Who were three Rethuglican benedict arnolds? Was it Snowejob,vodka Collins and Arlen Spincter? If they are responsible for all this they should be publicly humiliated right here....They are Democrats! There, thats a pretty debasing thing to be called.

And I'm not holding my breath waiting for a GOP officeholder to blast Obama for this.

Lorie, the best is yet to come. You can look forward to more 'gloom and doom' from Mr Optimist. He has yet to pass health care, education and energy 'reform' policies. After all, these are the "pillars" of the new society. WE MUST PASS THESE BILLS! It's an EMERGENCY! THE ECONOMY WILL FAIL LESS WENT IMPLEMENT THESE CHANGES!

Oh, and by the way, "Dissent is not patriotic" (anymore).

Obama cracks me up! I've never laughed out loud because of ridiculous statements made by a president. This guy is hilarious!! I was in stitches yesterday after the "I am signing an imperfect omnibus bill...and this piece of legislation must mark the end of the old way of doing business". Classic!! And today he killed again!!! I love this!! The "crisis" "not at bad as we think"!!! That's Gold !!

I hope he visits a comedy club near me soon !!!

"Was it Snowejob,vodka Collins and Arlen Spincter?"

Isnt that Clueless Collins, Spineless Spectre, and Stupid Snowe?

Obama has already lost a lot of credibility. His disapproval ratinigs have risen and his approval ratings have dropped. He sends contradictory messages all the time. He can't get away with that forever.

Any bets on whether he will have a full cabinet in place by say Jan?

Lori, I completely agree with your assessment. Obama's backtracking now is probably because big money Democrats like Buffet have gotten to him.

Obama, the three traitorous Republican Senators, Pelosi, Reid, and all the Democrats who passed the Porkulus bill should have to pay with their jobs!

You mean there really was no Withering Media Deconstruction?

. . .declaring the national crisis is "not as bad as we think" and his plans will speed recovery.

So Obama admits the economy he inherited was not as bad as he said it was. That means it should be recovered before the 2010 elections, right? After all, Obama's tax increases go into effect in 2011 and only a complete idiot would raise taxes in a recession.

Not to rattle their cage, but where are Obama's defenders on this? I'd like to hear their defense, other than "It's all Bush's fault" or "Well, remember what Bush did in 2___", or the every popular "Well the Republicans ________".

...........crickets chirping.................

Guess it's hard to defend your leader when he talks out of all sides of his mouth.

Never mind.

Yeah them 3 stooges probably had something to do with it too.

"Unprepared to be the First, RUSHING to be the Worst!"

"This strategy was calculated. It was deceitful. It was manipulative. It was opportunistic. It was un-presidential. And unless tax paying American citizens speak up it will be effective."

It's already worked. Unless we speak up? And say what? Accomplishing what?

Way way way way way late for all that.

Read your tea leaves baby. Bricks and bats is what it's coming down to. This will be fought out. Literally.

And whose fault is it? People like you more than any. You've got a voice and you've wasted it being nice while people of malicious character have been destroying the place for years now.

Just today Bernie Madoff got sent to jail for a ponzi scheme. I cannot help but think Obama is doing the EXACT same thing...

Maybe you should all listened to Obama a week ago and bought some stocks.

On March 3rd he said the stocks look good to buy. Since then S&P 500 is up almost 8%. Instead, you spent a week whining, bitching, and moaning.

BTW, have you found those weapons of mass destruction in Iraq yet ?

OD, I believe you typed that wrong...you should be OT for "off topic". Or even Overt Troll. Either is fine.

No ODor the military already took care of that problem..But Im sure if You try really hard You can find Your tin hat and troll badge right next to Your Hamas training manual.

"They're not as bad as we think they are now."

If he believes THAT, then why did he say THESE:

"Americans know that our economic recovery will take years -- not months." - Jan 31.

"I will tell you in terms of what is alarming right now is how fast the economy has been deteriorating...It keeps me up at night and it gets me up." - Feb 3.

"If we do not move swiftly to sign the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act into law, an economy that is already in crisis will be faced with catastrophe." - Feb 5. (what he meant was that he had to move extremely slowly to Denver to sign it)

"If we drag our feet and fail to act, this crisis will turn into a catastrophe. We'll continue to get devastating job reports like today's month after month, year after year." - Feb 6.

"And our nation will sink into a crisis that at some point we may be unable to reverse." - Feb 9.

"...this is not your ordinary, run-of-the-mill recession. We are going through the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression." - Feb 9.

"My administration inherited a deficit of over $1 trillion, but because we also inherited the most profound economic emergency since the Great Depression...Those are deficits that could turn a crisis into a catastrophe." - Feb 9. (of course he voted FOR the budgets that gave us the previous deficit and then doubled down on that deficit)

"And the fact of the matter is, is that we are in not just an ordinary recession." - Feb 10

"...the greatest economic crisis we've seen in decades." - Feb 20.

"We are in the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression..." - Oct 7.

I think he's run out of sides of his mouth to talk out of, personally.
