal companies. Its not good enough to be an economist, you gotta be a greeeennnnn economist to get a job now.
What a crock.
