Actuallly I am not surprised.

If anyone ever dared check on my history posts, I already predicted that Obama would behave and rule exactly like Octavian for all the same reasons.

I see no need to explain why.

While I am saying the same as all of the above, I shall do it a bit more colorfully;


Like CLinton listening to Dick Morris, Barak is going off the deep end. Its like he is drugged and is now hallucinating a sugar plum world of satisfying the vast right wing Wall St. conspiracy. Did he have some wierd dream about a bipartisan pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

There is rumor that he will ask for a spending freeze like Hoover did.

What strange ceremony has he gone to?
Put one foot in hot water, put one foot in cold water and a damp towel on your forehead while chanting the bonesmen chant.


Is he planning to take the remaining 9 trillion dollars of funny money to build mineshaft bunkers to survive a cataclysm? I can hear George C Scott yelling WE MUST NOT HAVE A MINE SHFT GAP. Maybe then and only then would the Brak I know be making any sense with his actions.

While he is good at tossing off a scolding remark to bankers now and then, his actions leave the middle class shit out of luck just like the rest of the AH Presidents since Kennedy.

A fake to the right here and a dodge to the left there, Barak, its better to be BOLD even if it puts your family in jeopardy, in order to save ours.
That is the ultimate burdon of leadership sir. But you chose the job.



IF McCain had won we would now have Phil Graham in charge of the economy. He would have stopped taxing the rich altogether and after that the limits of his imagination would have run dry.

I have no doubt he's trying to do his job, but I don't think he's doing it all that well so far. And remember, I prefer him by a margin of at least 10 to 1 over having John McCain in the Oval Office. Nevertheless, I am disappointed in his performance.

Contrary to the beliefs of the "conservatives" the government of the US needs to be managed. Money needs to be spent wisely, where it does the most good. To placate the Republicans Obama would have to cut or eliminate all social spending and only then would they be placated if they got all the credit.

It is not Republican or Democrat to try to spend wisely and cut waste.

Obama is simply trying to do his job.

Yeah, Peter...I have seen several 'liberal' opinions that tend to agree with you. I'll confess, I have little idea of his underlying strategy in this. (Somehow, I never get invited to the planning sessions.. ☺)

In the continuing saga of Obama losing the thread of the thing, it now appears that in the teeth of massive unemployment and a populist uprising, he is proposing a freeze on discriminatory spending -- i.e. symbolic gestures to placate the Republican story line. Who does he think this is going to satisfy? It will just give him the continuing reputation as a compromising ditherer out of touch. This is not good, even for supporters of Obama in general (of which I am one!)

As various commentators have pointed out, this is essentially recapitulating 1937, and ensuring that the grim news among the citizens will continue to play itself out. Meanwhile in an interview, he suggests that he would rather be a good one term president than a mediocre two term president. Er, Barack, you are heading for the obvious third alternative....

Meanwhile, back in folk music....

yours,
