6 His own Vice President admitted "We misread the economy." (Way to stay on-message, Joe!)

This from the people who've been screeching, "THE WORST ECONOMY SINCE HERBERT HOOVER" for the last eight years.

No, just potentially British.

Going to the dentist will cure you of that though.

I just posted a CNBC interview with the CEO/chairman of American Express, which basically boiled down to "NO GREEN SHOOTS".  It's a bummer but a refreshing change from the Obullshit that we're being fed constantly.  I would also like to point out that the VodkaPundit has a most excellent plan to right this ship:

 

<P>Then how about this lovely VodkaPundit Two-Step Plan:

1. Repeal the Stimulus Package immediately.

2. Declare a payroll deduction tax holiday just as immediately.</P>

Must mean someone likes what Obama's doing.....

12 Then how about this lovely VodkaPundit Two-Step Plan:

1. Repeal the Stimulus Package immediately.

2. Declare a payroll deduction tax holiday just as immediately

Strangely enough, I can see the Democrats doing this:

1. Repeating the Stimulus Package immediately.

2. Declare a payroll tax increase  just immediately.

13 This Obama didn't win ...

The Obama that won was a fabrication of lies propelled by the he's our boy man MSM.  THAT Obama promised everything better ... economy, health care, non-existent global warming, and a cure for cancer. 

Instead the Obama we got has quadrupled the debt, given money to his pals in the banks and unions, and expressed utter disdain for our country.  He has failed to produce on any unicorn promise.

This is NOT the Obama we the 52% knew ... or that won.  This is the man behind the mask.

14

At least he's not BOOOOOsh!  He's NOT Bush!!!

He's intelligent!!!  He's sexy!!!  He's sexily intelligent!!! His wife is beautiful!!!  They're not old white people!!!  America is the real terrorist!!!!  Listen to him read...so eloquent!!!!  Bush in an inbred hick born with a silver spoon in his mouth only President because of his family he only went to the right schools because of his family!!!!  The world loves us now!!!  I want to be European!!!!

JOOOOOOSSSSSSSSS!!!!

15 A democrat controlled congress cutting taxes? You people have lost your ever-loving minds. These fuckers are bankrupting us faster than the too-big-to-fail banks. A liberal only knows what he/she "feels" is right. Common sense be damned.

We're saved!! We're saved!!!

 

White House officials confirmed that Obama agreed to language supporting a goal of keeping the world's average temperature from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit).

 

I feel better already.

18 Ooops, we fucked up.

19 There is a ton of bureaucracy associated with the first stimulus.  Our school district has over $2.5 million to spend.  However, before it can be spent, they have to send a list of things to a federal beancounter for approval.  So far, we've only spend dribs and drabs.  It ain't stimulating jack.

20 It's nice to know that come September when I am eating whats left of my mac and cheese boxes, there are new dog parks where we all can hunt our main course for Thanksgiving.

The cure for our current economic crisis is so simple, even I can figure it out.

Tax, tort, and regulatory relief!

I don't understand what the fuss is about?  Who says we're out of money?  Just order the Treasury to go to 110% on the printing presses.

What?  The engineers say 110 possible but not recommended?

Fuck 'em.  Tell them to go to 110 on the presses!

25

I want to be European!!

I hope that's true. When the shit hits the fan, they'll have someplace to go...like the Loyalists during the American Revolution. It's either leave or into a trench cuz they ain't staying here where they can keep spewing their poison.

Of course, Europe ain't going to be so hot in a couple of generations. Hmmm. Looks like the lefties aren't going to have a rock to hide under.

I hear Mars is nice most of the year... 

26
Ace is 100% right to draw parallels between this failed spending package and Bush's invasion of Iraq.

Obama said that the Stimulus "did what it was supposed to do." This is Obama's "Mission Accomplished" moment.

And Joe Biden admitted that they miscalculated and were under-informed. This is the admin's "crappy intelligence" moment.

The Republicans need to seize on Obama's Stimulus failure and Mission Nothing Accomplished, just like the Democrats did to Bush.

27 White House officials confirmed that Obama agreed to language supporting a goal of keeping the world's average temperature from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit).

How nice for him.

28

Obama agreed to language supporting a goal of keeping the world's average temperature from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit).

Obama signed a piece of paper that said he would like to keep THE FUCKING EARTH two degrees below what it is right now +2? 

Well, I just signed a piece of paper on my desk that said my goal is to keep the Earth's temperature from rising 10 degrees Celsius in the next ten years.  Damn, I'm good, and I feel so good about myself.

