Really? He hired them?

Where'd you hear that?

Seriously, who told you something so stupid and wrong, and how is it that you were so stupid to believe it?

Obama can do nothing, he has no authority to do anything but rex, you go ahead and believe he does.

The crisis facing our nation is not going to be solved by our politicians, they will be solved by the will of the people.

Throwing money at this is like throwing money at our school system, it will not get better.

Let the cards play out and set policies that will prevent this from ever happening again....oops, we had this in place but those free market thinkers said it was not productive and bad policy.

How did our pensions get washed away? The same way these bank/financial institutions should be washed away, and look, those people without their stolen pensions are still kicking.

Imagine that.

Not His fault Not His responsibility. Please do try again.

Rex?

I'm waitin' for you to back that up.

I'll check in to your sorry-assed thread tomorrow.

Rex-
Maybe you can establish that "he hired the CEO's of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as advisers" and that "pork" was the reason that Republicans tanked the bailout deal all in one post. Hell, maybe if you try really hard you can also prove that humans walked with dinosaurs and that "91%" of the defaulted loans were by minorities.

At this point, I'm guesin' you can pull pretty much anything out of your ass.

Maybe I'll see you when you can defend what you type. Same to you, Rex.

adios

Who the hell are you guys talking too?

You clearly have no idea what your talking about.
Senator Obama was the only one who spoke up at the meeting for about 9 minutes called by the President last week while Senator McCain sat there like a bump on a log and didn't say a thing. You are clearly anti-Obama before you wrote this and are just looking for anything negative to say, trouble is you haven't got your facts correct.

Lay it out for us Rex.

If Bush had any credibility left he'd have been able to get the House GOP to pass this bill today.

He isn't a lame duck. He's a duck with no legs.

I gotta agree, Bush failed today.

And this is the first time I have ever said that, he should have done whatever it took bully and cajole this bill into passing.

Today, GW failed.

Bush can't help the GOP anymore, simply because the people don't trust him.

This fall has been in the works for years now and most normal people knew this but were just hoping it wasn't true.

When jobs disappear, wages decline and the only way to keep the market going is not thru savings and investing but by spending spending spending the people know there is a problem.

I wonder how our saving rate per capita is going to look after this quarter.

On this issue, Hussein is not the issue. He was selling crack during the beginning of this crisis.

Fmae and Fmac did not cause this and anyone who actually believes such folly is not worthy.

How are those pension funds?? Oops, they have been having this problem since bush took office but I suppose this isn't the same financial problem........right.

"the sooner the grown ups can get back to fixing the problems with the country."

Can you name one major economic issue where John McCain disagrees with George Bush?

The quicker we put this snake back under his rock the sooner the grown ups can get back to fixing the problems with the country.

You certainly sound like a grown up?!!

"Dems for the last week have been blaming republicans for this financial mess "

As well they should. This occurred under a Republican administration. And keep in mind the (Republican) Executive Branch hires the regulators and the (Republican) Department of Justice prosecutes wrongdoers.

Rex,

Do you actually believe after all your blah-ish posting and triteful say nothings that people would actually go to the sights you post.

Nothing but garbage links of drivel.

Why, did the democrats fight against and vote against legislation to better regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?

You mean fmae and fmac are the only institutions that needed regulation?

Are you really so daft?

"How are those pension funds?? "

Large pension funds, especially institutional pension funds, will have a broad range of investments, including both FMs.

As well they should. This occurred under a Republican administration. And keep in mind the (Republican) Executive Branch hires the regulators and the (Republican) Department of Justice prosecutes wrongdoers.

And their true honest moral and ethical colors are showing with the glare that is killing the nation.

"Why, did the democrats fight against and vote against legislation to better regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?"

They're almost as greedy as the Republicans.

"how was their decision to do this affected by the enormous contributions from these two companies?"

The same way it always works in Washington. Are you new to this?

Jail,

Just by reading your noxious posts of one sidedness that you video would be a waste of my time.

When you grow up enough to start balancing your posts with cognitive ideas that are not strictly hacking of party affiliation I might take you with more sincerity.

Isn't Dubya the CEO of America?? Isn't it His fault when things go wrong in America Financially speaking??

Larry

Isn't Dubya the CEO of America?? Isn't it His fault when things go wrong in America Financially speaking??

NO, Bernakkkkki is the CEO of America and only has to listen to bush boy, hence one of the many problems with our system.

Sweden went through an identical crisis in the 90's.

Something modeled on their plan is the way to go.

Here's where these right wing idiots got their talking points from:

That means they were unaware that they were being sold risky mortgages because the borrowers were unlikely be able to pay the money back.

I sit with my maw open wondering how you actually believe this.

Have you not been following my posts?

How are united's pensions doing? How is GM pensions doing? How is any corporate pension funds doing??? Are they under funded? How can that be? How come they are not being held into strict standards?

These all come from the same cup of tea but apparently it seems to escape your fine cognitive thought.

The last thing we need in Washington is another windbag, playing poseur in front of the cameras.

Obama's exactly where the country should want him, most of the time: as far away from Washington as possible, in front of a microphone at Podunk County Fair.

harsh words for Mr McRescueguy. I'm surprised he left washington, having promised to put Country first in this, the greatest crisis since WW2..
Then again,he may simply have forgotten about it...

harsh words for Mr McRescueguy.

At least it isn't above his paygrade. Which is why Obama has said he is not needed. Imagine the leader of the Dems saying nothing and punting to his imcompetent minions. The same ones who got us into this so called crisis.

This will be the motto of his entire presidency.

lame duck , That's not he going to duck !

Imagine the leader of the Dems saying nothing and punting to his imcompetent minions

Seems to me, right or wrongly, the leaders of the Dems in the House and Senate were doing their job. As were the Minority Leaders.

At least until McFail rode in on hios white horse for a photo op and lunch with lady Rothschild.

I guess he was just afraid he couldn't be kept uptodate by the latest in information technology-the Pony Express.

As opposed to sitting on his ass waiting for word? Wouldn't you think the next Pres would like to know what the fuck he is getting into Jan 09? Is Obama that naive to think those so called leaders know what to do to solve this crisis? They allowed the GSE bill to sit around the Senate while those same leaders were collecting money and influenced by Lobbyists agianst this legislation. Didn't they just admit last week they had no clue it was this bad? This is his answer to the problem?

Wouldn't it be a little bit presumptuous for Obama to be acting like he was already the President?

McCain rode in to save the day and his white knight posturing was promptly rendered impotent and foolish by members of his own party.

Obama seems to me to be acting appropriately to his roles as a senator from Illinois and as a Presidential candidate.

This bill was a Republican initiative that was rejected by two thirds of that party's legislators.

Neither Obama, nor any other Democrat, can be held responsible for the rank and file Republican members of the House deciding to abandon their leadership.

Obama is Present--just like his voting record for 7 years in the Illinois Senate.

Oh, wow!
