Barack Obama is way too optimistic. [View All]

The economy is in much worse shape than he ever imagined. It is in much worse shape than Tim Geithner told him. Sure, the unemployment rate might go to 8%?? Jobs will start to pick up in the spring. It is always a lagging indicator. No need to worry.

Perhaps we should take $200 billion dollars of that leftover TARP money and pay down the debt? It will help us in the next election. That's the ticket!

The shit is about to hit the fan. My advice would be to not stand in front of it. The people are getting restless and it's not just the Republicans. Democrats and Republicans have voiced their disapproval with Timmy Geithner. The are beginning to see the scam perpetrated with the big banks and they don't like it. A Democrat, Allen Grayson, has gone in with Ron Paul and got a bill passed to audit the Fed. Audit the Fed! Are they crazy?!

It is time to get serious. Things are not going to fix themselves. We need plans on the table to create jobs and to regulate these criminals that got us into this mess. We don't have more time. We need action now.
