The Reserve Fund in distress

USA Today

Is this one of the 401K managing funds, are we now seeing peoples pensions going bye bye !?

Barack showin his roppa dope skills. Lovely.

good advert, short sweet and to the point, something that people can understand easily.

Neil Cavuto had Rupert Murdoch on his show today. Guess who Murdoch blamed the Financial crisis on? Wait for it.......wait......for it......
Barney Frank!!!!!!!!!! These people are completely delusional.

Reminds of the Simpson's episode where Bart is living in a bubble. When he invites Lisa in, she holds her nose and exclaims, phew!
Bart quickly claims he didn't do it. That's a nice metaphor for the Republican Party.

Repugs too?

only those ones not in denial, which is most of them.
but anything and everything that causes them some sleepless nights is good.
Quack economics mixed with Republicanism always leads to ruin.

good ad.

and, what's with the advertisement on this site: "who's more likely to cheat?" i know they are just random ads, but it sometimes trips me up thinking i'm at a republican website or something.

It must be painful being a small town Repug at the moment, all their hard earned monies are being looted by fat cat Wall Streeters and swindlers, and thats just the DC Repugs.
How does the typical Repug connect their vanishing wealth with their adoration of their gods, who are smiling at them while sharpening sheep shears.

Lots of folks said that Obama wasn't going on offense strong enough... me included.

Then I saw six new ads that he has put out and have been airing in battle ground states since Tuesday and Obama is definitely giving as good as he gets... in fact better!

Not to be crude, but Obama didn't want to blow his wad too early in the process. I knew this would heat up after the conventions. I think Obama is playing everything just right.

While the GOP did what they did best for so long...lie, bullshit, all that...Obama is the little engine that could...and will.

It's precisely the kind of ad I've been wanting to see. It nails the hypocrisy and staggering incompetence of McIdiot.

Now I'd like to see an ad using McDope's own words against himself, showing how he has flip-flopped on an almost daily basis. Just how many John McCain's are there? One minute he says the economy is fundamentally strong then hours later the economy is fundamentally in crisis. One minute he's for more regulation but last week he was fundamentally a deregulator.

How about an ad featuring that stunning footage of him from last December shown on the Maddow show where he sat in silence struggling to answer a question on the sub-prime crisis? Is that the leadership America needs? McMoron is incompetent and out of touch.

WcCain IS out of his depth in the economic sphere, pretty much as are most people, the numbers are too big, the concepts extremely nonsense, shorts, fractional crap, its all micky mouse stuff, BS beyond belief.
Trouble is he has surround himself with the crooks that brought this carp down upon us.
So he deserves all the condemnation and ridicule that the public are heaping upon him.
Its as plain as the nose on his face, Sen. WcCain (R-POW 5.5) hasnt a clue.

nonsensical and crap not carp (cough)

We need to look at reality:

People who lost money are investors in the market. The average Joe.
The ones playing the market, those who sold short are the winners. Personally I wonder if there was not some kind of conspiracy - like a bunch of rich cats getting together and gang up on a few companies driving their share prices down. I heard that Sears actually had more shares selling short than were actually outstanding. That in itself should be a crime.

Taxpayers are losing in the short term - but only on paper. Remember the country is running huge deficits, and whatever properties the government/taxpayers acquire, the price of which will be added to the national debt - to be paid [maybe] by future generations, but there is the possibility that properties may actually increase in value, and if high enough, sometime in the future may create a profit for taxpayers, assuming they increase enough to pay for all the interest we have to pay into the national debt since their acquisition.

About fricken time, Obama!!! Daddy likes!! This is the sort of offensive and fight we need to see. Keep em coming!! You just earned another campaign donation from me!!

Anyone see/hear video of or go to Obama at UM in Coral Gables today?

I trust Obama to make the rich people drain our blood more slowly. Take the pressure off the little guy.

That's change I can believe in!

really...I'm not kidding, that would be change, sad to say.

Let's take it people. I can't take anymore of this shit.

