I think we can all agree ..... Obama has kept a very big promise and fulfilled a big wish.
He promised to get us a bill that would start the nation on the road to recovery. Today he signed the biggest single bill in the history of the nation, and likely the entire history of mankind.

His wish was to have a bill on his desk on his first day in office. Figuratively, that happened. He has yet to be there for 30 days. In the scope of history, that is an instant.




Don't let the assholes on the nooz spoil this day. The stock market tanking has to do with Asia and virtually **nothing** to do with this new law.

1. And we OWN it -- the Rethugs wanted no part ... so WHEN IT WORKS
we can TAKE FULL CREDIT! I heard Paul Begala say this
morning that this plan is similar to the one passed (with
NO RETHUG VOTES) under Clinton, and that it will work.
My hopes and prayers that he's right!

3. A good first step. Not the best, perhaps, but good.

15. Remains to be seen whether this bill will start the nation on the road to recovery.
But he did bust his hump getting this bill passed, as did a lot of others. I hope they did right.

17. Unfortunately, it may not be big enough.
I'm hoping in 2 years, he tries to sign another bigger bill. I just don't think this is enough, and neither do most economists.

18. Well, it really looks like a significant percentage
are setting themselves up to be able to argue "I liked a lot of things in the bill, but I couldn't in good conscience vote for the whole package."

Unfortunately, for a few of them it will work.
