DICK MORRIS'
December 16, 2008
2009: A PREDICTION
"The politics of 2009 will be dominated by a continuation and deepening of
the global Depression. Under the guise of stimulating the economy, look for
Obama to pursue a radical, socialist agenda that will bring America into
conformity with the government domination of health care and the economy
that prevails in the European Union. When the dust clears, the economy will
still be in the tank. The new president's stimulation packages will do
little or nothing to abate the depression, but they will transform American
life and politics. For his part, Obama will take advantage of his built-in
majorities in Congress to pass his agenda, but will suffer rapidly dropping
ratings. By the end of the year, he will be as radioactive as Bush is
today."

Interesting issue. With a certain segment of the population, who tend to
regard the rest of the population as meaningless (not to say brainless), he
is already as radioactive as Bush is with the population as a whole.
One of the interesting things about the present crisis is that very little
of long-term consequence has gone wrong yet. I'm predicting that so long as
there are no Big-3 Auto bankruptcies before the hand-over, things will look
so-so and improving in a year, and that people of a neoconservative bent
will be giving Bush and his administration credit for the timely cash
injections that headed off needless business failures, while blaming Obama
and his administration for the increased government control of industry that
today's mantra of "Accountability to the people who are putting up the
money" translates to.
A dimension of presidential behavior that doesn't get the attention it
deserves is the way a presicent gets his programs implemented. The
dimensions I see are hardball politics and persuasion (there are examples of
neither (Carter) and both (FDR), also). Reagan was a persuader, as was
Clinton (and I think Eisenhower). Bush is a ballplayer (as was JFK, I
think). With the appointment of Rahm Emanuel, Obama has taken the ball
field, but his natural talent appears to be for persuasion (almost opposite
of FDR, who was a hardball player and learned to persuade...better than
anyone). Gonna be interesting to see how this plays out.

I think he's seriously going to need hardball. This Kumbaya bullshit
looks nice on TV but it isn't going to get Repigs to go his way, at
least not until a few are given the choice of getting their throat cut
or Kumbaya, choose wrongly, and are eviscerated in public. Hope he
picks the right throats and has the guts to carry it off.

The latest moronic rant from Jacks. Any American politician who doesn't
agree with Obama "should have his throat cut". Spoken like the
America-hating radical muslims you constantly defend Jacks. Now go stick
your dim-witted head back in The Messiah's kool aid bucket.

Well you might want to consider four things bucko:
First, it was Dick Morris who made the prediction.
Second, you spent eight straight years bitching about George Bush. Expect a
little of the same for Obama.
Third, shove your race card up your politically correct ass - no one's
buying that bull shit any more.
Fourth, he may be your Messiah but there are 55,000,000+ of us who didn't
vote for Obama - and I'm proud to be one of them.

Interestingly, when Bush won an even closer election, you didn't point
to the fact that there were many, many millions who didn't vote for him.
Nope, then it was all about how The Bush received The! Most! Votes! Ever!!!!

You are correct that both elections were close. However, it was those with
their heads in the Obama kool aid bucket who tried to claim their Messiah
won a "landslide" victory. There were 117,000,000 million votes cast,
including all the phony ones the ACORN crooks could jerry-rig for Obama.
[BTW, what ever happened to those voter fraud charges that were filed
against ACORN in 13 states?] 62,000,000 voted for Obama and 55,000,000+ of
us who didn't vote for him. Don't know about you bucko, but 7M out of 117M
doesn't qualify as a "landslide" in my book.

Yeah, I don't think it was a landslide in terms of the overall popular vote.
Pretty "landslide-ish" in terms of the electoral count, though.

