“I balk at having tghe President going ton TV saying the economy is melting down.”

Talking down the economy.

Another scare tactic. Typical Bush.

Another question ...

On FNC Brit and Mort discussed getting mediocre management if exec comps are reduced. Are they saying Raines and Gorelick were superior management?

The markets here in Asia just opened 15 minutes ago - it is going to get ugly.

I find it ironic that the markets are unwilling to make loans and purchase securities based what is fundamentally a lack of trust. But we as taxpayers are supposed to make a greater leap of faith that we’ll eventually be paid back under this bailout scam.

Unbelievable.

I’m not watching it either. The last thing I want to hear is Bush telling me I’ve got to come up with even more money to pay for another government fiasco, without telling us EXACTLY who caused the problems.

If this bailout goes through, the Patriotic Americans (the ones who pay taxes, thanks Biden) should demand the FBI immediately start making arrests and I want LOOOOOOOONNNNHHHH prison sentences.

Yeah, I’ve thought the same for a long time. Cut my mortgage interest rate down to what the bandits got. GWB was the biggest mistake I ever made. His mouth tonight talked like that “stained shirt” ad.

“I can’t figure out why he did this.”

Why did he insinuate his base was racist and irreligious for questioning his Comprehensive Immigration Reform that he tried to ramrod through quickly?

Bush doesn’t care if it gets in the way of something he wants.

Paulson probably oversold Bush and Bush took the bait.

I knew there was a checkmate in McCain's suspension today--I just couldn't see where. . . . . and then Bush INVITES McCain and 0bama to Washington.

Friggin' brilliant!

“If you want the credit markets to dry up, the DOW at 3000,your 401k down to a third, unemployment 10% then do nothing...”

Your post is reminiscent of the fear tactics that are normally used to sell scams.
