Democrats outline terms under which Ohaha will campaign for candidates:
(1) No Obama photos with candidates.
(2) Obama does not stand too close to candidates at rallies.
(3) Obama does not mention Democrat, and the candidate's name, in the same sentence.
(4) Obama does not mention healthcare and if he has a cold or a cough, he stays in the WH.
(5) Under no circumstances will rally entertainers sing or play, "Chicago, Chicago, that Toddlin' Town."
(6) No foods served with hot sauce.
(7) All contributions from the DNC are returned unopened.

CNBC's outspoken Rick Santelli said that all government spending is not created equal, and that Obama's so-called stimulus spending went to govt payrolls and not the infrastructure improvement it was sold as.
The $786B TARP Bailout is now being called, "A MASTERFUL DECEIT." Paulson, et al, may not have pulled a fast one when he testified in favor of the TARP before Congress----but Congress' phony outrage is a puzzlement. If HR 1424 was a 'MASTERFUL DECEIT' then CONGRESS didn't do its job.

In HR 1424, there are enough rules, regs and CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT REQUIRED that not one Thin Dime should have been 'misspent.' So if anything crooked did go on Congress should look in a mirror. They dropped the ball -- again. And the same Gangster Government will run our healthcare.

DID YOU KNOW? TARP was not designed to be a pool of money available for bailout of just anything that didn't move, like a couple of bankrupt unionized companies in the automobile industry? TARP was very specific in its purpose to provide liquidity to frozen banking and financial system and stave off the run on the banks (attack on the financial system, by proxy) and allow the 'netting' of the [frozen] assets on the books of financial institutions, in the aftermath of the fall of Lehman Bros and the run on trillions of dollars in money market funds in the consequent "breaking the buck" by private Reserve Primary Fund managed by Bruce Bent.
