I sense the leftwing media in general (Olbermann is the white padded room media) has let up on the Obama worship once they got him in and made their big historical statement. Now they are thinking about their money just like everyone else. When you read headlines about bank failure that include Bank of America to any degree people start to get serious. Notice Pelosi and Reid are being criticized by the moderate left now. The hard left hates everybody who isn't Hugo Chavez level. <BR/><BR/>Obama is in a difficult place. The markets speak objectively and the left media can't spin it away. Really, in America, these Alinsky types can only be parasites on a thriving economy. They can't run the show. Americans are always ready to kick some you know what at the polls.The Puritanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12200009028083050918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-67355853798717884922009-02-06T08:08:00.000-05:002009-02-06T08:08:00.000-05:00Obama will never be called out by the Media.

It matters not. Amazing, but true.<BR/><BR/>I saw Oberman last night and he was interviewing someone who said the larger the stimulus package the better for the nation.

They know the economy will run its course, so meanwhile they can do their socialist vandalism which will effect things to a slower degree towards economic hell and tyranny.<BR/><BR/>I'm surprised he did the Bill Clinton mistake regarding gays in the military. I'd thought he'd at least avoid that mistake. It shows he and his team are not as sharp as they seemed during the campaign.The Puritanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12200009028083050918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-10565810604102413302009-02-05T20:01:00.000-05:002009-02-05T20:01:00.000-05:00My fear is that this recession will run its natura...My fear is that this recession will run its natural course in about 12 months time, as most recessions do, and PRESTO! we have Obama's stimulus package to thank for it - when all it will have actually done is sink us into greater debt as our economy follows its normal laws of self-correction and rebounds. Obama and the Democrats get all the credit, and they all sail into re-election.David Gadboishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18375984671877016361noreply@blogger.com
