Pres. Obama can now celebrate a 'major milestone'.

The stimulus package has been passed by both the House and and Senate.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090214/...gress_stimulus
Bush Tax Cuts == Job Killer
June 2001: 132,047,000 employed
June 2003: 129,839,000 employed
2.21 million jobs were LOST after 2 years of Bush Tax Cuts.

...using back door dealing, a lack of bipartisanship, not letting members of Congress read the law, and to the consternation of economists and rational thinking people everywhere.

Yay Barry!

If that's a great week for America, I'm going to the Doctor to get a prescription for some strong anti-depressants. It's going to be a long 2 years.

I want some of your kool-aid. Maybe it'll help me forget the giant cluster**** this is going to be.

Bipartsanship support? Republicans are like North Korea. America tries to work with them, but all they do is make threats about nuclear weapons when they don't get their way.

Then Obama would have actually tried. He told them he wasn't compromising because he "won" and that they should just get on board his plan regardless. As a result, he got no votes from the all of the elected representatives whose ideas he felt weren't worthy because "he won".

We need an "analogy failed" graphic like the one posted above.

Is it just me or does the almost always indicate introspect; an uncomfortable lack of belief in one's own view?

I definitely think it is, at a minimum, an indicator of one's inner mindset. I think it is open to debate whether or not it is a sign of introspection. And whether one thinks is a sign of self-doubt or hubristic pride is probably determined by the reader's response to the statements that preceded the .


psyche!
One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.