Subject: Re: Prediction about Obama

Wow, European socialism--you mean like this:
http://www.reason.com/blog/show/130606.html
Or Pat Buchanan writing this in latest issue of The American Conservative?:
BARACK OBAMA and George W. Bush
seem to have come away from their
study of the Great Depression with similar
conclusions.
To wit: after the Crash of 1929, the
Federal Reserve did not move fast
enough to save the banks and inject
cash into the economy. Second, the New
Deal, far from being wastrel deficit
spending, was not bold enough. So it
was that America wallowed in depression
for a decade until the unbridled
spending and mammoth deficits of
World War II pulled us out.
Bush and Obama seem determined
not to make the same mistake. We are all
Keynesians now.
Thus we have the $700 billion Bush
bank bailout, the $700 billion "stimulus
package" Obama wants by inauguration
to "jolt this economy back into shape,"
and the $800 billion fund Hank Paulson
created to get consumers borrowing and
buying again.
These come on top of Bush's $455 billion
deficit, the $29 billion bailout of
Bear Stearns, the $105 billion in pork to
grease the $700 billion bailout, the $100
to $200 billion to keep Fannie and Freddie
afloat, the $140 billion and counting
for AIG, the $25 billion for the greening
of GM, Ford, and Chrysler, the $25 billion
more to save the Big Three, and the
$20 billion for CitiGroup.
Now much of this overlaps and some
will be retrieved. But we are still staring
at a deficit that could approach $2 trillion.
How would this stack up historically?
A deficit of $1.4 trillion would be 10
percent of gross domestic product,
dwarfing the postwar record 6 percent
run by Ronald Reagan in the Jimmy
Carter recession.
Bewailing the "Reagan deficits" has
been a staple of Democratic oratory.
This will stop. But the politics is not the
point, the policy is.
Consider what we are about to do.
Bush in 2008 spent 21 percent of GDP.
States, counties, and cities spent another
12 percent. One third of GDP is therefore
spent by government at all levels.
Obama and Co. propose to raise that by
another 10 percent of GDP. We may
soon be north of 40 percent of gross
domestic product controlled and spent
by government.
That is Eurosocialism. And where
exactly are we going to get the money?
Americans save nothing. We spend
more than we earn: thus the levels of
consumer debt, credit-card debt, auto
debt, and mortgage debt. U.S. foreignexchange
reserves amount to a piddling
$73 billion.
The only nation with the kind of cash
on hand we need now-if we don't print
the money and invite another gigantic
bubble-is China, with its $2 trillion in
foreign-exchange reserves.
Will Beijing lend back the dollars it
has piled up? China certainly has an
incentive to keep Americans spending.
For our purchases of Chinese-made
goods have often been responsible for
100 percent of China's growth. China
does not want to kill the American
goose that lays those golden eggs-until
the goose can't lay any more eggs. Then
they won't need the goose.
But should China decide to lend us
the money, what will Beijing demand in
interest rates and assurances that we
will not default? After all, the U.S. debt is
70 percent of GDP, our savings rate is
near zero, and our merchandise trade
deficit is still running at 5 percent to 6
percent of GDP.
Unlike the 1950s, we are today
dependent on foreigners for two-thirds
of our oil and for much of our manufactured
goods-toys, TVs, radios, cameras,
cars, shoes, clothes, bikes, motorcycles-
and for the $700 billion to $800
billion we borrow each year to pay for
these imports.
With U.S. homeowners, consumers,
companies, and banks now going bust,
why must the nation borrow trillions
more to bail them out? So we can maintain
our status and standard of living as
the last superpower.
Bush and Obama are competing to
shovel out trillions of dollars, so we can
return to the good times of yesterday.
But wasn't yesterday the root cause
of today? Didn't saving nothing and
spending more than we earn, purchasing
what we cannot afford in cars, consumer
goods, and houses, buying far
more from abroad than we sell
abroad-didn't that cause this crisis
and crash?
A family man in America's condition,
awash in debt, spending more than he
makes, would cut back consumption,
find a second job, and get out of debt. Or
declare bankruptcy, accept the shame
and humiliation, change his ways, and
start anew. Is it different for a nation?
Yet we seem to believe we can borrow
and spend our way out of a swamp of
unpayable debt into which borrowing
and spending have plunged us.
We are headed either for default on
our debts and bankruptcy as a nation or
something less honorable: a quiet cheapening
of the debts we have incurred by
inflating and destroying the dollar, robbing
our creditors of what we owe them
and robbing our own people of the value
of what they have earned. And so it has
come to this.
What would the Founding Fathers
think of us now?

