Do you have some special software that makes every liberal post invisible to you?

There's a difference between crying wolf when there is no wolf, and when there is. Certainly someone has told you that story somewhere along the line...

Ah so typical of you Saggy. The man runs all over Europe apologizing for the greatest country since the beginning of time. Bows to a King placed on his throne by American entrepreneurs. Initiates the largest socialist coup in the history of the planet. Yea..I can see why a guy like you would love this moron.

Yup, a realist through and through. Often unfamiliar territory to those on the right, though. You may think of me as your humble guide.

Which also just recently spit in the face of half the world over Iraq, then sunk the financial underpinnings of all of it single-handed. Mistakes were made. The past must be the past. Now is a time to start over.

Doesn't hurt to give a king some due. Especially if you might later be asking him for favors. As for the socialism rant, go do a periodical search for maybe 2005 and earlier looking for articles about why the Great Depression could never happen today. But first, maybe tell us what you thought of Nixon's wage/price controls in "socialist coup" terms...

That's a hoot! I don't want to follow anyone over a cliff.Although liberal hot air might work if I gather up enough of those trial balloons.

I agree with that, no use looking backwards. The financial underpinnings of 4x the money Bush spent in just 100 days, or if not spent budgeted to spend, this is the real disaster in the making.

I think there is no comparison. I will make a bet with you though. This unchecked liberal investment in spending us out of a recission wil create the second four year presidential term that enjoyed two recessions. Carter of course being the other. What gimmick do you think the politicians will come up with next. Just about out of gimmicks wouldn't you say?

I will hand it to you though Saggy. This one just may be irreversable. You may just get that socialist world of your dreams. You should have been more careful what you wished for because I don't think you are going to like it. Are you too old for the draft? That last great gimmick when all else fails. Some of these youngsters that post upp on here are going to have a rude awakenig within four years. Want to bet on that one too?

That is correct. It is the opiate and cover of all failing socialist and Marxist movements.

I'm not an expert on economics, but i can see a president who is not man enough to take responsibility for our current crisis, and whines about it all not being his fault.

Like the plumber, he was hired to fix things, not to point fingers and whine on national TV about it. And, unlike the plumber analogy, 0bama has partial responsibility for the current economy and TARP and bailouts.

Besides, over the past 6 months, 0bama has so drastically changed things that the state of our economy does not resemble what he claims he "inherited" any more, he owns this mess. So he needs to straighten his shoulders and get to work, not hunch over and sob.
