Mr. President, please. There is a different way. PLEASE do this... Updated at 8:57 PM
Edited on Fri Feb-06-09 08:55 PM by debbierlus
First, Obama gets out on television and invites every major news major league person to come PERSONALLY. Plus, top ranking economists lined in the background from every major academia in the nation
Then, he takes Paul Krugman's advice and he announces to the nation (& the big news honchos), THE REPUBLICANS ARE PLACING THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY AT RISK...He should then say, I made a committment to bipartisanship with this election. But, I made a bigger committment to the people. The Republicans have shown they do not have a willingness to BE bipartisan, and the country can not afford to waste valuable time catering to a party that continues to put political games above solving the nation's problems. The American people are fed up and so am I.
Right now, we stand on the edge of an economic cliff. If we do not stand up and help the American people now, the entire American citizenry faces a economic catastophe rivaling, if not worse, then the Great Depression. The top economists agree on this - helping the people is the solution. We need to finance the people. We need to nationalize the banks and control their actions until they can be fincially solvent through private, not public finance. The people should be getting paid for their investment, not held hostage by banks with loan shark lending practices with fees and unethical interest rates.
It is time to put the citizens of this nation above the corporate welfare. We have an entire people financing the wealth of a very few and the American people have been so abused by this system, they finally can't keep pace with its greed. Americans have long been working harder and longer hours just to keep pace, and instead of treating the people with just a crumb of decency, they took and took more. And, now they have broken the engine that keeps them operating. They have broken the people.
This can not go on. As President, I can not allow it to go on. So, here is my new emergency economic plan. It keeps all the spending portion of the bill. It cuts all but tax cuts directly to the middle & lower class citizens. It repeals all the Bush tax cuts because the nation needs funding and those who are privileged have a duty to help their nation during severe crisis.
The center piece of my plan will be investment in the American people.
My plan caps all credit card interest rate at 0% for the next year. Thereafter, the credit lenders will be able to charge no more then 10% interest. Banks will stop all foreclosure processes. All the banks will be required to renegotiate their mortgage loan, offering everyone with mortgages (not just those on the verge of foreclosure) a drop in interest rates on their loans. The maximum mortgage rate will be 5%. For everyone.
Secondly, I have increased the amount of spending on infrastructure problems. The nation is backlogged with infrastructure projects that could go immediately forward, if financed. Spreading money to these projects will immediately create jobs and get spending back into the economy.
Another key component will be the introduction of my health plan, a plan that will be based on a universal and single payer health CARE plan. The nation's main physicians & nurses unions all support a single payer universal health system. These top economists believe that fixing the nation's economy requires fixing the nation's health care. Next week, we will have the top economists, physicians, and health care experts in the nation presenting a live conference on the web and television about the need for a universal health care system.
Thank you
(Actual speech would also include green energy with a bill signed before 2010, the grid, & other key components of current bill.

The above is why lefties should never be left unattended near things like economic policy or kitchen utensils.

1. did you send this to change.gov?
or does the President read DU?
Obama wouldn't go near DU on a bet, he just thanks you for the votes and hopes you don't manage to find a way out of the asylum.

2. And he would close with something like...
And this is only the beginning. We made a promise to the American people that we were not going to "win the game" in Washington politics- we promised that we were going to "change the game" and it starts right now. Enough of this partisan stupidity- we have no time for this now. Step up to the plate - you were elected by the people for the people so now it's time for each of you to Put America First.
Enough of this silly two party system. Do as we tell you peasant.

10. He isn't winning. They conceded 40% of the stimulus bill to a party everyone hates Updated at 8:57 PM
There is no 'winning' by bipartisanship. It won't work because the Republicans are not vested in governing. And, we are heading off a cliff....
If not now, when?
When ? Why as soon as that horrible dissent thing is squashed.
-
How is blaming his failures on the GOP bipartisan? 0% interest on credit cards for a year is a grand idea if you want to watch lending and borrowing vanish overnight.
-
Obama wouldn't go near DU on a bet,
I'm not so sure. Some of the things that he's been doing lately read like a DU/Kos wishlist.
-
Truly, the name over their political party's door should be at least "Democrat Socialist Party," if not "National Socialist Party."
"All-Around Lunkheads" would work just as well.
Or "All-Around Misanthropic Hate-filled Lunkheads."

Someone needs to remind the primitives on how United States government works. ObaMarx cannot cannot do anything more than flap his gums about what he wants. Congress decides what he gets, assuming the SC finds it Constitutional.

They don't care; they don't have the cognition to understand that they know nothing; and if they did have the cognition, they lack the ability to understand what someone might try to explain about the workings of government.

Last time I looked, the Dims had enough of a majority to pass this POS bill, they don't need the Republicans.
If Zero is such a "great leader", let him take charge and take credit for this POS. He only wants Republican names on this thing to have someone to point blame at.
Zero ain't no hero! :loser:
-

If I was a betting man...I'd lay a $20 down that at some point in the next four years...there will be a call for an impeachment against a Republican SC Judge.
Maybe some "new evidence" in the Anita Hill case...or something allegedly illegal in the adoption of the Roberts children.
In other words...the Dems will do their best to take our any opposition in the SCOTUS.

Bunch of fools. They would gladly let people go to the camps so long as they or their familes are not threatened. or they would do it themselves

You know what's funny is team obaonga is not that far from DUmmy strategy.

There's a London bookmaker that would take that bet for you, Tx. I'm certain of it.

The ignorance is breathtaking.

