Rush In A Hurry -- Who Tried to Crash the US Economy to Elect Obama?
RushLimbaugh.com ^ | 02-10-09 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 02/10/2009 1:22:01 PM PST by GOP_Lady

On Today's Show...
 
Blockbuster! An electronic run on money market accounts nearly destroyed the US economy. Who was behind it, and was it aimed at helping Obama win? (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here)
 
Obama and Geithner are a team of con men. Obama aims to con the liberal base and the media. Geithner aims to con Wall Street. Neither can con us. (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here)
 
"Where is the damn saucer?  The Senate is supposed to be the saucer that cools the overheated stuff in the cup which comes from the House.  The Senate didn't slow anything down! They didn't get deliberative. Nobody knows what they've signed here, as is evidenced by national health care provisions being in the stimulus package." -Rush Limbaugh
Obama wants this Porkulus bill passed now, now, now, before anyone can read it. Why? Because left-wing items like nationalized health care (with rationing for the elderly) are hidden inside.
• Parodies: Daschle Health || Obama Recession (Voices by Paul Shanklin)
 
"There is an all-out war on achievement in this country -- on Wall Street, in the executive suites, in the heartland -- being conducted by Obama and the Democrat Party." --Rush Limbaugh
 
Americans at a town hall took their chance to speak to a President, and used it to beg for free stuff -- a kitchen, a salary, a new job. It was sad. (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here)

Two Americas watched the president's press conference. One America (led by the Drive-By Media) was dazzled by the supposed brilliance. The rest of us thought he sounded like Castro.
 
Why is Rush the defacto GOP head? Because he's the only one articulating conservatism in a party that thinks McCain-type moderation wins. Democrats love those kinds of Republicans.

“your “substantiation” turned out to be a headline from a Free Republic VANITY THREAD which was PULLED by the Admin. Moderator.”

You really DO require spoon feeding!

It was locked because it was a duplicate thread:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2169526/posts

original article:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-01-22/republicans-for-obama/full/

But hey! You already knew all this stuff. You were pinged to the original thread by Virginia Ridgerunner in post #61 on January 23.

Who are you trying to kid?

Yup, I knew it was bogus then and I busted you again today.

And using a headline from a thread pulled in favor of another equally misleading thread still doesn't constitute substantiation, bunky.

"Democratic Representative Kanjorski explains how the Federal Reserve told Congress members about a "tremendous draw-down of money market accounts in the United States, to the tune of $550 billion dollars." According to Kanjorski, this electronic transfer occurred over the period of an hour or two. And it gets worse. Kanjorski paraphrases the following disclosure by Bernanke and Paulson:

On Thursday (Sept 18), at 11am the Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw-down of money market accounts in the U.S., to the tune of $550 billion was being drawn out in the matter of an hour or two. The Treasury opened up its window to help and pumped a $105 billion in the system and quickly realized that they could not stem the tide. We were having an electronic run on the banks. They decided to close the operation, close down the money accounts and announce a guarantee of $250,000 per account so there wouldn't be further panic out there.

If they had not done that, their estimation is that by 2pm that afternoon, $5.5 trillion would have been drawn out of the money market system of the U.S., would have collapsed the entire economy of the U.S., and within 24 hours the world economy would have collapsed. It would have been the end of our economic system and our political system as we know it. "

“And using a headline from a thread pulled in favor of another equally misleading thread still doesn’t constitute substantiation, bunky.”

++++++++++++++++++++++

This is not for you. You are clearly wasting my time. This is for anyone else who might follow this thread.

The Palin handler or “Chaperone” in question Nicolle Wallace:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2008-10-28/a-q-and-a-with-nicolle-wallace/

Finger-pointing over Sarah Palin’s wardrobe fiasco now involves Nicolle Wallace:
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/10/sarah-palin-mcc.html

Nicolle Wallace’s statements in support of Obama:

“No one watching could miss the drama of this moment of challenge and self-examination for our nation—of seeing a man so well-suited to meet the expectations of the office he fills.... Obama deserves our thanks for letting Republicans root for him, as well....Two former senior aides to President George W. Bush said to me over the weekend, “I expect him [President Obama] to be there for eight years.” A former senior official of Bush’s re-election campaign predicted that he would contribute to Obama’s re-election effort. When I heard that, I said, “He hasn’t even been sworn in yet.” It didn’t matter. One former White House colleague who I ran into in a greenroom this weekend said, “I’m pleased with everything Obama’s done—it’s the press that’s driving me crazy.”... The test is whether the far left can stomach our support. It’s an open question: Will they recognize that Republican support only strengthens Obama, or are they too consumed with anger and hatred for the right to accept our support of this new president?...

Interesting that just when there was a lot of talk about “Drill Now,” The Dem. internal polls must have shown a big downturn this hit the fan! The holders of money China and the Middle East had to save their mo-si-a Odumbo!

I've never been big on conspiracy theories...

Nor I.

The crash was just too pat. It happened exactly at the right time...

Yep, that's what kills me about this. It just happened to hit a little more than a month prior to the election. Very deliberately, too. It's not like millions of people just up and decided one day to pull hundreds of billions out of the economy (or even $5+ trillion as the audio clip said).

Someone knows the who and the why. Maybe we little peons will never know.

Finger pointing, uncorroborated innuendo, disinformation promulgated by Obama operatives:

It is truly embarrasdsing to see bilge you swallow and regurgitate.

It’s possible. Probable is more like it.

Multi billionaire Geo. Soros has shorted the British pound already. He has enough horsepower to do it, trust me!

How else do you explain this “crisis?” On Sept. 18, 2008 SOMEONE pulled $550 BILLION out of money markets and scared the crap out of Bush. This guaranteed a win for Soros’ dumbacrat buttboy Obama!

Yea, nothing like chalking up her own words to, “uncorroborated innuendo, disinformation promulgated by Obama operatives”.

Ms. Wallace: “No one watching could miss the drama of this moment of challenge and self-examination for our nation—of seeing a man so well-suited to meet the expectations of the office he fills.”

Why? Did the 9/11 investigation point out the Democrats’ role in enabling the attack? I must have missed it.....

There was something deep inside it about a "wall" within the FBI created by then Clinton Administration Deputy Attorney General Jamie S. Gorelick

Sarah’s handler came out a week ago as an Obama supporter.

Got a link? Not that I doubt it, I just want details on the SOB, or DOB, as the case may be.

Cedric seems to have thin skin when the subject is McCain and his campaign.

The begathon for appliances reminded me of this old TV show.

I posted on another thread that Obama was the new host for Queen for a Day II.

Yes, the wall that prevented intelligence agencies from sharing information with each other.

Given the Fed’s increased scrutiny of money flows post 9/11, I find it difficult to believe the Govt hasn’t been able to get an idea as to who was behind what could easily be viewed as an act of war... foreign or domestic.
