Wanting to be a force for good? How terribly liberal of them.

That would be closer to the truth, although I don't see it as a liberal vs. conservative issue. I thought that liberalism was for things like getting abortions, smoking weed, spending money we don't have, or throwing us in jail if we don't have health insurance, not creating a world police force. It's not the "A Force for Good" that is troubling to me, but the "Global" that is attached to it. "A Global Force For Good?" I can't wait to hear the new versions of that when they are singing it in the classrooms!

Maybe Obama felt threatened by their old slogan.

That concept of liberalism is a cliche.  Note that Bush's spending broke the bank and that some conservatives on this forums are trying to label him a "liberal" for his hyperspending.  Unfortunately for them, spending while hoping that the money fairy will bail them out is straight from Ronald ("Deficits don't matter") Reagan.

Of all the things that the government has done since Reagan, two Bushes, Clinton, and Carter took office, a Navy slogan is the least of my concerns.

Consumer, trade data paints bleak picture

NEW YORK (Reuters) – U.S. consumer sentiment soured in early November on grim job prospects while a larger-than-expected trade deficit had analysts scaling back estimates for third-quarter U.S. economic growth.

The Reuters/University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers said on Friday its preliminary index of sentiment for November fell to 66.0, the lowest since August, from 70.6 in October. This was well below economists' median expectation of a reading of 71.0, according to a Reuters poll.

"Importantly, the decline in confidence was already in place before the announced increase in the unemployment rate to 10.2 percent on November 6," the Reuters/University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers said in a statement, adding "the likelihood that the sentiment index would drift even lower in the months ahead cannot be easily dismissed."

Within the survey, the 12-month economic outlook fell to its lowest since April. Separately, the government reported the U.S. trade deficit widened in September by an unexpectedly large 18.2 percent, the biggest monthly jump in 10 years, as oil prices rose for a seventh straight month and imports from China increased.

Actually, the bailout money GM received would have been good for the country. Maybe when some of us are sitting hostage at a FEMA camp, those slogans might mean something different?
