    G- - (is there such a thing?)

    The stimulus bill is anything but stimulus. He quotes Keynes about his fiscal policies. But I think Keynes' ghost would haunt him for using his economic principles to bankrupt a country. Economics is all about proper allocation of limited resources. US can't afford right now to be a socialistic country. Even if Bush had a 700B debt, Obama is SPENDING 20,000,000,000,000.00 (TRILLION) dollars in just one year. That's more than BUSH spent in his 8 years of presidency. Tax increases, even Whoopi Goldberg complained about the tax increases coming her way. And she's a big OBAMA supporter. US is not down in the ditch yet, but the way the president is doing his creating more problems than solving it. As for GITMO, if they can conspire to bomb the World Trade Center and other deadly activities, I don't doubt they can break out of prison in mainland and create havoc there. As for abortion, a lot of countries don't like abortion because it is against their religious belief. Politicians for abortion say that abortion is safer than being pregnant. HELL! Pregnancy is the safest and most natural thing in the world. Even wild animals without hospitals and medicine bring to life amazing creatures. And they argue that pregnancy is dangerous. Those are bullshit arguments. They ban off shore drilling because they prefer to destroy other countries rather than their own. As for Britain being ally, as far as I can remember US-Brit relationships are good. It has been good since US broke off with Britain in the 1700's. Britain has often called US it's brother. You would be ungrateful if you think otherwise. When Obama says it doesn't look into the movement of the market, he should look. Because markets react almost immediately to economic and policies impose by the present administration. A slight political mishap can affect the market immediately. Every single economist would know this.

    It took Jimmy Carter's dim witted flunkies until the end of May, 1977 to convince me that they were at best hopelessly inept mixed with corrupt to the point of depravity! Barack Obama's crew has succeeded in convincing me that they have beaten the Carter gang's record by all of 136 days! And yes, I am holding the President accountable for "Dingy Harry" , "Ninny Nancy" , and the whole of the US Congress! That is the price for having the Presidency, the US Senate, and the US House of Representatives all ruled by one party! (I'm using RULED in that last sentence, because they are acting as an Imperial Body; NOT that of a government acting on behalf of a self governing Free People!)

    In short , F-

    ** You are a so called conservative who loves taxes.

    ** Wars are a waste of money, buying things the country needs is not.

    ** Only idiots think peace should not be sought with foes.

    ** The stock market was already in the bear market and the same thing would have happened if any other president were there.

    ** I doubt he will quadruple the deficit, are you counting Bush's 700 billion when you say quadruple?

  • He better step it up as a REAL president if he wants a passing grade from me. I don't like him being in office, because I don't like a LOT of his ideas. Not saying McCain was any/much better... but I really don't like Obama.

    A lot of people have called me racist for my opinion on wanting him out of office. However, I'm not racist, I simply think we could have done a whole lot better in elections. Black, white, asian, hispanic, male, female...I don't care what they are in office, so long as their not stupid about things, and ARE a president! Don't go making promises you won't or can't keep. And don't do things that take away so much freedom. We're not communists here..and we don't believe in that! Otherwise we'd be in China or somewhere else where there is communism!

    This does not seem to be a question. Bush actually started the ball of destruction rolling and then he gave it a huge push right before Obama came into office. YOU know that.. I know that.. We all know that... It really did not matter who won the election, either one was screwed.

    I am not at all comfortable with his policies and will do everything in my power to see to it that we elect more conservatives in the next election. We need to reinstate a more balanced congress and senate.

    Its been 50 days . . . this guy is not the friggin messiah. But here i'll try to respond to your points.

    *** yep, however noone other than roosevelt came into power with the economy in such a bad shape. That was what 80 years ago? Don't agree with the spending but I can see why.

    ***See first answer.

    *** We were already in 2 trillion in debt to foreign nations.

    Get your head out your butt, we saddled them with debt 20 years ago. Your paying for your parents debt now.

    ***Wow dismissing politicians that think they are above the law and doing things behind closed doors. What a horrible characteristic to have.

    ***See last answer.

    ***Great Britian hasn't been an ally since we broke away from her in the 1700s

    ***The missile defense system was part of the last administations defense plans. Instead of building a multi-billion dollar project he opted to open negotiations up to have peace between the nations.

    ***Meeting with our enemies to settle differences. New concept we'll see if it works.

    ***Closing GITMO. I'm wish-washy with this one because I support torture if it means saving lives. What i don't support is being hypocritical about it and saying we don't torture when everyone knows we do.

    ***True that guy should have been executed if we could have proven his guilt.

    ***Soldiers are going to die in Afghanistan?!?! Your kidding right?? Oh please tell me that won't happen in war so I can naively feel better about our reason for being over there.

    ***Meeting with our enemies to settle differences. New concept we'll see if it works

    ***True.

    ***True

    ***True

    ***True

    ***True. However the difference is where its spent. Should mention that. Its not forcefully occupying a foreign nation, but rebuilding the intrastructure of the US.

    ***False. Too much of an exaggeration to seriously respond too.

    ***False. Too much of an exaggeration to seriously respond too.

    ***Meeting with our enemies to settle differences. New concept we'll see if it works.

    ***True. If they don't clean up their problems with the illegal imports of drugs to this country it will get worse.

    ***huh?? I'll have to get back to you on this

    ***True. Seperation of Church and State can I have it?

    ***True. Let's try and look for alternative fuel sources instead of depleting limited resources. After all we don't want to burden our children with a fuel crisis do we?
