   The Cost of the Porkulus: $233,000 per job created or “saved.” $30,000 in federal debt for every household in America.

   This is what LGM and the other socialists are cheering for.

   The Socialist Party candidate for President of the US , Norman Thomas, said this in a 1944 speech:”The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of “liberalism,” they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” He went on to say: “I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Party has adopted our platform.”

   “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”

   They’ve created opportunities for Americans who haven’t been able to buy in an artificially inflated market.

   I have fond memories of the early-90′s recession that caused DC-area home prices to fall. Bought my first house in 1992. Of course, we’d been saving money through the housing bubble of the 80′s, and we were positioned to take advantage of a buyers’ market.

   I used to tell my 13-year-old to save his money so that when opportunity came, he’d be ready to take advantage. “Potter isn’t selling! Potter’s buying!” What do I tell the kid now? Saving is for suckers because the government will take care of you — and Obamaflation will be wiping out all savings anyway.

   You are assuming that he wants to fix the economy. Why assume that when it is obvious that he wants to remake our economy to fit his worldview and I don’t think he views the world the same as you and I.

    Though I do recall hearing Pres say, ‘Responsible Home Owners’ at his town hall meeting in Ft Myers.

    He offered that qualification, but did not say explicitly what he would do, or not do, for irresponsible homeowners.

    Now there’s a fair question -

    Strings are being placed on banks. Mr. Pres you want to help responsible homeowners, what about the irresponsible homeowners, and how do you determine who’s who? What strings are you placing on the homeowners you help?

    The purveyor of “hopeychange” has nothing on the HOPE I have that things he does will not be permanent.

    No. But they will when we send them home from Washington. Obama’s only been president for 3 weeks, and already people are asking if this is a failed presidency:

    Has Barack Obama’s presidency already failed? In normal times, this would be a ludicrous question. But these are not normal times. They are times of great danger. Today, the new US administration can disown responsibility for its inheritance; tomorrow, it will own it. Today, it can offer solutions; tomorrow it will have become the problem. Today, it is in control of events; tomorrow, events will take control of it. Doing too little is now far riskier than doing too much. If he fails to act decisively, the president risks being overwhelmed, like his predecessor. The costs to the US and the world of another failed presidency do not bear contemplating.

    What is needed? The answer is: focus and ferocity. If Mr Obama does not fix this crisis, all he hopes from his presidency will be lost. If he does, he can reshape the agenda. Hoping for the best is foolish. He should expect the worst and act accordingly.

    Yet hoping for the best is what one sees in the stimulus programme and – so far as I can judge from Tuesday’s sketchy announcement by Tim Geithner, Treasury secretary – also in the new plans for fixing the banking system. I commented on the former last week. I would merely add that it is extraordinary that a popular new president, confronting a once-in-80-years’ economic crisis, has let Congress shape the outcome.

    genso, you’re exactly right. Obama’s worldview is the “Social Gospel”, a.k.a. the “Socialist Gospel“.

    “Liberation Theology” is Marxism disguised as Christianity.

    The Communists are winning, and have been winning this war, for the past 50 years. Slowly, but surely, they’ve been steadily infiltrating and conducting subversion against our country via age-segregated, state-run education and the use of anti-Christian aesthetics in the cinema. We’re merely seeing the next phase of their operations. The next phase: now that the socialists have taken the government, they’ll use the supporting population to stifle dissent. Under the guise of preserving the peace, keeping “the Union together”, as Lincoln did, they’ll begin to stifle free speech and free press. The supporting population (wittingly or unwittingly used as Communist surrogates), will demand support for Obama and the government in general. This will get heated. Increases in Hate Speech/Crime legislation will ensue.
    Or, in their own words:
    “By psychopolitics our chief goals are effectively carried forward. To produce a maximum of chaos in the culture of the enemy is our first most important step. Our fruits are grown in chaos, distrust, economic depression and scientific turmoil. … With it you can erase our enemies as insects… Use the courts, use the judges, use the Constitution of the country, use its medical societies and its laws to further our ends. … And bring to Earth, through Communism, the greatest peace Man has ever known.” ~ Lavrenti Beria, Lenin University, in a 1933 address to a group of American/Marxist Psychology Students

Dr. Taitz has a successful dentistry practice in Orange County, California, and is a licensed attorney and real estate agent. Dr. Taitz speaks five languages. Dr. Taitz’ experiences under the totalitarian Communist regime convinced her that this is a path that she would rather not see the United States take. Therefore, Orly is committed to doing everything in her power to prevent such a disastrous mistake, and to defend the rights and freedoms that exist for all citizens in the United States under the Constitution. Dr. Taitz has filed a second lawsuit associated with the Obama Eligibility Crisis that is currently before the Supreme Court and is working on a third lawsuit featuring active duty and retired military as plaintiffs. With Dr. Taitz’ help, Orly’s Keyes lawsuit has been successfully cloned in Florida and in Washington State, where other complaints are active.

    I think the simple fact here is that Obama’s mission (world view) is to put the USA into a position that leaves no alternative but to join a world union/government.

    There are two different groups who are intent on one world government. They are:

    1) Islamic Jihadists
    2) Socialists/Communists

    Those two groups are working together. Russia is an observer state of the “57 state” Organisation of the Islamic Conference

    Yes, Obama said:

    …uh, because, you know, uh-uh, it is just wonderful to be back in Oregon, and over the last 15 months we’ve travelled, uh, to every corner of the United States. Uh, I’ve now been in fifty – … seven states, I think one left to go. Uh, one left to go. Uh, Alaska and Hawaii I was not allowed to go to, even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not, uh, justify it.

