kib·butz (k-bts, -bts)
n. pl. kib·but·zim (kbt-sm, -t-)
A collective farm or settlement in modern Israel.

So wouldn’t that make the term “Islamofascist kibbutzniks” an antagonism of terms. (I think it’s way beyond contradiction!)

So, you want the bad news first, or the worse news? Up to you…

Nothing may be more important to public assessments of President Obama’s leadership than the state of the economy, and at this point there are political warning lights flashing.

In light of the latest unemployment figures, there are more persistent questions coming at the administration. Did Obama and his team get it right last winter when they put together their $787 billion stimulus package, or did they undershoot? If they made a mistake, what should they do now?

The administration is trying to tamp down talk that it didn’t get it quite right — talk created by Vice President Biden. On Sunday, he told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, “We and everyone else misread the economy.” But he insisted that the stimulus “is the right package given the circumstances we’re in.”

But it’s not just Joe ‘the Mouth” Biden. Per Obama’s economic advisor Laura Tyson, who was chair of Clinton’s Council of Economic Advisors:

July 7 (Bloomberg) — The U.S. should consider drafting a second stimulus package focusing on infrastructure projects because the $787 billion approved in February was “a bit too small,” said Laura Tyson, an outside adviser to President Barack Obama.

And Krugman has been saying that a second stimulus would be needed (and hard to get) since February.

They should’ve listened to Krugman the first time.

DING !

Uh, no. that was the senate

Moving with lightning speed, the Democratic-controlled Congress and White House agreed Wednesday on a compromise $790 billion economic stimulus bill designed to create millions of jobs in a nation reeling from recession….
The president’s signature tax cut was preserved _ a break for millions of lower- and middle-income taxpayers of $400 per individual and $800 per couple. That’s less than the $500 and $1,000 the White House originally sought, although officials said it would mean an estimated $13 per week extra per paycheck…

Scaling back the bill to levels lower than either the $838 billion Senate measure or the original $820 billion House-passed measure caused grumbles among liberal Democrats, who described the cutbacks as a concession to the moderates, particularly Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., who are under pressure from conservative Republicans to hold down spending.

Working to accommodate the new, lower overall limit of the bill, negotiators effectively wiped out a Senate-passed provision for a new $15,000 tax credit to defray the cost of buying a home, these officials said. The agreement would allow taxpayers to deduct the sales tax paid on new car purchases, but not the interest on loans for the same vehicles.

Obama’s proposed stimuluis was nearly $900 billion. And guess who was instrumental in cutting it down? Everyone’s favorite brand new DemmycRAT, Arlen Specter:

And to be honest, it’s all the tax cuts and stupid Republican crap that I think people most resent. But the public blames Obama for it. It’s a classic lose-lose-win situation. The public loses, Obama loses, but Republicans get to blame Democrats.
