Dick Morris: Obama Spreading Panic Don't you just love the way President (We Are Not Quitters!) Obama wants to fix the economy by applying heavy-handed spend and tax policies which will only get in the way of the economy RIGHTING itself? It will also lengthen the recession's duration. Mr. Obama has the hubris to really believe---as all good libtards do---that only government can get us out of this mess. He wants to be our keeper. Never mind that US corporations currently have some of the highest tax rates in the world. Raising taxes actually causes revenues and employment to fall rather than increase.

Many of us believe Mr. Obama is leading us over a cliff. That's why more and more people are thinking of a tea party. Rick, are you out there? More tea.

Meanwhile, conservative Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal responded to the Obama speech:

"Who amongst us would ask our children for a loan so we could spend money we do not have on things we do -- we do not need? That is precisely what the Democrats in Congress just did. It's irresponsible. And it's no way to strengthen our economy, create jobs, or build a prosperous future for our children.

"In the end, it comes down to an honest and fundamental disagreement about the proper role of government. We oppose the national Democratic view that says the way to strengthen our country is to increase dependence on government. We believe the way to strengthen our country is to restrain spending in Washington, to empower individuals and small businesses to grow our economy and create jobs."

McCain rightly called Obama's hand on his no earmarks promise, as he spoke to Katie Couric:

"But when he says there are no earmarks - I just picked up a bill that we are going to take up tomorrow that has 9,247 earmarks in it,” a combative McCain continued. “What am I supposed to believe here?”

Meanwhile, on another planet, the new Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamen Netanyahu, plans to cut taxes as he takes the reins of government. Right man for the tough job ahead there. Fasten seat belts.
