To everyone's surprise, all the color drained from Obama's face. Then he collapsed onto his desk, head in his hands, visibly shaken, almost in tears. Finally, he composed himself and asked, "Just how many is a brazilian?" This is especially enlightening since he anf t*ltypoo obviously has no concept of a billion or a trillion, either.” 4:36:28 PM 3/21/09 “...unregulated credit derivatives market people. greed unchecked. the beauty of all this (if there is such a thing) is that despite best efforts to take the attention off of the problem NOTHING will change until it is addressed. so the more attention is diverted from what has really happened the longer this mess will continue. eventually there will have to be a reckoning and those trying to keep people from seeing the real problems will be exposed.” 5:09:15 PM 3/21/09 “2 Brazilian= 2 tiger Noes.” 5:14:06 PM 3/21/09 “Supplyside + 'L'= Supplyslide, every time.” 5:31:55 PM 3/21/09 “why do you compare obama to palin? mccain was his oppostion. another true sign of the obamessiah. the funny and unfortunate part is, she's more prepared for this job than obama is. i have no doubt she could be doing a better job than obama is. scares the $hit out of me. when i say bad mortgages, i'm not just refering to the real estate market, house prices in neighborhoods and equity. the majority of the bs derivatives are the product of piss poor mortgage lending. yes, something needs to be done about this. i don't argue it for a minute. let the dumb fux go broke. don't use my money to bail them out. i was smart and responsible enough to stay away from this $hit and now bush and mccain and obama and palossi (insert anyone in washington in the last two years that voted for bailouts) want to take my money and give it to the greedy fux that did it in the first place. sorry, but i don't agree with this. the government has no business using our money to prop up any poorly run business. every celebrity blinded fool that voted for this unprepared president is responsible for the mess we're headed for. thanks a bunch. it's unfortunate there isn't a screening process for the job. all you have to be is a smooth talking rock star. this man didn't have one iota of qualification for what he's doing. great speaker though. last edited: 3/22/09 3:28:25 AM” 3:36:00 AM 3/22/09 “I can't imagine anyone being prepared to deal with white collar terrorism on a scale as we have. Reminiscent of the Iranian hostages of the Carter years except this time over three million americans are being held hostage by a few huge Gangs from wall street. No new attacks since 9/11 still be chanted by the greedy ass people that got us into this and all the messes of the last 80 years.” 8:36:05 AM 3/22/09 “"every celebrity blinded fool that voted for this unprepared president is responsible for the mess we're headed for." That's a cheap excuse that denies last 28 years of sliding down the slippery slope of conservative ideology that de-regulated and supply-sided us into the economic toilet in which we now swim in circles. Sarah Palin is the celebrity in last year's campaign line-up. She can't even manage her own family and does a half-ass job of running the state with the nation's smallest population. Palin sure roped in a lot of dopes with her talk of "Carharts and steel-toed boots", courting ordinary Americans while offering a lot of promise to the ruling class.” 10:29:04 AM 3/22/09 “right, and we were doing so much better 29 years ago. saying it was conservatives or liberals that got us where we are is sticking your head in the sand. both are guilty. it's the incompetance of the self indulgent elected folks we send to washington every term. regardless of all that's happened, obama is ill prepared to be in charge of anything, let alone this country. it seems all he knows how to do is talk. he lets lying tax cheats make policy while he's running around trying to show his face everywhere except where he should be. and once again, why try and deflect his naivette with the worn out palin defence? it only reminds everyone that the current president had less experience than the vp candidate of the other ticket. doesn't it bother you to realize the candidate you voted for has broken every campaign promise he made? don't you feel like you've been lied to and had the wool pulled over your eyes? are you to vain to admit somebody smooth talked you? are you really that blinded?” 11:20:14 AM 3/22/09 “doesn't it bother you to realize the candidate you voted for has broken every campaign promise he made? don't you feel like you've been lied to and had the wool pulled over your eyes? are you to vain to admit somebody smooth talked you? are you really that blinded?” baume 66 1:20:14 PM Yes, they are.” 11:29:09 AM 3/22/09 “I'm guessing you were for the previous eight years. Did you think there was a monopoly on that type of thinking. As Salebored says, no one is prepared to take on what Obama is being tasked with. Do you really think McCain could be doing better. It's easy to say, but do you really think so?” 11:31:06 AM 3/22/09 “Time will tell, sisters. It's a bit soon to be soiling our drawers. Saying that conservatives and liberals are somehow equal and that there has been some kind of balance is a cop-out. The trend to conservative policy over the years has been largely based on emotional and ideological appeal with a dose of fear-mongering and not based upon reason. And here we are with a change in direction(we can only hope) and some of you guys are ready to commit Hairy Kerry so soon.” 11:38:51 AM 3/22/09 “markO does adore his Obamessiah.” 