Obama Unveils $120 Billion Stimulus Plan

I have about ten trillion questions for Mr. Obama on how this is going to work for the middle class that supports this country, instead of all the losers he wants to "pump up". How about an across the board roll back on taxes for workers that earn less than $150,000 per year? This is the group hit with the most taxes for all the socialist programs that the Dems have installed. The Obama plan shows that he is as "clueless" as Hildebeast. What a total mess!

You said it.The same old tax and spend. The middle class keeps this country going and he wants to help the ones that are draining it dry.

Mmmmm, so much to say but so little time to say it.

Yep, have people pay on social security on 102 thousand, no payments for those making from 102 - 250 thousand, and than tax those making over 250 thousand. Now show me the breakdown on figures for these brackets. Guess the middle bracket has the most while the upper bracket has the least.

Oil - windfall tax was tried once before and failed and the oil companies cut back on production and the prices rose. Meanwhile, the oil companies are only making an 8% profit after they pay approximately 46 billion dollars in federal and state taxes. Now he wants to cap what a business can make and is considered excess. How about the other industries making more than 8% are they going to be next to face a windfall tax?? Am thinking of Mircosoft, utilities, retail and small business.

Income Tax - yep, pander to the seniors - of which I am one - who earn less than 50 thousand and won't have to pay taxes. Now, who is going to make up the loss in federal taxes and what will be considered income?? Would investments be included in the income along with Social Security payments and pensions??

College tuition - yep, again, pandering to the youth. This was tried once before with the national service ideal and failed. How many students - doctors, lawyers, CPA's - are going to sign up for this program for four years to save 16 thousand dollars??

Guess Mr Obama does not remember his history to well when it comes to the trails after World War II. The Nuremberg trails were military tribunals along with all the subsequent trails that followed. The defendants were afforded the same rights to counsel as are the terrorist being held now. Oh, and don't forget, during the Civil War, Habeas Corpus was suspended and nothing was said than. Let's not forget, Roosevelt interned the Japanese population during World War II without any reason, and they lost their homes and businesses.

And in closing, the real reason we are in the state of rising fuel costs is due to the Democrats being in bed with the radical environmentalist and their agenda. There has not been a new nuclear plant built nor a new refinery built in over 20 years due to regulations. Pres. Clinton vetoed drilling in ANWR and now the Democrats are falling for global warming and restricting coal plants being built and now focus on solar, wind and biofuels. Solar and wind will only contribute approximately 5% of our energy needs and as far as biofuels are concerned, it costs more to produce, less fuel efficient, contributes more to the carbon in the air, and has resulted in the increase of food prices.

The Democrats need to get their head out of the sand and listen to the people outside the beltway.

Like him or not you would have to admit that Obama is phenomenal.

OBAMA 08!

Whatever the flavor is for the day....he says what you want to hear and you all fall for the Ivy League Elite BS

Obama has called for an aggressive course from Washington to stimulate the economy and offered few details about his plans...

Sounds like a typical politician to me.

How is Obama's ignorance and arrogance going to help? Fix the high gas price problem and the economy starts to move again.

Foreclosures are isolated problems to idiots buying too much they couldn't afford and speculators. The housing prices NEED TO COME DOWN anyway and this is doing it.

Congress has acted. Thats why we are in this mess. Democrats are idiots.

The great thing about this Obama win and the democrat majority in the Senate and House is that when everything goes to the dumpster they'll have nobody around to blame. It will be fun to sit back and watch how it unfolds. I know MSNBC, CBS and ABC will conceal any reality that will make them look bad but FOX will report it.

Has Obama even decided what dog to get? Or is that the position Hillary was interviewing for?

If I was still in the Armed Forces (thank God I'm not anymore) and Obama walked past, I wouldn't raise my right arm one inch to salute him. If I were to be discharged for it, so be it. Better to leave with my honor and integrity intact than to live a lifetime of shame. I'm glad to be a civilian now. If he now walks past, I can wave at him with my middle finger. Isn't freedom of speech great?

If I were in your squad, and you didn’t salute this great commander-in-chief I would personally kick the craaap out of you before the haul you off to the brig.
Furthermore, your pathetic opinion doesn’t matter because we wanted Obama and we got him. We gave Obama a mandate with the landslide so you can stick your middle finger in your eye. LOL
It hurts, doesn’t it?

No. And if he passes again I'll flip him off one more time.

Have you been hiding under a rock for the last 8 years where Bush and the GOP (who controlled congress for 6 of those 8 years) have run this country into the ground?

It took a worldwide financial meltdown (that began in the US due to a lack of oversight in the financial sector) to wake people up to the fact that Bush and Co have no idea of how to run a county. If not for Bush's incompetence Obama would have never been elected but people were/are looking for a dramatic change in direction and we got it.

Whether Obama can deliver on half of what was promised remains to be seen, but if he manages to get us out of this crisis by increasing domestic spending on infrastructure while decreasing the spending in Iraq ($10 Billion a month can go a long way) then he will be well on his way to a successful term.

All of you posters who just want to prove who is the biggest redneck need to get your heads out of your ass and realize that the GOP has done NOTHING for you in the last 8 years unless you are in the top 2% tax bracket. And if you are in that range what has happened to your portfolio over the last 6 months? Can't blame Obama for that (although some will certainly try)

Keep the emotion out of it and do a little critical thinking on your own once in while.

Well, Well. Let's see the headlines: Obama trying to create 2.5 millions jobs, Bush is out there trying to get more of our jobs outsourced through free slave (trade) agreements.

He's going to need a LOT more than that..

Between the new F-1 visa rule and the H-1B and L-1x visas, they will collectivily deprive US citizens of another million domestic jobs by Jan 2011.

If I count the other couple of dozen Visa programs.. Get used to an ever shinking US job market, as the spiral into the abyss continues.

TIM: HEY BUD, YOUR COMMENTS WERE EDITED OUT:
"Between the new ****-1 visa rule". Please let people know about this. Thanks

Well, how do you measure jobs that are lost? Just ask anyone in Detroit. See what kind of response you get.