Typical lib shit, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.  How does shit like this make them feel bettter???

Oh, and Obama is one lucky muthafucka. Crude oil is falling and gas prices are dropping.

It's $2.39/gal here in the Boston area.

30 From my perspective here in the rural deep south it's starting to look like the bad old days .
 In quite a few of the small towns in my area at least since the Reagan era one got a sense of fairly general optimism . Small businesses doing fairly well, new trucks , cars, and tractors were seen in reasonably good numbers . People hauling boats for recreational fishing trips , hunters and their families frequenting local restaurants during deer and turkey season . I know it's anecdotal but that was the general feeling , American style optimism .
 Since the ascension of the Chicago messiah though all that positive energy has fuckin' vanished. Another year of this hope and change and my town and several others are going to resemble mill towns circa 1930 . That ain't a good thing , in fact , it's frightening to contemplate .
 I wish y'all morons the best of luck .

31 the democrats designed it so that the stimulus wouldnt kick in until next year.  as biden said "we didnt think it was this bad".  which means not only are they admitting to lying when they said it was "the worst economy since herbert hoover" for the last several years... it means they intentionally designed the massive stimulus to kick in later.  what happens next year?  elections.  what happens two years after that, (after 3 years of stimulus)?  more elections, and obama's 2nd term.  the fucksticks didnt care people were losing jobs, losing savings, losing their homes.  they cared about getting re-elected.  they put their own ambition above the american people.  as an aside, this is what got me irritated with people that wanted to crap on palin for resigning.  we have far too many politicians and far too few statesmen.

32 Crude oil is falling

That's 'cause the whole future is fucked.

33

What's Obama got justifying his refusal to admit error?

He's got an ego the size of the deficit he's saddling us with.  He'll NEVER admit that he was wrong about anything.

#26 - They've already started...  http://tinyurl.com/neamhb

34 Projected decline in future demand due to an even slower economy
=> lower oil prices.

35 In before Palin Steele/Poon/Seattle Slough come in and tell us that left-handed lesbian circus performers of certain ethnic backgrounds have never done better than under Obumblenomics.

And I hereby decry myself as racist.

36

This is no accident, comrade.  This is a deliberate attempt by the Dems to panic people into agreeing to spend even more money so they can lock in their programs and goals.  The original stimulus was deliberately designed NOT to spend too much money this year.  IIRC, over 80% of the stimulus money is to be spent in 2010, 11 and 12 - just in time to buy votes for the congressional mid-terms and the next presidential election. 

Of course, the Dems have majorities in Congress and Congress holds the purse strings - they can do anything they want.  They own this mess, its theirs. 

37 The other Senatorial turncoat is now an official Democrat... until he loses in November.

I have a sneaking feeling Ace that Arlen won't make it out of the primary.

38 “...a bit too small,” said Laura Tyson...

How too small was it to be off by over 5 million net jobs after just 5 months??? Seriously, how much more would they have had to spend to make their plan work? Perhaps it was so big their heads would have exploded if they even began to know what they were talking about.

39 "And when is the patient looking like he might die? September, it seems."

Maybe September, maybe December, maybe early 2010. Do a little Googling and you'll find snippets of the US State Department issuing directives to our overseas embassies to load up on local currency, enough for a year and also snippets about Goldman Sachs loading up on December 2009 gold. It would suggest that our dollar is fucked.

There is some serious shit about to hit the fan and I think the Lightworker and his minions know it.

They're ratcheting up the witch hunt on oil speculators again.

44

because the money was being spent on other things and infrastucture was not a priority.

Those "other things" being Democrat pork-patronage give aways that anyone with a functioning cerebral cortex knew would be useless. The stimulus bill was an abomination, and the GOP better find someone pretty damn quick who will say so in unwavering terms.

45 People kept saying, "There's an upturn around the corner!" They're not saying that much these days. It looks like we're going to be in the horse latitudes well into 2010 if not beyond, and there's still lots of bad shit waiting to drop. The public-sector pension bomb has yet to explode (but it will, it will); there's still a lot of slack in the housing market; and China has been playing very fast and loose with their own banking system, and some of those tricks are about to explode in their faces like a trick cigar.

My advice? Pay down your debt as much as you possibly can, even if it means scrimping on non-essentials. I think that people have been operating on the assumption until now that this was simply a storm that would pass, but it may be that we're going to be living this way for a good long while. A 12% unemployment rate may become a permanent fixture of the economy, barring some miracle I can't forsee right now.

