Barack Obama, Stock Market Strategist

Your right. Obama knows exactly what he is doing with the stock market. He is re-distributing wealth. How can anyone use the terms Obama and honesty in the same sentence? There are many people in the stock market that are not rich and have not speculated, but are now losing everything they have saved their entire working lives. And, they didn't borrow money they knew they couldn't pay back... like failing mortgages.

What liberals are misunderstanding is that Obama is not re-distributing wealth to help them... he is re-distributing wealth to help himself gain more and more power. The more people need to obtain from the government, the more the politicians are needed. Unfortunately, spending big has become an issue with both major political parties... It's funny, the higher level politicians of both parties seem to be wealthy off our labors.

Barack Obama is implementing the classic con man tactic of say what they want to hear and do the opposite. Every speach he has given has sounded great. I totally bought his line of bull. Why should we expect anything else. He is in the same mold as Bernie Madoff. Our government has taken a page from the Wall St crooks handbook.

In his fake first state of the union speach, he said something like "sometimes we would like to redecorate and buy new curtains, but we really need to rebuild the foundation"...Remember that ? He followed that with deciding that rather than work on the foundation, he would add a second and third floor to the house with a bad foundation. He's also said that he's not in favor of growing the government. He said that the week before he proposed doubling the size of government. Do you see a pattern here?

remember the phrase 95% of Americans will get a tax break..They will not pay one dime of extra taxes... Now we know that he is proposing to raise the capital gains tax, increasing the tax on oil and gas, and a whole host of "revenue enhancements" the classic con. Once the con is done, there is nothing you can do about it, at least in the short run. That is why he is in such a hurry to get it done before we discover the con. CON MAN OF THE CENTURY.

So, Robin of CO; it will take both sides to find a solution.

Step 1, lock Republicans out of deliberation and writing of the stimulus package.

Step 2, blame Republicans for not being on board.

Step 3, say it's going to take all sides to fix the problem.

Where exactly in there do you get any input from any side except Obama & Pelosi? Anyone talking about any Govt. spending cuts, tightening the budget, perhaps spending less than 30%+ of the GDP every year for the next 4? Maybe not borrowing money we can never pay back?

Or did you (like Obama) just want "input" from others so you could ignore it? A really serious problem that had a solution written Thursday night and voted on Friday morning, 1000+ pages of legalese that nobody could read or understand before voting? These are the serious, sober, responsible, "very smart people" you want me to trust?

I'm not sure "very smart people" are trying to figure it out. Your "very smart people" are telling us that every dollar spent by the Government on anything results in a 1.5 multiplier... which means all communist countries see a 50% economic growth every year; right? That's just one clear logical flaw of many from these "smart people".

Maybe they aren't very smart at all.
