Biden: Obama Was Wrong About The Economy

So now VP Biden is saying that everyone was wrong about how bad the economy really was:
Biden tells "Meet the Press" that "everyone guessed wrong" on the impact of the stimulus, economy was worse off than anyone thought.

Backs away from the estimate that the funds could create or save 3.5 million jobs, instead promises 600,000 by the end of the summer.
So, all the geniuses like Tax Cheat Timothy Geitner, who just HAD to be confirmed because NO ONE ELSE could POSSIBLY handle the economy like he could...was wrong.

Naturally, this means that we need ANOTHER massive stimulus package.

The numbers don't lie. The Obama economic plan is a failure.

CBS Screams: Limbaugh’s Favorable Rating At 19%!

Oh my god!! People hate Rush Limbaugh!

But wait!

From the same poll, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D), has only an 18% approval rating.

New CBS headline: Limbaugh More Popular Than Democrat Speaker!

Other tidbits:
  • 57% of people think the country is on the wrong track
  • 47% think labor unions have too much influence
  • 68% find pork earmarks unacceptable (Are you listening Senator Schumer (D)?
  • Joe Biden has a 23% favorable rating

AIG Is Nothing. I'm pissed at the Senate's Automatic Raises

Ignore the faux outrage over AIG. The bigger problem is the Senate. US Senators get automatic pay raises each year. This year, that amounts to an additional $4,700.

GOP Sen. David Vitter did try to attach an amendment to the recent $410-billion pork bill, but Sen. Reid (D) killed it.

So we're in a recession, people are losing jobs, and only 18% of Americans think Congress is doing a good job.

So, WHY exactly do "our" Senators deserve a raise?

$165-million at AIG for bonuses. Big deal. That is nothing compared to all the pork contained in the "stimulus" bill.

Senator Schumer says Americans don't care about pork. If true, why should we care about a piddling $165-million spent at AIG?
