Live Blogging Obama's Press Conference --- Opening Statement
I swear... Ten seconds in and this guy's already blaming Bush. Dear goodness, sir, but you've been in charge for more than a year and a half. Surely things are all on your watch now!
Hmmm.... The usual Keynesian economic crap that liberals keep wanting to use (though the model has never worked anywhere on earth).
I agree with Obama on this: Upgrading tax credits for small companies and universities to keep new tech in the USA.
But not this... High-speed rail has very limited potential in this nation. We are too large and have too much open space. High-speed rail only works in nations with smaller, more concentrated populations.
And now Obama is blaming Senate Republicans for not passing his "Small Business Tax Bill." Let's see: The Democrats control 59 Senate seats. Not all the Democrats in the Senate support the bill. And, despite a few good tax credits, the bill affords more power to freedom-robbing unions.
Now he is introducing his next economic adviser. The last one did such a good job that only 15 million Americans have no job (most of them lost under Obama's watch).
