Don’t usually get the racists here. I didn;’t read all the way through - just thought he was an Obama hater.

Thanks for bringing to my attention.

These questions can be decoupled. No, I don’t want him to be right, because that means I’m wrong- I disagree with him on most things. But yes, I do want him to be successful, because his success will be measured by the strength of the economy.

I don’t hate Obama, I just think he’s not good for America. I hope I’m wrong- as poor a candidate as McCain was, he had a great campaign slogan: “Country First”.

This recession will be deep and long, punctuated by brief stabalization whenever the government steps on the gas. But ‘the gas’ is no longer cheap money. It’s giveaways. The healthiest thing for the long term of this country is rolling government shutdowns and massive cuts in government spending to create a new, sustainable government spending baseline. Throw out a few tax holidays for companies that hire workers, builders that build houses, or stimulate the broad economy in any way and we’ll go through a painful year and come out far stronger. But politicians might lose their jobs so the odds of this happening are nil.

That’s some pretty upstanding stuff…

What are you smoking?

Nevermind….I’m impressed. That’s what we need now… Bravo!

While true, the claims that this is the ‘worst since the great depression’ is unwarranted nonsense. Its wrong to have worst-case-assumption… best guess is this will be akin to the 1981-1982 recession … hmmm, maybe we need a taxcut.

For this reason, I will hold my tongue on foreign policy matters where Obama will have to do right or wrong and we can judge after.

But on domestic policy, America will succeed only if the liberal excesses that Obama and the Democrats in Congress want to implement are curbed or stopped. In other words, I want bad policies to fail and good policies to succeed.

So far, the only really good news from Obama was assurances that windfall profits tax and new taxes wont be raised right away. we still face the threat of CO2 regulation, of illegal alien amnesty, of huge socialized medicine.

The stimulus package is not the worst of the policies, I’d rather the healthcare and CO2 regs as the worst and most damaging to our economy, but even the stimulus will be on balance more bad than good. We cannot afford the debt burden of bailout after bailout. Rep Gohmerts proposal for a tax holiday, while gimmicky, would at least do more good and highlights the expense of this so-called stimulus.

You make the point that is often missed, while we oppose Liberal Ideas, we Must offer solutions of our own.
