Obama Signs Stimulus Bill Open Thread

Going on right now. Correct me if I'm wrong, but did Presidents Bush 43, Clinton, Bush 41 hold big to-dos before signing legislation?

Update: Oh, it's a comedy routine! ::Gag::

Obama is all about the big to dos! If you can't make a splash, look important,

 

Why bother?

This is just another extension of his campaigning.  Remember, his campaign is his Executive experience; he's just padding his resume.

Bush / Clinton / Bush were clearly "wasting" their crises.  Any of these fools would have simply signed the thing on AF1 while en-route back from their St. Valentine's Day dinner...

(assuming, of course, that they would have even gone joyriding in Uncle Sam's wheels to try and impress their dates in the first place...)

DSM-IV-TRspecifies nine diagnostic criteria for NPD. For the clinician to make the diagnosis, an individual must fit five or more of the following descriptions:

-He or she has a grandiose sense of self-importance (exaggerates accomplishments and demands to be considered superior without real evidence of achievement).
-He or she lives in a dream world of exceptional success, power, beauty, genius, or "perfect" love.
-He or she thinks of him- or herself as "special" or privileged, and that he or she can only be understood by other special or high-status people.
-He or she demands excessive amounts of praise or admiration from others.
-He or she feels entitled to automatic deference, compliance, or favorable treatment from others.
-He or she is exploitative towards others and takes advantage of them.
-He or she lacks empathy and does not recognize or identify with others' feelings.
-He or she is frequently envious of others or thinks that they are envious of him or her.
-He or she "has an attitude" or frequently acts in haughty or arrogant ways.

Politico says: "The president seems to prefer certain parts of the country, however – states that are crucial to Democratic political victories past and future.

Obama has been making down payments on his political future since the moment he got elected – aligning Cabinet picks, political staffers and his nascent Organizing for America outreach effort to lay down a foundation for building support for his ambitious agenda and the campaigns to come in 2010 and 2012."

Basically, he's still campaigning. To be fair, its all he knows about.

WASHINGTON (Reuters)- President Barack Obama's aides warned Americans on Sunday not to expect instant miracles from the $787 billion economic stimulus bill he will sign this week, but said it would help eventually.

Obama is due to sign the bill passed last week by Congress in Denver on Tuesday. It was the first major legislative victory of his young presidency, which could rise or fall with its success or failure.

"There will be signs of activity very quickly," David Axelrod, the White House senior adviser, said on "Fox News Sunday." "But it's going to take time for that to show up in the statistics. The president has said it's likely to get worse before it gets better."

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs used similar language on CBS' "Face the Nation."

"I don't think there's any doubt that we've seen this economy has gotten worse just in the last few months. The acceleration in job loss probably means that this economy is going to get worse before it gets better," he said.

Obama himself said last week that if he failed to heal the economy, he would be out of a job by 2012, when he faces re-election.

 

And the last sentence is what it's really all about - Barry's re-election.

All hail our new overlords

Feb. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Congress’s approval rating rose 12 percentage points in the last month to 31 percent, the highest level in two years, according to a new poll by Gallup Inc.

The popularity of the Democratic-controlled Congress has more than doubled since July 2008 when only 14 percent of those polled approved of the job lawmakers were doing, according to Gallup.

The jump in Congress’s approval rating was spurred by support from Democrats. In the new poll, 43 percent Democrats gave Congress positive reviews, compared with 19 percent of Republicans and 29 percent of independents.

Posted by: TheQuietMan at February 17, 2009 04:22 PM (1Jaio)

103 As predicted above, here's the AP story on Obama's "acceptance" speech of the stimulus, with the Churchillian quote:
"I don't want to pretend that today marks the end of our economic problems. Nor does it constitute all of what we have to do to turn our economy around. But today does mark the beginning of the end, the beginning of what we need to do to create jobs for Americans scrambling in the wake of layoffs," Obama said.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Investors are absorbing the reality of a deepening global recession -- and dumping stocks on exchanges around the world.

Investors in the U.S. and abroad are realizing that President Barack Obama's $787 billion government stimulus can only do so much, and that the recession may take a while to run its course.

 

Really? This clown of a journalist asked every investor in the world their opinion on this. And if the recession will run its course, then why do anything about it?

Looks like the current occupant won't be making the Caterpillar error again.  (What are the chances his peeps thought a kewl name like Caterpillar must be a head shop?) Now we'll only see business endorsements from things you might not personally recognize as a business. Not used bookstores, of course--Congress just shut them down.
