I love Pres. Obama to death
but his economic policies suck.

too much money to Wall street and the big banks, not enough help for main street. I think the stimulus is working, but quietly and incompletely.

Most smart observers expect the Dems to spend the next year doing anything and everything to spark some job creation, but even with the best policies in place, the damage is done, it's going to take a long time to get unemployment numbers back down -but the people need to feel like our leaders are fighting for them, if the Dems don't want their ass handed to them, they better pass this HCR pronto and when that is done...
PUT SOME ASS-KICKING BOOTS ON AND GO AFTER WALL STREET..

So I say it again, I love Obama, I'm routing for him and if we want him to be successful we gotta be honest with ourselves and our party leaders, they need to start making some DRASTIC AND HIGHLY VISIBLE moves to push for really really tough new regulations for Wall street and the big banks.

if they fail, the Republicans will pick up the banner of populism, and rightfully (oh puke, why would we ever give them a chance to be right about anything?) claim that the Dems have not done enough for the working class and we will all be screwed.

I hope they get that -and if they don't, we need to speak up and let them know: FUCK WALL STREET UP, IT'S YOUR ONLY HOPE.

3. Another profile with zero information. Ho-hum. What a surprise.
You are all the same. Hardly Profiles in Courage, to say the least. So very predictable, each and every time.

7. I understand your cynicism
Edited on Sat Nov-21-09 10:52 PM by 27inCali
because I see trolls on here all day pushing their shit.

but you need to check your troll radar.

and you can shoot the messenger all day, but the message is still sitting there staring at you.

if we don't get tough on Wall Street, Banks, Plutocrats in general, the Repugs are going to ride into Congress on a populist wave of public resentment.

edit: oh, I thought you meant me, not the asshole with 200 posts, sorry. yeah, you're right, fuck them.

4. Quit repeating rw talking points.
The White House has been doing a lot to help get this started and I know a lot of people who have already benefitted from their help.

11. Hunh...where are the Repugs with their jobs ideas?
Wait...that's right....they have none!

Why aren't you attacking the corporations that have moved millions of jobs ofshore so they could pay pennies for wages and reap in billions for profit? Oh that's right because corporations have no culpability in the recession and the loss of jobs.

The Repugs encouraged more off shoring when * was in the WH and no one said a damn word.

You want the economy fixed, you want jobs, you want people to stop losing their jobs, you want the world to be fixed, you want us out of two costly wars!!

WTF else do you want? Did you demand anything from *? Did you say anything when the Repug Congress ram rodded two wars down our throats? Did you demand that our soldiars get the proper equipment so they could have a chance?

You do know the infrastructure projects that Congress and President Obama are talking about will cost money right? When it happens you will be the first to complain that it's costing too much money.

The Great Depression didn't happen over night and this recession won't either. By the way jobs are ALWAYS the last thing to come back when and economy hit's bottom.

8. I know that, you know that
but average folks don't because they are stupid, don't really pay attention and don't realize how complex the problems are or how hard it is to get good bills through congress.

they are hurting and they are looking to our party to help them, if we don't spend all of 2010 kicking wall streets ass we are fucked.

we gotta be honest with ourselves about this. We need our Pres to do a better job of letting the people know what he is doing to get jobs going. Right now they think the only things on his radar are HCR and foreign diplomacy.

10. Well if "smart" folk like you keep repeating the stupid ass talking point,
how could the average folks not buy......since they are stupid.

Why don't you not spout RW Teabagging talking points,
and then perhaps you'll be part of the solution,
instead of being one of many problems.

17. The prez has said that he wants to give the Fed MORE power...
imo his relationship with Wall Street and the big banks is the problem ~ it's not that he doesn't get what's going on.
