As long as President 0bama gives us the $1000 that he said he would give us if we voted for him, we are happy for his keeping his words. A man of word is always good to be our Dearest Greatest Leader.

Wow, You people are ruthless...
Day 3 & everything's Obama's fault???
Everything's his responsibility even though he hasn't even been sworn in???
Where's Bush??? Oh yeah, still emptying out the treasury while you guys provide cover... Pathetic!!!

expecting,

Hold your horses. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is already helping to enact a legislation to give you what the President Elect promised. If you are not the filthy rich, making more than $70,000,
you could get up to another $600 by August, 2009.

"You are not implying that our Greatest Leader was lying all along, are you? Shame on you."
------------
You don't think your great leader in office lied to the people, do you? You believed every word Senator McCain uttered, didn't you? You are either a miserable creature or a cold hearted monster. It's okay to disagree with the guy but wouldn't it make sense to at least let him start governing? As long as things do not go your way, God in Heaven wouldn't satisfy you because your heart cannot afford to open up and do a self-examination.

Mr Obama will fix the economy with no effort.

(although he will make it seem like he has done miracles)

When the time is right, and the moment is exact, he will call off Soros and friends.

At that point, the economy will rise and he will expect to become your God and Savior.

Those who are blaming Obama for the choices is making, I think its quite unfair.
The man is trying to put right what went wrong with the present administration.
How he does it, what choices he makes is upon him. Our job is to wait and see whether he will deliver.

Remember one President at a Time,Last I checked Bush is still President,Obama cannot step on Bushes toes,He is only President Elect there is only so much he can do!

the same old order err new order...Two words, ANGER MANAGEMENT...

A VERY INTERESTING FACT is sitting there in those unployment numbers.

The last time we were this high was 1994...and who was the President then ?

According to all you libs on these forums for the past months, returning to the time of Clinton is supposed to be a "good thing". Guess this little piece of history slipped your minds (selective memory)...huh?

To all those who didn't get their choice on Tuesday. Look people, let's give it a rest. Obama's our president for the next four years and to continue spewing negative remarks accomplishes absolutely nothing. Obama doesn't read this blog. In fact, no one of any consequence does because of the language and tone used by many of the bloggers. So relax, take a few deep breaths, and in four years you'll get to vote again.

now gm is looking for a handout---why did they continue to produce the guzzlers and no super efficient cars----oh i forget ford does ---FOR EUROPEAN MARKET-----ford festiva diesel 67 mpg in europe----between the arabs and china trade imbalance we have nothing including our jobs---bushy was to concerned with what i call his war.

"bushy was to concerned with what i call his war."

Bush will be a burp in history.

[..unemployment rates..]

When Clinton took office, unemployment was on a steady increase. It was 7.3% when he took office, and peaked at 7.8% in June. From that point on, unemployment rates started to fall and continued to decline until Clinton left office where it was at 3.9%.

On the other hand, Bush took that 3.9% unemployment rate and throughout his term has steadily increased it to it's current 6.5% rate. In addition, due to sustained large scale deficit spending, Bush has devalued the dollar to a historic low, set the record twice for the largest single year deficit increases (not including the recent bailout fiasco), and that deficit spending is one of the major causes of the recession we are currently facing.

No, it has not 'slipped our memory', apparently it has yours.

if allowed by congress obama's tax policies will destroy the american family and business. socialism has always failed. it is an evil economic system that must be fought discouraged. we must keep more money in the people's hands who work for it. that is what keeps an economy strong. it soesn't take much intelligence to fihure that out

Nope.. but apparently it takes some intelligence to realize that nobody is suggesting socialism. Such people need to go take an economics class or three.

Obama will do just fine and so will the economy. And for those of you seeking to blame Obama for the last two days: I guess Obama really wasn't the cause behind the drop in the DOW or market- besides it's been "roller-coastering" back and forth for the last couple of months- scratch within the last year now. It's on a positive note today and also after China heard of our new president their market did well- really well.

i am a registered republican but i and sis not vote due to being away at work and my polling place does nor accept mail ballots. i think that the country made a good choice. the republicans really have screwed the puch. why not let someone else take a shot at this? cant be much worse than it is now, can it? ok, so my party did not win. it is time we all started to be americans rather than dem. or rep. and work together and fix this thing. bickering will not solve the problem. obama is the preisdent now and lets give him a chnace b4 we start ripping him and i know i will be the 1st in line. Take care everyone.

Look at the way the McCain camp and the Palin camp are attacking each other. Did we really need that in the White House?

On saving the auto-industry.

I think the best way to help the american auto-industry, is to give them business. For example, let the big-3 to build electric Post-office vechicles for the Federal Government. This way, US can go green and big-3 has business and cash flow. We can also move closer to energy independent. The Federal Government can further to assist school districts and local governments to buy buses from big-3 that use natural gas by providing matching grants or low-interest loans to the local governments and school districts.

It may take the big-3 12-18 months to start delivering these vechicles. So, in the meantime, the Federal Government can give big-3 some amount of down payments and credits for them purchase raw materials from their suppliers.

This approach will achieve 3 things :
1. save the american auto-industry
2. create jobs.
3. moving towards energy independent
4. provide green energy for the country.

The big-3 will use the technology that they invent for Federal Government vechicles and extend for other commerical vechicles.

Concerning the economic bailout it is going to fail for one main reason. It doesn't give companies responsibility, What Obama needs to do is provide a "one time" bailout. Meaning this would be the one chance they will get to do what they need to make things right. This would then give the failing companies incentive to use the money they get to make the necessary changes they need to make instead of spending the money on company paid trips, and anything else that are not needed.

This package should also have stipulations as well. Companies using the money should also be made to give account for the money spent. If the money is found to have been spent unwisely the companies CEO's should be prosecuted, and be made to repay the money they had spent.
