Sorry.. He's leading us OUT of a massive recession, unlike Reagan who lead us into one.. Lil' bit of a difference.

and hardly any idol worship with obama going on.. He was elected in a similar wave of enthusiasm to bed time for bonzo...

As far as current idol worship, the statue is a bit tarnished. The buffing team is already at work but it may take a lot more than 20 months of spin to remove the canker.

Yes i agree, Beck and Palin need a good bit more PR work to remove the damage they've done to themselves in the past few years.

you beat me to it. a very interesting and entertaining read. combine it with "The Millionaire Next Door" and you're on to something.

Glad you guys dig the book. I think the author gets a little too philosophical at some points which makes the book a mind work out to read. The pay off is well worth it.

Also, his points are WELL worth considering.

Once again, as is happening in a LOT of threads lately, it's become name-calling, insult throwing, gosip/semi-fact-spinning garbage being thrown around. Like a room in a kindergarten.

We all need winter to go away and get back to cars and things that are fun. And not sit in front of a computer, think of a subject and play lobbyist.

This used to be one of my favorite sites to come to, now it's dissolving into lots of crap.

Just stay away from the off topic section and you'll feel better.

It would be nice if both them would just go away. Beck couldn't be anymore of a nut job and Palin, well, need I say more?

Couldn't agree more. The pie-eating televangelist and the tundra-twit have passed their sell-by dates.

OTOH, neither are accountable for two years of unpopular legislation, double-down deficit spending and an image of non-plussed detachment.