09 is going to be the year of change, liberty equality, fraternity.
or at least the return of the rule of law and a decent America.
You can smell the Repug fear, its overpowering.

Now that is a good ad. Even the idiots that voted for Bush in 2004 should understand that message. The problem is if they understand it, they may be too scared to vote for a Democrat for President, especially when that Democrat is African American. I remember hearing Chuck Todd of NBC say that Obama had to poll higher than 48% because of the people who say they will vote for him, but actually won't because of his race.

This ad gets HALF-WAY THERE.

I wish the narrator would SNEAR a little. Each still shot of these DUNDERHEADS should tilt over backwards and SLAM-BANG on the floor with a sound effect and a PUFF of dust. Then, to close, you should use that shot of McSame kissing W in the ear. TRASH it up a little... and it would have some HUMOR... and be a hundred percent more memorable.

That's a really weak ad. It could have been a lot better. Is Obama saving up his best stuff for later?!

McCain on banking and health
OK, a correspondent directs me to John McCain’s article, Better Health Care at Lower Cost for Every American, in the Sept./Oct. issue of Contingencies, the magazine of the American Academy of Actuaries. You might want to be seated before reading this.
Here’s what McCain has to say about the wonders of market-based health reform:
Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.
So McCain, who now poses as the scourge of Wall Street, was praising financial deregulation like 10 seconds ago — and promising that if we marketize health care, it will perform as well as the financial industry!

The American public have four choices...

Republicans for more of the same and worse to come.
Nader Greens and a back to the stone age lifestyle at its most extreme.
Ron Paul for some very strange Libertarian utopia, prob more scarier than the Greens.
Or Obama/Biden and a known liberal style of Democratic government, JFK meets Carter meets Clinton.

A no brainer really.

Just now watching Billo.

What's with his leadin with immigration? Can't he defend the repugs on the economy?

Patriotism (war) and Immigration (fear of other peoples) the last refuge of scoundrels.
Thats their last ditch fear cards, they have nothing else left to scare people with.

I always picture Bill O'Reilly as a modern version of 'Lord Haw Haw'
theres something fundamental about him that suggests this to me.

I get the feeling he is in his second childhood.
The Culture Quiz
Patriots and Pinheads
His obsession with the 'ladies' frequent guests
His bragging about viewership. Like my peepee is bigger than yours.
The constant denigrating of everything un-O'Reilly
His frequent sex stories

McCain and the POW Cover-up

The "war hero" candidate buried information about POWs left behind in Vietnam
Sydney H. Schanberg, a journalist for nearly 50 years, has written extensively on foreign affairs--particularly Asia--and on domestic issues such as ethics, racial problems, government secrecy, corporate excesses and the weaknesses of the national media.

Good old Carly didn't just get canned from HP, she got canned for spying on board members. Talk about a total piece of shit. She fits right in with the Republican model of propriety.

she killed the Hp product, the CeoCon magic of transmuting profit and jobs into thin air. Don't blink or you'll miss it.

Nice! That is a good ad. Now hit McCain with Keating 5.

They forgot to mention the whole Keating 5 Scandal.

WOW! THE BEST!!!!!!

After Wall Street complained about excessive regulation, Bush fired normal republican Donaldson from SEC and replaced him with industry friendly and right wing extremist see-no-evil de-regulator and basic nut job Christopher Cox.

Bush, McCain, Palin. Dumb, Dumber, dumbest. We are watching a festival of twits.

I think that was another board member.

Carly was fired because she basically destroyed everything that Hewlett and Packard created. Both families still thread a lot of water in the HP board and canned her ass after a somewhat hostile re-take over.

great commercial. they need to keep spanking mcliar's ass on the economy DAILY, HOURLY, EVERY SECOND till the geezer's cheeks are a rosy, rosy red.

P.D. @ 10:

This ad has been playing in PA. for a week now. It's good. The balls McCain has claiming he will clean up the corruption because of lobbyists is being thrown in his face. The old white wrinkled brigade and a dash of a good looking white flunky female is being exposed for all to see. Add the fact he was all for privatizing Social Security, will spell doom. I hope the Average Joe dosn't buy McCain's bullshit. But my faith in my fellow Americans have hit an all time low.

