sck - your hero had a chance to be a real hero, but instead, threw away the chance. All he had to do was follow, not the advice of Republicans, but of HIS OWN ECONOMIC ADVISORS (you know, the guys that he picked), and the GOP would have been helpless to oppose him. He could have then stood up, with full authority and said "I put the country first". Instead, he sticks with the Pelosi/Reid "Keep Dems in Power Act", which doesn't do ANYTHING his ECONOMIC advisor have said, and goes for the political power grab.
HIs mantra of "8 years of failed Bush policies" rings awfully hollow when all he's doing is doubling down on them. His whole rationale is "We have to do something" and "we have to do it now". At least Chicken Little wasn't thought to be the most intelligent chicken on the farm.

you guys are still living on another planet (where the congressional repubs seem to also live) You want Obama to suggest republican solutions - that isnt going to happen. As he said quite clearly, there really isnt much to discuss with people who dont believe in government intervention to help the economy. And in the current situation it is SPENDING that is needed.
Ain't gonna cut it Sck. We DON'T want Obama to adopt our plans...nor do we expect him to. What we DO want is to YELL loudly and clearly that Republicans think his spending solution is a national disaster. We want the public to know who to BLAME in 2010 and 2012.
That Republicans want to do NOTHING is another one of his lies (for the Obama lied thread) since he knows EXACTLY what the Republicans want to do from the plan they submitted to him. It included a lot of immediate Tax CUTS...rather than printing money for pork barrel spending.
The spending being undertaken is beyond anything in the entire worlds' history and is completely unsupportable...it didn't work when Roosevelt tried it, and this huge boondoggle will bankrupt this country and my kids and their kids will be paying the price their whole lives.

"Our economic problems worry me much less than our political solutions, which have a far worse track record." Thomas Sowell, in today's newspaper column.

Has anyone else heard any concerns about a provision in the stimulus bill that would "establish a new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, that monitors treatments, as McCaughey says, "to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective."
Sounds like rationed healthcare may be coming sooner then we expected?
