1. I love Goolsbee going after the Republicans. You can tell he was a national debate champ.

I like having him out there as a spokesperson. We need some good on-camera fighters.

[Wetzelbill]

2. yes he's very good

He has a nice style and cadence. I remember watching him last year take a few people apart on television, he was so good I had to look into his background a little more in depth, and sure enough he was a very accomplished debater. I was shocked a bit by seeing a Dem not only fight back but go on the attack. There are some out there, like David Sirota, Cliff Schecter and Ari Melber, but Goolsbee was actually a presidential campaign representative, and that's what shocked me the most. Obama has some fighters, Robert Gibbs is another noteworthy one. Good to see them do their thing.

3. Do Republicans who are soon to turn 65 want to privatize Medicare?

Who the hell do these folks represent anyway? No social security no medicare if the get privatized.

They certainly don't represent most individual Americans. They represent the wealthy ruling class and the stupid ditto head, freeper, knuckle dragging class.

4. He even seems to get respect from CNBC

Who obviously will disagree with anything he says on principal, but they seem to be decent when Austan speaks.
Maybe Erin Burnett is attracted to him or something.

Dems need to attack, but be calm and collected as Gooslby and Obama embody. They need to push there way into the MSM and get the word out. Get the MSM to show what these morons are saying and doing, the kinds of rediculous and inane shit we get to see on MSNBC in the evening with Keith and Rachel.

5. sounds like a recycled McCain plan - and we know his skill with the economy

Is it really time to bring all that S&N stuff up AGAIN? These folks are truly an April Fools Commission.

6. it is basically what McCain campaigned on

after the crisis hit. Spending freeze except on the military, plus more tax cuts for the rich.

That's what all Dems should refer to this GOP budget as:
