Obama Blasts Republicans for Games! - BIRD33 - 02-12-2009

Most everyone agrees with him. They don't all agree on every detail, but they agree on the concept and I feel that Congress will pass it. He is pushing it urgently. Selling it every chance he gets. I get it and I understand it.

But, we all know that over time some of the things will prove to be mistakes. There will be some missteps in how the money is spent and what stimulus it creates. I know that and you know that. And there will even be people later that will say he pushed it too fast. Didn't know enough about it when he pushed it through. There will be people that play monday morning quarterback and say that they knew this wouldn't work or that wouldn't work.

Hell someone will probably run for president in 4 years just based on what they thought we should have done instead.

My point is that he can't solve every problem at the same time. I know that. But you have to see the hypocracy of the things that you are saying about Bush and the war in Iraq. Yeah he sold it and he pushed it through. And yes he had most all of Congress behind him on it. And yes he relied on a lot of data to develop his case (some of which later was found to be false).

But he acted. And he did it for a brighter future. Same thing that Obama is doing. I'm not so sure that what they are proposing is the right thing. I don't like big government and this smells like nothging more than that to me. But at least they are doing something. And as long as everyone gets behind it and supports it, even a bad idea can work out.

Your premise would be valid if he looked at all the intelligence and its a fact Cheyney disregarded certain things that hurt his case and Bush did too.Iraq was not something that had to be done.You act like because he did it in good faith thats a good enough reason.It is not.We had never in our history started a preemptive war.How do you not get this?Good intentions don't excuse you from doing anything you want.
