There's that common claim that is very rarely backed up. That W is dishonest. He may not be the brightest bulb of the bunch, but I haven't seen evidence of dishonesty. No, I wouldn't want Palin. Too green (not as green as Obama though), and way too religious. Forget all that. I want someone who is experienced, who is a fiscal conservative, who is pro-science, has a strong foreign policy, has a diverse energy policy and is not a bible thumper. Someone who is not likely to require me to pay someone elses mortgage. Someone who does not spend us into oblivion and threaten the stability of the dollar. No, this does not describe a republican (unfortunately), but they are the closest to what I'm looking for.
This whole spending your way out of debt thing is insane. NO ONE would try this themselves. If you had all your credit cards maxed out, can you seriously tell me that you would spend more to solve your problem? Of course not. Yes Obama inherited a recession. My problem with him is that what he's doing will turn it into a depression, and worse, might even cause the dollar to collapse.
Obama and the democrats are on a mission to change what this country is. They have twice already threatened to retroactively punish people for laws they are just now pulling out of their ass, which is a violation of the constitution, and they are also violating the 10th amendment by making demands on state legislatures. They also want to move control of the census to the Whitehouse under the control of their campain strategist, and enlist ACORN (already being charged for voter fraud) to work with the census. Why would they do this? Because this is one step below a hostile government take over. The hostile take over may come later with the voluntary mantetory corps that Obama wants to start. See story
here. This is VERY scary stuff.
I'm already having trouble recognizing this government anymore. Who are being financially punished? Corporations who are driving this economy. Who is on their terror watch list? US veterans, our country's finest, coming back from putting their lives on the line for this country. Who does Obama extend a hand to, or kiss the hand of? Saudi Royalty, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez. And of course Bill Ayers & Reverend Wright.

True, he inherited the financial problems. He inherited it from Carter, who started the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), and from Clinton who strengthened it at the strong urging of ACORN - the group who comes from the same Chicago cesspool that Obama, Bill Ayers & Rev. Wright came from. ACORN used the CRA to force banks to]make loans to people who could not afford them. Clinton
required banks to do this. And yes, Alan Greenspan is also to blame for artificially inflating the housing bubble. Democrats have been telling us all along how secure Freddie Mac and Fannie May are while Republicans have been warning us of the problems (and calling for regulations). Don't believe me? See this:

There's a word for that: Dishonest.

The house and senate are firmly democrat. Perhaps the GOP refuse to accept the blame because it was Carter & Clinton who created the problem. Perhaps the GOP favors the trickle down strategy because it worked under Reagan, after Carter nearly financially ruined the country using policies that were less ambitious than what Obama wants to do.
