Bush's presidency was a string of calamities and "strategically" bad decisions that has really tested the boundaries of our Democracy. McCain hasn't even started a potential presidency and he has already shown in handling his campaign what the next 4 years would be like... just more of the Same.

So . . . where's Palin planning on fixing America's finances?
$700 billion of our treasury going to bail out bankers and investors? I am against it. Job growth and employment will flourish when we get rid of them from the top down.
Eli Lily will finally reveal how much it bribed-er "donated"-medical organizations. Arnie stops being a blowhard, and signs the budget. However you feel about China, let's hope the way they screwed up their milk doesn't apply to their space program. CT. Dems are considering censuring
Holy Joe. Considering it's an appropriate motivational song at the moment, VH1 nominated Fight the Power as the best of 100 hip hop tunes.
and don't let fear destroy you. remember what FDR told us.
i've been running scared like leo dicaprio in "the departed" for damn well over 7 years now, knowing damn well i could get my head blown off if i pissed off the wrong guy.
but i still have to do the right thing for america. i already swore on my mother's grave, and there's no turning back.
i just read the transcript of her interview with couric at the cbs web site. pretty amazing stuff. she has no content at all in her head. just slogans and few of those. she promised katie she would try to find some examples of mcbush pushing for regulation of banks and such over the last twenty six years...sounds like something an 8th grader who didn't do her homework would day.

AMEN!!!
If Bush had really wanted to rescue the securities market, he could have taken one for the team, gone on TV tonight and said I quit. I'm buggering off back to Crawford. If y'all need any bills signed, just give 'em to Barney. He'll fix ya up. I guarantee the Dow would have jumped 1000 points on the opening bell.
But this wasn't a prediction, it was a threat. If the Fed doesn't get their money, they're going to pull the same shit as in 1907 and 1929. There WILL be a recession, a bad one. Not because there needs to be, but because they will make it so, as easily as they guided this decade's shakedown via the real estate bubble/bust. (No really, Greenspan never saw it coming...) And it will be a lesson to not defy the true rulers of the country again when they demand money. Enjoy.
Obama's right. We have to make this happen from the bottom up, but that does not require a $700 billion dollar bailout. Those at the top created the problem, get rid of them first.
Sep. 24: President Bush called for 'immediate action by Congress' to stave off a deeper economic crisis saying 'major sectors of America's financial sectors are at risk of shutting down.'

Let them be shut down. Investing is a risk. They took the risk, let them live with it or start jumping.

It's too damn late. 1st he's been saying that we're not in a recession. When clearly we were.
Now he's saying we're in a recession. FUBAR!

A friend of mine keeps blabbering about investing in gold. It is at about $818.00 an ounce right now but he predicts that it will jump up when the U.S. market crashes and burns. Silver is about $13.00 an ounce, itself a good investment too I would think.
Gold is the currency of Kings, Silver is the currency of free men, and Debt is the currency of slaves.

WHich is why we should call our reps and demand they don't give this twit 700 billion for this fake bailout package.
he's a fucking liar. this is the october surprise. to wrest the final dollars out of the US Gov't directly without have to go through the effort of actually running a business properly. all with the side benefit of crippling the government for at least a generation, destroying any possibility of domestic spending on the population and destroying the middle class, a dream which his grandfather, prescott, and proscott's ally, henry ford, actually undertook to accomplish via coup d'etat. smedley butler had it right. but he just didnt' know that wall street was the second best weapon of the rich against the poor.
Sept. 23: Addressing the U.N. General Assembly for the last time in office, President Bush calls for the world community to stand together against terrorism, and in support of freedom.
Every day I come to this blog hoping to see the McCain campaign/circus implode....
I was laughing to tears with a friend of mine when McCain chose Palin as veep... but that didn't seem to do it; in fact in this America, somehow that choice helped McCain.
I hope this erratic decision to suspend his campaign and obvious show of poor judgment and weakness finally buries this crook and his half-wit corrupt sidekick.

Yup. How much of this money is going into pappy Bush's pockets with the connection between him, Carlyle, AIG and Merrill Lynch? One word: Spitzer and he got fucked.
I was researching the connection and it's appalling. We are getting screwed big time.

