Stimulus not meant to stimulate?

I'm shocked at Obama's bold faced lie. I watched him on CNN as he said, the Stimulus was not suppose to save the economy, only give it a small boost.

REALLY?

from what I remember he said, it would create all these jobs, 3.6 million was the estimate, it would get people spending again, it would keep unemployment below 8%, it would help keep taxes down for the working class, the housing market could finally recover.

If we DIDN'T support the stimulus we were DOOMED DOOMED DOOMED. businesses would fail, the stock market would be obliterated, people would be homeless.

now it wasn't MEANT to do all of that... it was only meant to give it a boost.

Some boost. Job loss at an all time high (over 8%), small businesses closing, the stimulus bill spends BILLIONS on food share and welfare... but with the few things that WOULD create actual jobs... $700,000 or less. BILLIONS on walfare, a couple thousand for jobs. grrreeeeaaaaatttttt

Obama also said on that interview, the stimulus is working as planned. After all, it cut millions of tax dollars for the working class.

Really... then why did my mom LOOSE an extra $100 a month on her check because of HIGHER federal taxes?

What about when cap and trade goes into effect and the working class are taxed for energy efficiancy? What about when WE Energies has to raise its energy cost by 5 to 7%? What about when property taxes sky rocket thanks to Doyle? What about when realty agencies have to let people go, or close down because the housing market will be ruined by cap and trade.

I am actually LIVID at the bold face LIE Obama spewed on my tv. He promised this stimulus was a miracle drug when he was pushing it, now that the public has come down from it's high and realized the effects didn't last long enough... now he claims "It wasn't meant to help that much people. It was only meant to give you a momentary high. if you want another hit... you'll have to support a second stimulus."

after he claimed our only hope was this stimulus... he now says it was only meant to be a boost, not a cure. Well it failed at boosting miserably too. NOW he wants to implement ANOTHER stimulus.

if it fails once, try it again and pray that it will work this time. Give me a break.

and people still say this man who missed more key votes in his 4 year senate career than McCain missed in 20 and Clinton missed in 7... this man who had no major accomplishements outside of naming a day after someone no one knows... is still qualified to be president?

If this guy lied in our face about the stimulus, do you really think he's ready to stand up against Kim Jong Il or handle a war in Afghanistan?

*Sigh* Rant over.

Bush's Economy or Obama's economy?

"Someone put it best when they said we were in Obama's economy since he won the election.

Firstly, the DOW was at 9,000 when the final election votes were tallied. that was considered the last look at Bush's economy.

Secondly, the DOW is anticipitory, not based on the present or past.

People buy and sell stocks based on the anticipation of what they'll do. If the stock shows a likelyhood to be successful, They will buy. If there is anticipation that the stock is losing value, they will sell.

since this is anticipitory and not based on now or the past... it shows that there is little faith in Obama's economic plans, they are anticipating that his economic plans will not be good for the country and will not do enough to stimulate the economy.

So there is little reason to blame Bush, although he will continue to so long as it works... and people will continue to believe it for another month or so. (The die hard liberals will believe it forever.) But others will quickly wise up until Obama starts making decisions that doesn't put a big red zit on the forehead of his inexperience that voters were warned about."

- as explained by a local talk show radio host during an interview with a wallstreet journal editor.

Again... DOW was up a few points today... Obama spoke, and now the DOW is currently down. How many times have I pointed this out now?

I know the bell hasn't rung... but I'm not optomistic

We are now in the 6000's.

We've gone through a stimulus plan that was suppose jump start the economy.

We've gone through the nationalizing of banks

We've gone through the nationalizing of health care (where Obama basically tells patients like my late father, that they have to wait LONGER between hospitializations than the normal 60 days before you're covered, because hospitals should cure them the first time they're there... cause you know, there's a cure for cancer now that Obama is in office.)

We went through the down fall of Fan and Fred... that the LIBERALS said NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH when they were warned by republicans since 2006 that a downfall is imminent...

