Yes Rush has a big ego.  However if you listen to all he has to say.  He is often taken out of context.  Same with Shawn Hannity, Lora Ingram, Ann Colter, or any other conservative.  We have had 11 depressions since our country was founded.  The ones in the 1800's corrected themselves very quickly WITHOUT government interference.  The Great Depression of 1929 and the 30's was people borrowed money from banks to buy stock.  Stocks dropped, people couldn't pay back their bank loans, banks failed.  Similar to today except it is people who can't pay their mortgages and credit card debt, causing the bank failures, thus the bank bail outs.

Is that why you're listening to him?  The effiminate men of today are very uncomfortable with folks who are willing to say what they mean.  Maybe liberal public radio would be better for you.  They have lots of gay men on there.

I voted for Obama and I hope he succeeds.  To say you hope his policies fail is to say you hope the country fails because his policies are whats going to save the country.  Allot of his "Socialist Policies" are there to get people off of the socialist programs like food stamps, welfare, medicaid, and government subsidised housing.  As long as we have this 3rd world in our own country, these programs will exist.  As Obama said, this is an investment.  No one seems to get that.  You invest a little more upfront and it pays off in the long run.  Spend the money to turn these people into tax paying citizens and you no longer have to support them, their children, their childrens children, their childrens childrens children, and so on.  Then again, some people don't want the american 3rd world to disappear because it gives them someone to feel superior to.

Limbaugh is no more taken out of context than anyone else.  Remember "Lipstick on a pig"?

Jim, have you had college economic?  I have.  Government investment is government control.  Now they are controlling the auto industry telling them what kind of mileage to get.  People don't want small cars.  I don't.  I like big cars and trucks.  I like my comfort, safety, and ability to haul more stuff.  I don't want government interference. 

Government investment in what?  Infrastructure.  That is a given, and half the workers in my area are Hispanic. That doesn't help Americans get too many jobs. 

Telling business and industry what to make and how much is socialism and eventually communism. 

New schools.  They aren't teaching what needs to be taught now.  Their liberal twisted view of history. I raised 7 kids and I know, have last one in high school now.

Government gets their money from taxes, or prints worthless money to pay for it causing inflation. 

Telling us to register our guns so they can eventually confiscate them like Germany, England, and Austrailia did, no way. 

Now they are talking about the govenment taking over the banks.  Why.  Most banks are solvent, and not in trouble.  Wells Fargo bank didn't even want government bailout money, but was forced to take it.  They said they didn't make many bad loans. 

This is my prediction.  Obama's policies won't work.  We are going to see 10% unemployment this year possibly as high as 15%.  Dow down to about 6,000 or lower.  Within 2-4 years, we are going to see high inflation to pay for all these bailouts.  The economy will automatically begin to turn around in about 3-4 years just because cars will get older, and people will start to replace them.  Home building will take years to recover.   

Greed caused this problem.  Greedy poor people who bought homes they couldn't afford.  Greedy young people who charged more than they could pay for.  Some greedy bankers who made bad loans, then asked for government bailout.  Greedy CEO's who gave themselves big incomes instead of reinvesting the money in new tools and equipment to improve productivity.  There is enough blame to go around. 

We just need simple regulation from the government to only allow about 80% loans on homes requiring a 20% down payment.  Limits on how much credit a person can have based on their income and ability to pay.  I saw where one guy in California had several hundred credit cards that if maxed out would be over $2,000,000.  He only made about $60,000 a year.  Just because he didn't use the cards doesn't mean he should get them.  Someone else might have gone crazy buying, then filed bankrupcy.  That causes all of us to suffer with higher interest rates. 

Sorry about my rants,  but we have lawyers as politicians, not economists, or business owners.  Most are liberal socialists who want us to be like Europe with very few inovations, 10% unemployment in most countries, socialised health care with no specialists, and long waiting lines to see a doctor.  Don't get to choose your doctor either.  If Clinton(D) and Phil Graham(R) hadn't deregulated the banks in the late 90's, this wouldn't have happened.

Swampman you got that right.  That is why I am against big government.  They have a bill before congress right now to have every pistol registered and every owner fingerprinted and photo ID and have a safety course to own a pistol.  As long as the economy keeps Obama occupied, maybe gun control will not surface out of the committees.

Yes, I did take college economics and I learned that it takes money to make money.

The government bailed out the auto industry.  If it weren't for the government, Ford would be the only American car company left.  I want a small car.  Everyone I work with that has to travel 40 or more miles a day to work and back want a small car.  The days of dad driving a full sized truck and mom driving a full sized suv and living 30 miles from work are just about dead.  I know people like that and the $800 to $1000 a month gasoline bill last summer just about bankrupted them.

