#1 Hey! I got an idea! How about you extend the Bush tax cuts?

#2 permanent extension of the research and development tax credit.

Hmmm, just what is this item paired with, I wonder?

#4 Throwing money at the problem won't work. Americans were burned by the stock market, and are resisting re-entry. Until confidence is restored, the President should have promoted a well regulated corporate-bond financing system, to ensure secure payroll and inventory financing. As it is, next generation techonlogy initiatives - Nanotechnology, Semantic Web, etc applications remain as business plans in dormant files. Leaving entrepreneurs broke, won't stimulate the economy.

#5 Why is the First Succubus suggesting another stimulus (or is it "tickle-me") package. Was not the first one sufficient to buy enough votes?

Heard that the First Chupacabra will be on campaigning trail. Where the First Succubus works in campaigns as a run of the mill poison, the First Chupacabra may be a vitriol or even cyanide. I'd suggest she starts as soon as possible.

#7 You guys need to get rid of Obama sooner rather than later. 'Incapable of learning from his previous mistakes' doesn't really begin to cover it...

#8 If we replace Obama, we get Sheriff Joe. That's all the trouble with half the effort.

#9 Thankfully, we are already fully aware of the worth of "promises" from the great Impi Warrior King. Now if the lazy bugger and his famished, two-chairs bride were to announce their early retirement......

#12 Give more credit to the founding fathers.

The checks and balances built into the system (e.g. the November elections) will allow us to survive BO's administration.

BO wasted his chance at history by pursuing a health care reform that nobody wanted. The dems wasted their chance by backing home ownership for people that shouldn't own homes.

The republicans can cement their place in history by trusting the wisdom of our founding fathers.

#13 "I want all Americans to remind themselves there are better days ahead," he said.

Yes, President Shit-for-Brains, and the start date is November 2, 2010!

#15 Was this included in the White House redecorating project, anyone know?

#16 Couple of things come to mind.

1st. All of the original stimulus dollars isn't spent from what I am aware of. So now he want's to get money from where that doesn't exist to try and stimulate an economy he is destroying with his policies?

2nd. 67,000 jobs were created in August. Okay, how many were lost? In order for unemployment to go up, doesn't that imply we lost more than we gained? Also, how many of these were temp jobs? What of careers for people?

3rd. Making governemtn jobs better than any private job is competing with private industry. All you will do is make the problem worse. Of of course, knowing the great autocrat, maybe this is what he wants in order to create his beloved kingdom with he at the head.

#18 If Bammo, Biden, Pelosi and Reid all dropped dead tomorrow (or did the honorable thing and off'ed themselves) I'm confident the stock market and jobs market would recover almost immediately.

#19 I believe that. This bunch doesn't have a clue about how to create jobs. They have a disdain for the private sector. They believe that they are smarter and more talented than 10s of millions of people in the private sector.

If the pubs win big in November, look for a big market rally. If the pubs chase our exhaulted Impi King and the dems, Hildebeast, whomever, from office in 2012, look for a huge market rally.

#21 They believe that they are smarter and more talented than 10s of millions of people in the private sector.

Yeah, we'll let the smart people run things. The only problem I see with that is historically you end up with either trashed economies or mountains of corpses. Or both.
