We are not amused Mr. President, Ms. Pelosi, Mr. Reid and Mr. Frank. All the vitriol and hatered you are spewing at the AIG Corporation is not going to distract us from the fact that you have just spent this country into bankruptcy for the foreseeable future and accomplished nothing in the process. Your hypocritical ranting and raving at "executives" and bonuses is not going to make us forget about your socialist agenda to seize control of the healthcare industry, the banking industry, to force economically unsound environmental policies on businesses that will raise costs for all Americans, your rollback of laws designed to keep us safe from terrorism, and your irresponsible continuation of the banking regulations that required a percentage of loans to be granted to those who could not afford them.
Obama has , up to very recently, been ripping down the economy and saying that government is "the only one" that can fix it. He didn't actually disown that statement yet, that only government can fix it... ( though he should reverse that idea )... but, trying to suddenly put a positive spin on the economy makes him come off as either hypocritical or a bit suspicious. When a politician "says" one thing and "acts" in the opposite manner, we have a leader who does not believe in his own words, and that is not a good thing. Obama needs to back up his statement about people staying positive about the economy by showing that "he" is positive about the economy by stopping all government bailouts and letting the market go through natural corrections based on capitalism, and simply and plainly remove barriers to freedom by cutting taxes across the board and letting people keep more of thier own money and thus boost consumption to new heights. If he did that, I would be cheering him on. but he's not doing that. We know he won't do that, because he doesn't really believe in a free market system and wants to control the economic outcome of everyone's lives so that he, in his own mind, can play the hero , can play the savior of the country and institute the sort of socialist ideas he deeply believes in. Recessions are cyclical and it will turn around regardless of Obama's and Pelosi's and Reid's hideous spending and ... , when it does eventually turn around Obama and his cohorts will lie about it by saying it was his stimulus package that caused the economy to rebound when in fact the so-called stimulus probably will be the cause of a "delay" in the economy rebounding.
