bonnie Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/12/duct_tape_economics.html Duct Tape Economics Neil Braithwaite Remember last fall when you used some duct tape to “repair” the flashing on your chimney instead of calling a professional roofer. You don’t? How about noticing the stains on the ceiling and the water running down the wall above the fireplace while you were watching the big game. Oh yes -- now you remember After President Obama assured America he had assembled the best and brightest economic team to repair the economy, he proceeded to hand out the duct tape. All those cash for “whatever” programs, bailouts, borrowing and spending made the economy look like grandpa’s old recliner in the basement that no one has the heart to throw out. With all of Obama’s rolls of duct tape now empty, Americans are beginning to see quite a few stains and leaks. Oh yes -- now we remember. Unfortunately for America, Obama’s duct tape economic policy has given way to father time. The glue has dried and the duct tape is beginning to peel off. America will now have to call on professionals to not only make the initial repairs, but also repair the damage that has been done as a result of Obama’s duct tape fix. The economic repair specialists are now being interviewed and considered, and the decision on their hiring will be made in early November 2010. Be sure to cast your vote! UPDATE: Repairs may be worse than originally thought -- it looks like Obama just found another roll of duct tape. Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.

Maybe we could just put a permanent link here so Bonnie wouldn't have to keep posting all their content here. Is there a rule against articles from there.

Ted Oplinger Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 American Thinker has quite a bit of good information there. I can also add Townhall.com and the Drudge Report to that...and a number of other sites as well. But Bonnie keeps the pot stirred enough here just by posting articles from American Thinker...keep it going! Quote "As iron sharpens iron, so also does one man sharpen another" - Proverbs 27:17 "The offense of the cross is that the cross is a confession of human frailty and sin and of inability to do any good thing. To take the cross of Christ means to depend solely on Him for everything, and this is the abasement of all human pride. Men love to fancy themselves independent. But let the cross be preached, let it be made known that in man dwells no good thing and that all must be received as a gift, and straightway someone is offended." Ellet J. Waggoner, The Glad Tidings "Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway" - John Wayne "The person who pays an ounce of principle for a pound of popularity gets badly cheated" - Ronald Reagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Bonnie keeps the pot stirred enough here just by posting articles from American Thinker...keep it going! Have to check out Townhall.com. What I think is pretty amusing is being against Obama as president is somehow unchristian. Looking for something positive we are left with he "appears" to be a good husband and father and wants to find more "victims" to become dependent Less and less can defend the mess Obama has and is continuing to make. His socialist and communist appointments to positions of power that reflect his own ideology in our government. His less than intelligent writing of more and more non-sufficient checks on a negative balance checkbook. Somehow in convoluted thinking it will balance in the end. His rather lengthy number of tax cheats in his administration. 2,000 pages of the most convoluted mental gymnastics to make the american people believe his tripe about health care. When they realize what he is doing and don't want it,he uses ridicule and says "Tough,I Obama, know what is good for you,I will make your health care decisions,buzz off" A man that has never had to compete in business,work a real job or be responsible for his own health care is going to make decisions that will run this country into the ground.And tell you to like it,it is Bush's fault anyway.
