Aye Chihuahua's Comments
Sorry Bill,
The Great Depression was extended by 7 years because of FDR's programs.
The lesson from history is that you cannot SPEND your way out of a recession.
A smart combination of aggressive tax cuts and aggressive spending cuts will put immediate money into the pockets of the people. Ultimately, it's the people who control the economy.
The gov'ts role is to get out of the way and let it function.

The gov't has no business telling a private enterprise how to run their company.
If the execs want to go out on the sidewalk and give the money away or set it on fire that is between them, their shareholders, and their Board of Directors.
It's not the gov'ts business.
No bailout money. No dictation from Washington DC.
Period.

I would say that there's some sort of glitch going on there.
I noticed it this morning too.

Also, violet, if you or I or any other "ordinary" American did what Geithner and Daschle did would we be nominated and confirmed to serve in the President's cabinet or would we be in prison?

"I’m ignoring you because you’re being condescending, sneering, antagonistic, and trollish without regard or thoughtful consideration for any dissent, differing opinion, or information beyond what fits into your fixed view."
That right there is priceless ladies and gentlemen.
Priceless.
What you're really saying is that the facts fly in the face of your argument and that you have nothing to rebut what I've presented.
That's what you're really saying.
You can present whatever "dissent" or "differing opinion" you wish to present. No one is stopping you.
Certainly not me.
I gave your posts thoughtful consideration and discovered that you were wrong. Sorry about that. If you're interested in expanding your intellectual acuity then perhaps you should read more widely and broaden your horizons.
Facts are stubborn things and I will present them so that you can see that the truth lies beyond your fixed view.
The questions I posed to you regarding Holder and Geithner remain unanswered by the way. Why is that?
They were easy.
The questions will only get tougher as we go along.
Oh, I almost forgot. You can add Tom Daschle to the list of nominees in this administration who have tax issues.
What is it about Dems and not paying taxes?
They have no problem raising them at every opportunity for everyone else.
Is this the "HopenChange" that BO promised?

violet,
"especially with regard to Holder on record as declaring torture as torture and holding the door open for those with deep pockets and great power to potentially be held accountable for crimes that far, far outweigh the petty ones that the poor and powerless are routinely and harshly penalized for."
Would this be the same Holder who agreed to NOT prosecute former administration officials in return for votes in the Senate? Is that the Holder you are referring to?
"held accountable for crimes that far, far outweigh the petty ones that the poor and powerless are routinely and harshly penalized for."
That little morsel was so delicious I had to post it a second time.
I especially like the "held accountable for crimes...the poor and powerless are routinely and harshly penalized for."
That's my favorite part considering that this administration just named Tim Geithner, an admitted tax cheat, to Sec of the Treasury.
Can you tell me any other time in US history we have had a tax cheat in charge of the Treasury and the IRS?
Activity and movement perhaps. In the right direction? Not so much.
Sorry, but your point doesn't stand. Making stuff up, getting called out on it, and being proven wrong pretty much destroys your point.
Of course all of these facts are readily available to anyone who is inclined to be informed of them.

"What do you call issuing an order with a hard deadline for closing Guantanamo"
I'd call that "making up stuff" because that isn't what happened. Even Obie himself has said that Gitmo may be open through the end of his first term.

Oh Good Lord!
Another day.....ANOTHER Obama post.
Come on Neatorama....there are all sorts of truly neat things beyond the residents of the White House that you could create posts about.

Roadtripcrazed,
The crowd was only 700,000.
How does that affect the price per head?

As I said in post #35, there are very few people who are interested in the facts but calling Obama the first African American president is inaccurate.
In truth, he is the first Arab American president because his African heritage doesn't meet the legal threshold.

Clifford, you should look into the legal definitions regarding who can claim minority status.
Guess what, Obama doesn't meet the threshold.

Guess it's tough to argue when the facts are outside of your narrow fixed view.
It seems like BO is keeping the practice of rendition as a tool in the War on Terror.
This is bound to cause a huge amount of bed wetting among the HopeyChangers.
Heh.