And what have WE gained?

NOTHING

Except the liberals ability to CONTINUE to blame Bush.

If it's Bush's fault... why did the stimulus plan that was suppose to be our miracle have a bad reaction from the country instead of being welcomed with praise?

If it's Bush's fault... why did Obama go back on his earmark ban promise, as he's about to sign the budget bill despite 7.7 BILLION dollars worth of earmarks!

If it's Bush's fault... why do people have no faith in the government's ability to handle our money or health?

If It's Bush's fault... why didn't the liberals listen to republicans before Fan and Fred went down?

Bush is no longer in office... Obama has put his OWN plans into action... Obama has written his OWN policies, Obama has hired his OWN cabient (None of which seem to know how to pay their OWN taxes.)

Things are getting WORSE instead of getting better.

Our president of hope and change has only managed to change our hope to hopelessness.

We are at 6000 for the first time in over a decade...

And our president who is suppose to look ahead at a brighter new world... is constantly looking to the past administration to place blame.

Sorry, I can't see how Bush can be blamed for this one. It's not Bush's policies, stimulus plans, budgets and speeches anymore... It's not Bush who talks right after the DOW Rallies, and then the DOW Plummets right after the talk.

You just can't keep blaming Bush. he's gone. He's out. It's your game now. So instead of placing blame... DO SOMETHING FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!! My mom's pension desparately needs you to!!! So grow up and stop whining like little babies about the past... As Obama so politely put it to republicans... He won... we need to get over it.

Then fine. DO YOUR JOB and get over the past administration. Anything that happens now is ON YOUR Administration.

FIX IT

DOW Rallies, Obama speaks, Dow drops...

Like I said in my last blog...

Everytime Obama opens his mouth, the DOW drops... as does my mom's hopes since half of her and my late father's pension is wrapped up in stocks. (so much for hope and change, right?)

This was proven today.

Yesterday... Obama had been fairly silent on Monday... the DOW rallied almost 300 points. Obama gave a speech last night, and the DOW ended down today.

Can't blame this on Bush.

Bush didn't talk about Nationalizing banks, which is one of the reasons blamed for the DOW being down. That's Obama's big plan to let the government run privately own banks so they are completely in charge of our money.

Lack of faith in Obama's spendulus plan is also a reason for the DOW.

Also to note... the Gallop poll said Obama's one month approval is about average to other presidents, but LOWER than Jimmy Carter who was 71% by the end of the first month.

JIMMY CARTER!!

That says a lot.

Civil rights groups miffed at Messiah

Civil rights groups are concerned that Obama isn't keeping his promise about being completely open and readable...

REALLY?

WOW!

I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING!

OBAMA? BEING SECRETIVE? MY GOD!

by the way... Obama signed the stimulus into existance today.

The DOW plummeted almost 300pts shortly after.

Hope and change.

Hope and change.

Hope and change.

How will you spend that $13 a week?

Everyone made fun of President Bush's $600 tax stimulus check everyone got. "Oh ho how is that Stimulus check going to help anyone long term? ha ha ha what a stupid idea."

Really?

Obama's stimulus plan? give everyone an extra $13 per check per week.

$13 x 4 = and extra $52 a month.

$52 x 12 = drum roll please...

$625 a year.

Wow, his stimulus plan is a whole $25 better than Bush's!! WOW! Thanks Obama!!

Ah, can you smell the hope... or is that cow poop?

The stimulus has passed the senate... pork, earmarks and all. Yay for a bunch of spending on items that will not create jobs! Yay for more spending than tax cuts.

and the stimulus is already helping our economy! the second it passed the senate, our DOW plummeted almost 400pts, ending at 7888.88.

wait... did I say help? I meant the opposite of help.

I sure hope those Rhinos who sided with the stimulus know what they're doing, however, after today's DOW, I'm starting to SERIOUSLY doubt it.
