I was just watching the speech with my dad and step mom.

I don't appreciate you calling my dad and step mom morons. :rolleyes:

Really though, my step mom just said "this reminds me of the new deal" as if that is a positive thing that will help us. I try to explain the Austrian perspective to them, but their just to plugged into the matrix to really listen to me.

It's like right before he started a guy with a stop watch said, "Ok let's see how many lies you can say in 30 minutes....GO!!"

As he is speaking, I look through the channels and I see "FDR: Presidency Revealed". How ironic? Personally, all of this propaganda is giving me stomach issues. I can't take much more of this.

This is a horribly boring, and dare I say unprofessional, presser. I can't wait to hear Tiny Tim Geithner's detailed plan tomorrow.

I hope someone archives all the libertarians who comment on the net how this is a bunch of horseshit.

We all wonder why it seems that no Germans opposed the Nazis (though there were probably many). At least our kids will see we were trying to change things the right way.

Why is Helen Thomas still a journalist? WTF kind of question was that? She asks a question about Pakistan and then asks which countries in the Middle East have Nukes. Duh, Pakistan.

I have to concur. I was so worried that I would be too upset to use the golf courses being built thanks to Obama's stimulus bill.

Now I can finally exhale.

Isn't Israel in the Middle East?

Did Obama miss that one?

+ 870 or whatever Billion

He said, "We don't know whether we will need more money after the initial $350B from TARP to restore confidence in the markets."

Isn't crazy when you hear it put in that simple terms - We are borrowing from our children's future to restore our current confidence in ourselves. Amazing.

That statement also goes to the heart of fiat currency - its all built on confidence. You lose it, you end up like Zimbabwe.

The Same reason Robert Byrd and Daniel K. Inouye are U.S. Senators... It's Cronie Washington DC, no matter how dysfunctional or incoherent one may be to the country

What a joke... $838 BILLION of Waste and Corruption

and now the TARP II Total Communism of any bank being an Entity of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, What? This is NOT SOCIALISM... this is well Polished CHROMED COMMUNISM!

The recurring themes were:

I inherited this mess.

I can disregard anything Congress has to say because they have overseen the biggest deficit increase in history (at least until after I am done)

I am trying to be bipartisan, but the damn Republicans won't come around to doing things MY way!

Anyone who says the government should do nothing is an idiot.

He has consulted with the majority of most economists that already agree with him, and they mostly agree that he needs to do something.

Anyway, I think he did a good job selling his plans. He does make a "good sounding" argument which is really all that most people need.

That one has been on ever since he won at some other forums I read.

I expect it's because the ObamaRama made folks think this guy shits silver bullets, and now that he's prez and everyone knows he does not, they're going to whine "it's GW's fault" to try and escape the fact that Obama is not Messiah after all.
