Obama Sits Down with State Guvs to Stem Economic Slowdown

I don't think anybody should complain.
You all live as "serfs" just like me.

The few Elite run this world.
ie. Bilderberg, Northwoods,Bailouts,
Gulf of Tonkin, Monsanto, etc.
Mind your own business, squeek out a
happy existence before it all comes to
an end just like Rome.

Throughout history mankind has a tendency of repeating itself in various manners.America is the new Rome. Distracted by sports, blinded by TV. Just like the Caesars of old using the games to keep the people blind to the realities of the economy. Is anyone
aware of the Fema concentration type
camps located in hidden areas in the U.S.? What exactly do you think those are for?

I rest my case. You are controlled 100%.
The government is your master.

I assume the NIRB, National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank, will be financing what Rendell refers to as the ready-to-go infrastructure projects. There should be accountability standards on the federal levels for the NIRB in addition to state levels, as Len suggested.

If I'm hearing what Obama has said, his plan is to make the government the daddy the people go to when they need some more beer money. No more of that foolish reliance on private sector employers for income. Who needs private sector businesses? Just rebuild the economy from the bottom up. The money will come from the government and the masses will spend it to keep the economy prosperous. Our government will help all the starving people of the world, end war 'cause everbody's going to love us, end poverty, guarantee healthcare and education. We just have to make sure the government doesn't run out of checks. If the government runs out of money, no problem. Yeah sure, like that could happen. We'll just print some more or sell some treasury bills. Why didn't anyone think of this before? It's gonna be so cool!

Amen brannigon I agree with you 100%, why can't the regular citizen get a bailout in life? when the people asking for the money already have millions in their bank account.

Len -

Great suggestion. Good on you.

All of a sudden the government is handing out money like candy! Now everybody is getting a hand out but the citizens of this country!Another day in the life! I could use some of that to send my kids to school, pay my bills, put food on my table and try to get out of debt! What about me? What about us?

Dear what?,

You just proved my point. Did he do things wrong? Absolutely. But ideologues on both sides tend to point only to the bad and never give credit to the good, but with politicians from their own side are willing to pontificate, and rationalize and be measured about their appraisal.

I was specifically responding to Grey Matter's assumption that Bush had never met with the governors of the states. You can make the case that he did more things wrong than right, but assuming he never did anything right is a fallacy. There are countless Africans who've benefitted from his AIDS assistance who would likely agree. Heck, even Geldof gave him that much credit.

"Obama can't wait to start giving away the working taxpayers' money." Bush and Paulsen have already done an awesome job of giving it away...they haven't been very effective at following up and holding recipients responsible.

"I'd like to count the number of Obama voters looking for unemployment next year at this time." Given the economic mess that Bush is leaving us, unemployment may go as high as 10-15% next year. If that turns out to be the case, it won't just be Obama voters "looking for unemployment."

The pundits demanded that the automakers show up with business plans in hand.

Demand the same of the Governors.

No block grants should be given to States without the specifications and the business plans first.

the hell is she doing there? cant she just dig a hole?

“The slowing economy is resulting in growing unemployment, increased demand for state services and significant declines in state revenues,” Douglas said Monday.-----And This is why Obama's governors are doomed to fail, because they insist on attributing a slowing economy to govt. not spending enough.

jen B,

right after 9/11-he stood on a fire truck and yelled through a bull horn like a cheerleader-the whole world is going to hear you pretty soon,-almost equal to inciting a mob-and then proceeded to tell the rest of the world and where they could put there goodwill for this country, we are going it alone.
let osama get a way, and quickly diverted attention to iraq-Iraq?-you know the rest of the story

on the war mr. bush declared
"Mission Accomplished" and the death toll is still rising.

on Katrina-he patted the fema director on the back and said "brownie, you are doing a good job"-while they were still trying to locate bodies.

on the gas prices-a reporter in a press conference asked what are you all doing to bring down the four dollar gas prices
mr bush looked puzzled and said four dollars-i didn't know gas was four dollars a gallon, that is the first i have heard of that.

Jen B, my point is, after so much of a blunder that has hurt so many people.
how does bush comeback and say,
"Well i did do somethings right",what pardoned the thanksgiving turkey?

the real point is jenb, on the BIG things for this country-mr. bush got it wrong, and the credit should go all to him.

No MarciellaG,

We wanted bush or mccain to win and continue to countries economic downfall

so WE would ALL be standing in the unemployment line.

MarciellaG, after mr. bush and his eight years.
someone had to start to turn this country around. obama won that chance,
lets hope and pray for MY FAMILY AND YOUR FAMILY' SAKE he does a good job.

I don't think Bush ever did that.

__________

Actually he did. But there are a lot of things that Bush has done and in some cases even done well that he'll either not get credit for or at the very least will be written off by ideologues as "not enough."

MarciellaG,

Hey, we guys tried it your way with a Republican- Bush (who royally screwed everything up), you can't blame almost 70million Americans for voting for the Democrat.

Why don't you give Obama a chance to be INAUGURATED first and see if he's "spreading the wealth" around and making you poorer. Our whole tax system is fundamentally socialist to begin with- you give the govt money, govt uses it to build roads and other stuff that benefit everybody.

I think it's great he's meeting with the individual governors about their concerns. I don't think Bush ever did that.

P.S Someone should tell Palin her constituents are pissed their governor has been MIA even after the election ended and hasn't been back to do her job.

Obama will be naming Oprah as Secretary of Handouts. The automakers and the Wall Street/banking thieves will need to appear on her show and they will find a "surprise" taped to the bottom of their chairs. Free money from Obama which Oprah agrees to match dollar-for-dollar.

Obama can't wait to start giving away the working taxpayers' money. Well, you fools wanted a far left, LIBERAL, President and that's what you got.

I'd like to count the number of Obama voters in line for unemployment next year at this time.

Is there any corporation, business, state, or individual who doesn't have their hand out asking for something? I don't feel sorry for these winers - they companies obviously don't know how to manage their businesses and the states are broke because greedy politicians make sure they get a piece of any action the state funds. As for individuals, they make me sick. They are all moaning they can't make ends meet, can't feed their families, can't do this, can't do that. Notice, however, that they can still afford their unnecessary cell phones.
They want handouts and they dump their pets on shelters because they are too cheap to buy pet food. They make sure they are in line for the free winter coats for their kids at the city giveaways. They take the free turkey,
use food stamps, don't pay their utility bills and want more public assistance. But, they can ALWAYS afford their cell phones and drugs.

Welcome to America, land of the lazy, overweight, and stupid.
