$1,000,000,000,000.00

That’s a big number (it’s a thousand billion!). Thanks, Mr. Obama, we’re in the poor house now but that’s all part of your plan to make us even more dependent on the government, I know.

Yeah, it is like Obama hit the accelerator when he should have hit the brakes with spending. Well, we knew this but apparently the Obama Administration didn’t see it coming:

The Economy Is Even Worse Than You Think (online.wsj.com)

- The average length of official unemployment increased to 24.5 weeks, the longest since government began tracking this data in 1948. The number of long-term unemployed (i.e., for 27 weeks or more) has now jumped to 4.4 million, an all-time high.

…It may have made him unpopular in parts of the Obama administration, but Vice President Joe Biden was right when he said a week ago that the administration misread how bad the economy was and how effective the stimulus would be.

It’s like I said, Obama knew the state of things when he was running for the job of President and when he walked into office. There’s no blaming he can do. That’s pretty wimpy. Man up, dude. We’re not idiots out here even if the media repeats the same thing 500 times – well, I can speak for 58 million of us, at least – not the rest, although some in the middle seem to be seeing the light and regret who they voted for. Oops.

He’s really messing things up but doesn’t know it – he inexperienced, remember. Don’t look at all this “reaching out” as being “change” that’s good for American. No, no, no. I really hope we don’t get attacked again, but if we do, it’ll totally be Obama’s fault. He’ll own it. With Bush, an attack like that hadn’t happened before but was there another on his watch? No. Now Obama’s doing a 180 on a lot of things, so we’ll see how they stand up. This is just a precursor to opening a door wide enough for something bad to happen.

I just want future generations to know that there were many of us (probably 50%) that are against this. Even one of the Miss USA gals last night voiced her opinion against all this spending and there was a loud cheer. Another stood up for marriage defined as between a man and a woman (to Perez Hilton even). Way to go!

Shopping Increases

And I went out and did some shopping for a few things this weekend. Boy, was I surprised. Stores were filled with people! The Home Depot and Ashley Furniture were filled with people. I even went through some used car lots to window shop for cars (which I do from time to time) and there were plenty of people doing the Sunday car window shopping (when they’re all closed – no pesky salespeople). It looked no different than a year ago. Things are moving. People are choosing to not participate in the Recession – nice! Keep it up, America!
