President Obama delivered his weekly radio address attempting to persuade Americans that the best way to get out of an economic crisis caused by irresponsible spending is to proceed cautiously by spending more taxpayer money irresponsibly.
Watch and learn, this is how it’s done:
Some choice parts of the transcript:
Because if we don’t move swiftly to put this plan in motion, our economic crisis could become a national catastrophe. Millions of Americans will lose their jobs, their homes, and their health care. Millions more will have to put their dreams on hold.
So if we don’t waste some ungodly amount of taxpayer dollars, the economic crisis could worsen? How exactly is wasting money on STD prevention going to put Americans back to work?
The American people know that our challenges are great. They don’t expect Democratic solutions or Republican solutions – they expect American solutions.
Which is why President Obama hasn’t compromised on anything and instead has continued to tell everyone “he won” so they need to suck it up and support his record-breaking pork plan.
President Obama is attempting to fear-monger everyone into supporting his legislation, he’s doing exactly what Democrats have always accused the Bush administration of doing with regard to terrorism. We’re being told to support the legislation or the results will be “catastrophic,” a notion I don’t buy in the least.
President Obama is using the current economic circumstances to push through a massive spending bill which would make any tax-and-spend liberal very proud.
There’s your hope and change, my friends.

The honeymoon is over and the “Vox Populi” are beginning to express as Richard Weaver wrote “Ideas Have Consequnces”.The President seems to be annoyed by the part in the Constitution about checks and balances and feels that he writes the tablets on high and Congress doesn’t need to debate it.Nor should it be posted openly on the internet for 5 days for examination as he promised during the campaign.But then again he is leaving the money lenders and tax cheats to stay in the temple.No….the people are seeing and whispers are starting pssssst “The king has no clothes”
Gee Nate, there is little I can add.
1.”irresponsible spending”. “O”. Tell us what that is ? Why are there no hearings ? Invesitgations ? Indctments ? If we have systems that allowed many, many $ Trillions in “irresponsible spending” shouldn’t you point out what it is being done so wrongly ? Say something man ! How about one hearing ? Don’t leave us in the dark. I want Congress persons to blamd impeached ! Or at least voted out of office. No matter their party.(I never said Acorn, sub-prime, or Frank.)
2. If Obama had campaigned telling of all the PORK in his bill, he might know people are against it..He spun a different story about this when running . Just like with lobbist, etc.. Might not have got elected if he told the PORK.. Looks like 60% of us don’t like it.
I have downloaded a PDF copy of the stimulus package and have begun reading it. Most of what the news outlets report is really in there! There’s truly a lot in there that you wonder, “Will that really help stop people from losing jobs?”

I admire you reading from the source. I understand it is many times bigger than “War and Peace”. Which revision are you reading ? Changes occur hourly. Are you going to read the final signed law. Fox News is more convinent for me.
For a concerned citizen as yourself, good job and good luck ! We need more foot soldiers for truth than blind trust.. Especially when source (Congress) is not reliable
“If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money and will promote the general welfare,the government is no longer a limited one ,possessing enumerated powers,but an indefinite one.”..James Madison
The President wanted to get done as much as possible in his first 100 days.Well he has accomplished quite a lot. He started to fulfill a campaign promise by closing Gitmo.When it came time to sign the papers and asked where these terrorist are going to be sent he didn’t have a clue.He appoints Bill Richardson commerce Secretary and he has to resign.Timothy Geithner,Nancy Killefer, and Tom Daschle have to resign their nominations due to not paying taxes.He appoints 12 lobbist to high positions including Daschle who got $2.1 million fron UnitedHealth group after stating during the campaign lobbist have no place in my administration.And now he is trying to pass the largest pork errr OH ! it’s called stimulus bill in the countries history. Perhaps the President should go back to organizing communities because anything larger than that seems to be a pay grade he isn’t qualified for.
