July 8, 2008 at 6:24 AM in reply to: McCain should win in landslide. Obama turning out to be a lightweight. #234953ParticipantAdding up the cost of Obama’s agenda:
WASHINGTON — In more than a year of campaigning, Barack Obama has made a long list of promises for new federal programs costing tens of billions of dollars, many of them aimed at protecting people from the pain of a souring economy.
But if he wins the presidency, Obama will be hard-pressed to keep his blueprint intact. A variety of budget analysts are skeptical that the Democrat’s agenda could survive in the face of large federal budget deficits and the difficulty of making good on his plan to raise new revenue by closing tax loopholes, ending the Iraq war and cutting spending that is deemed low-priority.
Like predecessors who also had to square far-reaching promises with inescapable budget realities, they say, a President Obama might need to jettison pieces of Obama-ism.
“I don’t think it all adds up,” Isabel Sawhill, an official in President Clinton’s Office of Management and Budget, said of Obama’s spending plans.
“There will definitely need to be a recalibration of these proposals once someone is in office,” said Sawhill, now a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. “The fiscal situation just isn’t going to permit doing what Sen. Obama or anyone else would like.”

ParticipantNo big surprise. The Chairman/CEO of Starbucks has been trying to blame his company’s worsening performance on the CEO that he just fired (along with other excuses) but the real problem is he is one of these “balls to the wall” type of CEO’s that has no brakes and thinks that he is smarter than everyone else. I’ve been expecting this to happen for the last year.
I have an Elektra, manual pump, espresso machine that I use every morning. I mix 50/50 espresso/milk, a little honey and chocolate and bingo……a fantastic coffee drink. Starbucks does not even come close to competing with my home brew.
I did stop at McDonalds a couple of weeks ago to try one of their new, coffee drinks and it wasn’t bad; much better and cheaper than Starbucks.