I visited Norway once, can I be ambassador to Norway? I've actually been to Russia, China, most countries in Europe and parts of Asia and Africa. Hell, I could be the ambassador to the UN. Of course I actually know where those countries and continents are so I'm probably over-qualified. Seriously, I think Edvard Munch would be shrieking if he knew this embarrassment was being offered up to the world as a head of state.
I loved the Letterman bit tonight when he took McSame to the verbal woodshed for not even having his "second string quarterback" come in for the interview. What, is Caribou Barbie going to the Senate to pass legislation? Or maybe she'll just threaten to shoot a few "librul wolf-loving abortionist" to get them in line with the program.
First make the officers of the failed companies surrender their ill-gotten gains to the American people.
Then give the home owners a way to acquire debt relief and renegotiated mortgages.
Let the full FBI investigations into the crimes of the predatory lenders and financial instutions be made public.
Next pass meaningul reforms on the financial and mortgage industry.
When all of that is done then we can talk about saving the sorry excuse that is Wall Street.

they had that three-page outline ready for three months. so you know it's just timing.
This is incredible. I'm watching the Palin / Couric interview again, and this woman has just been trained to spit out these memorized answers to anticipated questions LIKE A PARROT! (Beautiful plumage on the Norwegian Blue.)
Couric asked her two questions about Rick Davis, and she spat out the same answer almost VERBATIM! People don't do that by accident. They've been coaching her around the clock with a set of flash cards and a couple of boxes of SALTINES.
Palin: “My understanding is Rick Davis recused himself from the dealings in that firm, I don’t know how long, a year or two ago, and that he’s not benefiting from that and, you know, I would hope that that’s the case.”
Couric: “But still has a stake in the company, so isn’t that a conflict of interest?”
Palin: “Again, my understanding is that he recused himself from the dealings with Freddy and Fanny, any lobbying efforts on his part there, and I would hope that that’s the case…”

Come on down, shugah, we'll eat dandelion stew every day and like it. Maybe we can eat the grass next time it's mowed as a bonus.
saw her on the curric interview, palin
is definitely a low educated moron.
she does not recognize what a question is
less being asked the same question and then
having an answer that states she will look for
some answers and get back to curric.
this woman could not keep her own daughter
from getting pregnant with her abstinence only
home schooling. why would we trust her

Plain wasn't even his decision! can you see him as president, pouting and huffing and lying and telling the world to stop so he can get his talking points together?
Why not fit Palin with a mic in her ear? It worked with Bush. She wears glasses, it would be easy to put a microphone in the earpiece.
We were talking the other night about her always wearing her hair up in some fashion and if she has it down during the debates, she will have an earpiece.

I read that earlier today. Nice..who cares, it's only a few thou from every living person in America into their fucking pockets.
and no domestic budget for years.
And domestic spending is the only thing that will get us out of this. Roads, bridges, real work with real living wages. Gov't is going to have to invest in green energy to start jobs. The government is going to have to do something...with no credit, business cannot expand or start.
this "bailout plan" offered by barney frank is total bull$#!+, because it fails to address the fact that the entire wall st. fiasco was deliberately orchestrated by an international fascist banking cartel, and that the paulson "rescue plan" was deliberately preposterous, so that when our "dem" heroes offered up their alternative, the robber barons could walk away with what they actually were shooting for.
and...

should all be notified that if these bankers are found guilty of economic terrorism against the united states of america, and it is proven that these senators knowingly abetted terrorists, they TOO can be tried for treason.

What's her excuse besides being dumb as a door knob?
you know the deal....this is a continuation of the shield
to protect her. if mccain is in washington palin should
be out their campaigning....she can't hack it.
What's her excuse besides being dumb as a door knob?
She has too. There is no way they will allow her to be out on the road by herself.
You know what is bugging me are more stories hinting at martial law getting imposed here in the US. Not sure what army they would use since most of it is in Iraq but I sickens me to see the stories of that and civil unrest. What the hell?
These lyrics seem to ring true at this moment, for me at least.
"In this vast network of sharks and minnows,
Where the minnows outnumber the sharks a million to one,
Why is it that we have yet to converge?
To take on the upper hand?
Why have we been so scared?
Well not today. not anymore. this is us growing up.
Still young, but no longer impressionable.
We have come to pillage.
We have come to burn.
We have come to incite the riot.
We have come to take it over!"

