"Fear is running the
show" says one economist. It may be heretical to say
it but perhaps if the government didn't speak
constantly of "catastrophe" if the bail out bill
isn't passed with every dollar in there, "fear"
wouldn't be playing such a big role in the job
market. |

Yes, things are bad.
But the genius of an FDR or Reagan was their ability
to rally the country in bad economic times by
telling the truth about conditions but making the
people feel confident that they could overcome the
problems facing them and succeed. |

No one has any
confidence in this crew in the White House because
they have been badmouthing the economy for 2 years,
trying to scare people first, to vote for them, and
now, to pass a pork laden stimulus package. In
essence, Obama is the anti-FDR who instead of saying
"All we have to fear is fear itself" tells us, as Ed
Morrissey so succinctly puts it "The sky is falling!
The sky is falling!" |

Obama doesn't want us
to believe in ourselves. He wants us to believe in
him. This is the way of the autocrat not a great
president. |
