Today my brilliant President (Obama) decided to bring down the stock market by saying he was going to push for more banking tax's. With that remark the market dropped 200 point (as of 3:00PM) I don't know about you, but I smell dirty politics going on here. Obama just created another crisis because a Republican dared challenge him. If anyone say it, notice Biden standing next to him chuckling.

The Bamster is pissed that he lost on Tuesday. This is his way of hitting back.

In the U.S. bailing out the financial institutions, contributing to massive unemployment and ramming a huge healthcare package down our throats without even asking if this is what we really want it or not (of course if you ask someone without one they will support you), Big mistake made was not asking the average person who are just now waking up from there complacent lives. The United States is undergoing a attempted government take over which must be stopped. President Obama, you do not have to make citizens wards of the state in order to create a better country.

bailouts & unemployment = when Bush did it there was no talk of socialism

Obama has only done what he did in bailing out banks, maintaining Bush's corporate welfare tax cuts for the rich, prolonging and extending the wars on Iraq & Afghanistan, lobbying for a bigger "Patriot {sic} Act", maintaining Gitmo, refusing to prosecute those who killed innocents at Abu Ghraib, making threats against Iran, stifling efforts to create health care reform by kissing up to the Republicans, and appointing failed Reaganite cronies to deal with the economy. If anything, Obama has become a Republican by duplicating Bush's failed policies. Because of that he is doomed to failure.

Nope there wasn't, when Bush did it, he was not trying to change everything like Obama is doing. I understand that if the banks failed it would have caused more unemployment. Not that it looks like most banks have recovered Obama wants to limit how they do business. Tax them on the money they make. That money they make is the fuel to create new jobs. The only thing governments should do with banks is limit corporate bonus or stop them all together. Employees will work for a salary every year just like the rest of the world with yearly increases based upon merit. As for health care that should be a personal issue, if one wants it buy it. Put a price control on the insurance company if you want to control rates. Do not penalize people who opt out. I do not care really about prisoners held at Gitmo, they should be treated as prisoners of war and released when the war is over.

Berry: Obama said "big difference" between '10 and '94 is "me"

Rep. Marion Berry's parting shot, published in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette [no link, subscription only] offers a warning to moderate Democrats and border state moderates — warning of a midterm bloodbath comparable to the 54-seat D-to-R swing in 1994.
But the jaw-dropper is Berry's claim that President Obama personally dismissed any comparison between Democrats now and under Bill Clinton 16 years ago — by saying his personal popularity would bail everybody out.
The retiring Berry, who doesn't say when the remarks were made, now scoffs at Obama's 50-or-below approval rating:
Writes ADG reporter Jane Fullerton:
Berry recounted meetings with White House officials, reminiscent of some during the Clinton days, where he and others urged them not to force Blue Dogs “off into that swamp” of supporting bills that would be unpopular with voters back home.

“I’ve been doing that with this White House, and they just don’t seem to give it any credibility at all,” Berry said. “They just kept telling us how good it was going to be. The president himself, when that was brought up in one group, said, ‘Well, the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me.’ We’re going to see how much difference that makes now.” [snip]
​
“I began to preach last January that we had already seen this movie and we didn’t want to see it again because we know how it comes out,” said Arkansas’ 1st District congressman, who worked in the Clinton administration before being elected to the House in 1996... "I just began to have flashbacks to 1993 and ’94. No one that was here in ’94, or at the day after the election felt like. It certainly wasn’t a good feeling.”

10) It’s really, really hard to be President – people expect you to do things and stuff.
9) America needs to be more like China.
8) Five year plans: they’re not just for Stalin anymore.
7) It’s still Bush’s fault.
6) Equity demands that it should be ten times more expensive to go to college in order to do something productive than it should be to go to college in order to become a bureaucrat.
5) Spending more public money on health care will still reduce the deficit. Really. It will.
4) Ending the influence of lobbyists and operating transparent government remains as important a promise to make today as it was during the 2008 campaign.
3) Joe Biden is very, very bored.
2) The problem with Washington is that everyone is in eternal campaign mode. Accordingly, everyone should follow the President’s example and limit themselves to no more than 158 interviews and 411 speeches per year.
1) Nancy Pelosi’s face really is frozen.
(Honorable Mention: McCain-Feingold was passed during Teddy Roosevelt’s administration, for in overturning it the Supreme Court “reversed 100 years” of law).
