'Change' for voters omits Bam
NY Post ^ | May 23, 2010 | Terry Keenan

Voters sent a strong message to President Obama this week that the change they now believe in doesn't have much to do with him whatsoever -- Americans will vote for change in 2010 by kicking the incumbents out, period.

But the message from the polling places in the four states with special primaries on Tuesday wasn't the main one the White House should have been listening to this week -- the message of the markets is far more important and it is signaling tough times ahead for Democrats come November. David Axelrod, listen up.

Indeed, the markets are flashing big danger signs for the economy in the months to come. It's a sea change from just last month. Back then, the green shoots were sprouting and stocks were stable, with the Dow resting comfortably near 11,000 and the president's approval ratings notching back up to the 50 percent mark.

Once the ‘Rats get all the illegals registered it’ll be smooth sailing for them.

I don’t recall 1994 reflecting worries about a recession or rising interest rates. There was much worry about the direction clinton was sailing.

And yet the ship was painted “to hell” & they still didn’t realize until the flames were licking the boat.

I remember most the anxiety turning into near panic that Clinton and the SocialistsDemocrats were getting ready to do a real gun confiscation. They were certainly talking about it- putting feelers out to the press and such. That was the reason for the proliferation of militia orgs and the prices of used guns shot straight up while many types of new guns were unavailable because the manufacturers couldn't keep up. By September there was a real fear. The day after the election it all evaporated and used gun prices fell way back.

I wish some talking heads would start talking up the necessity of taking all the guns away again. That would seal the electoral fate of the Democrats again. You know if they don't lose seats or only a few they will think they can do it.

I read something a couple hours ago describing a Fed insider saying the banks are only going to “hold” until November. After that, look out.

Who knows if it’s true? But this bunch trying to keep the banking system together with duct tape, glue, and toothpicks in advance of the election wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

I don’t think there is much appetite in Congress for immigration reform at this time. We need to deport or imprison ALL illegal aliens, secure the border and SHOOT anyone who tries to recross illegally.

You have a link for that? I would like to read it.

There is something really fishy with the banks and Walstreet right now.

If this is what happens, then blame Obama. These idiots have been blaming only the president for years (when it comes to a Republican president). Time for Obama’s stimulus plan to take the blame, even though this economic situation goes far beyond one president. Doesn’t matter though, Obama said he’d fix it and didn’t

“It should interest you to know that my Intel source inside the Fed says absolutely no later than November the banking system should implode. Presently 75% of banks have problems and that the top 5 banks will take over all the others in a general nationalization. There is tremendous fear and uneasiness in the banking world.”

This would be about paragraph 14 or so of this piece:

He’s an old-timer, prolly in his 70’s or so. Been around forever and seen every trick in the book. He only publishes on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