46 We can't possibly know if the stimulus is working because they've barely spent any of the money. The criticism that this was a backloaded bill and won't do anything in the short term was real and the dems ignored this to get a chance to fund their pet projects.

Now that money still hasn't been spent they want another stimulus that would certainly be backloaded, and hence couldn't help anything now either.

I'm starting to think I could give the guys 5 one dollar bills in exchange for a c-note by convincing them that 5 is greater than one. Idiots.

47 Oh OH OH! CALL ON ME! I know!
Why don't we cancel the unspent portion of spendulus, and make it into real stimulus?

What do you mean I'M CRAZY!?

48
Are you absolutely sure, I mean would you wager your treasure and everything thats dear to you, that Bush won't be blamed for this?

You know that the Obamaphants will find a way.  Somehow.

You know it's true.

And Sheriff Joe?  Well, you won't be seeing him on the Sunday shows any more.

49 They're ratcheting up the witch hunt on oil speculators again.

Only a year after they saved us from a global oil shortage too by ratcheting up the price and lowering demand before it exhausted supply. No gratitude I say.

50

Economics? Hey, all I know is, Nestle's makes the very best... chooooocolaaate (snap).

51 Just wait until Weimar levels of inflation kicks in. Then things should get interesting

52
It failed.

What's so difficult to understand? As a economic stimulus, it failed miserably.

As a pork-laden spending bill, it was a complete success.

53 Dammit! We can't keep up the enchantedness carrying the water for Obama forever!

And yes, we do indeed have a Democrat governor.

This fits better here:

“It appears that the Republican Party leadership in the Congress has made a decision that they want to deny President Obama success, which means, in my mind, they are rooting against the country, as well,” the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman told WAMU radio host Diane Rehm on Tuesday morning, promoting his new book, “The Waxman Report.”

link at GWP

58 The stimulus money hasn't been spent but unemployment and the market are worse than "anybody" anticipated.  Why?  Cause people are looking at what the stimulus will do and they're pulling back on investing.

It's not intended to stimulate anything.  It's intended to transfer money from the taxpayer to the government.

59 How long before Pelosi (the most probable author of StimPack I) gets tossed under the bus?

Myself, I see a scam when I see one. I have three bridges with "Bridge Closed" signs on them in my area. Not one sign of work being performed. Five f*&king months and not one ounce of labor, not one yard of cement or asphalt has been laid or poured. If I was the Chinese gov't holding American debt I'd be on the phone with these deadbeat pretenders arranging terms of repayment. With interest. A whole lot of interest.

60

Forgive this question if it was asked and answered earlier.  Where in the fuck does Obama think he is going to find another trillion dollars for another stimulus on top of cap and trade and helthcare reform? Who are his economic advisors? Why do they get to do drugs like crack and work for the federal government but I can't?

I said back in February: when the Stimulus Act fails, the Democrats will blame the Republicans (Snowe, Collins, and former (R) Specter) for making it too small.

65 Ace,

Didn't you also argue back then:

"Help me! Help me! We're going to DIE! Pass the stimulus!!!!"

66 Forgive this question if it was asked and answered earlier.  Where in the fuck does Obama think he is going to find another trillion dollars for another stimulus on top of cap and trade and helthcare reform?

69 Christoph, Ace never argued for the porkulus.  He did argue for TARP, but never "ARRA".

70

The U.S. should consider drafting a second stimulus package focusing on infrastructure projects

Um, there is nothing, that would be not one single thing, preventing the Democrats from re-writing the law to release a bunch of funds immediately for infratstructure projects.

These people are so dishonest it is almost as if they have to lie in order to get elected or something...

71 What is interesting is that Europe is making noise about cutting taxes to stimulate the economy. Further, green shoots are appearing in other parts of the world. I read recently that the businesses that are seeing some growth are those that are concentrating on international opportunities. From my anecdotal position as a small business person, this certainly seems true as I have two international contracts pending.

The US has done exactly the opposite of what was needed in order to spur growth. I suppose the good news is that we have learned a valuable lesson in six months. If a second stimulus is passed, I guess we won't learn that lesson for another decade. I just hope we don't need WWIII to get us out of the second Great Depression.

72 Is the goal to destroy the US economy? Then I would have to agree, we need one more bomb. Make it bigger.

73

I sent angry letters to both my Senators concerning the bullshit "stimulus" bill, that the asswipes didn't even bother to read prior to voting on . Everything I told them would happen has happened, but any idiot with two synapses could have predicted that. I hope they are beaten to a pulp with that bill when election time rolls around. Won't affect my vote, I never voted for them anyway, they're frigging Democrats *spit*.

