Obama is just touching the surface of the economic problem, but people have to remember that he inherited this whole mess. Who was in power for most of the last 8 years? Yup, big powerful GOP with with their big powerful W. So when I see Republican, Conservatives, and Fox News complaining about socialism and how everything unfair, I'm looking at a bunch of people who are crying from their own self-inflicted wounds. I'll take the advice of some Republican politicians in 2000 who told me this during this during the whole Bush/Gore mess..."Suck it up." So Michelle Malkin (Thank you Andrew for listening to her because I sure as hell won't), Fox News, and all of the baby Republicans and Conservatives can do the same thing...suck it up, losers. Be damn grateful that Obama is actually a decent human being who is extending an open hand. Because he doesn't have to do that with the Democratic party in control of the House and Senate. He can get bills passed without your approval or permission, just like how W. had the House and Senate at his feet. Karma tastes good doesn't it?
As for the people who are complaining that they keep up with their own personal finances and payments to their houses, who call the housing bill unfair. Yes, it is helping those who couldn't afford the house they bought in the first place, but like all of the other taxpayer money, it's going to go to places that a lot of people don't like. I didn't like how my money was going to fund a war(s) that I was completely against, but it happened anyway. Besides those of us who still have their job and are fine in their finances should breath a sigh of relief unlike the people who got themselves into their own financial messes. We are not idiots like those folks. We aren't living in a car and we can still afford food. Be happy and feel blessed that we still have shelter that is not being taken away by the bank. Those who got themselves into that mess have to start again and that's a lot harder than it is to do than say. Those gaining the money is a start, let's see if they can hold on to it.
I'm sorry, but Conservatives trying to be cool is like Christian rock. It just doesn't match to me. That I can't support a political party that thinks Sarah Palin is cool.
So is this the start of that new hip-hop suburban urban makeover that Steele wants to give the GOP? Because if it is, this start just sucks. Idiocy is just not cool.
Bahaha! You are joking right? Native American? I think you're confusing the type of "Indian" Jindai is. Last I heard, he was 100% Desi. You might want to go back and do a little research. As for the GOP and Jindai, did anyone on that side of the room get any excepts from Obama's speech last night? Jundai was just the wrong person to deliver a speech. He should seriously look at his own state before delivering some sound advice to the rest of the country. Last I heard, Louisiana wasn't exactly debt free, crime free, or poverty free either. The state could use some of that extra stimulus cash to help it's citizens. But of course, Jindai will probably say no to that money...or will he? Hmmmmmm. I was watching Vice-President Biden counter what Jindai said on the Early show today and I found myself agreeing with him. Republicans are still in the "do nothing" phrase compared to Obama who definitely appeared to be planning and working action. Something which is much better than nothing in my opinion. This is hardly the time to do nothing. I would love to see the GOP and Jindai give us a laundry list of what they would like to do to solve the economic problems. Yes, yes, I know tax cuts will be on that list. I watched the Obama speech and listened to it while I was working out last night. While the bold words made me question a few things, but otherwise I felt as optimistic and excited as the rest of the country. I feel pumped up and ready to work. Sorry GOP, Jindai was merely a shadow to Obama's spotlight.
Jindai is not Native American. Someone is looking like a loser this morning and it's not just the GOP or Jindai.
Is this the best the conservatives can do? Is this their best ammo against Obama? Following a conspiracy theory? Wow, conservatives are becoming quite small if this is the best they can do. I see no solutions to any problems facing the country now or anything enlightening from them so far. Keep going conservatives, we'll see how far you guys go with this crap.
Alright, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann saying "you be da man" just is not cool or hip or anything slightly remote to cool. It just makes her look so uncool. Putting in slang like "my bad" into any kind of speech just makes people who aren't in touch with that culture or click look really bad and even fake. It's interesting that the Democrats are regarding more highly in level of cool and they never had to use any slang at all. Republicans just stop trying to act cool. You guys end up look horrible instead.