I'm not one to talk about what ifs.OK maybe I do from time to time. But not often.
There was a story out in the Army times about a certain Inf Division. Being trained for civil unrest.
I find this very weird. That and the admin knowing months in advance of this economic crisis.
I don't know what to think of it .to be honest with you. But Boosh has proven himself to be (how should I say this) Underhanded.
when the dust settles after this international fiasco, i vote we send lord rotten-child off to the same island prison napoleon died in, before having his d!ck cut off and sold on the black market.
I noticed that the other day. Many...more than there were at the RNC. Money brings out the greed in everyone.
If by "many" you mean the same three people invited on EVERY discussion panel, yes I've noticed that. (There would be four, but it's been slim pickings ever since Clarence Thomas got appointed to the Supreme Court.) It's basically the same principle of being one of the only three scientists in the world that believe global warming is a myth. Even if you don't believe it, it pays to say you do. You may lose your dignity, but you'll NEVER want for employment.

The thing that gives me the screaming heebie-jeebies is the NSPD 51. From the Whitehouse's own web site
Read down a bit to section 2b:
(b) "Catastrophic Emergency" means any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy , or government functions;
And then read what they can do in response to this to maintain "Continuity of Government" in section 4
(4) Continuity requirements shall be incorporated into daily operations of all executive departments (note that none of the Democratic legislatures are in day to day control) and agencies. As a result of the asymmetric threat environment, adequate warning of potential emergencies that could pose a significant risk to the homeland might not be available, and therefore all continuity planning shall be based on the assumption that no such warning will be received. Emphasis will be placed upon geographic dispersion of leadership, staff, and infrastructure in order to increase survivability and maintain uninterrupted Government Functions. Risk management principles shall be applied to ensure that appropriate operational readiness decisions are based on the probability of an attack or other incident and its consequences.
Again in section 5g for:
(g) Protecting and stabilizing the Nation's economy and ensuring public confidence in its financial systems;
(6) The President shall lead the activities of the Federal Government for ensuring constitutional government. In order to advise and assist the President in that function, the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism (APHS/CT) is hereby designated as the National Continuity Coordinator. The National Continuity Coordinator, in coordination with the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (APNSA), without exercising directive authority, shall coordinate the development and implementation of continuity policy for executive departments and agencies. The Continuity Policy Coordination Committee (CPCC), chaired by a Senior Director from the Homeland Security Council staff, designated by the National Continuity Coordinator, shall be the main day-to-day forum for such policy coordination.
You can read the whole thing yourself. This was initiated some time back and is fully in place if deemed necessary by guess who? That's right -- Chimpy!
Most presidents in the last 50 years have had a plan like this but as far as I know, no president has ever seen fit to include "financial turmoil" as a trigger mechanism. This is supposed to be reserved for things like Russian nukes or Yellowstone doing it's once-in-a-million-years pyrotechnic show.
And the plan has no specific termination clause. There are called out "annual reviews" from the various heads of the departments that will be running things. So this plan is designed for long-term marshal law.
94% of the American People do not want a Wall St. bailout. Cheney tries to gain support from fellow Repugs and is told to go fuck himself. McCain and Palin are going down in flames. Obama is summoned by Bush for closed door meeting. Me thinks the neocons are getting antsy. Now is the time to wonder what they are going to do next.

why does john dimitri negroponte seem to HATE america?
sure, he talks a good talk, but when the chips are down, he apparently can't be bothered to get off his fat @$$ from watching HBO in bed with his wife to lend "old glory" a hand.

You know what is bugging me are more stories hinting at martial law getting imposed here in the US. Not sure what army they would use since most of it is in Iraq but I sickens me to see the stories of that and civil unrest. What the hell?

So when Bush declares marshall law in October, I suppose he will close the banks and shut down the internet?
One Army Division cannot control much unless the assignment would be to secure Washington........ I don't believe that I just said that......I hope that I am waaaay off the mark.
McCain is old, tired and confused. He has to save his lobbyist advisers from themselves.
There are no "time outs" for middle class Americans who have no job, no home, no health, and no health care.
Satellite images no doubt show a fleet of shredder trucks rolling round the clock between Cheney's bunker and the nearest paper pulping plant.
Meanwhile a secretive offshore holding company has purchased a series of remote islands, outside US extradition power, and begun outfitting them with secure compounds patrolled by Blackwater guards. Price tag: $700 billion.

Debate Commission: No Empty Chair at Upcoming Debate
Bush's presidency was a string of calamities and "strategically" bad decisions that has really tested the boundaries of our Democracy. McCain hasn't even started a potential presidency and he has already shown in handling his campaign what the next 4 years would be like... just more of the Same.
She scares me. Let her debate Obama if McCain doesn't want to show up.
LMAO.. That ain't happening...
Peroid... Relax and laugh about it.
Her economic experience includes balancing an Alaskan state budget using
- Taxes paid by the lower-48 on oil pumped out of Alaska
- Pork to build Alaskan projects, that could have been paid by taxes paid by Alaskans, but instead were paid by PORK paid by taxpayers in the lower-48.
So . . . where's Palin planning on fixing America's finances?
Palin Plays Presidential. Hugs to foreign presidents okie dokie. (I swear this is not satire!)
Palin is a fundamentalist nutjob who associates with not just witch-hunters, but violent, radical extremists.
$700 billion of our treasury going to bail out bankers and investors? I am against it. Job growth and employment will flourish when we get rid of them from the top down.
Eli Lily will finally reveal how much it bribed-er "donated"-medical organizations. Arnie stops being a blowhard, and signs the budget. However you feel about China, let's hope the way they screwed up their milk doesn't apply to their space program. CT. Dems are considering censuring
Holy Joe. Considering it's an appropriate motivational song at the moment, VH1 nominated Fight the Power as the best of 100 hip hop tunes.
keep up the good work, team obama.
and don't let fear destroy you. remember what FDR told us.
i've been running scared like leo dicaprio in "the departed" for damn well over 7 years now, knowing damn well i could get my head blown off if i pissed off the wrong guy.
but i still have to do the right thing for america. i already swore on my mother's grave, and there's no turning back.
If you missed it, Letterman SKEWERS McCain on pulling out of campaigning.
Army Times reports that soldiers currently in Iraq are being brought home to ensure that there are no problems on American streets. Got Martial Law?
i just read the transcript of her interview with couric at the cbs web site. pretty amazing stuff. she has no content at all in her head. just slogans and few of those. she promised katie she would try to find some examples of mcbush pushing for regulation of banks and such over the last twenty six years...sounds like something an 8th grader who didn't do her homework would day.

If Bush had really wanted to rescue the securities market, he could have taken one for the team, gone on TV tonight and said I quit. I'm buggering off back to Crawford. If y'all need any bills signed, just give 'em to Barney. He'll fix ya up. I guarantee the Dow would have jumped 1000 points on the opening bell.
Great speech....yawn.
But this wasn't a prediction, it was a threat. If the Fed doesn't get their money, they're going to pull the same shit as in 1907 and 1929. There WILL be a recession, a bad one. Not because there needs to be, but because they will make it so, as easily as they guided this decade's shakedown via the real estate bubble/bust. (No really, Greenspan never saw it coming...) And it will be a lesson to not defy the true rulers of the country again when they demand money. Enjoy.

This is a great opportunity for Obama to debate someone smarter than McCain. Paging Mr. Peanut.

fool us twice, shame on who?
Obama's right. We have to make this happen from the bottom up, but that does not require a $700 billion dollar bailout. Those at the top created the problem, get rid of them first.
I don't know why everyone is complaining about 700 billion dollars. It is the same amount that the U.S. spends on the military every year.
I challenge you to keep a straight face.

