The Note, 1/21/09: Day Two -- President Obama (At Last) Seeks Running Start

Well now that it's all rainbows and sunshine here in the good ole USA, I am going to march on up to DC and get in line for a handout...umm I mean bailout!!! Hell, with $700B already appropriated there has to be some money left for the average Joe's right??!!! All together now, let's click our heels 3 times and let the "change" magic begin LOL!!!

Well, he needs to.

The market tanked yesterday. What does that tell you? The economy doesn't trust him as far as your dead grandmother could throw him.

The beginning of the "change" we were promised and the market tanked. It will be a long 4 years.

Wow,
The only thing that could outdue the WORST sell off of the DOW in post election history after BO won, was the WORST inauguration day sell-ff of the DOW in history.
I wonder how many of the liberal whackjob media outlets will broadcast those facts?

Nothing like a healthy dose of cynicism to start off a Wednesday morning, huh grumpyoldmanintown?

Obama's ability to do what he wants to do will very likely impact you, so you might actually consider sucking up that cynical pride and try rooting for the man who's going to be running the country, and having a significant impact on the world as a whole.

Just a thought...

I saw a myriad of people on TV yesterday explaining how Obama was now going to pay their bills. If this is how he got elected, this is serious trouble. The level of ignorance was astounding.

Can't wait to see how this plays out. He got where is he by blaming everyone else for one thing or another. Let's see who he blames when he figures out he doesn't have a clue how fix the economy.

I wonder if I forget to pay my self-employment tax, will the IRS let me slide with an "honest mistake?" Geithner should be out.

"The market tanked yesterday. What does that tell you? The economy doesn't trust him as far as your dead grandmother could throw him."

Right, it doesn't have anything to do with the year plus-long tumble that has been happening. And this "market" is also responsible for where we are now. Not Obama.

Actions speak much louder than words. Let's see the "miracle"!!!!!

"Obama's ability to do what he wants to do will very likely impact you, so you might actually consider sucking up that cynical pride and try rooting for the man who's going to be running the country, and having a significant impact on the world as a whole."

This is way too logical.

Regardless of what happens, the Obama's are now financially set for life. Wish the rest of us could say the same.

"Regardless of what happens, the Obama's are now financially set for life. Wish the rest of us could say the same."

They're no more financially set for life now than they were before he decided to run for President. Or even the Senate, for that matter.

You can tell the rightwingers have been saving up their self pitying, snarky complaints for the day after the inauguration. Babies! You haven't even begun to suffer and all ready you act like Obama has outed your CIA wife to punish you for telling the truth, or fired qualified Democratic Attorney Generals for not prosecuting Republicans before elections...oh, you don't know what it is to suffer, and probably won't because from all signs, Obama treats the opposition as if this were a Democracy.

Amy, I think you might be right. We have not even begun to suffer!

Maybe will see the narcissist compare himself to Lincoln a little bit more. Can't wait for Marshall Law and a suspension of states rights.

The economy is a lot worse than most people are aware of. The possible fallout greater than most expect. I care not who sits in the Whitehouse, Obama or should it have been McCain, the crisis is greater than one man -- even the presidency of U.S. It is a shame that Americans angered over Obama's win will sit on their backsides and complain, instead of putting their hand to the task in their own community to help in this economic downturn. The U.S. government was fiscally irresponsible, but so have most Americans. The hardships was created by the government and by the people -- it will take both to fix it. If everyone gets their financial house in order or at least starts forming a plan to get there -- hopefully this storm will not be as bad as it portends to be. Don't use who is in the Whitehouse as an excuse not to mind your own house's affairs. There is more than Obama being tested today.

"Maybe will see the narcissist compare himself to Lincoln a little bit more. Can't wait for Marshall Law and a suspension of states rights."

Wait...what? And what? Seriously, snap out of it. Come back down to earth please, if you're going to talk with the grown ups.

So the central government is about to take a more active role in the life of America. I don't want unicorns in my living room. Did fine without them so far.

Silky

Get your head out of liberal butt please. I would guess that BO and his angry millionaire wife will be worth ATLEAST 300 million in 10-15 years. You see, that is what liberals in power do. They run around screaming at everyone to share! share! share! but somehow their bank accounts seem to just grow! grow! grow!

Here are some fun facts you would probably never hear from the nutty liberal media about the "spread the wealth around" crew....

-27/50 of the wealthiest members of congress are liberals.

-300 private jets landed in Washington for Bush's inauguration day, over 600 flew in for barry's (that is one heck of a "carbon footprint" from the global warming freaks)

- Joe Biden, the man who famously said "time to do your patriotic duty, time to pay higher taxes" has earned a healthy $2.59 million dollars in the last 10 years and has given less then 3k to charity in that same time (.001.%)Now, that is what I call patriotic joe!

-the average dontation to the republican party has historically been $50 dollars, and the average donation to the democrats is....... we don't really know because george soros doesn't what us to know.

"So the central government is about to take a more active role in the life of America. I don't want unicorns in my living room. Did fine without them so far."

I honestly think you guys are sniffing glue or something. You're talking some other language having nothing to do with reality. The "central government" is going to create jobs rebuilding infrastructure in a manner that is going to pay dividends down the road. It's a great idea. Is that what you're refering to?

dave, what is your point? Democrats aren't allowed to make money? My point was that the Obamas are very bright lawyers...money was never going to be a concern for them as long as they worked. And you realize that if they're rich, they're subjected to the same taxes as everybody else, right? Regardless, Obama is talking about holding off on taxing the over $250K. And what do you care? Your fry cook job will never get you within $235K of having to worry about it anyway. Your taxes will DECREASE under his campaign plan. There you go again...voting against your own best interest.
