Yes, I tuned in to Mr. Doom and Gloom last night to see what he had to say. I quickly turned the channel to the Disney Channel (they were showing Twitches last night and who doesn’t like Teen Witches?) when El Presidente started talking about the Private Sector being the Enemy and the only true cure for the “worst economic crisis since the Great Depression” is the Government. Its as if they know how to spend my money better then I know how to spend my money. Which apparently they do and apparently I want to help supply condoms to people who won’t use them anyways.

Apparently I wasn’t alone in my feelings that he painted a bleak outlook. One that wasn’t very promising from a man who just months ago was promising change and Hope. Of course, his first three weeks have been rather lackluster. From cabinet appointments that don’t pay their taxes and are pretty much Politics as Usual players (so much for change huh?) to a “stimulus” package worth over 8 billion dollars that probably won’t do too much to stimulate the economy he hasn’t fared that well. Of course, thats what happens when the only thing you’ve governed before is the local HOA.

Unfortunately, I fear that the package that passed the senate today (narrowly) will do little to benefit home businesses and local companies and more to benefit those who depend on the government for their lively hood. Unfortunately it looks like the people who are going to be responsible for fixing the current problems are those that helped create it.

If you were Obama, what would you do differently??
