I and everyone else I know personally knew from the git-go that this Obama was going to be bad, very bad. Dangerously bad. All we had to do was study up on his history, his mysteries, and his friends and associates, to know what we needed to know to be scared for the future.

You might be right about Scott Brown....history will tell....and you are right, some folks are going to be choking on their hats when they have to admit that a rino saved us.

Well stated. I think I will post this as a reply in another thread, giving you credit of course.

Wasn’t our national debt this year 3 times greater than the spending he plans to freeze?

If he ELIMINATED that part of the budget entirely, he would STILL have twice the debt of GW Bush’s worst year!

"Still no word from Paul Krugman, but we won't be surprised if he chimes in with a paragraph or two somtime tonight."

Bah. Krugman would only say something positive about 0bama's decisions at this point, at least until Bernanke is confirmed...because Krugman is 0bama's replacement if Bernanke is rebuked. Krugman is not going to blow his shot at being Fed Chair.

Not that it matters, but 0bama doesn’t have the guts to stick with any tough decision for 3 years.

Quick, Quick ! Put out the fire !

Wait, there’s another one over there, put it out, use the water left over from the last fire !

Oh no, 3 more fires . . . call in the Brown Shirts, shut down transit, the web and food shipments, put the Army Reserve on notice, air out the retrainment camps.

He hasn’t a clue.

I knew Obama was going to be a bad president, but even I didn’t imagine he would be this bad, this quick. I expected the economy to rebound in spite of what he did, and he would get enough credit to get by for 3 years or so.

As bad as 0bama is, and he is about as bad as you say, the Democrat Congress deserves at least as much blame for engineering the real estate crisis that has plunged the US into the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression, hopelessly wasteful deficit spending and focusing on their nutjob Healthcare Hijack as well as other disastrous policies instead of helping the economy.

History will show that Scott Brown saved the republic.

Let's not forget that he wouldn't have had to if the Republican establishment had support Coleman in Minnesota.

Instead, they sat on their hands while the demoRats filed lawsuit after lawsuit while manufacturing votes to install Al Franken.

He’s more and more like Jimmy Carter every day.

Perhaps he has had a frontal lobama.

Fox headline: GOP Says Freeze Won't Dent Debt

The GOP should take what it can get and ask for much, much more. Remember how successful the class of '94 was at getting a spending freeze in 1995? Sure this is another Obama gimmick, but one designed to bait Republicans I suspect. Hopefully, it will just alienate the Dem majority, but proceed with caution.

When every proposal seeks to maximize political advantage instead of solving the problem, this is what you get.

Sure, but I would describe most of Dubya's Medicare prescription drug benefit and other "compassionate conservative" proposals the same way.

Reagan maybe made a few spending cuts here and there and then cut taxes but then increased defense spending and raised taxes again. Democrats are clearly the biggest spenders, but Republicans don’t have much credibility with spending cuts except perhaps with idiot Democrat voters who thought Republicans were going take away public school lunches.

..and a lot of Republicans went along with the Democrat agenda even when the Democrats were in the minority!
