you're hearing is something called the truth.  I think it's rather refreshing.

gloom and doom

what a mishmash.  A link to "Fox news" as a source.  Nah.


A rumour from "they" about impeachment and Pelosi. Outlandish, senseless, and no source for "they."


Obama takes the state of the country very seriously. He has very little time to prepare for his administration to gear up.  He is thoughtful enough to keep the citizens informed of his plans and actions for the future.


The diddler in chief has mentally checked out and is awaiting his exit back to the "ranch"  and the corporate scratch-my-back lifestyle he so loves.


Bless my fellow citizens for triumphing over fear and smear and voting in a responsible leader.  Bless our new president for caring enough to take his responsibility seriously. 


 


You wanna see gloom and doom
How innocent you are. It was not the Bushes who did this. Learn the facts. Gloom and doom is what we will have if Hussain wins. Do half of all Americans have their blinders on? What are you thinking? Anyone watch the 700 club? I wish Pat R. would run for president again.

Enough of this gloom, doom and Armageddon.
Lighten up, will ya?
Gloom and doom can't touch us now.

It is only a message of doom and gloom SM

for those who do not heed the warnings.  For the believers, those of us reading the signs, it is a message of hope.  The return of Christ is eminent.  That's good news!  But at the same time we (Christian believers) feel an urgency to spread the message.  We want to share what we know and what has been revealed.  We want to share the signs that the unbelievers or the deceived are blinded to.


The stage is being set and Obama is the principle player now.  Is he the anti-christ?  I don't know.  What I do know is there will be many false prophets and deceivers who will pave the way for THE anti-christ.  Many will be deceived -- many Christians will even be deceived.  That is a disturbing thought for me. 


The person who posted yesterday stating that she prayed and God told her to vote for Obama, that is just frightening.  That is a Christian woman who is being led astray.  I hate that!  It makes me mad, not at her, but at the evil, yes at Satan!  Laugh at me if you wish.


 


O is doing very well with the doom and gloom speeches

He doesn't need the pubs to help him. He's doing it all by himself. This writer can't make  excuses for that so he attacks the pubs with his rhetoric. Another one-sided opinion.


 


doubt. gloom. doom. sign.
what's the use ... lets just keep going the way we are . . doesn't make any difference, anyway.  They are all crooks.  Sounds like the repub platform.
I hate to be the bringer of doom and gloom

but it would be prudent to train in something outside of medical transcription.  All you have to do is look at the job seeker's board and each job posted has hundreds and hundreds of hits.  Look on the company board and see how many are crying because there is no work, they can't find a job, etc. etc.


I happen to know that the electronic medical record software is not that expensive any more and if you're looking to learn acute care MT-ing, save your sanity and get into another field.  VR is taking over at a faster clip than you probably realize.


All this gloom and doom McCain's supporters
to be a real bore. I'm ready for a strong dose of optimism, hope and change. The republicans have proven to us over these past 8 years that they cannot run the economy anywhere except into the ground. That is why Obama is leading in this race and that is why Obama will win this election. Rale on. spin yourselves into the ground, for all the good it will do you.
In the midst of all the chicken little gloom and doom
Made my day. Thanks.
Doom and gloom predictions? You facts so far.nm

Yes, his doom and gloom is only making it worse.

Lots of doom and gloom coming from Obama lately...

Doom & Gloom: Drive the American economy into the dirt then present socialism as the only way out.

What a gloom way to look at things...

A lot of what's being discussed is to help our economy right now through the tough times.  This isn't new.  IRS was started that way.


A presidential term is only for 4 years, max 2 terms for 8 years.  I doubt that we will become welfare society in 4 years.  He also speaks about  being accountable, responsible.  He does not advocate going on welfare and living free, so don't know where your paranoia is coming from,  most of what is said about helping us with the current situation like high gas prices, affordable healthcare, no tax breaks for jobs going overseas.  Who wants our jobs going overseas to help someone else's economy when our economy is going down the tubes.  This is a time for us all to pull together, pool our resources.  Personally, I will get in behind whomever wins and do what's best for the country.  I have respect for the both of them for different reasons and think they are both able to lead for different reasons.  My only request is no more trigger happy cowboys as presidents at this point.  It just depends on what  matters to you most.  I am for affordable healthcare so that is what's on my mind and what matters right now when I hear them debating. I am chronically ill.  A lot of insurance companies don't cover pre-existing illnesses, not mine and I have called around looking for a health plan.  So it isn't like I can just go out and purchase a healthcare plan on my own.  I need chronic and pre-existing conditions not to determine whether I am able to afford healthcare.

