Soros is starting to remind me more and more of Dr.Mabuse

Actually he reminds me of Goldfinger.

DOJ and the SEC shoud launch a massive investigation of this guy, tie him up with subpoenas and court orders. Bush needs to understand that you have to fight your political enemies, not just watch them.

So why does Soros hate Bush so much? Is Bush an impediment to his money-making scheme? Or Does he envision a world where financiers are ultimate seat of power rather than politicians? More like having Yeltsin's everywhere, helplessly dependent on figures like Soros or Rubin.

Here’s the real worry: Could the master currency trader manipulate the financial markets to create a panic, collapsing the stock market or the U.S. dollar

Isn't this against the law? This guy seems to be a 'pump and dump' shyster.

He won't let him smoke pot.

Seven billion dollars is chicken feed compared to the overall financial markets.

International financier George Soros is worth $7 billion -- and he so desperately wants to oust George Bush from the White House, he says he would even give away his whole fortune to do so. Soros did not make this comment glibly, telling the Washington Post it would be a real consideration “if someone could guarantee” Bush’s defeat.

That is really a reckless thing for a public figure to say. It suggests that he would use his money in even nefarious ways to undermine an election (which I am sure he would, and in his statement he makes no differentiation between legal and illegal actions.)

(I am quite sure there are many democrat-controlled local election commissions and officials nationwide who could be bought. But for the amoral like Dems, if it's for their side, nothing is "right" or "wrong.")

nail on the head.

Now, where is 007 with his license to kill?

[TigerLikesRooster]

Maybe Republicans need another campaign slogan, "Kill Soros!"

[the invisib1e hand]

he probably will, and fail in the process.

Soros thinks he is God. He is in for a bit of a 'surprise' himself, I think.

[Just mythoughts]

Waiting until October is a bit risky, and I think that there is more than just this guy's possible acts in play.

Long hot summer of UNIONS on strike. These people are playing for regaining power and anything less will be considered a "miserable failure". Now something else must be considered, fitting hillary into the mix.

[HardStarboard]

>>>.... you have to fight your political enemies, not just watch them.<<<

Brilliant encapsulation of the problem with the Republicans - and, lately at least, Bush in particular!

[gg188]

"One BILLION dollars!"

[Mr. Mojo]

Actually he reminds me of Goldfinger.

Auric's plan of nuking Fort Knox to drive up the price of his own Au 10 times - he conservatively estimated - was a pretty good one. Thank God Bond was able to appeal to Pussy Galore's "maternal instincts."

[Preech1]

Kinda reminds me of Perot and his hatred for the Bush family that helped assure the election of Clinton in 92...can you say instant replay?

[Paul C. Jesup]

Now, where is 007 with his license to kill?

Hell, I'd settle for Flint as long as someone took care of this problem.

Exactly. You got that in a hole in one.

There is no evidence Soros is planning a financial attack on the U.S. markets. But with a bankroll of $7 billion and a passionate hatred of George Bush, Soros has many people worried.

What's $7B (how much of that is liquid?) compared to a day's normal transactions in the world market? Maybe you can corner one small segment of it, like what was tried in silver, but I can't see this making that big of a dent in the market as a whole.

One thing that could make for big waves is if China floats its currency and decides to invest less in US government debt.
