Can Taxpayers afford another Bailout?...................


I am not an expert in matters relating to finance and investing in the stock market, but i really don't understand why U.S tax payers have to bailout wall street and these huge banks who have brought this present crisis upon themselves.
Wall street and these banks have been greedy, and practically stealing from the American people with their sub prime loans and other bad investments. I feel no pity for them or their big fat executives who get richer and fatter of the American people. I see no reason whatsoever to leave my daughter bankrupt and billions of dollars in debt. let these people swallow their own pills.

Let wallstreet lick its own backside, the American people just cannot afford anymore bailout...

If the experts are right, the nation now risks great financial hardship, because there is no one to stand up and explain the situation. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson warned Monday afternoon that car loans and student loans were likely to tighten. Other economists have warned of the possibility of widespread corporate failures and unemployment, if the short-term credit markets freeze up. Bank failures, or mergers, are likely to continue. The taxpayer costs of federal insurance on deposits could increase. so either way we are all fucked big time.
I would much rather Congress focus on helping the millions of Americans who now face dire financial hardship, and the countless others who are about to lose their home because of these fools.

Bush address to the nation on the nation's finacial crisis...

Speaking in the most scary and dire terms, President Bush on Wednesday warned Americans and lawmakers reluctant to pass a historic financial rescue plan that failing to act fast risks wiping out retirement savings, increasing foreclosure rates, job losses, closed businesses and "a long and painful recession." Bush called on Congress to pass the administration's rescue plan for Wall Street, which would leave taxpayers on the hook for up to $700 billion--just before Election Day. The president told the public that the "rescue effort is not aimed at preserving any individual company or industry."




He said the government is the only entity that is capable of buying financial firms' troubled assets at their current low prices and holding them until their value returns to normal. He argued that if a bailout is not approved, foreclosures would rise, millions of people could lose their jobs and reminded them that "ultimately our country could experience a long and painful recession."
The economic crisis is almost certain to overshadow the rest of Bush's four months left in office and could hugely impact his legacy.

Top Clinton fundraiser known as the Hellraiser switches support to McCain...


A top Hillary Rodham Clinton fundraiser threw her support behind Republican John McCain on Wednesday, saying he will lead the country in a centrist fashion and accusing the Democrats of becoming too extreme. Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter, will announce her support of Sen. John McCain during a press conference on Wednesday.

Forester, a member of the DNC's Platform Committee and Democrats Abroad chapter, said she will "campaign and help him through the election, but will not switch parties" according to her spokesman.

"I believe that Barack Obama, with MoveOn.org and Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean, has taken the Democratic Party — and they will continue to — too far to the left," Lynn Forester de Rothschild said. "I'm not comfortable there."

Forester was a major donor for Clinton, earning her the title as a "Hillraiser" for helping to raise at least $100,000 for Clinton's presidential campaign, which she lost to Obama.

When will the Democrats ever learn..................


As Sen. Obama sinks in the poll and the GOP steals the spotlight for the first time. Sen Obama its seems is at a lost as to how to counter the the Sarah Palin effect. today word is coming out that Barack Obama planned to "dispatch" Hillary Clinton and other prominent women Democrats to counter the energy Sarah Palin has brought into the presidential race.


Watch CBS Videos Online

The Obama camp in my opinion made a colossal mistake by not putting Sen. Clinton on the ticket, now they are about to pay a huge price for underestimating the power of women, when they loose the election in November.
I can just see them in panic mode right now and having second thoughts for not adding Clinton to the ticket. now their ego and arrogance will be the ruin of the Democratic party. as ususal,the democtats have manage to screw up big time again.

Obama falls in the polls, McCain takes lead.......


The Gallup daily tracking poll is reporting that John McCain has overtaken Barack Obama in a recent poll just taken.McCain leads Obama 48 percent to 45 percent among registered voters, by Gallup’s measure. McCain has so far earned the same convention bounce as Obama, though at a more rapid pace.

Rasmussen’s daily tracking poll also reported today that when "leaners” are included, Obama and McCain are now tied at 48 percent. That means that, by Rasmussen’s measure, Obama’s 6-point bounce has been erased. CBS News polling had shown the same outcome midway through the GOP convention.

McCain’s rise in the polls comes as Nielsen Media Research reported that the Republican convention earned more television viewers than the Democratic convention. Republicans earned an average audience of 34.5 million, while Democrats earned an average viewership of 30.2 million.

This can not be good news for the Democrats,maybe its time for the Dems to make that 3 am phone call to Senator Clinton, because God knows they need all their heavy guns on the front lines.

McCain, Palin draws huge crowds.........


With the polls showing the the race for President dead even, and Obama and the Democrats not getting any traction since their convention ended in Denver, and the Republicans growing ever confident in both their nominee for president and vice president, the Obama camp must surely be nervous by now. today it was learned that the Obama camp was sending out a team of women surrogate to blunt the impact of the Sarah Palin pick as John McCain's running mate.



Big crowds cheered the Arizona senator and Alaska governor as they made their post-convention debut in Democratic-leaning Wisconsin and Michigan, presenting themselves as a team of reformers eager to challenge Washington's political establishment.
"Change is coming, change is coming," McCain promised the audience, borrowing the same theme that Democrat Barack Obama has made the centerpiece of his run for the White House.
The Republican team plans to campaign together in hotly contested states — Wisconsin and Michigan on Friday, Colorado and New Mexico on Saturday — and then go their separate ways.

Sarah Palin proves she can stand tall with the boys.......


If there were ever any doubt that Republican nominee for vice president Sarah Palin could not stand tall with the big boys, lastnight that doubt was almost if not erased. The 44-year-old first female Alaskan governor was unflinching as she strode on to the party's national convention stage to a roaring standing ovation and set out to show she was the right choice as John McCain's running mate.




Gov. Palin introduced herself to America before a roaring crowd at the Republican national Convention on Wednesday night as “just your average hockey mom” who was as qualified as the Democratic nominee, to be president of the United States. she said unlike Mr Obama, she had had "actual responsibilities" in the past.
Here's how I look at the choice Americans face in this election," she said.
"In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.
Palin took many swings at Obama, saying he talks "one way in Scranton and another in San Francisco." She claimed he had never authored any substantive legislation and never used the word "victory" except to refer to his campaign. She also accused him of wanting to grow government and raise taxes.
The 44-year-old Governor of Alaska has taken only six days to smash her way into the American public's consciousness, having being virtually unheard-of until last Friday.

Lieberman Makes the case for McCain, slam Dems....


Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential pick eight years ago, speaking at the Republican national convention on Tuesday criticized his party's nominee as an untested candidate unwilling to challenge powerful interest groups as both Republican John McCain and one-time Democratic President Clinton have done.
"Sen. Obama is a gifted and eloquent young man who can do great things for our country in the years ahead," Lieberman said in prepared remarks. "But eloquence is no substitute for a record — not in these tough times."



He cited McCain's bipartisan work on campaign finance reform, his role in helping create the 9/11 Commission and stance against wasteful government spending.

"Both of the presidential candidates this year talk about changing the culture of Washington, about breaking through the partisan gridlock and the special interests that are poisoning our politics," Lieberman said. "But, my friends, only one of them has actually done it."
I really thought this was one of the best speech as to why McCain should be President, and i dare say i love the Republican convention theme Country First.....
