Please pass the Kool-Aid

It's hard to believe we have this much delusion, well, not really. This is Winchentucky, after all...



Here's my thoughts on the speech:

Yup, Kool-Aid

The only way to help out with our economy is to spend and borrow.



If you don't spend, you're a slacker! And by the way, buy cigarettes and tobacco products!!! It's for the children, for their "Government funded" health care. For God's sake you don't have to smoke, chew, snort or even look at them but the children are depending on ALL of us to give them the care they need. One might even be labeled a child killer for slacking off of buying tobacco.

Don't leave it up to only 20 or so % of the population that use tobacco. My suspicion is that they are going to go black market or quite.

So, polish off the credit cards and get to the bank to borrow. We are going to get this economy back on its feet.

I thought the speech sucked.. I didn't watch it in order to be chastized about my parenting. It seemed like a useless, cliche filled speech pointed right at his base.

But he's going to make sure there's accountability on Wall Street... Get that? The government is going to regulate the free market. You know what that's called? It's not freedom.

And wasn't it priceless when he said that CEOs would no longer be allowed to use tax payer money to buy fancy drapes?? I'm sure for everyone who isn't drinking the Kool Aid that Devolve Patrick and his $25k overhaul of his office came to mind..

And I agree with Jay Severin-Michelle Obama looks like a camel, and short sleeves in February was stupid!!!!!!

I discovered a well-known coincidence:

I listened to much of it but what I heard was, HUGE Government coming through and the nation will need to get in Lockstep. Full of promises of a stronger healthier America. A pep rally but watch this CBS news clip and you can see what happens to the promises!

So while one face is telling us how strong we are and that we are Americans, we will hold and be true and work together in the manner that made our country strong, free and fruitful... the other face is selling us out to a communist dictator!

OBAMA SELLS U.S. TO CHINA INC.

The truth is starting to seep out. Because of the need for more money to finance the latest bailout—the Obama economic stimulus plan—America is going further in debt to the Chinese Communists. Our country is officially being sold to the highest bidder. And we have striking confirmation of this fact from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The good news is that a correspondent for the mainstream media—Wyatt Andrews of CBS News—has figured this out and has managed to get on the air with his terrifying findings. Andrews’ report on the Friday CBS Evening News with Katie Couric was direct and to the point. Clinton is in China to beg for a handout.

“The truth is the Administration needs China’s help. America’s stimulus is very expensive and the U.S. wants China to help finance it,” Andrews reported. This is what America has become—a country that sends its Secretary of State abroad to beg for money from foreigners. In this case, it’s a communist dictatorship that forces women to have abortions, tortures Christians, and threatens the freedom and democratic government of Taiwan.

So the cost of the “stimulus” is more sacrifice of American independence and sovereignty, as well as our own values, ideals, and commitment to human freedom. It is a sad day both for America and China.

Clinton was shown saying, “We are relying on the Chinese government to continue to buy our debt.” The almighty dollar takes precedence over everything else, even as it falls in value and the dangers of hyperinflation and national bankruptcy loom. The tragedy is compounded by the fact that pandering to the Chinese will not solve anything. This policy, set in motion by big banks and corporations and pursued by Democratic and Republican Administrations, is what got us into this predicament in the first place.

Clinton’s comments, which concern the overall economic policy of the new administration, are far more significant than the Obama mortgage plan. Clinton is getting to the heart of the issue—how the mortgage plan and the stimulus are being financed.
