Decades in the making, coming to a head with the agenda of obama.

George Will - this speech at CPAC is a MUST SEE. He was hilarious and right on point to the entitlement mentality of the democrats in virtually every program, policy and idea they have.

THE best speech of CPAC.

I would encourage the Left to watch and listen to his speech - he articulates exactly how the obama agenda is viewed by a majority of the public.

Yes lamar, i agree. And too many of those OPEN MINDS going around when they voted for Obama. Now just look where we are as a Country, a very sad state of Affairs. And no way it is getting better any time soon. Just take a look around. Right on target indeed!

Very good indeed, and so right on TARGET, how can you say it is not. Democrats have alwyas been about entitlements. No way will they stop their ways now. Look at the freaking mess we are in, and it is Obama's watch, no one else, say what you may, it is was it is. And it ain't no good NEW CHANGE.

Where have y'all been for the last two years? Seriously, the economy is much better now than it was a year ago. The economy went to crap during a Republican administration.

I'm not happy with everything the Democrats have tried to get through, however, Republicans aren't offering anything different now, then they did in 2001 through 2009.

So, before we start pointing fingers at which party is having us in a "sad state" (which we aren't, we are better now than we were), perhaps we can come up with some new ideas, that don't follow the same plan.

Like, less taxes for everyone. Thats still what Republicans are pushing, and its obvious, that didn't work.

Maybe we can just keep taxes the same, and lower spending on things like the military.

I think it extremely instructive as Will goes step by step, exposing the dependency and entitlement the democrats have been "teaching" for decades and exactly what that kind of mentality has done to the country.

I challenge all to watch and actually debate his points.

But that is because we are that much MORE dependent on the government to keep the wheels moving, not because we really recovered.

Taxes will not stay the same with the Bush tax cuts expiring at the end of this year. Everyone's taxes will go up..even the poor making $249,999.99 and below.

Do you know what to do when you get a flat tire?

You put a spare on, to get you to a point where you can fix the main tire.

Same thing with the economy. When you hit a pothole (Bush deregulation and lower taxes) then you're going to get a flat. Now, do you sit on your butt and wait for someone to fix it? Or do you take your wheel to the next town on your back, and get it fixed and bring it back? Or do you put a spare on, thats not meant to be permanent, and then get to town, and then fix it.

I say we take a little extra cash out, get the economy moving, then when things are better, we pay for the extra we had to have to get by.

Thats what Obama has done, put a spare on the economy. We are moving again, thank God. Now, the question is do we continue riding on the spare, or do we fix the original tire.

Republicans just ***** because he put the spare on, and offer no way to fix the old tire. Thats my problem with them. The guys who are offering a fix, are only offering the same tired Bush policies that don't work.

Seriously, a year ago the UE rate was 7.4%, now its 9.7% and expected to rise. Seriously, a year ago we had 4 million more people with a job.

Seriously, a year ago, the deficit was $500 Billion, now its $1.6 Trillion and expected to be $9 Trillion in 9 years.

Seriously, a year ago the debt was at least 40% less than it is now.

Obama took a Trillion out of the private sector for a long list of liberal pork barrel projects. By all measures, the Failed Stimulus has failed miserably.

A waste of $1 Trillion+

I just have to ask; Did you even bother to watch Will and listen to what he said?

20-30 minutes of your time well worth it to understand just how badly the democrats have duped so many for so long.
