And who effing cares about the puppy? Obama doesn't tell the media which stories to run. You may not agree with him on everything, I don't, but give him more than a few months to solve all the problems he inherited.
IMO most people didn't vote for him because of his skin color, they voted for him because they thought he was the best choice, and a few months is not enough time to see how his decisions pan out. In business it's common to say "you've got to spend money to make money." Do you think our financial system would have righted itself in a short time without some sort of government intervention? I don't. And if Obama hadn't done anything at all the same shrill whiners would be bitching and moaning about his lack of effort to fix the economy. Since we seem to have so many economist Nobel winners in here, about about you throw out some legitimate suggestions?

I have a suggestion!
1)How about we let the economy fix itself ( OMG!?!?!) rather then spending money? (also btw, for those complaining about Bush's spending, Obama has already surpassed that.... Bush was in term for 8 years. Obama has been in term for...?)
2)IMO spending money for people to have free condoms, coupons to buy tvs, food stamps to buy beer, and giving out free cell phones w/ free minutes isn't going to boost the ****ing economy either. ALL thoese items are PRIVILEGES!
Those are items that I have to work for, why is it fair for others not to work for these same items????
3)I say we reinstate the draft. Make people actually show faith in their country again. Free food, free education and all you have to do is serve your country. This same country that has given you an opportunity to live your dreams.
"Ask not what this country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."
4)Release all the stoners from jail, actually enforce the death penalty for murderes, rapist, child molesters. Start making examples of people for the serious crimes they commit rather than holding them in a jail; giving them 3 square meals a day while they sit back on their cot watching tv. I believe in "Eye for an Eye."
5)
Get rid of all the labor unions!
6)It is a BS excuse for anyone to say they can't find a job right now. It may not be a job that you desire, but too bad. GROW UP AND BE A MAN!
I am not having a blast working two jobs right now.. but guess what. I Like driving my car, I like living in my own house. I like having my own personal possesions that I have bust my *** off to have. I am not going to b*tch out and ask for government assistance to TAKE what isn't mine.
The government can not help people who CHOOSE not to help themselves.
