Will Obama save earth or just America?

Neither..he is continuing the bailouts that Bush did (which was done before by the way in the 80's recession)...McCain warned America Obama would have all that new spending and he was right..and this stimulus package does nothing for retired persons or those whose unemployment has run out..at least Bush gave us some of our tax money back..Obama is a typical democrat..tax and spend...He is going to revoke the tax cuts Bush gave us including the marriage tax..hold on to your wallets, they are going to be thinner real fast.

Oh, yeah, like how fat our wallets got during Bush's two terms? :rolleyes: At least Obama is holding the execs responsible for misusing the baillout money. There will be accountability while Obama is in charge, unlike when Dubya was asleep at the wheel. Can you say Katrina? Iraq?

If our wallets are going to be thinner, Lightinspire, blame all the companies laying off massive amounts of regular people while continuing to pay their failed exes huge salaries and obscene golden parachutes, who fly in overpriced corporate jets, and redecorate their offices to the tune of $1 million. You know, the real base of the Republican Party, not the deluded Joe and Jane Sixpacks out there who've fallen for the GOP's decades long con job! :guffaw:-- RR
 
The Savior is trying to screw over every TV station in the US. All station revenue is taking a downturn that would have been in part been offset by shutting down the analog transmitters next month. Obamas team is trying to push the date back... again (this was originally slated for 2006!) to August.

We're not a big station, but the analog transmitter costs us $5k per month to run, and we're one of the smaller market in the US.

If this happens, some of my coworkers may well be learning what great social benefits Obama will hand out to the unemployed. I may well also have to learn this lesson.
 
If 5k a month is killing your station, you'd be hurting regardless.

Margins are really that tight down at the lower sector of the 211 American TV Markets. Revenue is still dropping due to decreased spot sales. So yeah, we are hurting regardless, but we sure as hell don't need the "help" of the Feds to continue bleeding out.

On a bright note, the House just defeated the motion to delay the DTV transition, so being worried over it or further dicsussion on the point is moot.
 
^ If it's pointing that gun at me with that ice cold stare on its face and tells me it looks enough like him, I buy one and don't question the awesome power of Barack-fu :shifty:
