Reaganist Republican:
Obama’s agenda has mortified almost every source of job-and-growth creation in the country.

This is what I meant when I said it is a Galt Strike – the Obama program is horrifying those who really create jobs.

The Dear Leader couldn’t deliver the type of “temporary, targeted, and timely” bill that he promised

Instead of creating jobs, interest rates were bumped up, the dollar slid… and it didn’t help anybody get any work. Much of this is due to the fact that Obama’s agenda has mortified almost every source of job-and-growth creation in the country. The Dear Leader couldn’t deliver the type of “temporary, targeted, and timely” bill that he promised repeatedly. Regardless of his image in the MSM, Obama simply lacks the the political stature to control Pelosi and Reid… who hit the trough hard, while bickering like children. And the lack of GOP co-conspirators exposed Obama politically… this legislation now looks to be a HUGE gamble. And when all this pork-n-welfare fails to generate any real economic gains, the Democrats face a bloodbath in 2010. http://reaganiterepublicanresistance.blogspot.com The Porkulus is a train-wreck… these jobs figures are far worse than the ones the White House warned us about if we DIDN’T pass the bill- so it was passed, and then unemployment soars anyway?
