Liberalism is what's gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here.

I didn't plan it this way, I've been meaning to make it for a number of days, but my dinner tonight is going to be Senate Bean Soup. I think I need to swing by the grocery store and see if I can find a red/white/blue themed dessert.

What is even happening?
Look, what he's talking about is the absorption of as much of the private sector by the U.S. government as possible, from the banking business, to the mortgage industry, the automobile business, to health care.
What banking business? What mortgage industry? What automobile business? They've all gone tits up and healtcare's not far behind.

Okay, so he's been living in a bizarro-AU version of the reality we've experienced for the past 8 years. That would explain a lot.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hey. New board.
Yeah. Where that speech goes wrong is that by using the word "Hope" he's making it clear that it might work and he's just too stuck in his own ways to acknowledge that would be good.
My understanding of the Conservative line would say "I don't believe this will work. In fact, I think it will make it worse." Not "I don't want this to work." Personally, if the world went crazy and elected Ron Paul, I would hope that he was right, that my 18-year-old self who loved Ayn Rand had a better sense of politics and economics than my 25-year-old self who gets a little queasy at remembering those days. I wouldn't have much faith, but I would still hope to be wrong.

On a far more pleasant topic, how adorable is Jill Biden in her sexy inaugural boots? Love her!

I think he's been there for a lot longer than 8 years.
