It's getting ugglier by the day. We will probably lose 5 million jobes next year. so much for the housing market coming back. Stop paying your mortgage like the other deadbeats, the government will keep you in your house rent free for at least a year. We are screwed folks.

I read a headline "Can Obama Fix The Crisis?"
I thought "Which One?!"
Republicans are working hard to re-write history and every Democrat since Roosevelt is getting falsely blamed.
Can someone please tell Hannity that this country has been in a recession BEFORE Obama decided to run for President? Ergo: it isn't his recession, it's W's.
The stupidity of FOX pundits is all the more scary considering they actually get paid for their nonsense.

Everyone should boycott christmas and avoid spending until the government bails us out instead of the big companies. How about that? We can't riot or hold protests but we can hurt them by not spending our money.

I agree with John, let the oil rich countries choke with oil. let the china chokes with their junk products. let the rich companies choke with their products and last but not least, let the banks and mortgage companies choke with their properties. I can't slave myself for the mortgage anymore.
Heck, stop spending and stop paying.

I think we have to understand the problem before it can get fixed.

Simply blaming the Republicans for a bi-partisan mess is Kool-aid for the left.

And it puts no closer to a turn around.

Since there may be 3 million or more jobs at stake the November unemployment numbers certainly argue for some kind of a bailout of the auto industry.

And for offshore oil drilling.

And for building 45 nuclear power plants.

And approving all the coal-fired plants currently being blocked by the wacko environmentalists.

And in return Al Gore and the Sierra Club can build as many windmills as their heart's desire.

You babbling idiot. This crisis goes beyond politics. The world's financial system was a massive house of cards which is tumbling down. Greenspan kept rates at 1% for way too long and Japan had them even lower. Clinton pushed lowering mortgage standards and barney frank and his buddies laughed when responsible republicans and democrats said we are giving out too many risky loans. The market will correct itself if we let it. Unfortunately Obama and the gang are going to make thinks ten times worse by trying to "fix" the markets. Get ready for five years deep recession my friend.
Thank you

Mr Bush. Need I say more. You ruin the USA with your ego, cheating, and lies. Hope you are happy. You should of never won the 2001 election. You cheated your way in.

Now go enjoy your life with your fake friends. You will not have to worry about social security benifits anymore. A lot of seniors and close to retirement have NOTHING and will more than likely call it a day and check out of what was once a beauitful country..

May God have mercy on your soul, that if you have one.

Just lost my job today.

And most Americans want to add an additional 2 to 2.5 million to that by letting the auto makers crash along with all the companys and jobs it subsidizes.

Last week it was reported that military re-enlistments were up. After this news, new enlistments will be up also. Just like I told you weeks ago. The Congress and Pentagon need not worry about a draft when so many people are being let go by money changers whose only concern is the bottom line. Soon the ranks of new cannon fodder will swell and off we'll go to Venezuala and Iran.

I like the way you spelled "Republicans". It gives me a great idea "Re-Bumble-icans".

And no I do not hate them. However, I do disagree with the way they manipulate their party faithful. That's why I refer to them as Kool-aid drinkers.

Hopefully this election cycle will serve as a wake-up call. The John McCain that ran in 2000 had my vote. But the 2008 cranky old white dude backed by a party of hate (remember the monkey with the Obama sticker, the "that one" comment, and the so called "he's a redistributor" shout out at a rally in Des Moines) lost it this election cycle.

You can't argue the facts so you attack me instead.

Some things never change around here.
