....Mr. Buffett, I hear what your saying....But you fail to realize. The ECONOMIC MESS. Is far, far worse than any of them thought...Remember. It took along time for "w" to admit that we were in a recession. He was in denial.....Also people like jim kramer, larry kudlow, and The wall street, big banks, and real estate crowd got us into this mess. The 'gordon gekkos'. We are at fault to. Because we wanted to be 'bud fox'.

EXACTLY RIGHT!!!!

I HAVEN'T SEEN A "single" PROPER RESPONSE FROM GOP THAT IS EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE – YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DISAGREE AND YOU SHOULD BUT ALWAYS TRY TO COUNTER PRESENT A "better / pragmatic" SOLUTION ON THE TABLE!!

ALL I HAVE HEARD IS THE STERO TYPE – BIG vs SMALL GOVERNMENT; PUBLIC vs PRIVATE SECTOR, PRO vs ANTI CHOICE....

THESE GUYS ARE JUST MOURONS – THEY HAVEN'T REALIZED THAT THE GROUND HAS SHAKEN UNDERNEATH US!!!

Over half of the people who blog and fingerpoint do not know what they are talking about so I am sure you are not going to listen to this billionaire's advice.

He's right people! The divide and conquer mentality in Washington needs to end before anything changes! Its too bad 99% of our elected officials are spineless weasels.............. That doesn't help either!

At least he feels we should stand by our president. But he also is right there is a lot of vengeance and finger pointing.

I like this "clear" idea...........but it would be the first time the Guv was clear, so easier said, then done.

As usual he is right. No more earmarks.

I think Buffet's head is muddled.

As long as the public allow Limbaugh, and Republican investors who shape the market to shape their opinions, they will live in fear. Two months is not a long time, considering the six or more years that this mess had been festering. Pundits like Matthews, and others, need to back off and let the President do his job. The mess wasn't built in a day – the fix won't work in two months. Media, get a grip on yourselves.

Warren, shut the hell up! You, the media, the President and everyone in between need to shut up! Every time someone makes an asinine statement about how bad it is, it gets even worse. So be quiet!

Warren Buffet illustrates why he is the richest man in America.

Smart, Very Smart and good advice. I only hope that our current administration (and Congress) heeds it.

ANY BILLIARE NEEDS TO SHUT HIS MOUTH ARE PAY MORE!

Buffet is completely wrong. If this is a war, then the "minority" has a duty to ensure that the best and proper course of action is taken. This can only be done after thoughtful debate and the presentation of multiple alternatives. This was not done by Pelosi, Reid, Obama and Co.

I think the "minority" is doing the country a huge service in questioning and checking the idiocy of the Obama administration.

I agree! Obama has set his intentions. It is up to Congress to act and Congress is divided. You've got people on the right who are more concerned about politics than economics or what is best for the American people. The people on the left need to also be willing to bend. This is a United States of America problem and political divisions need to come out of it. This is the main reason Obama keeps stressing bipartisanship but it falls on deaf ears. Maybe the right will listen to Buffet, especially since their polling numbers are in the tank. The stimulus should have been bigger than what it got watered down to be. I fear now that with unemployment continuing to climb, it will end up being a wash anyway.

First Obama needs to quit blaming Bush and focus on the solution. The he needs to use his gift of speach to educate us about the plan and not hide the fact that it is all special projects that Dems have always wanted to put in place instead of a package for the economy.

Amen.

Quite the contrary, I think the government's message is very clear: "If you are a hard working person who has had success in what you do, you are screwed and we're gonna take your money." Because as we're all trying to be led to believe, it's much better to sit on our butts, do nothing, and let the government take care of us. That's what they want, just look at it. Gone is responsibility and fiscal planning, in its place is government luring you to suck on its teet.

Maybe they'd like it if we were all mindless drones. Well I mean besides those who are already blindly and stupidly following this administration on every single thing they say.

Obama should have appointed this man a top advisor. The Obama admin is making this up as it goes along and hoping and praying it works.

Obama also needs to stand up to Nancy Pelosi and stop letting her partisan ego trip ruin legislation.

Very good article.
I agree with Mr. Buffet – completely.

I agree. If the Republicans don't like what's put on the table, they should offer suggestions instead of just saying NO and then criticizing.

To republicans, bipartisan means doing it like the republicans want.

Another right-winger at heart. Buffett? YOU are old, rich, and useless. Go drop dead old man.
