... and we like it that way!
Walter'08!
We are so screwed.
Absolutely concur! Obama almost had me convinced to vote for McCain and then the zany maverick goes and reminds me of who he really is.
Of course you and ABC (in it's headline) conveniently ignore this part of McCain's comments.
Rah rah rah goes the McMoron supporters on FR!
Did you say something similar when Bush commented on a "drunken" Wall Street a few days ago? No seriously... did you?
What's sad is that republicans will saddle the right with this man's incompetent leadership for the sake of party power. I wouldn't take money to vote for McMoron.
Well, he is half right, congress is to blame for out-of-control spending.
Too bad his opinions on both matters will probably change before Nov. 7 based on whether or not he thinks he can get more votes.
Geez McLame gets stupider every day, I think.
And remember his proposal to give a ‘prize’ of a half billion $$$ to anyone who could invent a better fuel (or something like that)
He probably REALLY THINKS THE BUISNESS WORLD WORKS LIKE THAT (all those companies are now scrambling around trying to get “that prize” instead of oh, I dunno- DOING THEIR JOB)
I think the best thing we can get this election is a stalemate- Let Obamarama win (I WILL NOT be voting for any democrat like McLame) but with a Republican congress to block his every move
McLame ping.
McLame is a typical career politico maroon ..ok .. tired of dancing .. a real moron. Do any of these people have a 3rd grade education?
None of the congrescritters have the qualifications to be hired by me. I guess that is why they are where they are.
E pluribus e pathetique!!
When I sold my home in 2004, this is how it went down...I sold my home for almost double than what it was worth (we all knew that)...When I questioned how it would appraise that high, the realtor told me that it was his college friend who was the appraiser...the people who bought it got a stupid loan in order to live in the home they wanted to live in, not the one they could afford... The bank? They're left holding the bad loan...
Now, who is the villian in this scenario? I'm interested to see the comments.
"We could go out and ask people -- the smartest people in America, maybe somebody like Jack Welch or John Chambers or Meg Whitman, people like that -- and say, 'come and take over and do it for $1 a year.' They’d be willing to do that," McCain said.
Maybe you'd like to wipe my butt for a nickel?
Wall Street is not the villain. McCain should look in the mirror sometime. Wall Street is just protecting itself from the coming ravages. Gridlock is a good thing, no harm can be done.
I don't really see anyone on FR jumping up and down to vote for McCain. What I do see are people on FR who will cast their vote for McCain to keep the Communist/Marxist/America-hater Obama out of the White House.
Here, Fannie and Freddie are allowed by Congresspersons to lend far more than any bank or other lender would be allowed... and so his solution is to curtail the economy.
Someday he'll actually look to hold an elected representative accountable for their actions... but I won't hold my breath.
HA! I said a while ago McCain had it in for Wall Street but no one believed me.
And D.C. was just the innocent bystander? Sure, Johnny, whatever you say.
Each person has to make a choice. I will be voting for McCain, because I think Obama would be much worse for our country. Yes, I'd rather have someone else as the Republican nominee, but that's just not the way it is.
He can forget about my vote. I think he’s drunk on that illegal immigrant lettuce.
Like it or not, Wall Street gets up to some crazy stuff that affects us all (subpime loans, derivatives). More regulation is indeed warranted. If it was just themselves they were harming, I wouldn’t care.
sorry....McCain is correct in many ways and I speak from experience (I insured houses for the longest time)....
the banks were giving away mortgages and money to people who would usually not be approved for a credit card....
I would see people in the northeast who made 50K/$60K/$70K annually purchasing houses for $450K/$500K/$600K and they were receiving 100%-110% mortgages from banks for the purchases- it was sheer lunacy and the writing was on the wall for the coming implosion...
the borrowers have to take a hit to but these banks gave away money like they could care less without properly underwriting the risks...