74 "There’s nothing that we would have done differently." Get that ready for 2010 campaign commercials.  Posted by ace.

The commercial writes itself.  Show video clip of Biden saying "We misread the economy."  Next clip is Obama saying "There's nothing that we would have done differently."  Hell, make it now and drive that home!

75 ^{"Remember how the media always added "It has been x days since George Bush declared the end of major operations in Iraq" every time they ran a story about troops or Iraqi civilians dying."}

That dick Olbermann is still ending his worthless program with this sneer every single night six months after Bush left office.

Think about that.

76 Another trillion of unfundable spending being considered, long-term interest rates, stocks and private employment hardest hit. Die capitalist infrastructure, die!

77 Shibumi , maybe you can pick up some stalking tips from that urban hunter dude . I think he's in Detroit too.

78 Hey "O"bummer I hear Iran's looking for a new Community Organizer to staple some fliers up.


But remember,  Jesus Christ was also a Community Organizer.

79 The gasoline isn't working on the raging inferno?
Plan B- switch to kerosene ,and lots of it.
The GOP need to do only 2 things- A) Draft non-criminals to run in 2010 and B) Just have 1 slogan- We're not them.

80

You have to wonder if these clowns actually believe themselves.  Who can actually be that stupid?

If they're not that stupid, they have something else in mind they don't think they can sell for its virtues.

81

Obama and his fellow dumbfucks on the left know of only one way to address the crumbling economy: raise taxes and funnel money into their supporter's coffers.

Cut spending? No fucking way.

Reduce corporate tax rates? No fucking way.

Tap our natural resources like all other sane nations? No fucking way.

Give small businesses incentives to hire and expand? No fucking way.

Stop illegal aliens from bankrupting our hospitals? No fucking way.

DNC: We will however consider a Mayan ritual dance that was used to ask the gods for a good harvest. Other than that we're raising taxes on those that still have money.

82

Since the ascension of the Chicago messiah though all that positive energy has fuckin' vanished

Which is exactly the way they want it. When is the last time anyone in a communist country looked happy to you?

The jackboot of government on your neck tends to sour your outlook on life...

83 Cut payroll taxes!?!  But that would take money away from the government.  The problem is that government doesn't have enough money now, you stupid effing conservative idiot.

If you cut taxes, there will be less revenue.  It's Economics 101.  Instead, we should be raising taxes as high as possible.  The higher the taxes, the greater the revenue!

84 Cut payroll taxes? In the liberal mind this would only result in making the rich richer.  They would contend these evil business owners would just keep the extra money and not hire any additional employees.

85 I love how the Libs tell us that the private sector's greedy when it is not even close in comparison to how greedy our politicians are.


It's like a game to these people and at least Jimmy Carter will now be known as the 2nd worst POTUS.

86 Where in the fuck does Obama think he is going to find another trillion dollars for another stimulus on top of cap and trade and helthcare reform?

He's going to have the Treasury issue new bonds (debt).  When no one buys these bonds, he will have the Ben Bernanke at the Fed buy them.  And then he will have Bernanke go down to the Fed basements and leave the printing presses on long enough so they can pay for for those bonds.

Can you say hyperinflation, 12 Inch Middle Finger?

87

Oh, here is a timely nugget posted at The Corner:

James Pethokoukis links to a GAO report that surveyed 16 states and the District of Columbia to see how stimulus funds are being spent. The study found that 90 percent of the stimulus funds spent so far have gone toward bailouts for fiscally irresponsible state governments.

 

Shocker!

89 "There’s nothing that we would have done differently."

To admit otherwise would mean gasp! the Republicans were right! And we should have taken a more cautious approach than to load mega tons of money into the worlds largest shotgun then fire it at our supporters. (While they applaud madly) You mean we should have maybe used a more precise weapon and aimed it at the economy!? Clear heresy!!

99 We have nothing to fear from an Obama presidency...

100 More firearms analogy, 1910 Africa
We see the big assed cape buffalo coming to run us down. We've got two guys a gun and enough shot powder and ball for one shot.

Guy A Says SHOOT the buffalo.
Guy B Says Shoot over his head and scare him off.

Guy B grabs the gun declares "I WON" blows his wad over the buffalo's head and Waits, waits, waits, and when the buffalo's hasn't slowed and is only a few yards off says.

1 "Maybe we'd better reload." and
2 "There’s nothing that I would have done differently."

