Andrea Mitchell’s husband. What did you expect?
He is the same a$$hole that saw the housing bubble and easy credit, yet did nothing.
Coward and liberal whimp.
I thought Obama claims he is for the biggest tax cut. What an idiot. McCain IS going to cut spending, Obama isn’t.
Greenspan was advocating the reduction of the Federal Government - sure glad Barry jumped on that!
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Greenspan was part of the Bush years. We want change.
“Obama campaign, manages to get on base with under-handed softball lobbed to candidate”
But Obama also has said he was for tax cuts, EXCEPT for rich people. But he then said he wouldn’t raise taxes on the rich people if the economy was having trouble.
Further, Obama plans to SPEND all the money from his tax increase on the rich. So he’d drive up the deficits more than McCain.
Oh, and McCain has said he wants to find spending cuts to balance his tax cuts. He doesn’t get credit because he hasn’t specified the cuts.
It would be pretty cool to send all the money being spent on this election to the Treasury Dept. but the Congress would probably come up with something new to spend it on.
What the hell are they talking about. The Boom set to start in the stock market and taxing capitol gains?
One of Greenspan’s most famous quotes sums up Obama:
“Irrational exuberance”
Then we're going after matching grants for Chicago educational projects. (Oh, sorry about that, Mr. Ayers. Dig It!)
Cheers!
If I recall, in 2000 while campaigning, McCain said he would do a “weekend at Bernie’s” on Alan Greenspan if he died because he was keeping the economy solvent.
McCain is slowly learning that there are some people “across the aisle” whom you just can’t trust. Like Greenspan, liberal Democrats, the Hispanic caucus, and that the ones you can trust, like your conservative base, shouldn’t be dissed.
Maybe it’s too late for McCain to learn some life lessons.
The father of the housing and credit bubbles is a reliable source for advice on economics?
“questioned the affordability of broad new tax cuts.”
Obama has been touting his tax cuts for the middle class for months now. A recent reporter grilled the McCain campaign for “falsely” claiming Obama was going to raise taxes because Obama’s plan also calls for tax cuts.
Obama, like every Democrat since at least Clinton, will say and spin anything.
aka Mr. Andrea Mitchell.
The demoRATs still think that all of our money belongs to them.
He said the tax cuts cannot be afforded without spending cute....
and he’s right.
Are there any here so naive as to think there was no political calculation to Greenspan’s comments? He and his Lefty wife are a hit squad.
Actually i read somewhere that greenspan would be supporting mccain. The article conveniently doesn’t mention this point. I would like to see the context of this quote.
