He wasn’t given a “mandate!” (52-53% is hardly a mandate) and the only “mandate” he got was to be the first black president.
No-one paid any attention to what he actually said except we in the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
And far from saving the economy, he has tanked it–and it’s continued to tank not only since the day he was elected, but especially since the day he was inaugurated.
You are just plain delusional!

Funny, when Bush won by the same percentage you Republicans were screaming “MANDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Incredible how things have changed.

oh, i’ll blame the blacks all right. i’ll blame them all day, and all night long. NEVER will they get behind any black person who has any morals and did something with their life that required getting off their ass and working hard and not relying on affirmitive action and what “the man” owes them. black people only seem to praise and triumph the most disgusting, criminal, valueless thugs this world has to offer.

What do you think about us Mexicans?

Shocked, shocked, that a junior half-term senator, with no executive experience at anything, and hordes of radical socialistic mentors behind him, would be a chaotic disaster for a capitalistic system?

No sh*t, Sherlocks!

Heck, Achmed at my local 7 11 where you can buy the economist has a LOT more executive experience than obama did going into the election. Seriously. He employs about 5 people, Keeps his books, pays his taxes etc.

Also OT – but I hope this nonsense doesn’t screw with the grid. Any electrical people can correct me here, but I understand that the grid isn’t real good when there are large changes in demand. Something about the generators are already spooled up and dropping a whole lot of load can do bad things.

Unlike the typical liberal I do know when I’m not an expert at something..

How is it “more honest” than Bush? Deficits actually went down during Bush’s second term, at least until 2008

Because Bush inherited a budget surplus, and still managed to rack up $4 trillion in federal debt. Why? Because ‘deficits dont matter’. It wasn’t that Bush ended in an era of underlying wealth creation, ended our nation’s dependence on foreign energy, or put a man on the moon. It was simply that Bush felt like giving the nation $4 trillion in debt because, after all, why not?

No sh*t, Sherlocks!

BTW, whenever reading any stories about this new Krugman Newsweak cover and article, don’t fall for the propaganda that Krugs “won the Nobel Prize in Economics”. There is no such prize, as even the biased Wikipedia is forced to admit.

Del Dolemonte on March 28, 2009 at 8:09 PM

My point is that all of his shills are calling it “the Nobel Peace Prize in Economics”, when it is no such thing.

Del Dolemonte on March 28, 2009 at 8:41 PM

While I learned from your and Legend’s exchange, it was you who brought up the “Nobel” first. Also, to be clear, I never was, nor will be a shill for Krugman. I actually can’t stand him. I simply posted that he’s on the cover of Newsweek, against O, which is in and by itself interesting.

To be sure, it is schadenfreudig to see the Economist and Krugman, et company, disappointed in their One. Though upon further reflection, one has to always weigh if that is good or bad for our country.

And why are so many still operating under the illusion (delusion?) that Obama is actually trying to fix our economy, when he is actually doing the opposite?

Dave, I have had this thought too. If I can use an analogy, lets suppose you are at the beach and you see a fantastic sand castle, better and more elaborate than any you have seen before. As the tide rolls in the and kid who built it trys setting up bulkwards and moats to stop the incoming water. People are gathered around looking at the castle and thinking what a great job!

Obama is the second kid who comes along and kicks the whole thing down. He doesn’t WANT to fix it, but every onlooker puts himself in a normal persons perspective and keeps waiting for him to do something to repair it.

Even I was in this mode till the AIG thing. I waited for Obama to come out and urge calm, to critize the Unions for terrorizing the families. I thought, “Well he will garner a great deal of good will and his minions will go around to the Sunday talk shows and say “How Presidential”, “How Noble”, “How Statesmenlike.”"
.

Never happened.

We are in so much trouble. At some point the Supreme Court is going to have to get involved. This is why Reid and Pelosi are going after Justice Roberts, to weaken the Court and prepare for a major intergovernmental war.

Amen, Ed.

If the government wants stimulation, give all taxpayers an amount of money that will let them pay off all of their debt and invest the rest to make themselves whole, vice giving money to the companies without any accountability.

Is it incompetence or is it that Obama cannot find people with views compatible enough with his own who could pass even a cursory test of their background? Democrats praise and live the dysfunctional. We’re used to Republicans who praise and live what experience has indicated time and time again works.

As I reported weeks ago, the Obama administration has done almost nothing to staff what should be the highest-priority positions in an economic crisis. That’s simply executive incompetence, and it can’t all be blamed on Obama’s level of scrutiny. The man at the top of Treasury committed tax evasion, and he’s still around. Obama issued a waiver a day for his anti-lobbyist policy in the first two weeks of his administration

President TelePrompter keeps saying he ‘inherited this mess’. Just a stall tactic used by the clueless trainee…

Here’ a shot of the back widow on my car. I assume pretty much everyone will agree with me soom

There’s also a sticker that says “Global Warming: It’s the Sun, Stupid.

I have no sympathy for those who are just now awakening to the fraud that is Barack Hussein Obama.

The information about this man and his anti-freedom, Marxist belief system was all over the internet TWO YEARS AGO.

And why are so many still operating under the illusion (delusion?) that Obama is actually trying to fix our economy, when he is actually doing the opposite?