101 Yup, if you think health care is expensive now, just wait until it's free.  Like Mark Steyn pointed out today, America is a safety valve for the failed Canadian Health care system.  If we go down that slippery slope, we will take 2 countries down.

102

I just hope we don't need WWIII to get us out of the second Great Depression.

No, I think Civil War II would restore the nation far more than World War III.  America's got a cancer, and the only cure is conservative chemotherapy.

What would they counter with?  Layabout welfare parasites?  Women who can't find/hold a man?  GLBT Studies Professors?  palin steele?

109 Democrats who control the levers of power in Washington are divided over whether to push for more deficit spending to end the recession and stem job losses, complicating the possibility of a second stimulus bill.

Yes, indeed. When Bush's tax cuts finally end, and new taxes from crap & trade and ObamaCare kick in, they'll conspire to strangle the recovery in its cradle.

Then what, you bunch of cluefrack elitist pricks? suck even more cash out of the credit market?

just now getting back to you from the other thread, sorry. the last 26.2 i did, other than just practice runs, was White Rock in Dallas. Two Marine Corps with my daughter before that. I'm old and tired now, and run half-marathons. 16 in the last 5 years. Lots of miles during the week, although I am not crazy about running in the burning hell that is Dallas in July and August. My wife makes me take my crackberry with me when I run so when I get heatstroke, I can call her and tell her to bring a gurney.And you?

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
William Shakespeare 

I have nothing to add. I just like the full quote. It gets abused often. The Bard is my nihilistic guru.

117 Unless he loses on 18 May 2010 in the Dem primary. Would he try a Lieberman and run independent? a 3-way race makes a much more interesting campaign.

PA has a sore loser law that would prevent Arlen from running in the general if he loses in the primary.

118  Posted earlier in the wrong thread. Sorry.

Obama is an idiot. Here's how I can tell.

1. He let Nancy Pelosi waste the "Bush recession" by letting her pass a very expensive stimulus package that provided no general stimulus to the U.S. economy and which increased regulations that will harm all sorts of businesses. Now there is little chance for a 2nd stimulus package and no chance to help the economy come out of the recession before 2010.

2. The Bush tax cuts expire in 2010. Obama is going to preside over the largest tax increase in history and then sign other tax increases into law because that's what the Democrat congress will pass. Democrats believe with all their hearts that taxes are too low. Remember how many people used to not owe any federal taxes? They will be back on the rolls and blaming Obama.

3. Sooner or later Obama will have a big foreign policy blunder that the MSM will have to cover. I'm betting on Venezuela attacking Honduras. Obama of course would do nothing then, except more talk. However, there's what he already said that has encouraged an invasion. When he tries to make peace with fine words alone he will fail and he will be widely seen as having failed. The MSM will cover with great fanfare his every effort to make peace and then blame someone else for every failure but that's not going to be enough to help him. Right now Obama could stop Chavez with a few words but he seems to be too dumb to know what those words are.

4. Obama bailed out GM and Chrysler and gave the UAW control of them. Those companies are still in bankruptcy, still shedding jobs and will not be profitable again for many years if ever. Sure the stockholders got screwed but the unions are soon going to find out how much fun it is running a company that has a negative cash flow. Obama should have stuck his worst enemy with running those companies, not one of his least loyal groups of supporters.

Obama and his MSM may be able to fool most of the people most of the time. Most of the time is not all of the time however and once someone sees Obama as an idiot, he has no way to change their mind back. He is, after all, really an idiot. That's why his college transcripts will never be officially released.

Obama has some smart people working for him but he's too dumb to shut up and let them program his teleprompter.

119 Unless he loses on 18 May 2010 in the Dem primary. Would he try a Lieberman and run independent?

Awesome analysis on Peggy!  You are a true wordsmith--you out-peggyed Peggy!  Ha!

122 The job losses so far have been in the 80:20 range for men:women, yet NOW somehow managed to work their backroom liberal magic and get the stimulus funds biased 60:40 with men, being the greatest job loss segment, getting screwed disproportionately to the actual job losses.

Obviously, the media has yet to give this story much play.

Mikeyslaw, I don't know how you run in that heat.  You are one tough hombre!I don't do well in heat or humidity.  I've run maybe 18 or 20  marathons in the last 16 years (kind of lost track).  I ran Boston in 2002 which was really cool.  My P.R. was my Boston qualifier.  I've done NY and Chicago and last year, my husband and I  ran Marine Corps.  I did a marathon this past May (horrible race) and a half about a month ago.  I just signed up for a fall marathon and am doing an overnight relay (Ragnar) at the end of this month.  The half is really my favorite distance, so much easier to train for and not the full out sprint a 5k is.  I've met some really great people running, and my husband and I belong to an awesome running club.  Do you run alone?

