McCain was much more calm, reassuring, and measured in his response. He acknowledged the crisis, but didn’t feed into it like Obama. That’s what a leader does, as opposed to causing people to panic.

It’s illegal immigration! And I don’t see how Obama could be more “liberal” on that than Juan.

You really are a stupid excuse for a human being. I can almost see you now, typing on a keyboard in your bedroom while wearing a huge white helmet and drinking soup from a coffee thermos that your mom made for you that day. What’s your real name? Timmmmaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh?

This was pitch perfect delivery. The crowd was eating out of her hand. Yeah, she used some her old stump lines but she packaged them around so nicely, adding in homey details about family, sports and Colorado.

There were many lines in her speech about golden handshakes and CEO benefits that I don’t agree with but dammit, if I didn’t cheer for her every step of the way. And they say Barry was an orator but has he ever connected with people like this?

Yeah, Lehman Brothers went tits up this morning, and Merrill Lynch sold itself for fifty cents on the dollar to Bank of America, and AIG is next in line at Henry Paulsen’s door with its hand out and its leg……

MB4 you are laying down on the job. You are supposed to be provoking comments and keep the debate raging onward.

I know. AP will probably now dock my pay from 50 cents an hour to 25 cents an hour.

The fact that Obama is even more liberal than McCain on immigration does not seem to bother you at all.

It’s illegal immigration! And I don’t see how Obama could be more “liberal” on that than Juan.

Which kind of makes me think that the whole I am just trying to save America from the Mexicans shtick you are always going on about it is pure unadulterated crap.

Your thinking is uncoordinated.

And by the way, I never ever ever said anything about wanting anyone to die. And you know it.

Terrye on September 15, 2008 at 7:20 PM

Of course I do, but you missed that point too. But then you seem to miss a lot. Maybe if I block quote what you accused me of you can ruminate about it and grasp what my point was. Then again, maybe not.

MB4:

Ghoul.

Terrye on September 15, 2008 at 5:15 PM

MB4 is holding his breath in happy anticipation of a complete meltdown in the economy.

Terrye on September 15, 2008 at 6:05 PM

Just in case you need some help in understanding, which you probably will, a complete meltdown would likely cause the deaths of millions. If there was a complete meltdown that would mean the food supply system would meltdown, so you accused me of wanting the death of millions.

so I responded with –

So then [If I am "holding his breath in happy anticipation of a complete meltdown in the economy (which is something that would likely cause the deaths of millions) then I can by your method say] you are holding your breath in happy anticipation of Obama being assassinated.

MB4 on September 15, 2008 at 6:32 PM

Are you able to comprehend now? Apologize for accusing me of being a Ghoul and wanting the complete meltdown of the American economy, which would cause the deaths of million, or STFU. And the very least stop acting like you are some kind of victim.

Do stories on this:

The Mark Levin Show Sept. 15, 2008

MB4 you are laying down on the job. You are supposed to be provoking comments and keep the debate raging onward.

So that is a day that I remember, but most people would say that Reagan’s time was good in terms of economic growth.

Perspective.

Yeah, I know you hate Juan because he is a {gasp} amnesty shill….. so you are hoping against hope that Obama wins and he loses. The fact that Obama is even more liberal than McCain on immigration does not seem to bother you at all. Which kind of makes me think that the whole I am just trying to save America from the Mexicans shtick you are always going on about it is pure unadulterated crap.

And by the way, I never ever ever said anything about wanting anyone to die. And you know it.

MB4 on September 15, 2008 at 6:44 PM

If you really did move into Treasuries, I’ll give you credit for that. I’ll also presume that you are honest; following The Obama’s technique of pointing out something and then saying “I won’t bring that up.”

/it’s a zinger, feel free to take it personally if you prefer.

Brit Hume on Fox, with the two wise men and a babe, pointed out that this drop in stock market isn’t that bad in terms of historical percentage. I don’t yet accept the premise that it is a crisis; scary, yes. Crisis, not yet.

I would expect the market to continue down at the open tomorrow. What happens midday, and the rest of the week will tell the story.

What to do? God, I wish I knew.

You want to save me from my indecision? Can you?
Hold my hand. Oh, wait, you are the pessimist. What am I saying.

McCain and Palin both see it for what it is and have this BS in their gun sights.
Damiano on September 15, 2008 at 4:38 PM

Palin might. McCain doesn’t have a clue.

It’s time that Wall Street stop saying that investment gain is private yet investment failure is to be the public’s problem in it’s correction.

MNDavenotPC on September 15, 2008 at 6:48 PM

Seems to me that I send something similar to that on this or another thread. When their gambles win the want capitalism. When their gambles lose they want socialism.

You seem to have left out the part that I was responding to. Purely accidental of course and not to change the meaning.

MB4 on September 15, 2008 at 6:47 PM

I think your response speaks for itself…accusing someone of wishing for an assassination of a presidential candidate is the same as hoping for an economic meltdown?
Okay…that is your world.

And BTW, you left out the part that I was responding to…purely accidental of course and not to change the meaning, I’m sure.
See how stupid your argument is???

Or his hated McCain is out of the picture, whichever comes first.

wise_man on September 15, 2008 at 6:23 PM

I don’t hate McCain. I don’t want him to be President and drag the Republican party down and to the left. You seem to have great difficulty in understanding even the simplest of concepts.

right2bright on September 15, 2008 at 6:41 PM

You seem to have left out the part that I was responding to. Purely accidental of course and not to change the meaning.

What really makes me sick, personally is, I had the thought a year ago to move into bonds. I didn’t do it. My retirement fund would have been up 10 percent instead of down 20%. Story of my life. (I was worried about inflation.)

If only……

I got mostly all out of stocks and into T-bills and MM about a year ago.

So you want to make an attempt to explain why Lehman going into bankruptcy pushed the cost of crude oil down $11(USD) in the last three days? Gold? Copper? Commodities in general?

Because most folks think that we (we meaning the U.S. and much of the rest of the world) are either already in or about to go into a recession which will lower demand for those things.

Perhaps you’d rather explain why the Federal reserve was cutting interest rates in the face of rising commodity prices while mentioning ’systemic threats’ to the banking industry?

rockhauler on September 15, 2008 at 6:21 PM

They were trying to make money cheaper to keep us from going into a recession. Looks like it might not have worked so well.

Is that enough Q and A for you for a while?

So then you are holding your breath in happy anticipation of Obama being assassinated.

MB4 on September 15, 2008 at 6:32 PM

Wow, over into the deep end?
