Teleprompter and polarization

...So the Dems have succeeded in passing the "fuck with us more" big government programs package veiled as a stimulus package... My approval rating suddenly drops from 100 to 90... I thought it was a crock of shit and obviously the people who drive the ecomony thought so too as my 401k continues to sink to a 201k... "these things take time" the Kool-aid drunk Obamians say but come on people how bout a little stock market up-tick just based on hope? yet nothing... Us Libertarians think the mess would take care of itself left in the hands of the free market - it is good for the auto industry to re-invent itself by actually making a car people might buy - My wifes grandma waited 3 months and paid full price to get a Prius... and the banks that gave loans to people who could not afford them need to feel the pain that accompanies poors business decisions - yes the government (both Dem and Repub) encouraged it but did they have to write the business? No! ...and now they are bailing them out? My approval rating was going to be an 85 but I happen to love the fact that Obammer relies too heavily on a teleprompter - the republicans act like this is a bad thing yet lord knows GW should have use one more often. Since we all know it is all about image and bullshit, at least Obammer places the utmost value on it. So let's get him up to a 90 for that.
I was chatting with my buddy that pointed out that the best economic years in our life-time were the Clinton years with a Republican Congress and the Reagan years with a Democratic congress. He claimed that balance was the key... I contend that grid-lock is the key - if neither parties' policies are in play because they cancel each other out, then the American people drive the economy - So our best years are always when they can fuck with us the least. We need to wake up and realize that the only thing either one is REALLY good at is polarizing a nation...and fucking with us...
