The Beckian Wing of Conservatism
When will conservatives figure out that with Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, and so on that IT IS ONLY ABOUT THE MONEY.
You honestly don't believe that they believe the crap they spew, do you?

IF IT WASN'T SO FRIGHTENING, I WOULD LAUGH
"A CEO is accountable to his Board of Directors whose job it is to monitor corporate performance, select a CEO, and/or replace that CEO when warranted."
And most importantly, the Board of Directors have a fiduciary duty to the shareholders to maximize shareholder wealth, you know, the people who own the company.
And there are a hell of of a lot of Boards that have done a terrible job.
I, for one, believe the shareholders need more power and be able to hold the boards accountable. How that is done, I have no idea.

"But holy jesus christ how can someone with more 1/2 a brain not recognize what just happened on Capitol Hill as politics as usual."
Politics as usual? Surely you jest.
When was the last time an $800 billion stimulus bill was passed in three weeks?
It is an unprecedented bill passed as a result of an unprecedented disaster of a President left our economy in ruins.
And what appeared to be a double post was because I left off this sentence. "And with so much on the line, it’s time to begin doing things differently.”
I thought I made it clear.
Geez. And you've the guts to call me ignorant?
1. A bill negotiated behind closed doors (transparency under the bus)2. A bill with zero Republican input - he even lied about what the GOP counter proposal was (bi-partisanship under the bus)
3. There is about $250 billion dollars in this spending bill that goes directly to Democratic constituencies ("New politics" under the bus).
Please don't get into an argument with me. Especially when you show such monumental stupidity about the campaign promises this jamoke has already broken. You can't see it because you are so far gone, you've lost the capacity for rational thought.
I don't think you are quite old enough yet to play with the adults who visit this blog. I won't ban you but you will not be able to comment until you grow up.

Update. I left off a sentence. Sorry.
Why I like Obama and why the wingnuts should think again about the value of the stimulus.
Today in his latest YouTube address Obama says: “Now, some fear we won’t be able to effectively implement a plan of this size and scope, and I understand their skepticism. Washington hasn’t set a very good example in recent years. And with so much on the line, it's time to begin doing things differently."
That's twice you've posted the same quote.
Look - you are new so I will give you a little slack. But holy jesus christ how can someone with more 1/2 a brain not recognize what just happened on Capitol Hill as politics as usual. How can anyone say with a straight face that this guy is doing anything - anything different than his predecessors?
I have never banned anyone for being ignorant but you are coming close.

Ouch! Anyone else here thinking permanent minority for the GOP?
You know, you don't sound old enough to be commenting on this site. What is your age?

"And how embarassing for you that you don’t know enough history to realize how stupid that statement is."
Just as you are entitled to your opinion I am entitled to mine.
And when the President inherits a surplus turns it into $5 trillion in deficits, ignores the 4th amendment and spies on Americans, tortures our prisoners, ignores habeas corpus, launches an unnecessary war, ignores the warnings and allows the worst terror attack in U.S., and politicizes the Justice Department, to me that adds up to the worst President ever.
And you have the nerve to criticize Obama for spending less than 1/5 of what Bush frittered away. And Obama's spending is to pull out out of the worst economy since the depression. And is also when no other tools are left(feds fund rate is 0%).
Thanks for your input but I'm standing behind my original post.
Worst President Ever.

"Please don’t come here spouting your talking points."
I gonna post my thoughts, just as everyone else. And if you don't it like simply ban me.
But I will not be influenced by a meaningless jab that I'm only posting talking points.
We are not a lefty blog here. We don't ban people unless they get hateful or obscene. (or annoy me) We have a high level of commenter here - people who can think and write rather than parroting what they hear on other sites. To wit:
Duh.......George Bush, he's uh....duh....da woist prezident in da histry.
How original. And how embarassing for you that you don't know enough history to realize how stupid that statement is. My cat knows more American history than you do, as you prove by making an observation that you've seen on other websites that are equally bereft of any proof whatsoever.

"It will take very creative ineptness to turn what was a deep recession into a depression."
And the GOP has given it their best shot. Thank God they are pretty powerless and couldn't muster enough votes.
And it's still gonna be a long deep recession. Bush mucked things up the worst in our country's history. $5 trillion in deficits. $1 trillion on an unnecessary war that got us zero.
Bush was the worst President ever and it's gonna take a long time to fix.
Your ignorance of American history is embarassing. Please don't come here spouting your talking points. If we wanted to read them we would go to DNC.org.

"There is real danger his bungling will result in a catastrophic economic collapse as bad as the worst in our history."
It's already happened. And the bungler was George Bush.
It will take very creative ineptness to turn what was a deep recession into a depression. Obama seems to be doing fine in that regard.

"But unless our unsteady and clueless Treasury Secretary can get his act together – and quickly – the dominoes will begin to topple, starting with giants like Citibank, working its way down to powerful regional banks like Fifth Third."
So what do you propose should be done. More wingnut welfare? Hate to break the news to you but the banks are insolvent now and have been for many months.
I like how our Treasury Secretary is handling it. Let them fail. Wipe out the common shareholders (they gambled and lost) and let the healthy banks pick up the pieces.
You're not proposing more corporate welfare are you?
