I consider myself liberal but i dont think anyone that actually looked at that stimulus could come away without questioning some of the pork. I have said time and again the biggest roadblocks to Obama's success would come from within his own party.
I applaud the president's iniatives. Might they fail? Sure. Do I agree with the lack of fiscal responsibility? Sure. But is the overall vision a step toward a better future?
Regardless of who was to blame, and I have no interest in debating that for the 1,000,000th time, there is no question that Obama walked into a heaping pile of smoldering crap on multiple fronts. Whether his plans work or not remains to be seen.
We are in a crisis situation. The markets are/were teetering on the precipice. Now is not the time to let markets take care of themselves.
