OBAMA PUTS BIDEN IN CHARGE OF STIMULUS FUNDS
« on: February 23, 2009, 12:30:12 PM »



The gaffe-prone Joe Biden will now be handling more of your money.

President Obama said his vice president would oversee the implementation of the $787 billion economic stimulus package.

Obama made the announcement today before the National Governors Association in Washington, saying Biden will not only ensure that the cash is distributed, but make sure it is "also efficient and effective."

"The fact that I'm asking my vice president to personally lead this effort shows how important it is for our country and future to get this right," Obama said.

I wish the pReSidEnT would stop delegating shit that he said he would handle personally.  I thought this was the greatest crisis in the history of money?

No, he's leaving $13. SO, by 5 pm ACORN or whoever makes up the "breakout" groups, will have the economic problems of the nation SOLVED!  

Just like he'll half the defecit in two years. Is that the 1.5 trillion we're in the bag for? Or the TARP, Stim and original amount. The new amounts are already scored by CBO at $3.275 TRILLION over the next two years, add another 1.5 trilllion and we're up to $4.75 TRILLION .

He must actually be "Obammessiah" ! And I BELIEVE , TOO! :banghead: :censored: :bird: :thatsright:

To coincide with the news, the Market again nose dives.  Obama certainly is trying to make sure that we're hitting below 5,000 by the end of February.

yeppers.  that "Fiscal Responsibility Summit" that The PresidentStar! convened really calmed the markets, didn't it?  sooner or later, even a barking dog learns to shut up after enough negative feedback.

Kinda lets you know where The Exalted One's head is at - directly up his ass (he had to tuck his ears in to get firmly embedded).

why? to keep some kind of freakin' vigil?

Plugs is gonna **** that up, too. He can't help it. While I have every assurance that The Exalted One is a Chicago street thug and borderline criminal, to leave Plugs in charge of more money than McCain has age spots is an invitation to disaster.

On the other hand, putting Plugs in charge of this is a sure fire way to keep him quiet. Plugs has likely been told he's a figurehead, with no real power, and that Geithner will be calling the shots with Emanuel's blessings.

I don`t believe that the continued sell off is market jitters but a determination that American businesses are not the place to invest money with obamanomics ruling the day.
Profits (if any) that lead to return on investment through share price and dividends will be confiscated to pay for the socialism.

I still think this is a systematic dispersal of shares by institutions and other large holders.
I guess there is probably a way to track that thing to know if I am right.
How big the blocks of shares sold were and so on.
