" Republicans have caught the Democrats in a midnight “stimulus” power play that seeks to cut Republican conferees out of the House-Senate negotiations to resolve a final version of the Obama “stimulus” package. Staff members from the offices of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) met last night to put together the “stimulus” conference report. They intend to attempt to shove this $1.3 trillion spending bill through in the dead of the night without Republican input so floor action can take place in both chambers on Thursday. I spoke with House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-Ind.) moments ago about this latest version of Democratic “bipartisanship.” Pence told me, “I think the American people deserve to know that legislation that would comprise an amount equal to the entire discretionary budget of the United States of America is being crafted without a single House Republican in the room.” Some Republicans reportedly were in the late-night conference. But -- at least from the Senate -- the official Republican conferees were excluded. HUMAN EVENTS has received e-mail confirmations from the staffs of both Sens. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) and John Thune (R-S.D.) saying that they had no participation in the conference " On Feb 11, 4:36*pm, "Tom Littleton" wrote: "~^ beancounter ~^" wrote in ...

Tim Lysyk I am not in favor of the stated economic policies -- and few of the social policies -- of the Obama administration. He is, however our president -- yours and mine. I will continue to act through legitimate political venues to run and elect candidates whom I trust to do what I can only try to determine is best. In so doing, I run across people like this. Drooling, semi-literate, examples of what is the worst among us. They make us all look bad, as the opposition gladly seizes upon them as representative of what they see as loonies, just as the New York media seizes on a gap-toothed, cammo-clad Bubba to be representative of the NRA. [ pause, while the lesser of those among us make much of that ] That someone allowed to run around loose in society can openly advocate the assassination of the president, is beyond my understanding. He has removed himself from civil society and disgraced whatever military he claims to have belonged to. I only hope the NSA has flags on his postings. I (almost) never killfile people........till now. plonk cheers oz |

LONDON (AP) - World stock markets fell Thursday amid pessimism about the Obama administration's plans to fix the U.S. banking system and restore the overall health of the world's largest economy. European stocks were also undermined by a raft of disappointing earnings. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares fell 58.82 points, or 1.4 percent, to 4,175.44, while Germany's DAX declined 96.81 points, or 2.1 percent, to 4,433.28. The CAC-40 in France was 45.08 points, or 1.5 percent, lower at 2,982.64. Sentiment in Europe, already depressed by further losses in Asia earlier, was hit by the news that a number of companies across the continent reported worse than expected earnings and predicted further difficulties for the months ahead. In Britain, drinks maker Diageo warned that its profits for the 2008-9 fiscal year would be lower than previously anticipated because of the global economic slowdown, while BT PLC, the telecommunications company, issued its fourth profit warning in the space of just six months as a result of further one-off charges. |

During his campaign, President Obama's advisers promised an economic
stimulus that would be "timely, targeted and temporary." It sounded pretty good. But now congressional Democrats are pushing something very different. The legislation written by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is shortsighted, with potentially harmful long- term ramifications. What was supposed to be an immediate boost to our economy has morphed into yet another overreaching spending boondoggle. There's no place for things like $45 million for ATV trails and government office renovations. Yet, that's precisely the sort of unnecessary spending that Reid and Pelosi are pushing. Perhaps that's why polls show most Americans want major changes to the stimulus bill moving through Congress. The Republican Party is listening, and ready to work with President Obama to craft legislation that would immediately create jobs. We should first agree that with so many taxpayers struggling to pay their own bills, every dollar must help job creation. Republicans offered ideas to focus the stimulus directly on creating jobs and helping homeowners, but the Democrat leaders in Congress preferred the top-down big government approach. In his news conference this week, the president was selling fast and hard. He clearly senses that the American people have had enough of these trillion-dollar spending sprees. As the loyal opposition, Republicans have a responsibility to call him out when he errs, and work with him when he is right. In that spirit, let's recognize the Democrats' spending bill is a mistake. If you like government dependence, you will love the Reid- Pelosi plan that they are jamming through Congress. |

hussein keeps the markets in turmoil.......that's some leadership
there...... Stocks tumbled to late November levels Thursday, led by banks, as investors worried the stimulus plan wouldn't be enough to help the economy. Major U.S. Indexes.DJIA7841.97-97.56-1.23%606,985,000.NCOMP1530.750.25+0.02%437,398,500 .SPX825.0-8.74-1.05%2,075,727,700 The first rise in retail sales in seven months had buoyed futures but traders shrugged it off as regular trading got underway, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average down more than 150 points. The blue-chip index was trading below 7,800, a level it hasn't seen since Nov. 21. The market got a mild bounce Wednesday from news that the Senate had agreed on a stimulus plan but Wall Street wasn't convinced of the plan's ability to jump-start the economy. Financials including Bank of America [BAC 5.69 -0.38 (-6.26%) ], Citigroup [C 3.53 -0.16 (-4.34%) ], American Express [AXP 15.64 -0.72 (-4.4%) ] and JPMorgan [JPM 24.95 -1.14 (-4.37%) ] were the biggest drag on the Dow as this so-called "stress test" for banks stressed out investors worried about stock dilution. After U.S. bank bailouts had disastrous effects for shareholders, shareholders of Belgian bank Fortis staged a rare revolt against the government's bailout plans, rejecting the proposed $20 billion sale of the bank to France's BNP Paribas. Fortis, which was taken over by the government in October, is widely held by Belgian citizens, the Wall Street Journal reported this morning. |