Couple that sentiment with the liklihood that people will think that John McCain actually, really has some solution to solve problems and he'll deploy them once he's elected, heaven forbid (consider:"..I know how to catch him!"). What McCain will do is surround himself with the same incompetent people that Bush did or worse, the lobbyists he's currently surrounded by and in a matter of months totally ruin more than the economy. People not talking about the election are talking about the economy and its a lot of doom and gloom. The last thing we need is a leader with his head stuck in the past and I'm sorry to say, approaching the end of his life. That's harsh I know but with right-wing Governor of Alaska sitting as the VP, doing her job waiting in the wings if the elder Senator doesn't live to the end of his term, that must be considered. But it won't be! And then there's a headline on Yahoo this morning about Democrats who don't support Obama because of his race and disgruntled Clinton supporters, there's no wonder that Obama isn't leading in the polls by larger numbers. Obama is fresh, articulate, smart, calculating and everything that this country needs and all some people see is a liberal black man (and he's not that liberal). Think the economy is bad? This situation, the tunnel vision of the American public, is worse!

This one's better...

uh, ROBERT RUBIN is Obama's economic advisor. Same ilk as Sachs, Gramm, Greenspan, etc. RUBIN helped repeal Glass Steagal as well (as Clinton's economic advisor), and do not forget Bill Clinton signed off on it. Too bad Bill didn't listen to Robert Reich very often, if ever.

Just thought you should know... The GOP controlled the congress and the Act passed with a "veto proof" majority of Republicons. It made no difference whether Clinton signed it or not...

Repeal of the Act

See also Depository_Institutions_Deregulation_and_Monetary_Control_Act passed in 1980, the Garn-St._Germain_Depository_Institutions_Act deregulating the Savings and Loan industry in 1982, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act in 1999.

The bill that ultimately repealed the Act was introduced in the Senate by Phil Gramm (R-TX) and in the House of Representatives by James Leach (R-IA) in 1999. The bills were passed by a 54-44 vote along party lines with Republican support in the Senate[8] and by a 343-86 vote in the House of Representatives[9]. Nov 4, 1999: After passing both the Senate and House the bill was moved to a conference committee to work out the differences between the Senate and House versions. The final bill resolving the differences was passed in the Senate 90-8-1 and in the House: 362-57-15. This veto proof legislation was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on November 12, 1999.

I am so heartened with the way Obama has handled his campaign all the way down to the fund raising and finances. This really shows that he is ready to lead our country. When Palin came on the scene many panicked, me included, but Obama bided his time didn't attack, knew that she was a flash in the pan and people would tire of her quickly and that is happening, especially given her history and the troopergate issue in her home state. I am so looking forward to our new president Obama going to the white house and working for us the people. We the middle class have been battered under the current administration and it is happening as we speak with the bailouts with taxpayer money, the wealthy running off with everything leaving the many of us homeless and in poverty. bush has done more damage in 8 years than anyone pres in history.

Remember the S&L crisis in the late eighties? It was John McCain and Phil Gramm in lock-step then. This time it's John and Phil in lock-step again. Oh yeh it was Phil Gramm with the ENRON loophole too, just ask Phil's wife who sat on Enron's Board.Oh yeh it was Andrew McCain who sat on the board of Silver State Bank, as well as the holding company which owned it. Andrew resigned less than a month before the Feds took over Both. Andrew is also CFO of Cindy McCain's company. Anyone still trying to figure out who is FLEECING the American people?

Obama supports the bailouts. That is not change we can believe in.

Gotta keep the economy strong so people will keep going shopping.

And I sure as shit want to stop hearing so called "conservatives" and Republicans talk about free-market capitalism. The free-market, whatever sense of it really even existed before the past 14 days made it clear, is dead. They killed it. This is a planned economy with limited capitalist-like qualities.
