The more the GOP refuses to step up to the plate to help get Pres. Obama's stimulis package going the worse they will look in 2010. (as if they can look any worse). I hope that Pres. Obama doesn't forget the promise he made about cutting taxes on social security. (Border Security-two very important words)

Yeah, it makes no sense, Ken. Bush has basically "left the building" and Obama can't do anything until Jan. 20th. So...we don't have a president until then?? I don't recall any of "changing of the guard" being like this.
What else is new, though...Bush seems to always disappear when the going gets tough.

Never mind that January 20 crap. I'm calling him President Obama, starting today.

And if you don't like it... TOUGH!!!

one week and counting!!

maybe mr bush can give some 700 pardons out like clinton did in his last days....at least he wasnt getting a monica in the oval office...and how long do u think this will last with the savior being the end of all the countries ills...i give it the first attack on america in 7 years and alll of u will be up in arms for him to do something and he wont know what do do without his telepromter

I felt safe on GWB's watch – I no longer feel that way with an empty suit who thinks he can have tea with people who hate us and our freedom, want nothing else but to either kill us or own us.

not a clue as to what to do,

I got an idea...Why not give the money directly to the struggling tax payer? Duh! After all, isn't it the tax payer's money? Imagine, give back to the tax payer the excessive taxes you've taken from him so he can lower the rate of his mortgage (or pay the debt in arrears & start fresh) instead of giving it to banks who won't give the tax payer a loan or reduce the interest rate so they can actually afford their home. Imagine, give the money back to the tax payer so he/she can buy a new car (or better yet, pay off the current vehicle debt.) Or give the money to the businesses who are shutting down because they can't pay their employees so they can make payroll & continue to make & sell their products. (And who knows, these employees may even be able to buy products, food, gasoline & pay their bills.) I mean, really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This isn't rocket science!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yawn......

BECAUSE THE HOUSE AND SENATE ARE PREDOMINATELY DEMS HUISSAIN OBAMA WILL GET HIS STIMULUS PACKAGE APPROVED AND IT WILL FAIL!!!!!!!!

I GUEST ONCE IT FAILS IT WILL BE BUSHS FAULT AGAIN!!!!!!!!

THEN WHATS NEXT?????????

Ken, there will be plenty of time for Obama to "screw up". careful what you wish for. Not everyone has your confidence in your saviour.

I give Obama a very short leash,because I didnt like either candidate,and picked what seemed to be the lesser of two evils.Im sure im not alone.He better get it right or he will find many of us wanting an anullment.Anyone who is a partisan in todays world really doesnt have a clue.Both parties are owned by the same money changers.

to stimulate the economy, just send around fifty thousand dollars to taxpayers, the idea is to novel, banks buried the funds they got, the auto industry aren't selling cars still, give the taxpayer funds they will stimulate with spending, not a joke six hundred dollars or fifteen dollar weekly taxcut

Being himself a Democrat, and with both sides of Congress firmly controlled by Democrats, Obama is very probably going to go to Democrats first on most issues. He'll talk to their leadership first, he'll talk to their members first, and so on. He's not snubbing Republicans, but if you're going to sell the country on an idea, you have to start with your own party. If they don't support it, it's a good idea to drop it.

GEORGE W. BUSH ISN'T DOING ANYTHING GOOD ON CAPITAL HILL, JUST OCCUPYING SPACE, BUT HE DOES NEED TO BE WATCHED.

He needs to slap some Democrats around on capital hill to wake them to a new day.They must be prepared to take action instead of taking leave.

I hope he is taking Rahm "The Hammer" with him. They can go quietly or kicking and screaming...but they had better play ball. Can you say good cop, bad cop?

Move out of the way–here comes the train, full of steam and hot air!

Spend, spend, spend..., liberal change you can believe in.

I like this – call them out among each other and stop the back stabbing.

No more bag money to nowhere.

Good, I hope they listen to him.

Obama got the money from Bush. The economy is now officially on Obama's watch. America better start saving their money in inflation adjusted bonds if they want to have anything left in 2012.

For the past two months, Barack Obama has been repeating that there is only one president at a time.

Judging from this, it's becoming clear who that is.

I don't remember any other president starting the job two months early, except Ronald Reagan, when he negotiated with the Iranians to free the hostages on January 20.

So much for negotiating with terrorists.

I'd like a piece of that pie. Has anyone else here gotten part of the bailout? I guess science wasn't a good career choice, should've been a salesman or retailer or something.

This people is what a true community organizer will do to get things done. If our elected officials work with Obama and not do their usual me me me we could see great change in this country.

It appears that GWB is sleeping in for the next 7 days and PE Obama is on The Hill working so why doesn't GWB resign his entire administration so the Obama administration can come on in and work early? I mean why have a sitting administration when all it is doing is "Sitting"?

Well I guess it is a good thing. As long as they sit and do nothing, they can do no harn or should I say "NO FURTHER HARM".

Just think – hunger will end, it will rain chocolate, and everyone will win the lottery as soon as the Savior is in office.

The Democrats and republicans need to unite in trying to save our country. It took 8 years to create these diasters and will not be
resolved overnight. We must be patient, supportive and trust the
new administration to get our country back on it's feet.
Will there be mistakes, of course there will. Diasters of this size
have never confronted us before and there is no magic wand miracle.
But our survival depends on politicians putting party, pettiness, egos aside and sincerely doing what is right for this once great nation of
ours.

I watched Bush's arrrogant last press conference. It was as if he had his head burried in the sand. The man has NO IDEA what it is like to be an average person in this country. Obama will spend a LOT of time on the Hill and work FOR the average American family!!!

give all the stimulus money to obama, he will put it where it's needed.

I'll bet they'll talk about alot more than TARP..... like how to spend our way to oblivion. Absolutely NO checks and balances for the next few years.......just a rubber stamp.

Only one week to go! I did not vote for him but since I live in this great nation, and yes I still think it is great because I have a God that is greater than anyone or anything, I will pray for him because that is what I am told to do in the Bible. (Still the best selling self-help book in the nation.)

Good to see my President getting things done even before he's sworn in. I think it's great.

Keep working hard for us Mr. Prez!

DON'T PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE, PUT AUDITORS AND WATCH DOGS IN THE FIELD FIRST. IF WE JUST THROW MONEY AT THE PROBLEM IS IT A STIMULIS OR A PAYBACK FOR SUPPORT. WHERE IS THE 350 BILLION WE ALREADY SENT TO WALL STREET CASE IN POINT.

We stand with you Obama!!!!!
The road won't be easy, but, we back you 100%.