    Note:
    1) “fifty-seven states” – Goof, or intentional?
    2) “one left to go” – does Obama plan on adding the USA to the OIC?
    3) “not allowed to go to” – Who Really Runs Obama’s Campaign, and What is Their Agenda?

    Yes, Obama said:

    But my journey is part of a larger journey- one shared by all who’ve ever sought to apply the values of their faith to our society. It’s a journey that takes us back to our nation’s founding, when none other than a UCC church inspired the Boston Tea Party and helped bring an Empire to its knees.

    Errah, Michelle; all these people were probably prescreened and given their scripts for their parts well in advance. Before we start with this set of pawns and peel back the layers on each of their onions; could you give us an update on the healthcare leaches in ellicot city md from last year. Were they flown in for the event or were their enough kool aid drinkers locally?

    a woman named Henrietta Hughes stood up to decry the mortgage crisis and ask Obama for his personal help.

    Here’s the beauty… theres a mortgage crisis??

    I sold my home 7 years ago when I first noticed the housing bubble appear in my market. I made a VERY healthy profit.

    I never bought into the bubble or started flipping houses which may or may not have been a good thing.

    I just closed on a new home this week. It looks like I have bought at the bottom of the market, because prices have already started to rebound and interest prices have jumped a 1/2% since I locked in my rate two weeks ago. (After dropping 1.5%) The seller (corporate not individual), the realtors, the mortgage company, and the title company were all amazed at the deal that we struck. And almost all of them said they wished they were able to get out of THEIR mortgages and buy into mine. So unless a personal disaster hits me, I will be making a very healthy profit on this one too.

    Its all research, timing and sacrifice people. Quit looking for the government to do your due diligence.

    Errah, I didn’t see if there was alot of mention made about the RV manufactures in Elkhart Indiana and Obama’s position on RV’s. Is he proposing that this class of vehicles is to go green or reduce their carbon footprints with the stimulus bill? Al Gwhore was nowhere to be found that day. I guess the administration is supporting RVs in their current size shape and efficieny as an american industry we want to preserve or he wouldn’t have gone there. Is Obama going to invent/mandate the Prius Winnabago? On a similar note the county council for the peoples republic of Montgomery County Maryland recently passed a law to restrict people from parking their RV in front of their homes. So while you may be able to buy one and license one of these vehicles in the state of maryland from the guys in Indiana you’ll have to go to another county or state to get it and use it. What’s next, outlawing my 95 Bronco?

    And over 50% will no longer pay taxes!

    That’s the tipping point.

    Probably, but that 50% WILL pay higher taxes yet-higher taxes on goods and services and higher prices on everything they buy. They will be like those fools in Britain who swoon over their National Health Service and pay nearly $4.00 a gallon in taxes on gasoline to pay for it–an Obama goal I believe. The Brits and Euros have high prices, high unemployment, have 99 year mortgages on a home IF they qualify.

    So what is next Mr. President, should we stop brushing our teeth to be more like your beloved EuroTrash? The Obamas, Congress Critters and Government functionaries get the best medical care in the world on our dime. Will we? Damn but I hate Liberals.

    And the repubs seem to think that if they can stop the stimulation of the American economy that they are doing something good. Never seen logic like that ever before.

    And the people on this site are concerned about debt – we’ve been increasing debt for the last 8 years, and none of you had a problem with it.

    BTW, I have had a lot of problems with deficit spending over the past 40 years whether it was a Democrat-controlled Congress or not. After all Congress is the branch of government that controls the purse strings — so don’t try to stick it on the POTUS for the last 8 years!

    Here’s something I never thought I would say. You are absolutely right, Teddy Kennedy. People in Indiana voted to eliminate the RV industry in much the same way people in the west voted to shut down the oil and gas industry. People here in NM wonder why the state budget is expected to have such a huge shortfall. The answer is decreased revenues from oil and gas drilling and production and they are the ones who asked for it.

    Yes I can see you are having problems with basic logic. You see if you employ a guy for 6 months to build a bridge, in six months he becomes unemployed again. But now you have also increase the debt. Nice bridge. But it will probably fall apart before you pay for it and that guy is still unemployed because his company can’t afford to pay for him anymore due to the high taxes levied to pay for said bridge.

    I agree with your thought, but the only thing I don’t find logical is a federal worker building a bridge in 6 months time. No way will any federal worker construct a bridge (small or large) in under 4 years tops. Federal sponsored make-work projects are among some of the most inefficient processes known to man.

    How about creating a new green energy industry – how long would that take – 3 months?

    I dont care about GREEN energy. I dont care about conservation. I dont care about ANY environmental BS, except for when persons or companies dump/bury chemicals. I dont care about the Prebble field mouse or the pink salmon that cant swim to Bismark North Dakopta before it dies. I want to run out of all fossil fuels BEFORE I incur costs for “new/alternative’ energies that I dont need today. I pretty sure everyone alive today will all be DEAD long before we run out of them though.

    So why has it taken so long to build on the world trade center site?

    Politics, infighting, architects, Wall Street whores, engineering issues with the Hudson river, logistics??? Oh yeh…. Bush planted land mines so the workers cant get to the site without the bomb squad clearing a path every morning. dang, hes good – no one saw that coming…
