Politics of fear
The politics of fear appear to be alive and well.
On hesitations of passing the trillion dollar spendulous package:
"This recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits. Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse,"
Same tactics that Bush was ridiculed for.

depends on the facts to support it. If Bush, McCain, Obama, Pelosi, Paul whoever said the econmy going to have all these problems and independent economist agreed then i wouldn't consider it using fear to achieve a goal. Now if its just talking and no-one with any expierence and background of economics, then its just using fear for political gain.

Re: Politics of fear
Are there independant economists saying that this spending bill is necssary to save our economy and that we may not recover if it isn't passed? Is there anything other than Obama demanding that this pork infested, election payback, left winger wish list be passed or we are all doomed?
Motoz, regardless of which subjects you agree with, I think the message during the campaign was that Obama was a change from the politics of fear, and here he is blatantly employing the tactic 2 weeks after he starts.
