G-d that was an awful response. Don't the Republicans have a
communicator/orator that could do better than that? When you have no
ideas other than touting failed supply-side economics, you really need
someone that can make them sound reasonable. "Childish" was the word I
thought of too. It was like he was addressing solely the neo-cons, and
not the Goldwater Republicans, of which there are still many (of course
most of them voted for Obama!).
I guess they didn't want to attack the more ridiculous parts of Obama's
speech, like his pledge to cure cancer.
Last week I was in South Florida, and read the story in the Miami Herald
about the banker that distributed $60 million to his employees and
former employees, and it was a great move for Obama to have him there.

And after everyone applauded him the thought ran through my mind:
"How many of those applauding would have done the same thing?"
And the answer: Not too many. But perhaps this is also what Obama
was pointing out, to both the watching public and politicians in the
congress. Maybe he thought some people, upon reflection, might
think they could do some of the kind of thinking and action that was
depicted.

Perhaps. Not every CEO is like Ken Lay and Enron. Of course you realize
that the banker is a Democrat, and part of the Jewish banking conspiracy
to control the world's financial markets.

"Of course you realize

I must have missed that. Guess they're not doing such a great
job, huh? Maybe we should loan them more money, but as B.H.O.
mentioned last night, This time there WILL be oversight.
