“He has no confidence in himself.”
And given his record, he has no reason to have confidence in himself...
Sorry dead, I didn’t see your pic before I posted mine. You and I are on the same page........literally.
Notice how all of his advisers were Dems. This could be used as another example of how he fails to “reach across the isle”. Didn’t Bush have some Dems in his meeting where his plan was spawned? This should be an ad for McCain. The biggest gainers of Fannie and Freddie promising everything to everyone with no way of paying for it.
“I think that the only reason he didnt mention speaking to Jamie Gorelick is that she was not available behind the wall of separation...”
A MUST READ!

Hopefully Obama and his Dem cohorts will resort to form and try to load up on earmarks. This will give McCain and free shot at a “there you go again” moment.
I thought everyone had forgotten the master mind behind 9/11, the one who (along with Bill Clinton, one of the biggest fools in history) brought us Oklahoma City and it's ties to Iraq made so clear by Jayna Davis, and then Jayna in THE THIRD TERRORIST even ties OKC to TWA800 and 9/11.
It's a wonder that anyone remembers that Jamie Gorelick was a player in the biggest con job in history that parallels the Warren Commission. I thought Hillary would make Jamie a cabinet member, but, you may have a point, Hussein might bring Jamie Gorelick back as she is a bigger liar than any of the rest of them.
>Do these people bother to think about what they're saying?!!
Bingo! I continue to wait in vain for Obama to be asked this very question. Glad I'm not the only one.
Barney Frank knows a lot about small business. In addition to the banking committee, doesn’t he run a massage parlor of some sort?
I think he’s under the bus now?
I believe his “partner” was running a male prostitution service out of Frank’s taxpayer supplied apartment.

Anybody see Zero's name anywhere near this bill? I didn't think so either.
Why do you have a problem with us spending $700 Billion to bail out OUR ECONOMY when it was your plan to send $845 Billion of OUR MONEY to the UN for the Global Poverty Act (global welfare program) that you sponsored in the senate?
point
Lets destroy this jerk
He’s not looking for economic advise, he is looking for suggestions on how to blame the crisis on Bush And McCain and to make sure they all have their talking points in agreement.
Maybe you don’t know that Gorelick went on to become a legal eagle at Fannie Mae, where she took home more than $24 million.....
