Can’t see the vid? Read the text of the press conference instead.
Did you watch the news conference? Yeah, he was long winded at times. But isn’t that better than short, meaningless sound bites we usually get from politicians? Ignoring how he said it, what did you think about what he said? Do you agree with him? Still glad you voted for him (or didn’t)?
Agree or disagree, like or dislike, at least we have back in the White House someone who is smarter than a fifth grader. Refreshing!
The true believers voted for “hope and change”
‘Change’ apparently means stuffing the cabinet, staff and justice department with Clinton retreads and lobbyists.
‘Hope’? Primarily, the press conference was the use of FEAR to coerce people to accept a poorly conceived plan (to spend tomorrows income) that bypassed all of the usual processes (committee hearings anyone?) to account for the budgeting and thorough analysis of said plan, which is one giant tower of special interest provisions. The congressional budget office has stated that very little of this money would have any impact on the economy for 18-24 months.

Why is it that all of our money must be funnelled through D.C. first, so that the idiots running the place can pretend they know how to control the economy? Why not give us all a tax break and let the economy be run by the people, who will spend or save their money as they see fit, with more immediate results. I believe that the collective intelligence of the people is wiser than a bunch of professional demagogues manipulating our money in order to achieve only one goal: Re-election.

Holy Crap! You didn’t call me a name!
I shall return the favor:
Mr. Fusion,
Money is just something that has a value attached.
That is very true. But if you want to make more of it, you have got to produce something to justify its creation.
Or do you believe that you can create all the money you want on a printing press and not worry about its true value?
