The video is gone but ibjames you seem to imply a politician may not be able or willing to follow through with all of his campaign promises.

That's just crazy.

Can the hate and fear mongers among us at least get the headline correct. She didn't say "I don't have to pay my mortgage", she said "I won't have to worry about putting gas in my car, I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage".

Key word being "worry" not "pay". Crucial omission on the part of the Youtube poster and the OP here.

Millions of Americans are worried about how they are going to pay bills and make ends meet. Millions of them are now more optimistic, and it doesn't mean they are all sitting around waiting for a handout. Sure some are, but they were before and it's hardly a Dems only idea of this bailout. If it's not obvious that she's saying her fears about the future of the economy are alleviated, then you're just looking for muck to rake.

Sore losers of the world, get over it. You lost because your policies, and your candidates, both sucked. The election is over, you can quit with the fear and smear tactics, and while you're at it, you can turn off the robocall machine too. Those tactics sucked also, and didn't work then, and won't work now.

j, Thanks for posting, I had heard this on the radio, the video is much more poetic.

kicksavedave, Your guy won, you don't have to sugar coat the rhetoric optimistic bull shit anymore.

"it doesn't mean they are all sitting around waiting for a handout"

Your right, they aren't waiting... they flat out expect it. (just like the woman in the video)

Yeah because with almost all of the governments remaining debt ceiling and spending power gone by the time he gets into office, Obama won't be able to do a damn thing. Whether she's waiting for a handout or not she is not going to get one. With Obama voting for the TARP/EESA he just voted himself out of any help from the debt markets. That chick has no idea how hosed she is going to be.
