We got it wrong Obama to cut spending

Hopefully he won't follow Barney Franks' 25% reduction in miltitary spending!
I distinctly heard Obama that the troops would get a raise in pay and benefits. He better not foul this up....

If he doesnt come through with this promise, he'll be a one term President.

All that really matters is how the economy is doing in 2012. If the economy is doing well, regardless of whether or not it was cause of Obama, he will win easily. If the economy is still doing bad, regardless of whether or not it was cause of Obama, he will lose. That's the main reason I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt on the stimulus plan. He's the one that will benefit the most if it works and stands to lose the most if it tanks.

We'll be a 3rd world country in 4 years. Probably have over 15 trillion in bailouts by then.

True.

If you spent a million dollars a day...

every single day since Jesus was born...

you still wouldn't have spent as much...

as Congress did in the Stimulus Bill.

Now, let's quadruple that amount...

and we'll have the cost of the Iraq War.

We have a better chance of seeing Cannon Shell leading cheers after a Southern Cal touchdown this season than we have of seeing a con prevail in 2012.

Can't imagine the people would send another con to the White House so soon after the Bush-Cheney-Cox economic horror show...

They have to find a candidate first...maybe they can dig up Reagan and do a Weekend at Bernies with him? Probably get at least 25% of the vote..

As the Obama supporters would say 'we've just gotten through one month'.The opening credits have just run. The beginning of this movie sets up all the blood, starving and violence at the end. Like comparing Rocky Horror Show to The Exorcist. IMO. and in the words of Obama's Atty General 'we are all cowards'...

Funny thing is that I heard the same thing said after Carter beat Ford. "Anyone would be better than Ford and the Republican party was dead." If the misery index is greater than 20 (and I think it will be much higher)come 2012, then the dems will be running for cover.

Some lawmakers challenged the economic projections contained in the budget as far too optimistic.

The budget forecasts that the economy, as measured by the gross domestic product, would only shrink by 1.2 percent this year and then snap back and grow by a solid 3.2 percent in 2010, followed by several years of annual growth of over 4 percent.

That's more optimistic than most private forecasts, and comes despite a new government report showing the economy contracted by 6.2 percent in late 2008, far more than the 3.2 percent drop first reported.
