CBSNews: Obama signs press freedom act -- then refuses press questions

However, Reagan was a conservative leading a center right government. Obama is a liberal leading a center right country. The party of tax scofflaws like McCain and Palin and Joe the Plumber is complaining about others owing taxes? As opposed to the Democrats who have been tax cheats and tax avoiders? |

Carter fought the Fed about this and delayed action until he'd lost the election. Reagan inherited an economy on the downhill with unemployment that eventually was more than it is now. Of course only Democrats are allowed to blame the previous administration. |

"The Obama recession is in full swing, ladies and gentlemen. Stocks are dying, which is a precursor of things to come. This is an Obama recession. Might turn into a depression." Rush Limbaugh, November 6, 2008. Obama was still the junior senator from Illinois at the time. |

In January 1983, it was estimated at a dismal 35 percent." http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/reagan/...s/pande06.html So why are Obama's poll numbers an issue to people who revere Reagan when his were even lower? The party of tax scofflaws like McCain and Palin and Joe the Plumber is complaining about others owing taxes? As opposed to the Democrats who have been tax cheats and tax avoiders? So both sides have tax cheats and tax avoiders. What's your point? Palin Ordered To Pay Back Taxes February 18, 2009 (AP) Alaska officials on Wednesday ruled that Alaska governor and former GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin must pay back taxes to the IRS. The exact amount the governor must pay is not yet known, but the Associated Press estimates she owes taxes on more than $17,000 in per-diem expenses. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_1...49-503544.html |

The people that he has surrounded himself with either owe taxes or are/were involved in some illegal activity... Congress has a 22% approval...Does that tell you anything? As for his speeches which are read from his teleprompter; they are of no substance. He is still in campaign mode. And today it's down to 42%. After eight years of "polls don't matter" suddenly conservatives are concerned about polls. Of course, these are the same people who spent eight years believing that "deficits don't matter". What changed? "Deficits don't matter" Dick Cheney, Jan 11, 2004 |

I answered that. Reagan's policies took a while to implement but were accepted by the majority of Americans. Obama's policies are being forced through and are unpopular. The party of tax scofflaws like McCain and Palin and Joe the Plumber is complaining about others owing taxes? As opposed to the Democrats who have been tax cheats and tax avoiders? So both sides have tax cheats and tax avoiders. What's your point? Just thought I'd provide a little perspective. |

What changed? "Deficits don't matter" Dick Cheney, Jan 11, 2004 there were a number of people, including me, who were not happy with the deficits. however, took bad deficits and made them horrendous. Bush's were at least somewhat sustainable for a while. Obama's aren't and his policies are making them far worse in the future. The war in Iraq is drawing down. Health care, et. al. will only get bigger. |

Stock markets react to what they expect the future to be even more than what the situation is at that time. |