12:02:48 PM 3/22/09 “no, i'm not a conservative apologist. no, i wasn't happy with the last 8 years. yes, i'm saying conservatives and liberals have both contributed pretty much equally to the current situation. saying they haven't is denying fact. yes, i think mccain was much much more prepared to handle the current situation. yes, i am worried by the way obama feels the need to try and boost his approval rating in the polls while timmy plans on driving up the deficit to levels unimaginable 12 months ago. it's like he thinks going on leno and making bad jokes will make the masses blind to the spending. or going on espn to fill out his ncaa bracket will make nobody notice gibbs has used the word "uh" three times more than any other word in interviews. or blaming every penny palossi, frank and dodd push through the partisan excuse of a congress we have on the last admin and congress. some how he forgets he was there also. our government has become the worlds sit-com. it's pathetic. and no, if you're wondering, i didn't vote a party line.” 12:06:56 PM 3/22/09 “Face it, we've had some video game geeks that workered for Goldman Sachs code these video games which became a virtual world in which the risk of the ugly truth of really could be hiden and marketed with little to no concern of the future and it has drug this whole country into the latrine. We're being held hostage by these weasels who demand masses of money to not go off and trade against the taxpayers money which could bring this country to bankruptsy, if not already they have.” 12:18:58 PM 3/22/09 “"Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit Obama's national debt." -- Tip o'the hat to Herbert Hoover” 12:26:42 PM 3/22/09 “Obama never planned to make Vets pay for their service connected injuries. His intent was for the govt to charge the insurance companies of Vets with private insurance for their care. That was despicable enough, but a far cry from charging the veteran directly as Bacpac states.” Nimblefoot This isn't new, it's been in effect for years now. Everytime I go in they ask me if I have private insurance yet.” 12:44:37 PM 3/22/09 “Some questions: Who controlled Congress when they passed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which overturned a Depression-era law preventing commercial banks from acting like investment banks? Who controlled Congress in 2000 when they passed another bill which loosened regulation of derivative markets? Which Administration allowed many federal agencies to turn a blind eye to activities which would later precipitate the global financial meltdown? Under which Administration did the Securities and Exchange Commission decide to allow the nation's largest financial institutions to "self-regulate"? Under which Administration did the Federal Reserve decline to use its power to regulate subprime mortgages? Under which Administration did the Comptroller of the Currency decide to preempt state consumer laws on subprime mortgages? Which President demanded that Fannie and Freddie increase the percentage of subprime loans they purchased, supposedly because of his belief in an "ownership society"? Is there a little amnesia going around?” 12:54:15 PM 3/22/09 “McCain admitted he didn't know squat about economics. His actions during the campaign, with respect to the financial crisis, underscored his statement. All he did was posture, cancelling on Letterman to fly back to DC and save us, only to show up on (what's her name's) show. He's proven many times that he would say and do anything to be president. I am with you on both parties being responsible, but to me the right has not shown they can govern. May it will also be demonstrated that the left can't either. If so, I'm for Salebored.” 12:59:40 PM 3/22/09 “i trust neither party at this point, and it seems the whole world is going down the toilet so all we can do is hold on while we swirl around the to the very end...” 1:09:42 PM 3/22/09 “Republican Senator Judd Gregg, who withdrew as Barack Obama’s Commerce Secretary, says Obama’s economic policies will bankrupt the country.” 1:11:09 PM 3/22/09 “Must be true if he says so//sarc.” 1:17:42 PM 3/22/09 “Press Secretary Explains President’s “Apparent” Special Olympics Gaffe In his history-making appearance on the Tonight Show, President Barack Obama stunned the nation with his offhand crack “I bowl like one of those retards in the Special Olympics.” During last Fall’s presidential race, Obama inspired titters by scoring a 37 in a bowling match in Pennsylvania. He says, though, that he’s been practicing in the White House alley and has recently scored as high as 129 in a single game. Press Secretary Robert Gibbs asked that Americans “show some class by not mocking the President’s lack of skills or his choice of words in describing them. The President has had to overcome some serious handicaps and adversities to rise as high as