And what the president I think is trying to accomplish is a psychological stimulus package. -New York Governor David Patterson

Slight of hand….misdirection….occuring only in the mind…that’s what liberals are best at…dreams and fairytales.

It’s somewhat reminiscent of Jimma Carter’s “Crisis of Confidence” Speech in 1979. He “feels your pain” and ” shares your dreams” -This is just a different psychological stimulus package from another liberal loser.

It didn’t work in ‘79.’ It won’t work now.

From Bill Moyer’s interview with New York Governor David Patterson.

BILL MOYERS: You and other governors met with President-elect Obama in Philadelphia recently to talk about this budget crisis. But to help you and the other 42 states that are in such trouble, he’s going to have to go deeply into debt at a time when we’re suffering a crisis because of debt.

GOVERNOR DAVID PATERSON: I think that that is a seeming paradox. But the way I would explain it is that medications you’d never take when you’re well but you take them when you’re sick to help you get well but then you know you can’t keep doing it.

In other words, there’s a point that some of the conservative governors, Governor Sanford of South Carolina, they’re right that there’s a well.

And there’s a point that if you just keep spending and you just keep borrowing, you’re going be in a further crisis.

And what the president I think is trying to accomplish is a psychological stimulus package.

When you see people working again repairing bridges and building train tracks, when you see the dollar available to spend again, then the economy will grow and we can go back to I think a far more pragmatic governing principal.

Obama using the potency of the presidential bully pulpit and the media to convince Americans that up is down, left is right, the earth is flat and gravity—really, truly, cross-their-hearts—simply doesn’t exist.