Lets put it this way Ron, I don't believe a word that imbecile says.
A friend of mine keeps blabbering about investing in gold. It is at about $818.00 an ounce right now but he predicts that it will jump up when the U.S. market crashes and burns. Silver is about $13.00 an ounce, itself a good investment too I would think.
Gold is the currency of Kings, Silver is the currency of free men, and Debt is the currency of slaves.

he's a fucking liar. this is the october surprise. to wrest the final dollars out of the US Gov't directly without have to go through the effort of actually running a business properly. all with the side benefit of crippling the government for at least a generation, destroying any possibility of domestic spending on the population and destroying the middle class, a dream which his grandfather, prescott, and proscott's ally, henry ford, actually undertook to accomplish via coup d'etat. smedley butler had it right. but he just didnt' know that wall street was the second best weapon of the rich against the poor.

"The Scream," indeed.
What we truth-seekers and freedom-lovers have been doing since November of 2000, when Wanton Boy was installed.
I was in Hawaii at the time. Paradise spoiled -- for the moment, at least. I'll never forget watching the theft from my lanai, mai tai in hand.
You look at this and realize our leader is a laughing stock
Sept. 23: Addressing the U.N. General Assembly for the last time in office, President Bush calls for the world community to stand together against terrorism, and in support of freedom.
Every day I come to this blog hoping to see the McCain campaign/circus implode....
I was laughing to tears with a friend of mine when McCain chose Palin as veep... but that didn't seem to do it; in fact in this America, somehow that choice helped McCain.
I hope this erratic decision to suspend his campaign and obvious show of poor judgment and weakness finally buries this crook and his half-wit corrupt sidekick.

I visited Norway once, can I be ambassador to Norway? I've actually been to Russia, China, most countries in Europe and parts of Asia and Africa. Hell, I could be the ambassador to the UN. Of course I actually know where those countries and continents are so I'm probably over-qualified. Seriously, I think Edvard Munch would be shrieking if he knew this embarrassment was being offered up to the world as a head of state.
I loved the Letterman bit tonight when he took McSame to the verbal woodshed for not even having his "second string quarterback" come in for the interview. What, is Caribou Barbie going to the Senate to pass legislation? Or maybe she'll just threaten to shoot a few "librul wolf-loving abortionist" to get them in line with the program.
First make the officers of the failed companies surrender their ill-gotten gains to the American people.
Then give the home owners a way to acquire debt relief and renegotiated mortgages.
Let the full FBI investigations into the crimes of the predatory lenders and financial instutions be made public.

This is incredible. I'm watching the Palin / Couric interview again, and this woman has just been trained to spit out these memorized answers to anticipated questions LIKE A PARROT! (Beautiful plumage on the Norwegian Blue.)
Couric asked her two questions about Rick Davis, and she spat out the same answer almost VERBATIM! People don't do that by accident. They've been coaching her around the clock with a set of flash cards and a couple of boxes of SALTINES.
Palin: “My understanding is Rick Davis recused himself from the dealings in that firm, I don’t know how long, a year or two ago, and that he’s not benefiting from that and, you know, I would hope that that’s the case.”
Couric: “But still has a stake in the company, so isn’t that a conflict of interest?”
Palin: “Again, my understanding is that he recused himself from the dealings with Freddy and Fanny, any lobbying efforts on his part there, and I would hope that that’s the case…”
Couric: "Okay."
Palin: "F@ck you! Where's my CRACKER?"

