My wife made an interesting comment tonight: She has been noticing how
today the news programs she saw and heard today was filled by repugs and Corporate exes whining up a storm about the stimulus bill more than usual. More than she notice before and she said to me:


"The reason why they are flooding the airwaves and audio waves is because they are scared sh!tless after the fact Obama's approval ratings are now in the 80s AND what they are scared of more than ever before with all the stalling and wrenches they throw at it. If 1/4th of it is successful it would kill any and all of the Repugs hope for '10 and '12."

3. just wait until the health care industry ramps up the noise
to oppose reform, and hopefully, a single payer system.

You ain't heard nothing yet

4. They can't let Obama succeed, he has to fail WORSE THAN BUSH!
If Obama turns out to be a mediocre president, he will still beat any Republican in 2010.

The GOP has no leadership and there's no time for them to develop anyone of presidential stature.

6. Rush Limpballs is using the same 6th-grade tactic probably used on him by schoolyard peers...
If you say something bad about Jindal, I won't like you.

7. It doesn't matter
how much of the stimulus bill is successful. Teh repugs will never admit that it worked at all. They will just come up with some bullshit reason as to why the economy improved.

8. It's everyday since Obama won the Primary on CNBC
CNBC has been unabashedly ripping the administration for months. They cry for more specifics like he's going to go into the 1000 page stimulus bill during a Whitehouse briefing on TV, when they could probably download the friggin' info. They want to "hear confidence and reassurance in his speaches", yet they do nothing but talk shit, gloom and doom all day.

None of those Ass Clown Anchors or their Guests really know how to fix the economy. 20 People will have 20 different opinions, and these are our top minds on Wall Street. The only time they agree is when the administration isn't doing it right, they should cut corporate taxes, and the Government is taking over the country! Nationalization! Socialization! Oh the Humanity.
