(we were so eager to get rid of Bush AND he was an exciting, promising candidate!) His predilection for "appeasement" didn't come through back then. He behaved like a stand-up guy with his speech on race. Who knew? Funny, now he's being criticized for not giving Georgie Bush credit for the "success" of the surge in his "tuning the page" speech.MPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-36303180302872579202010-09-04T07:12:44.085-07:002010-09-04T07:12:44.085-07:00I share the despair of Tim and Beach.

Most especially on progressive income tax. (What's more <b>Progressive</b> than that?) To me it's a no-brainer. Tax cut for the wealthy? That just means more for the banksters: bigger, fatter bank accounts benefit the financial industries. But put more money in the working man's wallets, meaning the middle class, and you see those bucks spent on mainstreet, not on wall street. When that happens, and only when that happens, will you see the investing class start hiring people, and making and selling goods & services. That's the Keynesian multiplier at work. But the multiplier does not work very well if you're pushing those funds into Iraq and Afghanistan. Where am I wrong? Someone please correct me.Vigilantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07640246609540057997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-85380576275782320392010-09-04T06:18:25.950-07:002010-09-04T06:18:25.950-07:00The American public are uninformed idiots on most ...The American public are uninformed idiots on most things with Iraq near the top of the list. Any attempt by Obama at the "Truth" would have been meet with more disinformation from the right-wing and disinterest from the majority.<br /><br />Obama should have laid out the truth, I just don't think it would have accomplished anything.Commander Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-24049199261016861672010-09-04T04:49:23.412-07:002010-09-04T04:49:23.412-07:00How to handle Iraq/Afghanistan:

He's screwed us on every possible move. <br />Here's the problem, Because of him the Pukes will take Majority in Congress. We may still retain the Senate but not by much. At that point he becomes a lame duck. That in of itself is bad,but even if we get someone in there 2012, they to would be a lame duck. <br />It really pisses me off that we had our chance and the Great Appeaser Blew it.He wants to go down in History as the One who got Health Care reform. A health care that's not worth shit and will be repealed anyway. Nice job No Drama.Timhttp://timsscaredstiff.comnoreply@blogger.com
