What in the world is going on with Pres Obama?
Michael Goodwin is asking what happened: Stumbling out the gate: Barack Obama flubs his first big test!
Pres BO is looking a little too angry for a guy who hasn't seen a real crisis yet.
He told Republicans: I won!
It's true. He won and we got 46% of the vote!
I like Rich Lowry: "I Won" Isn't Going to Close the Deal!
Last week, he unloaded and said that we must pass his plan or things will get really bad.
Will they really?
The CBO doesn't see it that way. The CBO predicts that the current recession will end at the end of 2009, with or without spending a trillion dollars!
So why spend it without further review?
Why is Pres Obama having such problems getting support for his proposal?
Because the "Joe and Jane" don't get it. They also don't get all of those expenditures that have very little to do with creating jobs.
Pres BO's luck won't get any better. There are some serious issues on the table. You've got the second half of TARP and the real possibility that Pres Obama will have to ask Congress for more money!
It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. I trust that Pres BO shows us a more confident temperament than we've seen this week!
