[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 531849, member: 2189"] Partisan politics aside, from my POV President Obama is not that much different than what would have happened had McCain won the day. Overall, central federal policy would have been about the same thing. Not only does this suppport the notion that Obama's claim of "change" was bogus, it also does the same of republicans who claim the gov't "is now" socialist. I just [URL="http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/026801.html"][COLOR=red]read[/COLOR][/URL] this morning where former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough was taken to task on the very idea that somehow repubicans are different and not backers of socialist ideals themselves. What's sad about President Obama and to be fair he's following the lead of so-called "experts" who surround him, is the notion that we can borrow our way out of crisis. That in effect, we have to do exactly what we did that caused the bubble and then bust in the first place. But now it appears he's showing some kind of buyers remorse. [URL="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aJsSb4qtILhg&refer=worldwide"][COLOR=red]source[/COLOR][/URL] President Obama is correct in his observation, I applaud him for stating this in public but I don't see a huge policy shift in Washington itself. And at the same time, where are the "fiscal conservatives" from the otherside who should be speaking out and supporting President Obama's public comments? Listen for it! Hear it? Yeah, me neither. In an odd way, President Obama is following a very similar plan to what Reagan did when he came into office. Bush like Carter handed over an economy in shambles but unlike Bush, Carter had not skyrocketed the US debt load so there are differences. Reagan once you cut through all the myth, exploded the national debt and ran huge deficits and now it seems our new "Great Communicator" is following that same general path. Life's funny, democrats could easily stick it in republicans face that Obama is doing exactly what Reagan did but in so doing it's a blanket admission that the ole' Gipper's approach from their POV was the right one. On the flipside, if President Obama is following a Reaganese plan and Obama is socialist, then what doesn that make Reagan. :happy-very: I love it! It also points out that Presidents, either democrat or republican are really socialist but in varying degrees. It's like prostitutes, some go all the way and some don't swallow but yet they both are still called prostitutes! [/QUOTE]