he has in the world. No Special Olympian has achieved as much as he has.” Gibbs said that the challenge to a “bowl-off” that Obama has received from the cognitively impaired Kolan McConiughey “vindicates the President’s humility about his bowling abilities. That a Special Olympian like Mr. McConiughey would offer to bowl with the President validates the President’s perception of where he stands vis ŕ vis the competition.” McConiughey, is said to have an IQ of around 50 and a bowling average of 212 a game.” 1:20:56 PM 3/22/09 “".............says Obamaďż˝s economic policies will bankrupt the country." The country is already bankrupt. Maybe you haven't been keepin' up with current events, but we just got our asses kicked and the Obama Gang is stuck with the task of doin' SOMETHING about it. Hold off on crappin' your bloomers until Obama's Gang actually #&%!$s up..............or enjoy that warm feeling.” 1:46:33 PM 3/22/09 “kleetn, i believe it was president clinton that signed the commodity futures modernization act that deregulated the derivatives market. there's plenty of blame to throw in any direction. last edited: 3/22/09 2:22:41 PM” 2:41:37 PM 3/22/09 “LOL....yeah you can now kiss "Stop Chinese Imports made by slave labor good bye." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/03/23/china-continue-buying-debt-official-says/ "So as an important component we are naturally relatively concerned with the safety and profitability of U.S. government bonds," Hu said -- a statement apparently aimed at concerns that rising debt to fund Washington's stimulus package could spur inflation and weaken the dollar. China is Washington's biggest foreign creditor, holding an estimated $1 trillion in U.S. government debt. A weaker dollar would erode the value of those assets. Hu's comments follow remarks earlier this month from Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao that he was "a little bit worried" about China's holdings of U.S. government debt. Wen called on the U.S. to honor its commitments, remain credit-worthy, and ensure the safety of Chinese assets. China's investments are likely to be a major topic of discussion when Chinese President Hu Jintao meets with President Barack Obama on the sidelines of an April 2 summit in London of the Group of 20 major economies called to discuss remedies for the global financial crisis. Let me be the first to thank Cheapershoes for his contiued support of our nation...(LOL)” 12:13:45 PM 3/23/09 “http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/22/opinion/22rich.html?_r=2&ref=opinion OH my and he can't blame this on the weather. A CHARMING visit with Jay Leno won’t fix it. A 90 percent tax on bankers’ bonuses won’t fix it. Firing Timothy Geithner won’t fix it. Unless and until Barack Obama addresses the full depth of Americans’ anger with his full arsenal of policy smarts and political gifts, his presidency and, worse, our economy will be paralyzed. It would be foolish to dismiss as hyperbole the stark warning delivered by Paulette Altmaier of Cupertino, Calif., in a letter to the editor published by The Times last week: “President Obama may not realize it yet, but his Katrina moment has arrived.” ” 1:22:57 PM 3/23/09 “The only american weapon that gains any respect, ' the money printing presses'.LMFAO” 1:23:21 PM 3/23/09 “LOL ![]() YES WE HAVE A BRAND STICKER FOR A Bail Out...how cheezy.

The freak's gotta go - pronto.” 2:54:12 PM 3/23/09 Oh, for the love of change! “It seems that the Congressional Budget Office has some news for Obama .. his budget would commit Washington to unsustainable deficits and increase borrowing by over $9 trillion over the next decade. That is more than four times the deficits of George Bush. It gets worse, folks. The Congressional Budget Office predicts that "Obama's policies would cause government spending to swell above historic levels even after the costly programs to alleviate the recession and shore up the financial system have ended. The result, the CBO said, was that by 2019 the US national debt would be about 82 per cent of GDP - about double where it is today." How about that? You voted for this guy because he looked cool and enjoys basketball. You voted for him because he appeared on all of your favorite magazine covers and was praised by your favorite TV and movie stars. And, of course, you voted for him because of that magical word "change!" Working out pretty well, isn't it? Obama, of course, is saying that the CBO has it all wrong. HE, based on his immense government and management experience - which he has been displaying so brilliantly - says that he will cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. The ONLY way that will happen is if the House and Senate are turned over to a new breed of Republican and a stop is put to this idiocy.” 8:22:49 PM 3/23/09 “Anytime 4.5% of the World population tries to live and give and arm like they are the majority of the earth they are headed for overwhelming debt. That country can for a limited amount of time use voodoo accounting to cover that debt, but at some point the bubble must burst for good. welcome to post bubble america where pretend nolonger works it's usual disney magic.” 8:41:57 PM 3/23/09 “Gojo...its not that bad.

