Here's a link for more coverage.
Nice neighbor or a sign of the times?
VP Biden tells “Meet the Press” that “everyone guessed wrong” on the impact of the stimulus, economy was worse off than anyone thought. "Guessing" is it now? They weren't talking like that when we passed this garbage. The people are watching:
"The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 40% would vote for their district’s Democratic congressional candidate while 40% would choose the Republican.
Support for Democrats is up two points from last week, while support for the GOP is up three points. Support for the GOP is just one point below its highest level found over the past year. Last week’s results for the Democrats tied the lowest level of support for the party during the same period." Rasmussen
Here's the big quote from Rasmussen: "Voters not affiliated with either party now favor Republicans by a 38% to 21% margin." Quite a turn around from last year.
The Economist: “Bad as the deficit was under Mr Bush, it will quadruple this year, from $459 billion in 2008 to $1.845 trillion, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO). Mr Obama vows to slash it in half within four years, but that will still leave it bigger than the deficits for which he once lashed Mr Bush. His aides hint that he will get tough when the time is right, but he is reluctant to break campaign promises of tax cuts for all but the rich just yet. The CBO reckons the deficit will still be running at more than $1 trillion a year in 2019.” So he doesn't want to break campaign promises just yet? DADT anybody? DOMA anybody? "State secrets" anybody?
And what about making the world feel better about America? Iranians already don't feel too much better. Now, we've not treated our friends in the UK too much better. And what of Palau and our friends in that area of the world?
Even Bill Maher is getting tired of him being on all the time. We need a vacation from the man. How soon till he takes one? We're tired of the celebrity president. He needs some George Bush now, W that is.
Posted by peter at June 14, 2009 11:33 AMNot tired of Bill Maher but it was certainly refreshing to be in the "no shit-fer-brains pete zone" last week..
It takes a tremendous ego to presume people want the next shit brain pete update on the constant basis you spew that talking points propaganda.
Of course thats what happens when you parrot the hate crap o'lielly, insanitty, and lush rimbaugh spew, on a daily basis...
