well if he lowered taxes i’d be able to buy more stuff. id also pay back my student loans. but since he’s raising taxes, it kinda has the opposite effect. i will not buy new clothes (which i desperately need) and i will not be paying back my student loans (which the government needs).
obama, at least in my world, has created a lose / lose situation.
Not so much the presidency but Congress that has done damage. The stock market has been rallying on the prospects (increasing by the day) of gridlock, i.e. more Republicans elected.
I think though that the implementation of the stimulus plan under obama’s watch has been horrific. Bush rolled out TARP, it did its job and now practically all of the money is back. The gov’t. will make a profit on TARP. Stimulus is doing absolutely nothing.
I had a kind of out of body experience this morning while watching MSNBC’s recap of the Sharron Angle / Harry Reid debate. Angle is the AZ Rep canditate for Senator vs incumbent Reid. The “Republican” Angle was trashing Reid for being a wealthy man, being rich and a senator at the same time. Reid who knows that one false move can nail him is very careful while she goes on the personal attack. He states that he was a successful lawyer prior to being a senator and invested his money well.
One can’t help but note a serious disconnect between these new “Republicans”, and the stalwart elephant tie wearing traditional Republicans. It’s a freak show and no self-respecting Republican will admit it, but God help us with some of these “new” politicians.
Oh hey – something totally improved with the site! It’s refreshing more quickly and the posts are showing up.
I know what happened – we are all being too nice to each other today. It turns out the gears of the OT are greased with partisan hate. In the last 10 minutes we got a little hate in here, and now the site’s working again.

Raise your hand if you are seriously proposing that the actions of the US president have any meaningful impact on the US economy.
I am sensing some dumbassery here. Let’s get it right out in the open.
And no bullshit hedgey responses where you try to take both sides of the issue. Grow a pair and take a position.
