The President’s Weekly Radio Address

Posted on February 7, 2009 by billmanzi

The President talks about the stimulus package, and the jobless figures that arrived yesterday. He praises the bipartisan group of centrists that appear to have reached consensus on a stimulus package, and highlights some of the massive problems in states that have Republican senators standing tall against returning people to work. Florida and Ohio were both highlighted. The President will have a news conference on Monday.

    Mr. Obama has put himself on a long, tough road. Committed to bi-partisanship with a Republican party determined to oppose him. He presents the velvet glove, but his words contain steel. If he succeeds, he jolts the Republican party out of its knee-jerk moronic impulses and tries to move their ideology forward. If he half succeeds, he gets America on board and isolates the Republican core, making it small enough to drown in a bathtub (to borrow a phrase). If he fails, I move to Canada, concluding we are just too dumb to save. I do not know how much more drivel I can bear to hear.

    I’ve never rooted for a President more than I root for this one. Godspeed, sir.

    Fred,

    ” He presents the velvet glove, but his words contain steel.” Wow. Do you have a tingle running up your leg too.

    The president bi-partisanship amounts to “do it my way or the highway”. Well as I watch the senate I don’t see any fear or panic.

    I believe one of the reason is that the public is getting disillusioned the more they see what is in this DEMOCRATIC designed pig. Republicans were kept out of its creation. How is that bi-partisanship, Fred?

    He can shout and scream all he wants. This thing needs a circumsicion. Keep up the good work fellow conservatives.

    I was practicing my rhetoric: thinking of trying out for a NY Times job. What do you think?

    However, I agree with Jules: keep up the good work, conservatives. You only hasten your own demise.

    You may be right. But, when we go who will stop the big spenders? No one. Hello Sweden.

    Problem is, both parties are big spenders. The only difference is what they spend it on. I’d rather spend it on building things than blowing them up.

    Oh, and I forgot. Your point is one of the reasons that I want the Republicans to return to reasoned sanity instead of what appears to be a lunatic fringe, and the Democrats to follow.

    Maybe this is the “creative destruction” we’re all looking for.
