Attention Mr. Krugman, et al.....This ain't no Boy Scout Outing that we are talking about...
Advertisements [?]
If Mr. Krugman and some of ya'll think that the Democrats were going to get their wish list with this Historically gigantic Stimulus Package after what Bush Jr. Did with half of the 700 Billion bailout money (that no one knows what was done with!), you are out of your mind.

We aren't going to get everything in the Stimulus that we want.

Barack Obama is not Santa Claus.

and, Barack Obama is not Bush Jr.! He ain't gonna ram through a bill just because he might can.

If anything, we better be glad that a Bill of an unheard gigantic amount will pass, and know that it will have many very good worthwhile items in it. I'm sure that Education and Aids to States will be put back into the Bill (if they have been taking out) during conference....as Obama will shame the opposition into doing just that.

But to believe that we were going to get a Bill exactly as each and every one of us envisioned it, that's a bit over the top in miracle wishing. Oh...and could someone let Mr. Krugman know, he who writes a good game but has yet to have actually "done" anything that even closely resembles what it is that President Obama has to do, that the more he blames our democracy and how it works on Barack Obama, the more I feel like telling him to STFU. Perhaps he should start attacking the fucked up media instead, as opposed to going on all of the same fucked up chatter shows that are killing us with their manipulation of the ignorant public, and tell them the fuck off, and to call them on their PR ploy to confuse the public (maybe he can write a column on that too, while he's at it).....since he's soooo fucking smart and all!!

As for us, if we want something included in the bill that is not there, I suggest that we start inudating those congress critters who are responsible for those things gone missing. It ain't all about Barack Obama, and he has always told us that it wasn't. If you want to get mad about a bill that you are still not sure of what it will look like once everything is said and done, than do something about it.....apart from than sitting up here writing about how President Obama this, and President Obama that....

The financial problems that you are experiencing or are about to experience weren't caused by President Obama, and the only solution ain't simply to decide that you know better than he.....because I can guarantee you this; your superior knowledge ain't gonna get you diddly squat if we don't start fighting the media and the opposition congress to actually change the public perception on this stimulus.
