Jeremy

this is awesome. J, you and I are def on the same page. Obama is going to kill the bread of butter of america: small businesses.

Well obviously being under the watchful eyes of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Mr Brown over here in England I cant really comment on economics etc etc

I can however spot sarcasm a mile away with one eye closed as it is something I pride myself on having more than my fair share of and so does our wonderful leader here at PAL.

Great post Jeremy.

Nice one J, I don't even want to get started on politics today. If anyone think our country is headed in the right direction, you need your asses kicked.

Dude come one, it's surprise this President has the lowest approval rating of anyone after 100 days. We're in trouble man, but there is light ahead!

Just be happy Bush is gone. A retarded monkey would be better in there then Bush. I think Obama is gonna need some time to fix all the shit he left behind.

Agreed Bush was an idiot, however Barry has been in office for over 6 months and spent more money than every other president combined for the last 200 years with no explanation to "we the people" on how this is going to get paid back, or how printing trillions of fiat dollars is not going to cause hyperinflation or a complete economic collapse. Let's not even talk about the true unemployment numbers in the U.S. right now.......

At some point Obama will have to take some responsibility for his actions and realize he can only blame Bush so long. More people in this country should stop thinking the ideas of people like Ron Paul are "right wing extremism", and realize they are the foundation of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness as a U.S. citizen.

I think all the Obamamessiah supporters who voted for this "change" got fleeced.

I was an Obama supporter, but I do agree that the stimulus and bailouts were bad ideas that only push resolution and responsibility for the current economic collapse further into the future.

All we're doing is borrowing against our future by printing more money and devalueing the dollar. And wasn't the liberal distribution of credit to those who couldn't afford it and/or pay it back the main problem here anyway?

So how does replicating this (i.e. throwing money into companies that will just burn through it and eventually collapse) solve anything?

Unfortunately there's a lot of people here in the U.S. who just thought our government had this $800 billion lying around to "help" us out, there were tons of people who didn't realize that this money is being taken from "we the people" and wasn't just sitting in a coffer waiting to be distributed.

You're not getting paid back. He was very clear - Doing nothing would have been far worse

Excellent post BTW.

I do have to give a lot of credit to Obama for one thing. He came to Canada on business not long after being elected and actually got Steven Harper to crack a smile and wave at people. (You know, cause monkey sees monkey does). You could tell Stevie had a certain stiffness in this whole experience. I suppose that's understandable. As an android, human connection is difficult to process.
