Few of us are economists and therefore to make an assessment of how well a certain ‘idea’ would help stimulate the economy, is often nothing more than repeating what we have heard an economist say. And as we all know, 100 economists will give you a 100 different thoughts on what will or will not work.
But this much I do know…whether the Obama recovery plan is successful or not will determine his fate in 2012. That said, I have no doubt he is consulting the best minds available and has put together a compromise plan which he believes will stimulate the economy.
For anyone to suggest that Obama has no real desire to truly fix the economy and wishes only to push ahead a liberal agenda, as many on the conservative side have argued, is nonsense. It is difficult to imagine Obama wishing to be a one term president.
As Obama has noted, he did not ask for this financial crisis. He inherited it and now he’s forced to do something about it. As to why anyone would think that he’d resort to measures which were tried for 8 years and which had much to do with the crisis at hand, is beyond me.
So disagree with specific measures but to suggest that President Obama has anything but the welfare of the nation in mind, is pure partisan lunacy. As he noted today in a town hall meeting, he will be judged solely on the results he obtains.
The recovery will not happen overnight. As to how patient the population remains as the nation ventures into unchartered territory, is yet to be determined.
No one has suggested that President Obama does not have a desire to fix the economy. And EVERYONE is aware he is out to further a Liberal Agenda.
He obviously wants to do both.
But I agree with you. To suggest that President Obama has anything but the welfare of the nation in mind is pure partisan lunacy.
We all know he’s nothing at all like that nefarious Bush, who took the country to war just to enrich his friends and avenge insult to his father! And even LIED to us all to do it.
Refreshing to see you are consistent in your reasoning.
Here’s the piece of the puzzle you’re missing, Mr. Do’ee. Having the welfare of the country at the forefront of Obama’s intentions is synonymous with promoting a liberal agenda.
First off. I would be the Do’er. You my friend are the Do’ee.
The way I view it, President Obama wants to promote a more liberal agenda. And I have no doubt he understands his administration will own an economic recovery or failure, no matter how hard they continue to try to blame it on “eight years of failed policies”. (wretch! wretch! wretch!!)
President Obama is using “Fear Tactics” to promote his Stimulus Plan which has a cornucopia of liberal incentives attached to it.
Net result…of course he wants to fix the economy in the best interest of our country. And he is using the opportunity that offers to further his liberal agenda. Which honestly, isn’t even his agenda. It’s Pelosi’s.
Is it so hard to understand that he would want to do both and would use the one to promote the other? You know. Like the war on terror and use the fear of terror to launch in illegal war in Iraq, based on lies and ulterior motive?
Of course, that’s different, isn’t it? Good luck on rationalizing that one to anyone other than a fellow Kool Aide drinker!
