Pandering to fear

Obama, the anointed one, has declared that “failure to act on an economic recovery package could plunge the nation into a long-lasting recession that might prove irreversible.“

Either that is the most ignorant thing I have heard him say, or it is the most dishonest. He is saying that if the bill doesn’t pass immediately, we will be in recession until the end of time. He is pandering to America’s fears to bum-rush the Republicans into signing the bill, because the longer it takes, the more the public learns what it contains. According to the Wall Street Journal, only 12% of it is stimulative. It contains almost no provision for solving the home mortgage problem that started the snowball that the DemPols and the corrupt press keep rolling downhill to exaggerate the problem. The misnamed stimulus package contains every pork chop the DemPols have failed to sneak into bills for years. They can now claim anything and everything will stimulate the economy. Sleazy bureaucrats are doing what they do - taking advantage of America’s economic woes to score political gains. The bill has fat favors for the unions, the trial lawyers, and other groups who co-own the Democrat party. We have elected the most liberal member of congress, and the Democrats now fully control the government. They have taken over the banks, the car industry, and, now, Obama has declared how much corporate managers of companies that received any government stimulus, their compensation may be. Sound reasonable? It is an ineffectual showboat act, but a foot in the door; Jughead will ultimately decide what all CEOs will make. As president, Obama makes $400,000 a year, a $50,000 for entertainment, two private jets, a private chef, a country vacation estate and free room and board, but he has to buy his own toothpaste.
