NO BAILOUT! Let them all eat their Maseratis. Is our elected, democratic government seriously going to pass legislation that is every socialist's dream? Guess they have to get it done now, since it doesn't appear like their buddy Obama is going to get elected after all... John McCain - you must stop this!

It's real simple. The Democrats want a 100 billion dollar stimulus and their judges with the ability to determine who can have their loan payments adjusted and who can't. It is called an opportunity, a Democrats reelection package in conjunction with a transition to socialism and they want to be in power when it happens. Vote for me and I will adjust your loans. Don't vote for me and you can count yourself among the poor. That is the contract.

before we trust obama with discussing our situation we must first find out if he is even qualified to do so, questions for obama: 1. WHERE WERE YOU BORN? 2. WERE YOU EVER ADOPTED BY YOU STEP-DAD IN INDONESIA? 3. WERE YOU EVER AN INDONESIAN CITIZEN? 4. WAS YOUR NAME EVER BARRY SOETORO? 5. WAS YOUR NAME EVER BARRY DURHAM? 6. DID YOU EVER CHANGE YOUR NAME BACK TO BARRY HUSSEIN OBAMA? 7. HAS YOUR REAL NAME EVER BEEN BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA OR DID YOU SIMPLY TAKE THE NAME FOR YOUR DAD’S SAKE? 8. DID YOU TRAVEL TO PAKISTAN IN 1981 ON AN INDONESIAN PASSPORT? 9. HOW WILL YOU ANSWER THE LAWSUIT AGAINST YOU THAT REQUIRES AN ANSWER BY SEPTEMBER 29TH. 10. WHY DID YOU WAIT UNTIL DRAGGED INTO COURT TO PRODUCE THE HARD COPY OF YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE? WHY DIDNT YOU PUT THIS TO BED A LONG TIME AGO BY SIMPLY PRODUCING THE HARD COPY. DONT U KNOW THAT AUTHENCITY CANNOT BE DETERMINED BY AN INTERNET PICTURE? ...........and where is the full report of your medical records? all we have is a summary from your doctor. this is not good enough and does not show your past treatments.....what has happened with you in recent years and if you are addicted to anything. whethere u are being treated for anything. what you are susceptile to in the future. right now obama has more memory problems than McCain's almost-100-year-old mother.

What's the rush? 42 days before the elections and the Democrats have Bush/Cox/Paulson/McCain by the balls. Just like the invasion of Iraq, hubris & arrogance explains why they were so stupid as to allow this to fester and get out of control. Don't whine and blame the Democrats, the blame lies squarely on those whose trust was squandered and wasted. So what's the rush? Let's go to committee, let's do some studies and have hearings, let's debate this for the next 42 days -- It's of their own doing that they allowed themselves to be in this situation.... let the markets collapse ......and say hello to President Obama on January 20th

squirm Republicans! squirm! then cry... - Stocks in Europe and Asia dropped, led by financial companies and commodity producers, on concern the Bush/Cox/Paulson's plan to have US Taxpayers buy $1Trillion of bank assets won't prevent a global recession. - US index futures also dramatically declined this morning - the dollar is dropping to record lows - The US electorate is rightfully blaiming the Republicans for this recession ......the McCain-Palin 08 campaign has collapsed

christopher dodd and barack obama re the last two people to help out in this crisis. DODD and OBAMA'S bottom line depends on these very companies from which they benefited. THE NERVE OF THESE TWO TO HAVE ANYTHING PERIOD TO SAY IN THIS SITUATION...IT STINKS!

this crisis is the RESULT OF THE OBAMA, DODD brand. keep them outta there or they will only decide policies that kee the money coming right into their personal pockets. who are they fooling? not me for sure. WE CANNOT AFFORD AN OBAMA FIRST TERM. the man has no proven record of ever facing and rising above a crisis. AT LEAST PALIN can say she showed a profit by jumping into a financial crisis in her state and she survived. the money she saved translated directly to cash into the pockets of the citizens of Alaska. what has obama done? what company has he ran? what business situation has he managed? what has he turned around advantegeously?

Lordy...Lordy...Lordy....what have we here.... Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's $1 Trillion proposal to stabilize the banking system will push the national debt to the highest level since 1954, which threatens the erosion of foreign appetite for US bonds. We are just days if not hours from a full blown recession. Iraq cost the US taxpayer $1.2 Trillion and now this -- which helps explain why early voting in several states today is heavily trending towards Obama. This morning at 9:30 am, the Bush Admin will be on its knees before a Democratic Congress begging that it lift the legal ceiling on the federal debt to a record $11.3 trillion from the current $10.6 trillion. " PAHleeeezzze.... Senate Banking Committee....sniff...have mercy on us.....sniff..... " heh heh heh

psygone - I'll tell you what we have here. What we have is a Democratic Congress that is full of the people that caused this mess with their foray into socialized housing. Now as usual it is up to Republicans to pull our arses out of the fire. So thank a Democrat for this whole mess. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122212948811465427.
