Obama: "Failure was intentional"

LDB · Jul 12, 2009

In his weekly radio address Obama admitted failure was the original intent of the stimulus package and it is failing just as expected and planned. Oh, he didn't use those exact words and typically doctored it and spun it but the bottom line is they planned a failed stimulus package and we the nation are getting just what they planned.

As i said in another thread, he is listening to the economist that turbo tim and his minions brought to him and they are telling him what he told them he needed to hear....not a chance he would listen to anyone that has a clue to where our economy really stands.........

Watch the numbers the next month or 2, when GM and Chysler are up and running...and cutting more jobs and laiding more people off, then the suppliers will do the same....yeap..its workin alright..and one can make the argument that it was planned that why...sure makes it easier to B/S the sheeple that they need to have the government save them....

Personally I'd love to see China and the Saudis quit buying our debt......then you would see the SHTF and barry and tim wouldn't know what to do...but they can't just stop buying in one big swoop....they need to do it over time, and sell their holdings in our dollar over time...and the chinese are selling dollars and the bonds and tresury notes they hold (they just had an auction for the bonds and notes, it didn't go well for them, others already see the writing on the wall) and they are slowing down buying more of our debt...just not fast enough...like stopping now.....

Why invent a quote from Obama when it's nothing more than your own opinion? I listened to his radio address, and he didn't admit to anything being a failure. If you think it's a failure, fine, say so, but you don't need do make stuff up and attribute it for validity to do it. That's even more lame than what the liberals do.

I didn't invent anything. I read what he said. He said this is exactly what we expected of the stimulus and planned to happen. Anyone paying attention knows it's failing. If they planned exactly this then they planned failure. If the results of something are X and I say I'm getting just what I planned for then obviously I planned X.

Well it really don't matter anyways because the summer break is coming up, the congress will return home and hear the b*tching from the constituents who are p*ssed off, especially those who lost their jobs thanks to it.

The congressman or senator will not have the opertuinity to explain what the package is all about because they don't know what it really is all about. It is too big, too complicated and no one really read the thing before voting on it.

The thing has been deemed a failure by the people who lost their jobs, they count, the president doesn't.

Oh and why is the president of the United States doing OP-Ed peices.... doesn't this show his favoritism to one paper over another or is it that he isn't that important to get the 'print' space in all the papers in the country?