Nortwoods@webtv.net (John B), my dear, dear friend, there was this time,
oh, 12/18/2008 12:05 AM or thereabouts, when you let the following
craziness loose on Usenet:
> Two major things I'm afraid that will hurt the USA will be his

The union thing could go either way, I think. On the issue of the
Justices: like, duh. I just mean, you say that like it could go either
way (two major things I'm afraid...).
Of course an extremely liberal (most liberal of my lifetime, I believe)
President who often speaks of our horrible money-culture and demonizes
the pursuit of "expensive suits, nice cars", is going to appoint liberal
Justices.
Can't hold it against him, any more than you could hold the appointment
of conservative Justices against the (R) Presidents. Who have, after
all, appointed seven of the current nine. Challenges to Roe? None.
Gee, it's almost like they consider Roe to be so useful an issue, they
don't *want* to challenge it.
It's amazing that no one ever wants to comment on that little booger.
Especially here in RGPOT, where you can pretty much guarantee a new
abortion thread each week. It's, like, something you could set yer
watch to, and stuff.
Cheers.

I can't see those being "major things". He may or may not even nominate a
judge and most people aren't affected by that union issue.

I agree bucko and you can count on Obama doing both of those things just as
fast as he can. In addition, Obama and his pals on the lunatic liberal left
and at the ACLU will gut the patriot act, handcuff America's data gathering
capability, close Gitmo, ban effective interrogation techniques and
demoralize the CIA and the military. This will most likely result in
another terrorist attack on American soil.

That is quite a Christmas list you got there Bucko! I hope you like
crow because there is a distinct possibility that you will be shitting
it for quite some time!
I think the press has set the bar pretty low for Obama so he will have
to try very hard to hit Bush's approval level by the end of next year.
Gallup has Bush at < 30% currently. Anybody care to wager? I will even
give you 10 Gallup points!

As I said bucko, Obama can get away with any thing he wants and the main
stream liberal media will sweep it under the rug. Assuming they acknowledge
it at all. If he doesn't turn this economy around in 2009, people are going
to start getting impatient. But even though it was the Democrat's
entitlement subprime loans that started the financial crash, the media will
help Obama pin it all on George Bush. But if, God forbid, there is another
terrorist attack on American soil, even Obama's MSNBC propaganda machine
and Oprah won't be able to spin that one.

I wonder why you have such a low opinion of journalists, Mike. I can almost
understand it when it comes to tv journalists, because, like many other supposed
professionals on tv, they are chosen primarily for their looks (we're an
incredibly weak society in this regard.)
But I know an awful lot of [primarily print and radio] journalists, who work for
companies like CQ, Scripps, NYT, AJC, the Post, Wash. Times, and many weeklies
and monthlies. I would say that, as a group, they constitute the most idealistic
(to the principles of journalism) and dedicated profession I've come across.
Nothing -- except perhaps an imminent threat to national security -- would ever
be allowed to stand in the way of a story.
When you speak of "checks and balances," forget branches of government --
journalists are the most important checks and balances we have.

Hardly get's any sophomoric than that! DOES IT? But sure, if you
have ENOUGH money, give the right odds, where do I sign up???
Tell you what MR T, you get an attorney and POST have him post
your email address, and your home address, cite verification of
available funds and property owned, or your attorneys address
and the name you used that are connected to those funds and
property, get it all notorized, post it, I'll have my attorney
contact you, and we can get something arranged. BUT FIRST - HOW
MUCH MONEY ARE YOU WILLING TO WAGER??? Put up or shut the fuck
up.

I doubt very much the same can be said about George, a minor-league
troll who's one claim to fame is the sheer volume of newsgroups he
manages to irritate.
