"A catastrophe looms, Obama tells the nation; Pushes stimulus, says ways must change" by Susan Milligan, Globe Staff | February 10, 2009
WASHINGTON - President Obama.... said he is "absolutely confident" the nation can overcome this crisis, but he warned that the government, business, and consumers must change their ways. He also declared Republicans who oppose his massive spending plan on ideological grounds should not engage in "revisionist history."
Oh he's something else, isn't he?
*************
Consumers, too, need to learn to live within their means, Obama said, and not buy a house "with zero down" and taking on mortgages they cannot afford.
Pretty hard to do when the AmeriKan dream is being held in front of you like some golden chalice as some slick banker tells you everything will be no problem!
Of course, THOSE CRIMINALS get TAXPAYER BAILOUTS that 'bamer here was ALL IN FAVOR!!! Isn't it NICE of 'bamer to BLAME YOU -- the people who VOTED FOR HIM -- for the economy's woes?
Obama's first evening news conference included a wide array of questions, including whether he would reverse a Bush administration policy of barring media coverage of military casualties being brought home as well as his positions on Iran and Afghanistan. He said he would study the matters before commenting.
Ball number one, gone!
He called the disclosure that professional baseball player Alex Rodriguez used performance- enhancing drugs earlier in his career "depressing," and said he hoped it would make young people realize "there are no shortcuts" to success.
First of all, WHO GIZ a S*** about A-ROD?!!! NOT ME!! NO PLACE in a "NEWS" REPORT!
Secondly, there are no short cuts unless you happen to be a banker, war-looter, pharmaceutical, other corporation, or Israel. Then the $$$ is no problem' it's all tax-payer dough!
Obama also declined to comment on a proposal by Vermont Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy establishing a "truth and reconciliation commission" to investigate alleged Bush administration crimes, including violations of international bans on torture.
Ball number two, whoosh!
"Generally speaking, I'm more interested in looking forward than I am in looking backwards," Obama said....
And THAT is YOUR PROBLEM, you ass-kissing eunuch!!!
--more--"
Also see: It is only government that.....
