Obama is dead wrong, and he's been listening to the wrong advisors. This is what we get when we elect a president who knows nothing about these subjects, and then he chooses the wrong advisors to tutor him.

Yea right... The GOP has no problem meddling in other countries affairs or starting illegal wars or funding defense contractors for weaponry we will likely never need or use. But heaven forbid if we were to invest in out country and our own countries welfare than it is all of sudden taboo....

It's taboo when it was never meant to help the country one bit. It's a pay for play scheme which all democrats should understand by now...

It's fine to invest in our country but do it right and have a way to pay for it and have realistic projections. So far Obama has been way off with his overly optimistic projections.

He should not be trying to rush these bills through without debate and consensus.
