Thread: Obamas first bad decision.

He's not even in office yet and he's already screwing up!

I see he just chose My states Governor to be a member of his economic advisory committee. I don't see how he could have made a worse choice. She has managed to take our state to first place in all sorts of neat statistical categories like: unemployment rate, foreclosures, business relocating elsewhere, decrease in available jobs. Unless Obama wants to ask her advice so he knows his worst possible choice, but somehow I don't see that as his reasoning.

The only upside is that if this takes up enough of here time she will stop trying to solve Michigan's problems her way so things might accidentally improve around here.

Birds of a feather.

Thats what Arkansas said about Bill, "if he makes presydent he will be gone", and now with the lack of jobs due to Bills NAFTA/Gatt. It only spreads the disease. I truly hope Obama is a Good Pres. we havent had a good one in my lifetime, I am 49 yo and would like to see something other than a self seeker for a change!

The whole list of the panel he convened today:

Those attending the meeting include Vice President-elect Joe Biden; Robert Rubin and Lawrence Summers, both of whom served as Treasury secretary in the Clinton administration; former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker; Robert Reich, secretary of Labor in the Clinton administration; Laura Tyson, President Clinton's first chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers; billionaire investor Warren Buffett, who will participate by telephone; William Donaldson, former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission; Richard Parsons, chairman of Time Warner; Eric Schmidt, chairman and CEO of Google; Roger Ferguson, former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve; Jennifer Granholm, governor of Michigan; and William Daley, secretary of Commerce in the Clinton administration.

What are the Chief industries in Michigan?

Interesting.
In europe, Bill is regarded as an excellent President who did much to improve foreign relations.
To be honest, that's the only thing that is really visible to us so it would be hard for us to know if he did good internally.

Not to be a downer, but for us, I think we would rather have things work right at home than be buddy buddy with the neighbors. I don't think it's too much to ask for both, but if we only had to choose one...

I wish he'd just pick a new freakin' slogan. I feel like I'm walking through the ghetto every time his stuff comes on- "We need change" Sorry man, I don't have any change for you, I'm all out.

I didn't vote for Obama, but lets give him a chance. Half the country wanted Bush to fail from the start. If we do this again we might be in worst shape by the time 2012 comes around. Strength comes by all pulling in the same direction. Just a thought DS

Amen, brother. Can't we all just be Americans for once? I'm pretty young (34), but I don't recall ever seeing the country more divided. I wish we could all disagree on what we disagree on, but see each other as brothers and sisters FIRST, and people who disagree second....not bitter enemies.
