I'm confused. He says it will bankrupt the country but that they're doing the right things???

How is bankrupting the country on the right path? I'm confused dude....I don't see anywhere in that article that Gregg supports Obama's economic policies. What am I missing?

Join the confusion club. Regardless, when the ranking Republican on the Senate Budget Committee says that Obama is taking "the right steps" to save the economy, he has got to go.

Quoting from the article: "WASHINGTON – The top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee says the Obama administration is on the right course to save the nation's financial system."

Sen. Gregg says Obama budget will bankrupt US

WASHINGTON – The top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee says the Obama administration is on the right course to save the nation's financial system.

But Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire also says President Barack Obama's massive budget proposal will bankrupt the country.

Gregg says he has no regrets in withdrawing his nomination to become commerce secretary. He pulled out after deciding he could not fully back the administration's economic policies.

The senator said Obama's spending plan in the midst of a prolonged recession would leave the next generation with a country too expensive to live in.

Gregg appeared Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."

Say WHAT?

The only thing I can gather from that article is that Gregg thinks Obama is on the right course to save the economy by bankrupting it and making the country too expensive to live in.

Talk about talking out both sides of your mouth....

Sorry Gunny, I didn't see you had addressed this specifically to me.

What's wrong with Gregg? Nothing, other than being a "wishy washy" neo-con kind of fellow, in the same mold as Snowe and Collins over in Maine.

NH had an even better senator in Sununu, but he lost his seat in the Obama tidal wave last fall.

NH had an even better senator in Bob Smith, who, had he still been in office in 2008, would have been a natural senate ally of Ron Paul. He bucked the GOP machine on a number of occasions, even endorsing Kerry over Bush in protest over deficits and GOP "dirty tricks" in the NH 2004 campaign. The national GOP targeted him for defeat and he lost to Sununu in 2002.

But, like I mentioned before, there is a flood of Massholes down state that are a constant thorn in the side, and there is a record of election "irregularities", which I and Mrs. AF saw first hand last year.

Couple that with an ingrained "stubbornness" of NH folks in general, myself included, and you think you are herding cats nationally, here, it's like herding tigers. So, those two things being said, it's hard to get anything done.

I think, on this issue, he's trying to play both sides, "Obama's plan will fix the banks, but his spending plan will bankrupt us". Typical politcal double talk.

Analysis makes sense, thanks. Neocon double-speakers must go!
