Why would we? His foreign policy was sensible, though.<BR/><BR/>The same can't be said for Obama. There's not a policy to be found he won't be on the wrong side of.OBloodyHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992539380115488567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-40608784622856305322008-11-13T15:20:00.000-05:002008-11-13T15:20:00.000-05:00> and we've got the largest national debt ...> and we've got the largest national debt ever, <BR/><BR/>OK, folks, let's point out one thing -- The "official" national debt (i.e., not including all that entitlement crap which is not officially on the books) is not high when it is compared to the GNP, which, in the end, is the measure that matters. Even Obama is going to have a hard time tanking that GNP too fast. Expect it to go down but not by 75% or more in the next 3 years.<BR/><BR/>The entitlement crap, well, that's a different matter, and can be dealt with easily if we do it now -- the most likely way would be to start jacking up the age of "retirement" for SS (and, if needed, other government pensions somewhat) by a year every two or three years, until it makes it to some advanced age (say, 90) and then grandfather everyone on it, and everyone else is part of a better, properly backed scheme. Anyone who can never be a part of it gets automatically put on the alternate non-Ponzi scheme.<BR/><BR/>Of course, with Obama in office, there's nothing that is going to be done to resolve this problem ahead of time, because, just like Fannie Mae, "there's nothing wrong with Social Security". Reemember that in four years as a clear priority, and actually, START HARPING ON IT NOW. It'll catch the Dems with their pants down, because it's one of their faaaaavorite programs, and they are going to ALL resist like hell the actual doing of ANYTHING.OBloodyHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992539380115488567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-73890772454429753162008-11-11T16:52:00.000-05:002008-11-11T16:52:00.000-05:00You folks in America loved Blair whilst he destroy...You folks in America loved Blair whilst he destroyed our country, well the boots on the other foot now, welcome to socialism.

Both they and he will benefit: he'll work with print & broadcast and use their dependable bias to cover and kill stories, all while implementing stricter rules for bloggers. Essentially, a government intervention to stop the electronic spread of freedom of speech and the open exchange of ideas. <BR/><BR/>I believe Obama wants to be protected by the media in the same vein as JFK or FDR. He will censor and distrupt the speed of the Internet, which currently is his worst enemy. No stopping facts, links, proof and inconvenient truths for the greasy Obama ascension.<BR/><BR/>Also, good post.
