Gnome, the irony is palpable.

You're so full of it TDog. You can't recognize bias from a legitimate question.

How did you get so myopic? Hatred of Bush? Is that all it took?

Quote from Mvic:

1. Jobs are the stop loss that is needed.
2.The stimulus will create few and very expensive jobs but Obama will not be blamed because when no jobs are created he can just claim that 4M were saved from losing their jobs. Again, the stimulus will be hailed as a success even if NOT ONE NEW job is created because they will claim that jobs were saved because of the stimulus!
3.Without the jobs the bank bailout is irrelevant and just another waste of trillions to be added to the taxpayers tab.
4.There is no real will in DC to stop this crisis. The bigger the crisis the more power Obama (or Pelosi as she seems to be running things more than anyone else at the moment) has to enact change, his Chief of staff already told us this in plain English.
5. The solutions they really want to impose, along with a real stimulus, will come later this year or early next, and they will be timed so the effects will start to show as we head in to the 2012 election. There is a downside to being too effective too soon for this administration.

I see the people who are blindly touting Obama no differently than those people who were blindly supporting and defending Bush despite all the evidence that he was incompetent (not to say that Obama is incompetent nor Geithner as I don't believe they are, but to many it is as if they can do no wrong just like the Bushies felt about their fearless leader as though this is some popularity contest in highschool, by the way this is in no way helpful to Obama who unlike Bush I think will listen to differing opinions and doesn't need sicophants). I am amazed at how many otherwise intelligent people who rightly held Bush to a high standard of intellectual integrity have lost all of their critical thinking when it comes to Obama and have morphed in to the same blind followers immune to all reason and logic that they used to so deride when it came to Bush supporters. Do you really want to be a liberal version of a ditto head?

Part of the strategy will likely include making sure that the GOP can be blamed for not giving Obama free reign and allowing the crisis to deepen, allowing the Dems to pick up the extra votes in the senate needed for the big changes they want to make in the second half of Obama's 1st term. If I am right these guys are playing a very dangerous high stakes game. Obama is no fool, hopefully he will not let himself get played by the powerful interests pulling the congressional strings. Hopefully he will not play the go along to get along game that he has played all his life. He is the man now, this is his time. Can he seize and keep a firm grasp on the reins? He apppears to be be trying but he is swimming with some big sharks in their home waters.

I hate to sound simplistic, or conspiratorial, but let us all recognize the simple truth that follows:

The Republicans and Democrats differ only on a few social matters, due to the religious composition of the country (be region).

As to economics, the U.S. has been forced into the Rockerfellian quest for one globe united, and there is no difference between the two major parties in the U.S., in reality, as they are owned by and rely upon the same masters to keep their jobs.

NOW you're talking some sense. I'm rich, accomplished in the markets, and smart. Who could better serve as a model to you?

First lesson... "Think with your head rather than simply emote like most folks."

I for one think its too early to judge Geithner, going to give him the benefit of the doubt for now. He can't be that bad of a guy, he's from Brooklyn! The commentator on Fox this morning said something funny though. Reflecting on TG's first speech and the markets reaction he said, "I don't think anyone takes Geithner seriously, probably because he looks like an assistant JV basketball coach!"

No, no.

You're looking at Mr. Sentiment, but wait until he meets up with Mr. Capitulation on the corner of Vomit and Diarrhea.

It's still a little while off.