124

You get half an hour with a hooker. You blow your load in three minutes. You just wasted 27 minutes of "whore time".

Just putting it in Aos Lifestyle(tm) terms. And Biden too.

125 Focus on infrastructure projects?

LMAO!  Another trillion dollar stimulus where seven percent is spent by the end of the year, if they are lucky, and nothing more than that in the snow belt until Spring of 2010.

The window is closing fast for the Dems and I wager that that nothing other than a huge tax cut is going to save them in 2010.

126 So you're saying funding overseas abortions is not considered infrastructure?

127 I wager that that nothing other than a huge tax cut is going to save them in 2010.

Then they're doomed, because the idea of you spending your money any ole way you want is anathema to them.

128

You have to wonder if these clowns actually believe themselves.  Who can actually be that stupid?

It doesn't matter what they believe, its what their supporters believe. Go to You Tube and type in Obama is gonna pay for my gas. You'll get to see (Florida Obama Supporter 10/30/200 a video of a  woman who says:  "I won't have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage... if I have him he's gonna help me." 

Yeah maybe all his supporters are not like her but there are plenty of people who are still buying his bull shit that its all Bush's fault.

129

"More cowbell."

130

Remember how the media always added "It has been x days since George Bush declared the end of major operations in Iraq" every time they ran a story about troops or Iraqi civilians dying?

They need to say x jobs lost since the Stimulus passed, in stories about the economy.

131

Here's the dumbest part --- thanks to all the enviro bullshit these assholes have been voting in for decades it takes years and years to advance any infrastructure project. 

30 years to get approval to build anything people actually need is not uncommon.  5-10 years for boondoggles that won't help anybody anyway is the norm.  Ask anybody at your local DOT how long it really takes to get approval.  For most projects, the actual construction time is way less than half of the environmental approval time.

These assholes all picture themselves as FDR, and thanks to their own bullshit, they can never be FDR, simply because they can't get their own projects through the bullshit system they created.  Worse than that -- they are so out of touch they don't even know it.

132

A Republican could easily send a message like that-just not the dumb ones that appear to currently be leading the show.  as to obama, that economic plan sounded so good when he was talking it through in Bill Ayers' living room.  what excuse is there for that David Brooks admired brain trust of economic experts to fall for it?  have we heard from Volcker lately?

133 just read that Grassley is hunkering down with Baucus and working on a plan to roll the American public, help Democrats and screw taxpayers.  of course, that's not how they wrote it up but don't count on the current Republican "pragmatists"

134 "Instead, we have taken the one bullet in our stimulus gun and fired it futilely into the air. at our own damn foot."

This is, of course, evidence that we may need to borrow more bullets.

135 borrow bullets ... AND walk with a limp, though Bar_ny could still shoot the other foot.

136 stimulus will never bring unemployment down or end a recession I hope they pass 5 more stimulus we will be so fucked up Jefferson Davis could be elected president

137 These leftist assholes will continue to deflect or redirect blame for the unprecedented catastrophic failure that was Pokulus. History will record this and other wanton and reckless acts by Obama and the Democrats as an attempted suicide. There is no other explanation for the self-destruction that has been wrought by these megalomaniacs. God have mercy on what's left of their souls.

138 ...err...Porkulus...

139 If they screwed up this badly when they were confident of what they were doing, can you imagine what they will do now that they're desperate?

140  i don't really understand why the libs don't get it. look, says i, if you are going to stimulate the economy then you don't do it by giving grant money to research the smell of swine farms. nor do you do it by giving money to some gov program that gives free tattoo removal to former gang members. spending billions on building a bridge is only a temporary job, and furthermore, the money generated by such a job is really a liability and is taking $$ from the private sector. not that obama the moron would understand any of this, but perhaps someone should tell him that it's the private sector that employs most of the people in the country, and if he wants to stimulate the economy he better let them keep more of thier $$$ so they can CREATE JOBS! hello? is this guy a moron or WHAT? could we honestly have a bigger idiot in the white house? his name isn't barack obama, it's bankrupt obama.
moron.

Volker is chewing through his arm to get out of this bed.

Buffett has realized that he IS going to be significantly poorer in a few years and is nursing a huge case of buyers remorse.
