   It’s great to see the protests. Perhaps there is hope for the United States yet.

   When failure and irresponsibility are rewarded, MORE failure and irresponsibility will be the result. Too bad Leftists are too evil and stupid to “get” that.

   Sad fact: those in power don’t care and never will. By the time elections roll around most will have forgotten this, if they even knew about it to begin with.

    Jack Clark, 50, Gilbert, held a sign taller than he is that protested the stimulus. It read: “Personal Responsibility: RIP 2009.”

    Clark said he wanted to give the president a piece of his mind.

    “A lot of what’s happening here is people being irresponsible.”

    Way to go Jack. Only one thing I’d like to change. I’d change “irresponsible” to S-T-U-P-I-D for voting for this Marxist.

    Love the sign posted above too.

    Why does Brobama feel compelled to jet around the country to sign these things? Why not just stay in the White House (which he coveted so dearly) and do it?

    Perhaps he is trying to use up as much of that foreign oil as he can, while General Electric (you know, his advisor Jeffrey Immelt’s company) is building AIRFORCE NUMERO UNO, a giant reinforced glider with a 600 foot wingspan.

    He will be able to use prevailing winds to travel carbon dioxide free anywhere in the world. Plus, he is so loved worldwide, that escort flights of F-15’s (he’s canceling F-22’s, and 35’s) will be unnecessary…..and there will be rainbows, butterflies, and…unicorns! What a great global climate change leader he will become!

    I really wished I had remembered Barry and the carbon express was going to be here today. I saw carbon footprint 1 taking off and kicked myself in the head.

    Oh well, I guess some of us independant business owners who still believe in the capitalist system of free market enterprise were too busy trying to entice customers with products and services at lowered rates, just to get a pulse rate back in the economy, instead of watching pure charlatry in action.

    They did this in Mesa becasue Harry Mitchell (D) may be out next election. Prett much the rest around Phoenix are R-strongholds.

    All though I would have loved to have been there with a sign.

    It would have been a Pig in FDR dress.

    It would have said “Instead of a Capatilist Pig, I am just going to Pork You!”

    Russian Prime Minister Vladamir Putin has said the US should take a lesson from the pages of Russian history and not exercise “excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the state’s omnipotence”.

    “In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state’s role absolute,” Putin said during a speech at the opening ceremony of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.”[Snip.]

    Sounding more like Barry Goldwater than the former head of the KGB, Putin said, “Nor should we turn a blind eye to the fact that the spirit of free enterprise, including the principle of personal responsibility of businesspeople, investors, and shareholders for their decisions, is being eroded in the last few months. There is no reason to believe that we can achieve better results by shifting responsibility onto the state.”

    Wow, even former communists repudiate Obama and Pelosi’s crap. Thanks Mike.I would have Putin as president rather than our current regime.

    Almost correct. The sad truth is that ALL of this is people being irresponsible! Irresponsible voters. Irresponsible legislators and the local, state and federal level. Irresponsible lenders. Irresponsible borrowers.

    Irresponsible is a big long word describing a big group of people.

    Easy, he’s still campaining because he does not know how to govern.

    A Stim You Louse Plan worth backing:

    Every citizen gets $1000 times (their FICO score minus 700).

    For people that owe money to the government this schedule
    >-$40,000 (FICO < 300) They go barefoot and get laughed at.

    between -$40,000 and -$20,000 (FICO 300 to 500), they get to live in public housing and take buses.

    between -$19,999 and $0 (FICO 500 to 700), they get to pay it to the taxman.

    Maybe that would get them to pay their bills and quit borrowing

    BroBama did cut his visit to Phoenix short by one hour-not enough Illegal Alien babies to kiss at Dobson High I guess.

    Police estimated them at 2000. That’s how it got the attention of one newspaper. Unfortunately, they reported it at 500.

    Yup….Barry O is going to find there’s a lot more to this job than he thought. Not only does the press ignore these wonderful protests, they conveniently forgot to mention the “surge” of our troops in Afghanistan. Yup…Obamn is way over his head.
