He has only been president for about 45 days and he is being told his plan isn't working and we should change direction. I should mention most of that is coming from an ever decreasing conservative party. That point aside, there is an interference put to Obama, trying to force him to jump through political hoops. Now the latest bill I must admit is suspect. However I believe he will look at it before he signs it. He doesn't strike me as the kind of president who blindly trusts his admin for the big decisions. So I have faith. For now.
But really, proudly pronouncing the party of no by claiming some moral high ground, like looking out for joe the plumber? It was the GOP who brought joe into the garden of eden and tempted his ignorant ass with mortgages and loans they couldn't possibly afford. This was done by de-regulation. It was a classic P.T. Barnum.
With that said, is that really the message you want to get out? Screw the little guy for now, it's for his own good. (translation: the party's own good.)
What stimulus plan was ever instantaneous? Because it seems that is the GOP's message these days. How can he do more? Now we wait and watch and see what happens. I believe he is doing the right thing. While he waits for results there, he is over here beginning another project and keeping his people busy. I am still a bit suspicious though, it is the U.S. government after all, it's reputation is more often then not; dubious!
I think though for sanity sake, as well as the economy, we should give these plans something like six to eight months to see what we can harvest from these bills, plans, and actions that "Move swiftly, and with a sense of purpose".
I think we are well overdue for an overhaul of government, and industry. I guess the question I have is, how do I know this is the right guy? I do occasionally see some 'going off message', but the result seems to out weigh the faux pas.
I guess it's time we close our eyes, take a deep breathe, and jump! Just make sure you have a parachute and not a nap sac on your back.
