"They didn't vote for the status quo; they sent us here to bring change. We owe it to them to deliver," the Democratic president said, eliciting cheers and applause from the Democratic rank-and-file gathered for a three-day retreat in Williamsburg, Va.

Hope and Change indeed. This is such a post-partisan politician. He really reaches across the isle. That reach is just so that he can pimp slap the Republicans for loosing, but what ever.

"We are not going to get relief by turning back to the very same policies that for the last eight years doubled the national debt and threw our economy into a tailspin," Obama said — an implicit criticism of the GOP that was in power during that period.

Okay so we will get out of the national debt by throwing more money at the government to increase our deficit by over $1,000,000,000,000,000 (is that how many 0s are in a trillion?). That sounds like a flipping winner!

"We can't embrace the losing formula that says only tax cuts will work for every problem we face," he said.

Oh yes that's right the formula of nationalizing industry and hyper-inflation caused by out of control government spending and printing vast quantities of currency has shown time and time again to be the winning formula.

Obama has already tapped Paul Volcker, a former Federal Reserve chairman and a top Obama adviser, as the leader of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board.

Yipee a former Fed Reserve Chairman who has no stake in the Federal Reserve anymore wouldn't have ANY interest in driving the US further into debt where they would have to print more money and pay the Federal Reserve the interest on the currency that would be printed to pay back that debt. Nope no conflicts of interest there.

Members will include former Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman William Donaldson,

Ah yes, the SEC Chairman. We can't forget them. I mean there hasn't been a single instance where the SEC fell asleep at the wheel EVER. Bernie who? Nah.

TIAA-CREF President-CEO Roger Ferguson and Harvard University professor Martin Feldstein, who wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed piece last year titled "John McCain Has a Tax Plan To Create Jobs."

Nice a person who's company represents a powerful labor union in financial matters and a schmuck who supported a lame assed attempt at a conservative. Two more excelent people to lead us to the financial promised land.

Obama friend and campaign finance chairwoman Penny Pritzker also is on the board, as is Caterpillar Inc. Chairman-CEO Jim Owens and General Electric Co. CEO Jeffrey R. Immelt. Two labor officials — Anna Burger of Service Employees International Union and Richard Trumka of the AFL-CIO — also were named to the 15-member board designed to offer Obama advice as he seeks a way to weather the crisis and rebuild the economy.

Oh yeah if I am looking for financial advise I want to go to a guy who is able to take a multi-national corperation's stock price from $60/share to $10/share, a failed banker (Penny Pritzker), and two labor bosses. Not a single one of them would have anything but the best interest of the nation and they each have impecable judgement.
