So turning the USA into a Socialist State is not enough for you to resign your membership in the Bushbot Club?
It certainly has, all 8 years Bush was in office, and he continued to promote the same policies that caused this mess and appoint the same Wall Street crowd from Goldman Sachs and City Bank who were the prime beneficiaries with their billion dollar bonuses to the his Council of Economic Advisors and Dept of Treasury. I name only two among many, Hank Paulson, Sec of Treasury and Josh Bolten, White House Chief of Staff both from Goldman Sachs. We used to worry about commies in the government, we better be worried about the leftist big government Keynesian's who have helped themselves to billions of dollars from Wall Street firms now being given sanctuary in the Bush Administration.

Might I suggest that your son should have bought CitiGroup (C). Look it up on a 5 day chart. Friday it dropped to $3.05, today I saw it at $6.09. That is a 100% gain. Yup double your money! What printing press company has done that recently?
And yet interest rates on U.S. Treasury bills have plummeted in recent months -- almost to ZERO. Take a look at this chart . . . these numbers are unbelievable:
I don’t want to bail out the auto industry but allowing them to go down will bring about a much greater disaster than the one they threatened us with if we didn’t bail out the banks.
The system? Kill the base for the system? I think the system must stop!

A rose by any other name...
it’s odd how all of the goldman sachs people,
competent or incompetent,
are moving onwards and upwards into the obamao regime,
robert rubin and 4 of his protogees.
but rubin et al were responsible for the mess.
They’re looking after their own. Some hump on the line at Ford isn’t in their club.
“So turning the USA into a Socialist State is not enough for you to resign your membership in the Bushbot Club?”
No, because he didn’t set out to turn us “into a Socialist State”. He’s had so much to deal with I don’t expect him to achieve Nirvana in eight years. He’s a realist, there’s probably no purist approach that would work at this stage in the game given the demonic twits on the Hill that fight his every step.
China.
What’s your problem with Gov. Palin?
Telling the Big 3 they had to come up with a viable business plan for a 25 billion dollar loan and then bailing out Citigroup " 'cuz it's too big to fail" really sticks in my craw.
Right now if The Texas Half-wit comes out in coiffed pompadour and opulent 18th century silk dress and unintelligibly drawled, "Let 'em eat cake," I won't even bat an eye. After his asinine policies, I'm ready to tell the GOP to go f*** itself for however little time it has left.
Post 1945 until now, there was a dedicated group who ran down Nazis who fled the mess they made. What I suggest is that perhaps Damocles, while in Washington, should have the sword put back over his head. 'Nuff said.
He didn't want to turn us into a socialist state, but through not having the brains to critically evaluate his policies and their effects, he has. In other words, like Jimmy Carter, he's muffed things up from personal ineptitude.
If any single person bears the Lion's share for crippling the conservative revolution, it's Bush.
*Standing ovation w/ golf clap* 10 pts. for picturesque speech.
does money have actual value anymore? or is this seemingly endless supply all we need to stay on top of the situation? what would happen if we get into real trouble?
I would love to have this made into a shirt!