Prophets of Doom - liberal! - radical!

The GOP's new message: Despair







THE FIFTH COLUMNIST by P.M. Carpenter






Either word-torturer Frank Luntz has been writing memos to the brass and issuing orders to the troops again, or the GOP is taking its verbal cues from none other than the certifiable Alan Keyes.


Have you noticed? "Radical" is the new socialist, the new liberal, the creeping unhinged hyperbole suitable for all occasions in describing President Obama's budget proposal. It's now conservative chic, simply all the rage: big-government "liberal" is so yesterday.


Gee, it's almost as if someone -- listening, Frank? -- has focus-grouped the lingering efficacy of again hauling out that old "liberal" bogeyman, only to find that most voters no longer care. After partaking of the desolating fruits of right-wing rule for so long, if liberal is its antithesis, then bring it on, they say.


They're finally numb to the right's tireless stigmatization of the word; hence a new one -- one with more shock-value kick to it -- was desperately needed. And "Radical" must have pegged the bogeyman-o-meter.


Never mind that what Obama now proposes is more or less the same he proposed for roughly two years on the campaign trail; and above all never mind that what he proposes is far more organically pragmatic than schematically liberal. For the right, debate is all about innovative exaggeration and ominous labeling -- "framing" remains the hot-button word for the partisan presentation of hot-button issues -- since an honest argument carries the insufferable risk of losing it.


Yes, I know the word has been thrown about by the right for some time now, or, to pinpoint its origination in application to Obama, since the fizzled phenomenon of William Ayers. But it was just yesterday that I noticed on the Sunday talk shows the word's almost Post-It-reminder-note-on-the-forehead usage by the distinguished gentlemen from the GOP.


The president is engaging in radical exercises, intoned the increasingly preprogrammed Sen. Lindsey Graham on "Meet the Press," oblivious to the profoundly non-radical nature of, say, even corporate support for some form of universal health care. Nor is equal opportunity of education -- so that, perhaps, just maybe, this nation can compete more effectively in the global rat race of capitalism -- customarily regarded by political theorists as Leninist to its core.


But hey, it's a lot more fun to bend reality when reality is incompatible with one's political agenda; and, of course, in this crowded age of competing messages, the bending must be done with overwhelming force and unprecedented volume.


Later, during MTP's roundtable discussion, the solemn consensus among three-fourths of the four-member panel was that the restoration of American confidence is indispensable as the first step in the restoration of the American economy.


Then came Panel Member Number Four, Newt Gingrich, the Big Idea Man, blasting away at -- any guesses? -- yep, Obama's radicalism. It was segment two; removed was the cardboard cut-out of Lindsey and installed was the cardboard cut-out of Newt. Yet the viewer would have hardly noticed the change in personnel. Both were reading from the same Orwellian Luntzism -- Obama's "radicalism" is double ungood.


What was Newt's alternative Big Idea? What, I hear you ask, was his counterproposition for solving what his party has created in the monstrous form of nearly insoluble problems?


Well, he didn't have one. Not one, not even a little Big Idea. Not even a whiff of one. Instead, he wanted us only to know that Obama's radicalism was undermining the very confidence that Newt's fellow panelists sought.


Newt wasn't doing that, mind you. Obama is, or rather, his radicalism is -- which at any rate just won't work, because it's too big in purpose, it's too challenging, it's simply too much for the American people to handle.


As I listened to Graham's rehearsed shock and awe, then Gingrich's, then a bit later Sen. Richard Shelby's strikingly similar exasperation on ABC's "This Week," it occurred to me that what now underlies the conservative argument is the precise opposite of what conservatives have argued for decades: that given a big enough challenge, Americans can accomplish anything -- but first, the gauntlet must be thrown.


I heard none of that yesterday. What I did hear was rote defeatism -- that determined countermeasures to undo what the right has wrought are doomed as radical impossibilities. In short, conservatives of Ronald Reagan's American Mornings are now banking on utmost despair, trusting that Americans will prefer that to "radical exercises."


And that's quite the seismic shift in their own message, a shift even greater than the one they're trying to impose on Obama's.
