...and there is no sign that Mr. Obama is any different from the past democrats that sat in the oval office. The only exception is that he has 100% compliance within his party and a majority in congress that will pass anything Mr. Obama supports.

How hypocritical is it that Mr. Obama continues to remind the general public of the deficit he inherited, but then spends so recklessly that the possibility of having a balanced budget anytime within his term is utterly impossible.

How hypocritical is it that the libs called the recent spending bill that was passed a "stimulus package". How does $20 billion dollars towards food stamps stimulate the economy? What jobs will be created by increasing food stamp allowances? This is only one example of many within that spending bill, but I'll try to avoid making this post unneccisarily long.

One of you left wingers need to help me understand what our President is attempting to do. The view from the cheap seats here in right field makes the picture look exactly like I thought it would look before the election took place; the liberal democrats want a socialist republic in place of our cherished capitalistic society. Let's continue to drain the rich to pay for the poor. Let's continue to increase taxes on large corporations that have been laying off employees at an enormous pace. Let's increase benefits to the unemployed instead of finding ways to provide jobs for them.

I'm ranting a bit, but one thing is clear. Barack Obama scares the living shit out of me. JP, UGB, anybody, please help me feel better about the job he's doing.

And someone explain to me how the fuck he has a 67% approval rating. They must have done the polling at a foreclosure seminar or a foodbank.

sorry storm, it wasnt meant to be an economic statement. it was just a personal feeling.

about the energy issue:
first of all, we consume too much. we could drastically reduce our energy consumption by properly isolating buildings or by riding bikes instead of driving cars.

solar cells, converting light into electricity, have a low efficiency. but solar collectors, used for heating up water, already run at higher efficiency. and besides, efficiency is not a good measure for solar energy, since it is availiable all day, provided it aint cloudy. a better way to measure it is power per required area or production cost.

That's actually a pretty good post by madhat_sam. Pointless, as he says, but still good.

niiiiiiiice i actually got some genuine laughter out of that jp

and shev, efficiency is the big picture here for solar cells, its the difference in having about a football field size sheet of cadmium to run a city or having a square mile sheet of cadmium to run a city, efficiency helps cut the already outrageous cost of solar energy down a lot, and there are many simpler ways of getting heat energy
