I watched a recent PBS interview with Vernon Jordan. He's an avid Obama
supporter, but also an avid believer in free enterprise and capitalism.
He
believes our economic system is the best in the world but is subject to
"flat tires" now and then. It doesn't mean you throw away the car.

So far only about 5 percent of the stimulus money Obama has signed has hit
the streets. Yet, there are growing indications that the economy is
slowly
but surely beginning to self correct in a typical cycle exhibited many
times
before, but without putting the country into assured and permanent
bankruptcy.


Nice positioning. "Self-correct" may include people actually
believing we're on the right course. You couldn't help but position
it as "self-correcting" to undercut Obama's efforts.

Very nuanced and disingenuous.

Recessions are hard to go through, but like a hurricane
clearing overgrown forests, they can benefit overall.


Did you look at the rate of job loss as compared with 1930 or the late
1980s?

It looked a ****load worse. Hands in pockes isn't the right response.

What was your better idea?

Yes, I know and feel for the unemployed, but opportunities arise out of
necessity. This isn't the first time or the last. I am fearful that
this
time there was an over reaction, and much of it is political, not economic
based.


Cliche bull****. Go look at the numbers and tell me you'd have made a
better decision if at the wheel.

Sheesh.



Enjoy yourself. But remember. There are still twice as many
conservatives in this country than there are liberals.

Not all conservatives are Republipukes.

They are when they step into the voting booth. I'm fine with the
independents since most lean socialist these days.

The "conservatives" screwed the pooch plenty good.
