Obama Faces a Delay for His Economic Recovery Plan

What some people seem to forget is that this “stimulus package” is going to have to be paid for by someone at some time and in some way. No doubt that way will eventually be in the form of higher taxes. In other words, what this brainstorm amounts to is the raising of your taxes to supplement your income which, of course, is nothing more than an exercise in IDIOCY!!

I'm a 23 year old from Florida and I read a lot of history and let me tell you. The republicans are already on fire and their trying to put it out with gasoline that party has been dead since 9/11 they just dint know it that fat cunning egotistical murder Dick Chaney says the job of the party was to pick up the pieces of the country after the attacks I say the Parties job was to prevent it but hey history does repeat itself remember pearl harbor when Roosevelt allowed japan to attack because he knew the US people would not allow him to enter the European conflict without something a war cry? Sounds familiar to 9/11 doesnt it people blame Bush but his too stupid to mastermind this his just a puppet for the media to spit at and blame a real life SCAPEGOAT and his too dumb to REALIZE IT. funny if it was not so tragic and the American people need to realize this is their fault too YES I SAID IT ITS YOU FAULT IDIOTS for been too busy to vote and too busy getting pregnant at 16 and high all the time to not see your rights been sucked out of the constitution but YOUR elected officials who bailout the bankers to save the credit market while leaving the same bankers who ran the economy into the ground geez talk about a ponzi scheme madoff has nothing on hank paulson that lying rat bastard. Welcome to armaggedon America created by your ignorance
and lack of interest in the slimy vomit pool we call the US government. another Hitler is on the way lets see if you can spot him but it wont do you any good know only a unified people can stop this train and I'm sorry but that is not very likely. oh and here is a hint Americas Hitler begings with a B and is not Bush!

I am a registered Republican and its pretty obvious I am no longer represented and maybe haven't been for a very long time.
It seems that Washington is stuck in the mire of 1957 politics and astoundingly incompetent. President Obama needs some room to work and all these morons (both sides of the isle) can do is clog the pipe. Give the guy a chance for crying out loud.
Trying to run a country completely by committee is ridiculous. What are you going to do if some nut sends a Nuclear device and we can't built a ship, a plane, a tank or even sew our own armies clothing. Where are you going to get scientists educated enough to address a problem and where would they work anyway.
Would they ride a japanese bike to a german assembly plant and order fatigues from Walmart? Our government is in shambles. Everyone under 30 better prey a real Hitler doesn't show up. He'll practice genocide on your spoiled rotten selves. I am just astounded when I read the articles of todays situation.

Bickering will only stalemate progressive action in our country. We need to act on needs and not politics which got us into this mess.The word "I" does not a team make.We the people must be the national voice.Promises quickly become obsolete but reality quickly challenges our priorities.Let's act as a united people not individuals. The needs of one may help many but the needs of many become a quorum of success. The complexities of our world have many branches and can easily sufficate us. Let's start trimming before we start cutting into selfish porkbarrel concerns. The people have spoken for"change", let's not trample over it before we value what's best for our country.
