Truly a bipartisan president. Talks like FDR and Truman and governs like Hoover and Eisenhower.

And of course the spending bill exempts the Pentagon because we're at war. If we have to cut domestic spending to fund our military adventures then maybe we need to rethink being at war.

How dare we touch the money that fund the military-industrial complex.

Tiny minds come up with tiny ideas...and on the economy the administration is a collection of tiny minds, unchallenged by the realities of Main Street, comfortably ruling from their luxurious furnished Potomac castles. Too clueless to read the real source of the populations anger. I can hear it now, as they discuss what's next...Yes, yes people want us to spend less on the rich when it yeilds no return so let's cut the money we spend on behalf of the people. Way to go guys great idea!!!

Dick Morris was not responsible for Clinton's reelection. Nor was Clinton's move to the right. What reelected Bill Clinton in 1996 was a vigorous jobs recovery that was on the way to happening anyway.

In your kiss and tell book, you whimper about how Clinton blew you off and wouldn't meet with you or give your disastrous Keynsian ideas any serious consideration. You had to stoop to the level of slipping secret messages to Hillary in hopes that Clinton might read them. Face it, Dick Morris helped Clinton get reelected by working WITH the Republicans and their "Contract with America" and that galled you.

You try to pretend like you saved the economy and that just isn't so.

A year ago, you were claiming that the public spending in the Stimulus package had such a high multiplier that by now the Economy would be roaring. How did that work out for you?

On your two "Big" ideas, Stimulus II is a cyanide trifecta. It is Political, Economic, and National suicide. Have you ever heard of the first rule of holes? And your mortgage idea? ...again, do you not learn lessons. Throwing more uncertainty into the mortgage market when Bush's TARP has finally stabilized housing and will end up costing us as little as $42 billion after paybacks. Why slice open a resuscitating patient?

What Clinton introduced to the economy by joining the conservatives was predictability and certainty, which your ideas will inherently destroy. That's why he was smart to give you the mushroom treatment.

Your attempt to rewrite history is delusional.

Obama's spending freeze, affects only a sliver of the budget, so it is nothing but a propaganda gimick intended to provide a flag of fiscal responsibility for his media sycophants to wave while he quietly pursues more big spending ideas that will live off the Stimulus slush fund until the political clouds dissipate and the porkulus spigot will be open once again.

In December 1994, Bill Clinton proposed a so-called "middle class bill of rights" including more tax credits for families with children, expanded retirement accounts, and tax-deductible college tuition. Clinton had lost his battle for health care reform. Even worse, by that time the Dems had lost the House and Senate. Washington was riding a huge anti-incumbent wave. Right-wing populists were the ascendancy, with Newt Gingrich and Fox News leading the charge. Bill Clinton thought it desperately important to assure Americans he was on their side.

I can summarize your article this way.

I hate that Clinton never listened to me, but snuck that naughty undeserving Dick Morris in to the residence late at night. If only Presidents listened to me we would live in a utopia. I hate Newt and Fox almost as much as my 16 year old bitter hatred of my white whale, Dick Morris.

Don't worry. The spending freeze is fake. Obama will continue to pursue his suicidal, bankrupting spending fest for at least another year until he gets kicked to the curb in this years mid terms.

You know, a few more days like today and I'm going to have to start giving credence to the paranoid notion that Obama is a stealth Republican - a clandestine "Yuri" planted reared and trained by Republicans to look like a Democrat while enacting a Republican agenda. For years, the Republicans connived to engineer a "fiscal train wreck" that would finally force the Congress to cut entitlements. And now here comes Obama, right on cue, exploiting the economic calamity as a rationale for cutting entitlements while letting defense spending race upward. I'm sorry, but this is just mainline Republicanism.

Following Massachusetts, Obama is apparently listening to some of the populists. But it appears he is only listening to the right wing ones. What on Earth is going on inside that White House?