All the banks will be required to renegotiate their mortgage loan, offering everyone with mortgages (not just those on the verge of foreclosure) a drop in interest rates on their loans. The maximum mortgage rate will be 5%. For everyone.
A great example of a DUmmy having no idea the workings of that which they wish to control.
I guess they think that the money extended on credit falls from the sky because doing this would bankrupt the credit card companies.
The costs of processing,issuing statements....does not happen by ghosts DUmmies.
There are real people doing this work and to pay them their wage the card company must make money over and above what it lends.
The mortgage issue is sillier yet because without credit being based on economic conditions at the moment and the credit worthiness of the applicant we would have more of the same credit issues that got us where we are now.
Without a doubt though this would have a direct benefit to the writer of the OP and that is why they want it.
Secondly, I have increased the amount of spending on infrastructure problems. The nation is backlogged with infrastructure projects that could go immediately forward, if financed. Spreading money to these projects will immediately create jobs and get spending back into the economy.
Make work jobs bills were a vestige of the new deal and finally were given up on because they simply don`t work for any long term.
They can reduce the unemployment numbers for a while and have some short term impact on local economies but the long term problem is that once the project is done then so is the job and what is left is a new public entity that must be maintained by the local tax base.
Once again though I suspect the DUmmy envisions a union scale job that lasts forever so it makes the wish list.
Another key component will be the introduction of my health plan, a plan that will be based on a universal and single payer health CARE plan. The nation's main physicians & nurses unions all support a single payer universal health system. These top economists believe that fixing the nation's economy requires fixing the nation's health care.
In other words there is no real connection between a national growing economy but a desire to solidify a political power base.
So, here is my new emergency economic plan. It keeps all the spending portion of the bill. It cuts all but tax cuts directly to the middle & lower class citizens. It repeals all the Bush tax cuts because the nation needs funding and those who are privileged have a duty to help their nation during severe crisis.
It never ceases to amaze me that these fools believe you can take a punitive action against companies and business people and the only result will be what they wish for...confiscation of their assets to be passed on to them.
In the real world several things actually happen.
If a company no longer can operate profitably and that means with a capital reserve for expansion or upkeep of production facilities it will either cease operation,reduce expenses with employees being in that picture and finally pass the cost of the tax along with the product if the market will allow.
This leads to higher unemployment and inflation with a decrease in revenue to the treasury as the unemployed are no longer sending in money via payroll tax deductions.
Stagflation was what it was called in the 70s when all these policies were in affect.
If course the DUmmy is ignorant of that and just wants to feel like they got even with someone who unfairly has more then they do.
You see DUmmies,conservatives don`t want an economic plan that is geared to benefit themselves directly because such a thing can never be sustainable.
The fact that you even imagine one can be made that will take away all the problems you see yourself is idiotic at best and shamelessly greedy at worst.
Even if such a thing were tried it would still do you fools no real good as you are the very bottom of the barrel now and nothing will raise you from that.

Dear Obama, bring me a dream
You're just the cutest President I've seen
Give me tax credits, seed The Mall with clover
Then tell the Neocons their rights are over.
Barack, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your rainbow beam
Dear Obama, bring me a dream.
Dear Obama, please make me cream
Please jail Rush and the Rethuglikkan team
I'd like a pony, and a dog named Rover
And spread our nation's wealth the whole world over.
Barack, pick up the phone
That mean Ann Coulter is making me moan
Replace her with Alan Colmes.
And Obama, Pay for my home.
Dear Obama, Im really sick
Free Single Payer, would do the trick
And while your at it please legalize weed
Tax everyone else so I get mine free.
Barack, I'm really stoned
I post on DU because I'm alone.
Gimme computer porn to masturbate
Dear Obama, that would be great.

If Obama and the MAJORITY dems truly cared about the people and truly believed their bill was the best and only solution, they'd ram the bill through and not care one whit about bipartisanship. Evidently Obama is more concerned with pleasing the power elite in congress than helping the American people. Besides, with his massive ego taking full credit for something (and drinking in the drooling adoration that follows) shouldn't be a problem.
Cindie
(Oh, and all this lurching left he's doing is causing his approval rating to plummet because folks are realizing all that "hope and change" centrist platform nonsense were just pretty words to get him elected. As a general rule, Americans prefer substance to bullshit.)

If that were to actually happen...then the only Constitution we'd have left is the pocket version that most of us carry.

Major league news people? You mean like Rush, whose 20 million radio audience gives him a bigger draw than any of the alphabet propagandists, and more than Commie crying towel News Network and DNCNBC combined? Or Glenn Beck, with a larger distribution on his daily newsletter e-mail than the New York Slimes?
Plus, top ranking economists lined in the background from every major academia in the nation
You mean the same economists who couldn't pick up on the fact we were in a recession - in spite of the fact that EVERYBODY ELSE seemed to have gotten the memo - for over a year after the fact? Or are we talking about the same economics "experts" being quoted on the news feeds; the ones who are always surprised when the economic figures are greater/less than what was "expected"?
-
Have you ever seen that section in Weekly Standard "Sentences we didn't finish?"
--> "Then, he takes Paul Krugman's advice...."
Anyway, H5 to the Mr. Sandman take-off!

Again, why do the lefties care if they get Republican support? They have cut enough out of the Senate bill that there probably won't be a filibuster against it. So even if few Republicans vote for it, it will pass. Let the Dems take full credit for it. If it works, and they pull us back from the brink, great for them, I might even start voting Dem in the future. If it goes all wrong, oh well, expect to get beaten to death with it.
-
The lefties want Repub support, so that when this "stimulus" fails, as I assure you you it will, they can point fingers at the Republicans and won't have to take sole responsibility for it with the American public.
