&lt;br /&gt;
This is a depression, not a recession.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no way out, either.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are in for a major adjustment in life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That&#039;s just my opinion.  I think the Bush years will be seen as the last gasp of a society that thought the party would never end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I also think there will be horrible hardships on the personal level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am not optimistic about the next decade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It will be grim, in my opinion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And Obama can&#039;t do much about it.&lt;br /&gt;

As smart as Obama and his advisors have been, I think almost everything so far has been scripted, and that includes calling out Limbaugh.  Except for the lunatic right, most people see him for what he is, a hypocritical, bigoted buffoon who would be finishing out his felony drug sentence if he weren&#039;t rich enough to afford a criminal attorney like Roy Black.

IBM just laid off 3000 here.  Today&#039;s layoffs were in manufacturing.  Last week&#039;s layoffs were among the engineers and programmers.  Amazingly my son-in-law is still employed by IBM.  I think they have one more cut to make.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Audiegrl | 01.27.2009 &#8211; 6:48 pm | #</p><p>IBM just laid off 3000 here.

The Republican&#039;s are not going to be able to play their normal obstructionist games in this economy.  You cannot watch 50K jobs go down the drain on Monday, do nothing about it, and still get re=elected in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All they are doing is making President Obama look like the grown-up, and the polls reflect that.  :-)</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lake Lady | 01.27.2009 &#8211; 6:21 pm | #</p><p>The Republican&#8217;s are not going to be able to play their normal obstructionist games in this economy.

AG - it depends on what Obama does and how fast we get out of this mess that the former administration got us into.  One thing I&#039;ve learned is that the American people have short memories and they have a tendency to believe rhetoric that goes against their best interests.  The Repubs know how to capitalize on that.  They&#039;re still using the &quot;fear&quot; factor to attack Obama&#039;s decision to close Gitmo.  :-)</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Audiegrl | 01.27.2009 &#8211; 6:11 pm | #</p><p>AG &#8211; it depends on what Obama does and how fast we get out of this mess that the former administration got us into.

Do you think that maybe he knew the Repubs would need something to oppose (to save face), and would need to do some preening and something to take credit for (which they love to do).  Maybe the bill that eventually be passed will be close to what he wanted in the first place, and he can look bi-partisian and they can looks like they still have power.&lt;br /&gt;

isPermaLink="false">http://www.taylormarsh.com/?p=316#comment-426334</guid> <description>I worried that President Obama has such confidence in his own ability to persuade that he is not designating enough people to go out on the cable shows to make his case,ie the stimulus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The talk today has been all conservatives making their case or pundits highlighting his remark about Rush giving them an excuse to play Rush!&lt;br /&gt;
