"Now that he has signed the stimulus bill how long are Americans willing to wait yo get relief?"

Fittingly the first commercial was for GE featuring the Scarecrow singing "If I only had a brain"

3. Well, they did start building a bridge in Missouri about an hour ago.
according to MSNBC. So Wolf is not in the loop.

9. I think his point is that we are now beyond talking about a bill - it is reality
and it must succeed.

Kinda hard to measure it's success until it passes.

10. Wolf is like all of them
They have to hype everything up in hopes their ratings will also go up!

I have pretty much given up on the MSM since all they seem to do is try and make a conflict out of things or go for the "doom and gloom" tactics that get people all worked up. Sure things aren't great, but hell we could have McCain as president, then we would be all screwed since his plan wold be another couple of trillion in cuts for the rich! :evilgrin:

Leslie isn't very bright, is he? I'm sure he got his marching orders from the corporate bosses.

12. Leslie Whorewinkle Blitzkrieg is about as unbiased as...
Karl Rove or Dick Cheney. I never watch CNN anymore...NEVER!

I wish we didn't have to pay for cable channels that we surf past every time!

I miss the days when Ted Turner ran CNN and you could trust the information you saw and heard there.

15. So Wolf, ready to weigh in on that WMD thing yet?
My, weren't they a patient bunch when it came to seeing how things were going to pan out in Bush's illegal invasions. Just another six months, folks. Okay, six more months. Well, if things aren't licked into shape in another six months, we'll have no choice but to . . . wait another six months.

Meanwhile, the Treasury is being emptied at an alarming rate, bodies -- civilian and military -- are piling up all over the globe, but it's okay, because we can wait another, oh, six months at least.

The ink on the stimulus bill is still drying, and Wolf wants to know if Obama's undone 30 years of Republican fiscal malfeasance yet. Tell me that one about the "librul" media again? It allus cracks me up.

21. "It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months."
Oh, wait a minute. That was Rummy talking about how long we might be in Iraq. Seems like worrying about when we might be *done* in Iraq wasn't that important to Blitzer and the rest of the corporate media whores even when it became crystal clear that Bush was going to be leaving office WITHOUT extricating us from THAT mess. And we're STILL in Iraq as we speak nearly 6 YEARS LATER and most of the corporate media whores, along with Petraus, et. al want us to stay even longer!!!! I guess the clock's not ticking for them though, eh Wolf?

All of this blatant hypocrisy just makes me want to :puke:

29. I swear they are the new Fox
and Obama has been Pres. for what now, little over 3 weeks. What is his problem he is going down. Wolf said yesterday he never cooks he eats out all the time I bet his monthly restaurant bill could feed a family of 4.

26. Is the economy better yet? It's been a couple of hours, hasn't it?
What the heck is wrong with Obama thinking he can sign a giant bill like that without a 24 hour turnaround time for it all to work out? I swear, the talking heads must be getting gold plated talking points from the RNC.

27. It is all Obama's fault
he didn't fall over backwards all bipartisan and stuff and get the Republicans to sign on to something everyone agrees is needed and was surely going to happen with or without them

:sarcasm:

35. The right wing rediscovers journalism, on cue.
All those questions they never asked during the * years come bubbling forth.
