More Stupidity in Washington

Even though I am a loyal Republican, when I hear ideas and comments from Democrats I try to listen and understand. Most of the time I still disagree, but at least I try to see the other side of the story. This week, I have twice been completely floored by the level of stupidity of people. And these are the people we trust to lead our country? This is really scary. Here they are:

1) Joe Biden, the Vice President of the United States. A few days ago he told a gathering of AARP members the following: ‘What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend m-oney to keep from going bankrupt?’” Biden said. “The answer is yes, that's what I’m telling you.” Imagine what would happen if a person filing for bankruptcy told the bankruptcy judge this...that he needed to spend more money to stop from going bankrupt. The judge would probably tell him he was a moron. If I was the judge, I would lock the dude up for being loco. Yet the Vice President of the United States seems to think this is an acceptable thing to tell the public.

2) Larry Summers, Economic Advisor to the President. According to Larry, the number of searches on Google for "Economic Depression" has fallen substantially since the beginning of the year. This is Larry's proof that consumer confidence in now higher and that things are getting better. Is this guy crazy? Number of searches on Google? I can't beleive someone who is an Economic Advisor to the President thinks this is somehow an important economic indicator. I have been telling people for months that things are looking better, and I use actual leading economic indicators, as do most respected economists.

Both of these situations are really pathetic. It just shows the American public that Barack Obama has no idea what he is doing...no idea whatsoever. He is cut from the same cloth as the other spend and tax Democrats that have been in Washington for decades. He wants to spend money and he is going to tax the wealthy and the small business owner to death to get the money to spend. He is not the "change" that everyone voted for last year (as I have repeatedly said)...he is just another politician pushing his own agenda.
