OBAMA: I want everybody here to be on notice that if a local government does the same, I will call them out on it and use the full power of my office and our administration to stop it.
RUSH: Well, his administration is engaged in the worst example of waste we have ever seen. You know, when you listen to Obama you have to assume the opposite on veritably everything he says. Does anybody really believe that he’s going to call out any federal agency that wastes any money? His whole plan is to waste money. His whole plan is to deficit spend. His whole plan is to bankrupt agencies. Look, Mr. Hazlett is right. Social Security, Medicare, all these things coming up for the Baby Boomers? Where’s that money going to come from? You’re going to have to add it on top of all the deficits that are mounting up now. Nobody with a brain would be doing this on purpose if their aim was to assist, if their aim was to fix what’s going on.

More pointedly, key political victories for the Team Obama spending plan have not been viewed as buying opportunities on Wall Street. A string of negative market reactions began with the December 18 announcement of a stimulus bill of $700 billion (Dow down 2.5%), continued with the January 7 announcement that the actual plan would be 'on the high side' (-2.7%) and continued with last weeks 61-36 Senate vote supporting the Administrations fiscal plan. The White House victory and the new bank bail-out plan announced the following day by Treasury Secretary Geithner were met with a 5% wipe-out in the DJI, and a decline in Treasury bond yields, indicating a 'flight to quality.'"
