It's just more political drivel. Government this, government that, government, government, government, government, government...
His grab bag of proposals are just total nonsense and won't do a thing to solve the countries problem.

Of course none of us will surprise each other with our responses to the speech tonight but you know it was a damned good one for sheeple consumption.

Is it the real Obama or just rhetoric in your view? He was definitely sounding more like the tea party.

Well he can't go back on what he has laid on the table so I wouldn't call it rhetoric.
More like reality hits the WH. He is doing things that in good times, he would never consider but with the dire situation the economy is in...he has no choice.
Will it work? Can't say but he is putting the ball in the congress's court and making them play too.

That was candidate Obama. He offered about a half-trillion dollars of government spending and said it was all paid for. He introduced us to the American Jobs Act. Is that thing available anywhere? Does anyone know what is actually in it?
It is easy to say this stimulus plan will work, and that everything is paid for. I missed the part on how all this is paid for.

It's easiest to realize this one WILL work based on the stunning success of the one before.
Hopey changey and all that stuff.

NYT[Excerpt]
O.K., about the Obama plan: It calls for about $200 billion in new spending — much of it on things we need in any case, like school repair, transportation networks, and avoiding teacher layoffs — and $240 billion in tax cuts.
Is this how the AJA balances out? $200B in new spending is "paid for" with $240B in tax cuts?
Doesn't the $200B in new spending need to be paid for with $200B in spending cuts?
If this were personal finances and I spent an additional $200 a week, and reduced my income by $240 a week, would I have an extra $40 left over every week?

What normal people think of as simple math these muddled fools see as Laplace transforms. But the case could be made some of them are far more intelligent and this future economic voodooism fits the more diabolic goal of furthering the diminishment of this country.