Of course government invests in infrastructure.  Who else is going to do it?  When was the last time a professional football stadium wasn't built with tax dollars?  Local governments do special infrastructure projects using federal dollars all the time to bring in businesses.  

As for schools, what are you saying?  We should just get rid of them?  No child left behind was a joke.  If we want to compete with the rest of the world we have to educate our children and not everyone can afford to send their kids to private school so we have to invest in the public school systems.  I don't know what a liberal twisted view of history is.  I learned history from textbooks not the rantings of Nancy Pelosi.

Obama inherited the bailout of the banks so we can't blame that one on him.  Most of the banks want the money.  They are using it to buy other banks.   If the government is giving them the money then they better have some say as to how it is used otherwise you will see the executives of the major banks getting large multimillion dollar bonuses.  Alos, Obama wants them to pay back the money.

When you speak of the long lines to wait to see a doctor, you are speaking of England and Canada which are soley government run healthcare systems.  They are failing.  The healthcare systems like the ones that France and Germany have are a combination of private healthcare and government healthcare which is what Obama is pushing for.  These systems are considered the best in the world and there are no waits.

I agree with you. It was greed and the derugulation of the banking industry which caused all of this.  Deregulation has caused allot of problems.  It caused the price of oil to skyrocket last summer.  If you listen to people like Rush, he wants to deregulate everything and rely on business to be ethical in the way they do things.  Well, we saw how well that works.  Everyone is out to line their own pockets.

I do not care for the policies Mr. Obama wishes to institute. As far as Rush is concerned he is fantastic! Weather I agree with him or not, he always makes me think about the issue{sometimes for the very first time}. If I think he's spouting drivel, I research the subject. If I think he's right on, I look deeper to find more truth! How much better can he be?

If you want a small car, buy one.  Don't tell me that I can't drive my suburban.  I am paying for my gas, no one else is.  Can a Fusion pull my camper?  Can a prius pull my trailer and tractor when I have to go plow snow from my business's parking lot?    If people decided to live 30-40 miles from work, that's they're own damn fault, not mine.  Obama's policies will eventually change/impact all of our lives, and not for the better either.

As far as Obama inheriting the bank crap, what party controlled congress that passed the bills?

Drive your suburban.  Have at it.  Its all yours.  The thing is, they can make suburbans that get more than 14 mpg.  Matter of fact, they have already come out with a hybrid Denalis/Yukons that get 21/22 mpg.   

Who signed the bill?  Who worked together to come up with the bill?

England has a combination of private/public health care also, but you have to pay for the private either through insurance or out of pocket.  

We have a higher standard of living than Europe.
The average European Union home is around 1100 square feet, American over 1,800.
The average European family has only one care, American family of 4 has an average of 3 cars.
The average European family has one TV, one bathroom.  

Basically the average European family is = to a poor American family.  If Europe is so good, why don't you move there.  It Erks me to compare us to Europe.  If you take out certain races in American, we are more educated.  Factoring in certain races, yes.  

As far as education goes.  Schools don't teach kids that the Pilgrams came over for religious freedom.  The Revolutionary War was started, because the Brittish were going to Lexington and Concord to confiscate the Patriots guns and ammunition.  This is NOT taught in history anymore.  

Kids get out of high school not being able to read, balance a checkbook, they don't know that we have a Repubican form of government not a Democracy.  (We elect representatives and Senators).  They don't know the 3 legs of our government, nor who is responsible for what.  

From what I have seen every Federal Government endevor is a money pit and doesn't get anything accomplished.  We have spent over 3 trillion dollars on welfare since the 60's and we had 13% poverty in 1965 and we have 13% today.  Before 65, the states and families took care of poverty.  

Obama will take us in to socialism and we will loose our status in the world.  Taxes on cooperations have ran them overseas with their good paying jobs.  This started under Clinton when he raised taxes in 1993.  The only thing that kept our economy going was homebuilding, not manufacturing.  We must bring them back by lowering their taxes and raising import taxes to make our industry competitive cost wise.  Half of our trade deficit is imported oil.  We need to develop domestic supplies of all kinds of fuel, to stop the drain and open up more jobs here.  I say take federal tax off gasoline per gallon, and tax only imported oil by the barrel.  The most socialist country in Europe is France.  Germany outstrips them in economic production by about 1/3 because they have a little less government control and more capitalism.  

Government is a parasite on free enterprise.  Sure you need national defence, roads and bridges.  But you can have private schools, privately owned business.  

Oh, I drive a Ford Expedition, insurance is $100 a month lower than an Escape.  I asked my insurance why, safer in an accident.  I spend less than that on the gasoline difference.

