Obama Must Beware the Gap Between His Rhetoric and His Politics

No Gap Between Pay and Play, As Usual

"So far, concerns over Obama's policies have not translated into a loss of public support despite the rise in the numbers out of work."

____________

Which may testify to how much the Republicans are disliked. People aren't blaming Obama and are increasingly recognizing the persistent Goebbels tactics of the GOP. Incidentally, offering us a "Listening Tour" is pouring salt on the wound.

The GOP is struggling to keep its diminished power. I hope it costs them a bundle.

Priority...NOT AGENDA

Through all the mis-reporting of the TParty movement, the major complaint against the Obama/Pelosi/Reid team is a huge amount of mis-directed spending. GWB did not enter office expecting 911 but that is what he got and that became his priority. Obama entered office knowing about his "911", the economy. This crisis has not become his priority, rather an excuse to forward his agenda with a price tag never before seen in history.

Despite the "confidence" reflected in the polls, no one has the confidence to spend or start a business or to hire new employees.

I believe America will eventually stumble out of the recession but will find it has a BIG DEBT hangover from all the Obama kool-aid they've been drinking.
