Hello, all!
I have had several people ask me why I didn't post a blog following BHO's speech, last week. The main reason why is because I thought it was a joke of a speech and it frustrated me. There was very little detail to his words and such vague promises I had no idea what the topic was! The part that came out clear was that he was going to spend a LOT of U.S. tax dollars as his plan to fix the economy. Sad.
Simple. Building a bigger Government is not the answer. That model has failed over and over. That plan will NOT help stimulate the economy, will NOT create private sector business and job growth and will surely only make the weak weaker.
There are some readers who give me a hard time about my sources of information - often I am accused of simply regurgitating what is reported by Fox News. Not true at all. I dig into several sources for information and have shared those sources with you, in the past. It is true that my opinion about CNN and MSNBC is that it is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE for those 2 networks to conduct an unbiased interview. However, I do force my self (eyes burning and ears bleeding) to spend some time watching interviews on those networks as much as I can stand to.
This brings me to an interview on CNN with John McCain commenting on BHO's speech on Feb 24, 2009 and providing his take on the stimulus plan.

John McCain tried to give an excellent interview, but of course the dumb reporter kept trying to interrupt him - that is because John McCain was making a great point and the Liberal CNN Producer had to blow it up before YOU as viewers actually starting getting proper insight to what is really going on.
Points that I hope stuck with you:
1) BHO promising to end earmarks, but the next DAY he had a bill in front of him w/ over 9,000 of them. Apparently his Liberal buddies think they have exemption?
2) McCain's comments on the math of spending and yet claiming to have a goal of cutting the deficit in half during his term. Uhhhhhh....how?
3) Who is this plan helping and who is it hurting?
Let me be clear that I am not hoping for failure of this plan. I must point out that now that the plan has been passed, BHO now OWNS this economic state. He was able to persuade a majority of Senators and Congress members to join him in creating this plan with their agenda. Because BHO and the Liberal members excluded the GOP, most Republicans voted against it. They made the right choice by not voting for legislation they had no say in and legislation they didn't believe in!
What has been the result so far? Well....nothing. Nothing is changing. What is worse is that there are no indicators of potential growth. Roger is going to ask for proof....this one is easy. Look at the Stock Market. Regular daily drops of 200 points or more. Another indicator? BHO's approval rating is now down to near 50% in many polls and has been on a continual slide since the innaguration.
Why would BHO, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Harry Reid and the rest of these high profile Liberals continue to back a bad plan? If history says it is wrong, why are they doing it? If it isn't going to help, why did it pass and why is it moving forward? What is their ultimate agenda? To these questions I am torn. Either these *leaders* are completely clueless and have motivations that are clouding their judgement so bad they don't realize that the plan is horrible. Or, there is a power trip going on with the Liberal movement. If the plan goes as predicted - creating bigger government and making millions more Americans dependent on the governement for their livelihood - the Liberal politicians have more relevence and longer tenure. It is evil, it is bad and it is dangerous for America. I can't believe I almost hope these leaders are simply clueless.
Stay educated, everyone!
Cheers!
Robb
