This meeting was suppose to demonstrate Obama’s leadership skills. I guess it does.

Should’ve read your comment first. Sorry to plagiarize.

It’s 3:30pm NY time. No historic socialist intrusion from the State into the private sector, and yet: the Dow is up 60 points, oil is down $1.20 a barrel, and bonds are up 9/32nds. All in all a remarkably stable and uneventful day.

What happened to Armageddon? Waiting for next week?

Hey, but you’re right about one thing, Terrye – our retarded voters seem to believe that turning to the great economist Barry O’Bambi is the safe way home. Unbelievable.

THIS is why you don’t jump at the first thing offered to you. Simple as that. If the market survived today, they’ll survive hammering out a decent good plan.

Needless to say,the Republican Leaders led by Boehner responded vigorously to the attack. The meeting was totally derailed by Obama.

One of the items the GOP is having issue with is the amount of money going to ACORN. You might recall ACORN is the vote-fraud promoting group sponsored by Obama.

This meeting was suppose to demonstrate Obama’s leadership skills. I guess it does. Please spread the word, as we need to get the truth out.

Agreeing to anything is their motto…”I don’t care what you do, just do something”. (If you don’t you are a right winger)

In the meantime I’m going to continue screaming fire in the movie theatre. I did it before–immigration bill–and I’ll do it again. Then I’ll claim the right wing conservatives lost the 2006 elections even though the right wing conservatives said the election was lost for one reason and one reason only–drunken spending by the repub congress. How’s your bridge doing?

But nooo, would they listen, do they even listen today, No. Lets spend 700 billion without checking or asking, funding ACORN and LaRaza along the way even while McCain himself admits the 2006 election was lost because moderate repubs spent just like dems. Welcome to Terrye’s world, a shill for everything and anything that a repub/dem government official tells her.

Put a cork in it and be happy that calmer heads are prevailing, a result of which a good bill might emerge.

And as to your convoluted memory about the immigration bill my hardliner friends and I did win. The bill was defeated and Border enforcement first is the majority position of the American people including McCain. Meanwhile the cheap smears you threw about here and at other sites won’t be forgotten. When you started with it again last night I was forced to type. Prior to that all my posts were about calming people down and discussing in some great detail the nuances of how the markets trade.

I leave screaming in theatres to people like you.

Hopefully, we at least get ONE of these.

What you can’t allow is the Dems to get the Repubs. on this bad bailout plan and still lose the election cause the MSM/Dems are able to point at McCain for perceived meddling.

Do the plan right, thereby convincing Repubs. to sign on (even though Dems can pass it without Repubs.) look like a leader, jet out for the debate and quickly back to Washington to continue working.

The ACORN shit should NOT be in any bailout. Over my dead body.

Has Obama said yet if he’s debating the moron tonight? I think if the moron doesn’t show up, it will be the end of his campaign.

My money says McCain is going to show so, no, Obama won’t be debating himself. Of course, he could debate Biden… they seem to be in disagreement on a few things…

That was the catalyst that started it all! Since the days of Carter, the liberal’s crusade to redistribute wealth and social engineering has caused brain drain and economic collapse

I agree to a certain extent with you here Terrye. As a dyed in the wool conservative and strong opponent of the liberal view, I whole heartedly agree….none of those in government or the narrow minded punditry deserve our unquestioning loyalty. From what I’m seeing, the two sides of the political coin, the main street variety, are NOT in that big of a disagreement on what we want to see happen here.

In a nutshell, we want a big shakeup in business as usual with the pols and CEO’s taking the biggest brunt of the pain and we want protection and more of a cushion for the taxpayer if we are expected to pay for this. That is why I am against what President Bush endorses and FOR the House Republican plan. Their plan represents the voice of the constituency, or at least closer to that than the Paulson plan.

Does anyone like this:
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=080926123140.jvg3mysz&show_article=1&lst=1

the CEO of bankrupt Lehman Brothers, Richard Fuld, received total compensation of 71.9 million dollars in 2007, including stock, bonuses and other pay, according to a survey published by Forbes magazine.

Martin Sullivan, the chief executive of AIG, who left the insurance giant before it was rescued this month by the federal government, received 14 million dollars, a survey in USA Today said. He also quit with a severance package worth 47 million dollars.

Even punishment for those at the center of the chaos comes with a gold lining.

When the government took over collapsed mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, ousted bosses Daniel Mudd and Richard Syron were not allowed 12.59 million dollars worth in severance payments.

Yet they still got out the door with 9.43 million dollars in retirement benefits.

Public anger at such figures underlies skepticism about the entire government rescue.