Pericles @ 119:
Did you read my piece on that? I talked about the anatomy of deceit.
The thing that gives me the screaming heebie-jeebies is the NSPD 51. From the Whitehouse's own web site
Read down a bit to section 2b:
(b) "Catastrophic Emergency" means any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy , or government functions;
And then read what they can do in response to this to maintain "Continuity of Government" in section 4
(4) Continuity requirements shall be incorporated into daily operations of all executive departments (note that none of the Democratic legislatures are in day to day control) and agencies. As a result of the asymmetric threat environment, adequate warning of potential emergencies that could pose a significant risk to the homeland might not be available, and therefore all continuity planning shall be based on the assumption that no such warning will be received. Emphasis will be placed upon geographic dispersion of leadership, staff, and infrastructure in order to increase survivability and maintain uninterrupted Government Functions. Risk management principles shall be applied to ensure that appropriate operational readiness decisions are based on the probability of an attack or other incident and its consequences.
Again in section 5g for:
(g) Protecting and stabilizing the Nation's economy and ensuring public confidence in its financial systems;
(6) The President shall lead the activities of the Federal Government for ensuring constitutional government. In order to advise and assist the President in that function, the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism (APHS/CT) is hereby designated as the National Continuity Coordinator. The National Continuity Coordinator, in coordination with the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (APNSA), without exercising directive authority, shall coordinate the development and implementation of continuity policy for executive departments and agencies. The Continuity Policy Coordination Committee (CPCC), chaired by a Senior Director from the Homeland Security Council staff, designated by the National Continuity Coordinator, shall be the main day-to-day forum for such policy coordination.
You can read the whole thing yourself. This was initiated some time back and is fully in place if deemed necessary by guess who? That's right -- Chimpy!
Most presidents in the last 50 years have had a plan like this but as far as I know, no president has ever seen fit to include "financial turmoil" as a trigger mechanism. This is supposed to be reserved for things like Russian nukes or Yellowstone doing it's once-in-a-million-years pyrotechnic show.
And the plan has no specific termination clause. There are called out "annual reviews" from the various heads of the departments that will be running things. So this plan is designed for long-term marshal law.
94% of the American People do not want a Wall St. bailout. Cheney tries to gain support from fellow Repugs and is told to go fuck himself. McCain and Palin are going down in flames. Obama is summoned by Bush for closed door meeting. Me thinks the neocons are getting antsy. Now is the time to wonder what they are going to do next.

She's just buying time. The handlers have found that Sarah is not programmed enough yet. After all, they have their hands full with McCain, too. ;)

Damn,
First time trying to post a link on this site and I blew it.
Oh well, using these damn computers for 30+ years is no substitute for actual experience on this blog. Could the site monitor correct that rather horrific blunder? It is supposed to be a link to:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/05/20070509-12.html
Sorry about that...
Not to belabor the point, but that quote is wrong. What Palin actually said was:
Jeebus. Palin's accent, grammar, and especially those nasalized vowels and elongated "o"'s drive me up wall.
.
Never fails. Criticize someone else's grammar, and I'm bound to make a grammar error myself.
Sigh.

From what I read, not even CONGRESS knows the full boat of this disaster that is House Directive 51. They have tried to get it, but even those with top secret clearance were denied.
Steve E @ 125:
Do you have a link on Cheney. I keep seeing negative response to his trying to influence but no links.
why does john dimitri negroponte seem to HATE america?
sure, he talks a good talk, but when the chips are down, he apparently can't be bothered to get off his fat @$$ from watching HBO in bed with his wife to lend "old glory" a hand.
LAME.

Heh! Happens to all of us.
MsJoanne right you are, I didn't realize it wants me to put the anchor tags in myself. Here you are

Thanks, hon. :)

I was watching C-SPAN2 and # for the house BS with Bernanke and Paulson. Waste of time I might add.
Ron @ 121:
So when Bush declares marshall law in October, I suppose he will close the banks and shut down the internet?
One Army Division cannot control much unless the assignment would be to secure Washington........ I don't believe that I just said that......I hope that I am waaaay off the mark.

McCain is old, tired and confused. He has to save his lobbyist advisers from themselves.
There are no "time outs" for middle class Americans who have no job, no home, no health, and no health care.
I want that on a t-shirt!

That includes your children too, so if you a family of five, good luck.

Well, goodnight all.
May whatever plagues you be vanquished.
May whatever dreams you hope for be realized.
May John McCain... no, I can't turn negative after that.

Satellite images no doubt show a fleet of shredder trucks rolling round the clock between Cheney's bunker and the nearest paper pulping plant.
Meanwhile a secretive offshore holding company has purchased a series of remote islands, outside US extradition power, and begun outfitting them with secure compounds patrolled by Blackwater guards. Price tag: $700 billion.

Remember the internet that went down overseas due to, oops, someone cutting cables underseas? (I can't recall what country it was...two countries actually that were affected).
Remember the "spy satellite" we shot down because it was falling into the atmosphere (something that never happened before)?
AT&T and Verizon in the pocket of this admin (land and cell phones).
Phone and internet...buh bye.

Well you know that Bush is desperate if he is planning on hiding behind the Army that he has been screwing sideways for the past 8 years.
