Great posts by all !!!

What scares me, and VK among others think I overplay this, is that this script being followed was so predictable.

It is the way...lets just say of the organizers...create chaos, create the need and then supply the answer.

CABO mentions inflation. It is bound to come.

Obama has proposed cutting some payments to PRIVATE insurers on Medicaire Advantage. This with inflation will strap many seniors....now guess what the solution will be....MORE GOVERNMENT. This IS the plan, and has been the plan.

Look at all the "strings" attached to the stimulus plan. It makes the states beholden to the federal government after a few years.....ie., unemployment benefits.

Maybe I am blinded, but during the primary I read so much about President Obama, his life, his training and his real beliefs that I had no problem in saying during both the primary and campaign that this.....well, actually I never thought it would be quite so quick....was going to happen. His idealogy ALONG WITH our congressional leaders made this and make this inevitable.

He is a charming man with a gift of oratory not often seen, but there is nothing in his ACTUAL record that would indicate that anything but what is happening would happen.

I believe his entire administration, unless we get rid of the incumbents in 2010 (both parties) which I just do not imagine happening, will be that of "creating" the chaos, telling us how bad it is and then having the federal government step in to save the day.

When I say we have the "perfect storm" I mean we had a congress led by Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, Frank et all just waiting and President Obama was all they needed. He has, in them, the perfect leadership to insure the chaos, the panic, the bad news and then support his steps toward the federal government being the "savior" !!!