Conservatives haven't CAUSED more debt to the country.  The federal budget was balanced with Newt Gingrich was in charge of congress in the 90's in spite of Bill Clinton.  The war in Iraq and Afganistan caused the federal debt.  Jimmy Carter had high debt and high inflation.  Reagan fixed that.  

This recent debacle was caused by deregulation of the banking industry by Clinton in 1998-2000.  Clinton telling banks to make loans to poor minorities at 90-100% or face lawsuits, Republicans ignoring it, and remember congress has been ran by Democrats the last 2 years and ignored the problems.  Most of the bank repos on homes were to people who couldn't afford the mortgages, especially when ARM's came due with higher interest.  It was both parties ignoring the problem.  I don't believe in corporate welfare like bailouts, but you can lower their taxes to bring jobs home.  I was against the bailouts.  Newt Gingrich said not to GIVE the money to the banks or take them over, but LOAN them federal money at low or no interest to get their houses in order.

I have to give you credit for being honest.  Really.
Leftists usually do not admit to being socialists.

I hope and pray to God everything Obama wants for this country falls flat on it's face.  And I think ultimately it will.
I don't wish Obama ill health or anything, quite the contrary.  
Perhaps this country needs to experience how socialim does not work.
Obama is definitely the man for it.  
We have too many disillusioned individuals, like Jim, in this country that need their eyes jarred open.
Good luck to you Jim, and to all of us.
We are going to need it.

Yes Limbaugh said he hopes Obama fails!! and So do I! It's not the country dummy its the communist policies he wants to fail!
It was said earlier that if he succeeds he will desroy the country as we know it! There wont be the opportunity that we have had and our fathers before us. Hell if the people that are running this country now were the ones that started it. It would never have become the power that it is today! Much less gain independence !(Probably would have negotiated with hitler and Tojo(look up neville Chamberlain)) No one would have any reason to work hard and prosper , the government will take care of you. So no one would prosper except the Koolaide drinkers that think a free ride is the way to go. 
Hell yes I hope he fails!!

The fact the Obama is going to turn this country into a socialist country is as valid as his taking the Presidental Oath of Office on the Koran. Just a bunch of right wing scare tactics.

The Arabs love Suburbans and those who drive them.  Everytime you fill up you're supporting them and their goals.

Actually, England has a completely socialist healthcare system.  If you want to buy some seperately, thats up to you but you still get the free healthcare.  That system is going bankrupt.  The systems that I am refering to are just like the one Obama is proposing in which companies provide their people with healthcare and for those who don't have company provided healthcare, they get it thru their government

I have considered moving to Europe and if I have the oportunity, I may go work over there.  It will give me a chance to hunt Red Stag and Roe deer.  I am divorced and have a 9 year old daughter so I will have to wait a few years.

By the way, Europeans don't need 3 or 4 cars.  Most cars sit parked for weeks on end.  The wealthy don't even drive everyday.  The public transportation systems are so good through out Europe, there is no need to own a car except for the occaisonal drive thru the country side.  To say the average European = american poor is pure ignorance.  When their kids graduate from high school, not only can they read but they can read several languages.  As for our own schools, it sounds like if kids can't afford to go to private school then they should not be educated.  There's a winner of an idea.  We should have no problem competing in the world market with brain childs like that.

Here is an article about who is the happiest country.  The 10 happiest are Denmark , Puerto Rico, Colombia, Iceland, N. Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Switzerland, Netherlands, Canada, and Austria.  The US comes in 23.

Here is another one where the US is ranked 16th if that will make you happier

The US is ranked 150th in life expectancy.  We rank worse in infant mortality than Cuba.

Obama is going to tax companies that send jobs overseas even more than the companies that stay so I guess they will need another stratagey.

I love how everyone loves to blame Clinton for giving loans to poor people when the wealthy and the middle class are losing their homes.  I can't make the connection.

As for increasing gas milage in large trucks, I can understand why you have no faith in our auto industry seeing as we have to go without educating the majority of children in this country (because they can't afford to go to private school) who would be responsible for accomplishing this.  Don't worry, other countries educate their children.  Perhaps our auto industries will give those jobs to them.

 I have to agree with Limbaugh, I hope BHO and all who follow him fail and leave this country. He is a parasite on our country as well as those who voted for him are parasites. There is not one thing about the liberal parasites that is worthy of compromising  and I would feel no saddness what so ever if all died tomorrow.
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

"THE US IS RANKED 150TH IN LIFE EXPECTANCY. WE RANK WORSE IN INFANT MORTALITY THAN CUBA." Thank you redneck Jim- I was kind of wondering why Osama wanted to fund abortions around the world.
