the hiring practices should be of no concern to these people, but rather that reputable and accountable application of funding recipient industries in the dispersal of these infrastructure initiatives. those comments are reprehensible and i have faith in obama that such considerations will not be a part of the final package.
i have bigger issue with charlie rengal implying that state level government should be coerced into bending to the will of the federal government. if the money goes to state level projects then it is all the states discression IMO, otherwise limit funding to federal projects!!

Did you see the video from when Biden was swearing in some senior staff? He made a comment regarding the "gaff" that happend with the Chief Justice and Obama. Obama walked up and grabed his elbow and shook his head no as if he was telling him don't go there. I loved it. Like I said I am on the fence with Obama and willing to give him a chance. But Biden is a scary individule

The good citizens of this great country will soon understand the meaning of the words Socalism and Political Correctness , to their great dismay. Look very closely , those red Obama ties , in a short period of time , will have the same meaning as Hugo Chavez's red shirts .

The financial industry as been nationalized , with the auto industry soon to follow . Hold on to your wallet and passport , you're gonna need 'em ! Haven't considered who he hung with in college yet ? , or ACORN recently ? --------- The night before the election I told a friend of mine that if Obama won , at his victory speech he would wear a red tie to send a message to the world as to where he stood , ala Hugo Chavez with his red shirt . Was I right ? --------- How about his campaign poster ? ...... or this ? No symbolism ? ... Nah ...just a coincidence .

But alot of his policies certainly are socialist. He basically called for redistribution of wealth during his campaign but people just ignored that. It is going to be a very interesting 4 yrs to say the very least

I am with you on the bailout. Mainly because who did it bailout? I sure didn't bail out the ones that needed it.........THE HOMEOWNERS!!!! I have yet to hear about one homeowner that has been helped. As a matter of fact the foreclosure rate continues to rise. They should have taken that money and gave it out like they did the first stimulas package. I bet that would have helped out some homeowners (if they would have used it on the home). Income tax wouldn't be that way if it was done right. The middle class pay a higher percentage than anyone else in this country. While the lower income get HUGE returns and the rich get tax breaks. The only way do do this right is either a flat tax or the fair tax

sign me up for a national sales tax!! I think almost anything is better than the current system. But I bet some people who hardly pay into the current system will not like a change. My wife told me her brother is getting $4000 back this year!!! That just chaps my hide. I bet he didn't pay in $500 last year. I HAVE NEVER gotten a return like that. Heck for years there I was paying in more than $4000 per year and then owed the Gov after I filed.

A topic Ark & I actually agree on. I don't like the bailout crap, either. This new stimulus package, in which Obama is calling it. Is just another spending bill. $200 million of it of this new package, involves distributing condoms. Its hard to say, what they have in the so called, 2009 stimulus package? Whenever Mr. Obama signs his autograph to it. Btw, has anyone heard the media refer to the president as Mr. Obama, yet? I haven't!!!
