It's getting better. I think I'll go for a walk.

I continue to be astonished at the right wing rhetoric out there. Complaining that President Obama is destroying the economy, that the stimulus isn't working, that what we need more of now is deregulation and tax cuts.

How can they say it with a straight face? How can someone call for more of what destroyed the economy and has deeply hurt millions of people? People are out of work, out of their homes and out of their medical coverage. More people are hungry than since the Great Depression. And it's the Republicans' fault.

President Obama and the Democrats are making it better. I wish they were doing more to make it more better, but the resistance to any measure that would actually create jobs, stabilize our banking system, and keep poop and lead out of our food and toys? Unacceptable.
