OOPS

Don’t you read the reports before you cite them? Or do you just assume the liberal media (in this case, AP), will get it right?

I thought everyone here held a deep distrust of ‘mainstream media’. I guess that distrust only comes into play when you want it to.

Limbaugh, Forbes, Welch, Ioccoca on board..

Sign me up…Would change the American Vista in six months.

No foreign interference…ie…China won’t own my mortgage.

Then there’s that idea being tossed around of selling off the vastly inferior and superfluous North Dakota. I mean do we REALLY need two Dakotas?

After they went head-long for Obama, I say let’s sell off North Carolina and throw in Virginia as a two-fer!

It must be so awesome to freeze your butt off and overly cogitate that you, a most benighted, self-important soul thought that The One spoke to you and you alone. Hate to break it to ya, but after China and the Saudis pull the plug, all the CHANGE you’ll have will be the few pennies you’ll be clinking together while waiting in the unemployment line. The same promise you think he made to you, America, he made to another poor smuck in yet one more disenfranchized, victim focus poll group.

Oh, and thanks for turning your back on the military too, America. The military knows your decision for what it is- defeatism.

Oh, and keep on living in denial that you can run up credit cards, live in a house you’ll never own but merely making payments on like any tenant, walk away from your house when you can’t hack it, or generally live on borrowed time, America. So tune into American Idol to feed your need for a new celebrity idol to worship.

Oh, and America? If you think that at the end of the day that there won’t be a massive bill due at the end of bailapalooza, think again. It will happen when your taxes get raised, Obummer makes it even more dificult for business to exist and so more American jobs will be going to China and India.

You see, America, the federal government is outta control and you just enabled it some more.

Obama will now get to work on borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars from you, your children, and your grandchildren for a doomed fiscal stimulus.

Wouldn’t that imply some intention of HIM paying it back if he were really going to “borrow” it?

And this is the party that is so against corporate welfare?

Where are Republicans? Weakened and struggling to figure out how to be the party of opposition instead of the party of supplication.

And then we have John McCain, struggling to figure out how to best ingratiate himself with the left and stab what is supposedly his own party in the back.

I’m warming up to the European party system, where they can kick people out of their party for betraying it.

Actually, using the miracle of a compound interest calculator, I have determined that the Dow (assuming a 1.28% growth every 1.5 business days) should be around 60,000 by the end of the year (someone can check me on that).

I will go out on a limb here right now and promise that to you. If on December 31, 2009 the Dow is not 60,000, I will consider the Obama presidency a failure.

The problem is that with the hyperinflation, your prediction may be more accurate than not. Especially with $55/gallon gas.

Oh good news. Obama is talking about doubling the TARP fund.

Thats right DOUBLING it.

In order to bail out all of the JUNK PAPER, like leveraged derivatives, that the government is trying to keep from destroying the banking system, the TARP bailout would have to be doubled 6 times. Thats not multiplying 6 times to $6 trillion dollars, that’s doubling 6 times to $64 trillion. One estimate that I read of leveraged debt worldwide amounts to ~$650 trillion.
