Talking Points

As one Obama supporter said, according to The Weekly Standard blog, "I feel dumber after reading that."

Below is the "talking points" the above quote refers to. Apparently Obama and the DNC asked liberals to hold "economic stimulus house party" where liberals could come together and perform "grassroots activism" in support of the so-called stimulus bill.

The DNC even supplied a a 13-minute online video of DNC Chair Tim Kaine answering viewer-submitted questions. There were 3,000 parties nation-wide and each party organizer was supposed to fill out a questionnaire for a report on what the base is thinking.

Basically "the base" is thinking "shoulda asked sooner" and "this is not particularly informative".

When you look at the pathetic "talking points" memo sent out with the apparently uninformative DVD, you'll see just how badly the Mainstream Media misled the American people when they unashamedly supported Obama over anyone with any competence/experience.

TALKING POINTS
PRESIDENT OBAMA'S ECONOMIC STIMULUS PLAN
KEY POINT: We are in the midst of an unprecedented crisis that calls for unprecedented action; we must act quickly and responsibly to both strengthen our economy now and invest in long-term growth and prosperity.

The President has and continues to be committed to a bi-partisan process that takes different views and ideas into account to ensure a recovery package that:
• Creates new jobs and saves the ones that are on the line;
• Cuts taxes for the Middle Class;
• Creates investments that ensure our long-term energy independence;
• Reinvigorates our infrastructure while creating jobs and stimulating long term growth;
• Demands transparency and accountability that guarantees taxpayer money is used
properly.

JOB CREATION: President Obama's economic recovery plan (also known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan) will put people back to work in the short term by ensuring that the money being invested gets out the door immediately and is directly targeted to job-creation. The plan will generate or save three to four million new jobs. The vast majority of these jobs will be created in the private sector[typo alert - they didn't end this sentence with a period.]

REINVIGORATE INFRASTRUCTURE/STIMULATE LONG-TERM ECONOMIC GROWTH: President Obama's economic recovery plan will also make critical investments in alternative energy, safer roads, better health care and our schools. These investments will have a direct impact on communities and both create jobs in the short term, and lay the foundation for long-term growth and prosperity.

TAX CUTS: 95% of working families will receive a $1,000 tax cut.

ACCOUNTABILITY: The Plan includes unprecedented accountability. All of the information on investments will be posted on www.recovery.gov so people can make sure their money is spent quickly and effectively in real time. An Economic Recovery Accountability & Transparency Board will report directly to Congress on these matters both regularly and with urgent reports for quick developments.

THE BEGINNING NOT THE END: The President also made it clear that his recovery package is just one component of what we need to do to get the economy moving again. The President knows that we also need to make sure we have better financial regulation, and that we act swiftly to get credit flowing again. And of course, we're going to have to engage with our partners around the world.

The Fisking possibilities of this memo are endless. I don't think you could select any random ten words in a row and not find an outright lie or, at best, a deliberate obstruction of accuracy. I mean, transparency from this administration after the parade of tax cheats and scoundrels we've seen? Please!

Again, thank you parternaistic and elitist liberal media for foisting this on to us.
