why are you so intellectually dishonest?
Financial crisis and stimulus: Could this time be different?
Of course, why didn't we all realize this sooner?“The biggest problem we had in terms of the loss of political capital is we came in and did a bunch of stuff, and things got worse,” says Ron Klain, who served as chief of staff to Biden. “And some of that was just bad luck. If we didn’t have the 22nd Amendment and Barack Obama became president in late March rather than in late January, things would have been much worse when we came in than they were. And then the Recovery Act would have come not in February, but in May. We would already have hit bottom, and it would seem like things were getting better.”
But, I'm not sure what the amendment, limiting the President to two terms, has to do with Obama's failed economic policies but, I suppose, without it, we could be in a 3rd Bush term or a 5th Clinton term. That could be at what he's driving.
Actually, it was the 20th Amendment that moved the start of the presidential term up by six weeks. But as Klein has astutely observed, the Cons ution is all confusing and stuff because it was written like 100 years ago.
, why stop at the 20th? Why not blame the 17th, which provided for the popular election of Senators. Chances are, without that, Obama wouldn't have even been in a position to be elected in 2008 and, therefore, wouldn't have to worry about what to blame for this miserable performance.
why are you so intellectually dishonest?
Why are you so whiny?
We are in a third Bush term.
Without all the jobs.
That's what I said; it's another Bush term.
Exactly! But, without all the prosperity.
Sounds exactly like Bush's term then.
^^^ is that you yoni?
Not really appropriate tbh since it's pretty clear Obama is a Bush-level turd too.
@ the thought of not blaming Wall Street for almost destroying itself.
yoni, Cain said you should stop blaming others and start looking at yourself.
Well, it's pleant confusing for people who want to read more into it than there is.
I never was for the 17th amendment once I learned its impact. I think it should be repealed. I would also like to see an amendment that no person can run for a federal office what expecting to have duties in another. In other words, no campaigning on the governments dime. A person would either have to resign, or run on their record. Those in office wanting reelection would have to remain doing their job, and could only make weekend appearances. "Recess" is not a campaigning time either. This is a time when they are expected to be home to meet with their cons uency. I have no problem repealing the 22nd amendment. I simply say the president must remain in DC and do his job.
