Why Senator McCain? Why?


Playing nice with the President, Mr. Senator?

Respecting the Office of the President, Mr. Senator?

I know the above are typical of you.

But in this case, many of us will not forgive you.

All the Republicans and conservatives are “unanimous” that the economy has been tanking and Pres_ent Obama is poorly performing his job.

But not you.

You had the courage to make a categorical statement about Obama that he was deserving some “credits”.*

I think you could say that it is a short-term improvement in the economy. And I’ll be glad to give him credit for that. But the question that I think we should be asking are the long term consequences of this unprecedented debts and deficits — are they beneficial to the country? And I think the answer is no.” [See Ref.]

Did you really say that, Sir? I still can’t believe it. (To be fair, I didn’t see you on TV saying those statements.)

Despite the oxymoron, can you explain what you were trying to mean by “improvement in the economy”?

Do you realize what you have just done?   You have discredited your fellow Republicans and more than half of the American people on what they have witnessed with their own eyes in the last 6 months:

The Economy has become worse in just 6 months of Obama’s Pres__ency.  Worse!

The macroeconomic statistics (including a negative GDP) generally support that observation.   Are you referring to the misguided GDP statistics, Mr. Senator?

While the rest of the World are now starting to post a positive GDP growh after the 2008 crisis, Obama’s performance is still negative: -1% GDP growth.

Are you crediting Obama for the bullish stock market in the last 3 or 4 months?   I remember you stopped your campaign when the market had crashed last September 2008.  No, Mr. Senator.   These rallies are still artificial.   Outside factors have influenced that bullish market (still questionable to me if it’s really bullish).  If Obama’s actions have had any influence, any “honest” market analyst will agree with me that they are more of a negative influence, not a positive one.

Retract your statement, Senator McCain.

THE ECONOMY IS GOING DOWN.   Obama’s socialist policies are ill-thought, anti-business and anti-economy!

Please, I have enough of these beltway platitudes, Mr. Senator.   It only creates an unnecessary confusion to the real and honest message of Republicans in the Congress and the grassroot conservatives on the street.

It now time to say “pig when it’s really a pig.”

Rod, I think it was sarcasm.

Sort of like: If he wants to take credit for this measly, shallow, short term recovery, let him. Whoop de do. We’re on the road to national financial ruin in the long term.

I don’t normally find anything related to the good Senator worthy of defense, but that’s how I heard/read the comment.

“God is great, beer is good and people are crazy.”- Billy Currington

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” Calvin Coolidge.

I also thought of that.

But a non-suspecting average American will take it as it is.

And a sycophantic fawning media

will trumpet it far and wide in support of their annointed one. They are playing with an empty gun. Don’t give them any bullets!

Don’t be so open minded that your brains fall out. (John Corapi, The Black Sheep Dog)

 
 

It's not like rushing across the aisle to catch a nice wave of popularity is outside his principles.

“If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms.

I don’t see what there is to be angry about. The guy thinks there’s a temporary up-tick in the economy. So does Wall Street, if you’ve noticed the Stock Market lately. I don’t think the market is pro-Obama either. Clearly the economy is doing terribly, but lately its doing less terribly. Thats just sort of the way it is, or at least the way it ‘seems’ to be. He did make the point that the Obama policies will be bad over the long term, which no doubt is true, since a lot of our problems are related to the huge defecits we’re running up, and Obama is just making those defecits worse and worse. So yes, short term it may get better, like when a drug addict takes another ‘hit’, but in the long run it just puts him that much closer to hitting rock bottom. Thats what the stimulus is doing to our economy right now. And I think that John is thinking along those lines also.

Fair enough.

I get your point, Sir. Thanks.
