Any Americans on here? How’s that Hope-ey Change-ey thing goin’ for ya?

Heard the Bill Hicks sketch about when a new president is elected to office? First day on the job they get taken into a dark room by a bunch of big business industrialists and shown a film of the Kennedy assassination then asked “any questions?”

I love the guy but he’s really making a hash of things economic. Now wants to add another $500bn to the deficit to pay for a government job creation programme……I dunno fella…..

What’s another 500 billion dollars when you’ve already got 15 trillion on your credit card.

Are all the republican potential nominees swivel eyed “string ’em up” type loons ?

The Republican base is insane so they probably won’t nominate Romney, but if they do he can definately beat Obama. He’s not an inspiring speaker but if anything all that silky oratory could count against Obama if unemployment is still above 9%. Romney had a stellar business career and was a much admired, centrist governor of Massachusetts. He’s going to have to talk a lot of garbage to get through primary season though……

The Republican base is insane

There is the problem. For republicans to get to the start line they have to spend time and money pandering to idiots. Once the race proper starts they have to appeal to the middleground. Its a balance that is hard to strike.

Borrow billions to recover…where have I heard that old chesnut before?
