Slience the Opposition!

Slience the Opposition!

Obama and the Democractic leadership are directly going after Rush, Hannity and even Jim Cramer! Cramer is the Chariman of TheStreet.com and host of Mad Money on CNBC and has recently been, oh no, critical of Obama and The White House. CNBC's Rick Santelli has also been critical and the Team Obama is already getting silenced by CNBC.

I cant believe that we are actually living in a world where politicans are stepping up attacks on their critics... what is the point of the media, the free press, the internet, if not to be the voice of the opposition? 

Is Team Obama so sensitive and protective of their image that it warrents stooping to these levels?

Scary stuff kids...

WSJ: Obama's Rhetoric Is the Real 'Catastrophe'

President Barack Obama has turned fearmongering into an art form. He has repeatedly raised the specter of another Great Depression. First, he did so to win votes in the November election. He has done so again recently to sway congressional votes for his stimulus package.

In his remarks, every gloomy statistic on the economy becomes a harbinger of doom. As he tells it, today's economy is the worst since the Great Depression. Without his Recovery and Reinvestment Act, he says, the economy will fall back into that abyss and may never recover.

This fearmongering may be good politics, but it is bad history and bad economics. It is bad history because our current economic woes don't come close to those of the 1930s. At worst, a comparison to the 1981-82 recession might be appropriate. Consider the job losses that Mr. Obama always cites. In the last year, the U.S. economy shed 3.4 million jobs. That's a grim statistic for sure, but represents just 2.2% of the labor force. From November 1981 to October 1982, 2.4 million jobs were lost -- fewer in number than today, but the labor force was smaller. So 1981-82 job losses totaled 2.2% of the labor force, the same as now.

Is that W. or is that Obama? 

Weren't we all up in arms when W. was scaring us into attacking Iraq? How is what Obama is doing any different? Except Porkulous is going to cost way more than Iraq. Is this pay back for Iraq? Does Nancy Pelosi need to show that her wang is larger than Bush's ?

-----------------------------------

Obama painted a bleak picture if lawmakers do nothing.

"This recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits. Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse," Obama wrote in the newspaper piece titled, "The Action Americans Need."

He rejected the argument that more tax cuts are needed in the plan and that piecemeal measures would be sufficient, arguing that Americans made their intentions clear in the election.

"I reject these theories, and so did the American people when they went to the polls in November and voted resoundingly for change," he wrote.

-----------------------------------

So Barack is rejecting the arguments of democratically elected Senators because he won he election??

Really?! That is the non-partisan change we elected? 

The American people didn't reject the legislative process... we rejected W. That doesn't give you the right reject other ideas that were also elected.
