The Polls are pretty much telling all of us how the "hope and change" are working.--- Do we really need bumper stickers? I think my "Harley Davidson" stickers and NRA stickers are working better.

Domald, obama also said if we get the stimulus bill, unemployement would not go over 8%. Porkulus was just political payback to acorn and the like. He is clueless and just trying to figure out how to load the pockets of his front groups with more borrowed money.

Whatever happened to a Democracy being the voice of the "people" where the majority of we the people ruled? With Obama centralizing his power around his "czars", congress will soon be obsolete, just like his buddy Hugo Chavez and his other friends have done in their countries. People need to wake up.

We all have to remember that the bailouts included the auto industry unions too. They weren't mentioned in this article, but we all know that those bailouts were basically payoffs for Obama votes, just like the millions of dollars in the original bailout that were supposed to go to ACORN that almost got passed under the radar until someone actually read the bill, and exposed it. Good article Dennis, but you left a few important facts out that could shed light on another side of the story. Only 18% of Americans supported a bailout for the automakers, (who still pretty much failed, but a lot of people in the industry made millions off it.) while 60% of Americans supported a bailout of Wall Street, which is making a nice recovery. Is "our government still listening to us? I think not. The fact is, Obama loves to throw money around to the people who voted for him, even though he knows the majority of us disagree with him, and know it wont work. He is NOT a man of the people.

Do you remember Obama said it would take time to undo Bush's mistakes. Now he has come a long way to getting it done. Honor, support this fine president. WE ARE BLESSED !

Dennis, I think you are starting to see the light of reality. Hope you take another look at cap and tax bills as well as all fault health insurance. They are being supported by the same group of monopolists which is financing, with taxpayer credit cards, further destruction of free enterprize. Seems strange to me that Bamabanking mentality is financing a few super-cannot fail banks, while whats left of the free world are dismanteling them. Geithner is only the puppet.

Where was Dennis when we were sounding the alarm before his appointment...remember he was Geithner was indispensible so they had to overlook the fact he was a tax cheat. I wonder if Dennis is at all concerned about who is on the federal reserve or to his czarships...probably not until he starts worrying about Obama's poll numbers.
