Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis

"Conspicuous in their absence are any connections at all with any other group, moderate, or even mildly leftist. They are all radicals, firmly bedded in the anti-American, communist, socialist, radical leftist mesh."

[hiredhand]

The frighteningly dishonest Used Car Salesmen of D.C. told us last week that the world as we know it would come to an end if they didn't get their $700 billion. Here it is Monday morning, and we're all still vertical, and sucking air.

TYRANTS!

Jam their switchboards! Jam their e-mail systems! Run their fax machines out of paper! Tell them

NO BAILOUT!

[athelass]

If the people who are going to control the $700B really didn't notice a "crisis" of this size until they had only days to respond, then why would we trust them to spend our money responsibly to solve the problem now that they noticed it's an emergency?

Very well said, except Paulson DID know about this pending crisis. He testified last week he's been working on this bill for A YEAR!! They could have changed the accounting rules, ended mark to market, and repealed Sarbanes Oxley a long time ago. Clearly, everyone knew it wasn't working. And don't forget the illegals. They are now literally walking away from their homes and going back to Mexico, leaving entire neighborhoods empty. The so-called housing crisis already got $300 billion three months ago and it got worse! Jonathon Hoenig just told Fox and Friends this bill will turn a one year recession into a 10 year depression. Dear Lord, give the House Republicans the courage to vote no today, in Jesus' Name! This nation still is a force for Good. We're not going down now!

For $700B dollars I’d want the criminal enterprise known as the democrat party shut down, its leaders in prison including Frank and Schumer and all the rest of them. Anything less than that doesn’t work.

Leaders >Corrupt politicians, CEOs and bankers< plead for a yes today

[XR7]

Representative Barney Frank...stressed that "serious harm will come" if the measure is not approved.

That ought to be reason enough for every decent Republican to oppose this.

[sickoflibs]

This bill is poison for republicans. The Senate republicans look like a bunch of whores who are bailing their buddies out. Bush seems to be trying to save his dead legacy at the expense of congress (he needs McCain to win though.)

It gives Pelosi/Reid ammunition for more government power and to slaughter republicans on election day. Only house republicans took a principled stand, and no one will ever know if they cave now (I don’t blame the republican house leadership who got beat up all weekend.)

[henkster]

I’m not sure what date I will pick as the date of death of the Republic. It will either be today when this piece of crap passes, or the day Barack 0bama is sworn in as President. But make no mistake: if both events take place, the Republic is dead.

You can put the Constitution in a museum next to the Code of Hammurabi.

Long live the United Socialist People’s States of America!

[sport]

I would go with the date Obama is sworn in.

[Terry Mross]

I can’t figure out why the democrats are wanting this so bad and why the republicans are so dead set against it. It’s Bush bill so it should be just the opposite. It’s Bizarro World.

[Caipirabob]

LOL! That covers the congressional delegation from California...

[Carling]

Representative Barney Frank... stressed that “serious harm will come” if the measure is not approved.

Then the Dems should pass it already. They have the votes on their side, and Bush will sign it.

[57Chevy]

You folks out there should watch to see who voted Yes and who voted No.

Payback at the voting machine!!!! Let them know how you really feel!