At the beginning of the year, only 14% held that positive view. However, President Barack Obama's ratings for job performance and favorability did not improve over earlier this month. In the most recent survey, 49% rate his job performance as excellent or good and 50% as fair or poor (less than 1% were not sure.) That is a dip of three points from the previous poll. The percentages who feel very or somewhat favorable toward Obama remained unchanged between the two polls, with 55% now and 56% in the previous poll. There are still huge partisan differences in opinions about Obama. For example, 91% of Democrats rate Obama favorably, compared to 14% of Republicans. On Obama's job performance, 87% of Democrats grade it as excellent or good, compared to 9% of Republicans. Sample size of the survey was 4,523, with a margin of error of +/- 1.5%. Margins of error are higher in sub-groups.” 7:30:21 AM 3/25/09 “ ”7:33:40 AM 3/25/09 Boortz U “All of the problems facing this country, not to mention mankind, will be solved with some sort of government-run healthcare system. No about of anecdotal evidence that government-run healthcare is a mess is going to do nothing to dissuade people who think that there is something out there called "free health care." There is one big reason the left is pushing this government health care idea, and it has nothing to do with actually giving a damn about your health. It is about control These people want to control every possible aspect of your life. They know that when they control your health care they control you. Simple as that. Not simple enough, however, for the government educated dumb masses in this country to quite grasp it.” 7:38:45 AM 3/25/09 “The great thing is, the previous Administration paved the way. Remember? The president's authority as commander in chief in the war on terror is not bound by any law passed by Congress, any treaty, or the protections of free speech, due process and the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. The First, Fourth and Fifth amendments -- basically gone. Yeah, the president can order the military to operate in the U.S. and to operate without constitutional restrictions. They -- the military -- can pick you or me up in the U.S. for any reason and without any legal process. They would not have any restrictions on entering your house to search it, or to seize you. They can put you into a brig without any due process or going to court. The military can disregard the Posse Comitatus law, which restricts the military from acting as police in the the United States. And the president can, in the name of wartime restrictions, limit free speech. Let's all give the Bush Administration a hand: one-person rule without any checks and balances. Law by fiat. Don't look so good now, does it?” 7:44:02 AM 3/25/09 “Stand up and fight then!” 7:54:33 AM 3/25/09 “AH yes...the High Priest of the Painful Truth!!!! THe fun part is that if and when it DOES happen, you are talking another part of the American Industry gone forever. The scary thing is that eventually we will begin seeing "Rationing" of health care. Say you are a chronic Alcoholic who has sponged off his old lady all his life. You get rushed to the Hospital with the early stages of liver disease. The doc checks history and says,"Send it upstairs to the "administration" to decide if he is able to be treated." So up the file goes. Up stairs is a mid level beauracrat with a major issue with drunks and druggies. Well there is a "new treatment" but you know the corporation didn't give the right bribes to PrezBo or Nancy Pelosi so their meds are not available for distribution. Besides the government will not allow (following good English history) self abusers treatment. SO after waiting 10 hours to be treated, and on hour waiting for a response the Doctor disconnects the meds and explains..."sorry DrunkO here is on his own." "This can't be." Exclaims DrunkO, "I supported PrezBO. The doctor checks his file and says,"AH you are right we are sending you to the "Boxer Program". As DrunkO's family watch a Herse with "Soylent Green Corporation" pulls up. The doctors explain they are taking DrunkO to a life time spa where he will relax in the sun. The Soylent corporation is just there to transport him in the class he is used to. Six months later DrunkO's Wife takes a break from being a stripper to pay bills and finds his finger in a Can of "PREZBO SAUSAGES". last edited: 3/25/09 7:35:46 AM” 7:55:45 AM 3/25/09 “LOL! Makes me think of McCain's sorry, flat delivery at the convention of, "Fight with me...fi-ight with me..."” 7:56:18 AM 3/25/09 what's this remind you of, Rosey? “Geithner proposes sweeping new powers By LISA LERER | 3/24/09 10:15 AM EDT Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is asking Congress for broad regulatory powers to seize non-bank financial companies, a bold move to further expand the Treasury's power over the financial industry. The proposed legislation will allow the government to purchase assets, guarantee liabilities, and buy an equity interest in a large array of financial services companies if they pose systemic risk to the financial system. “The objective is to promote long-term value and growth for shareholders, companies, workers and the economy at large and to reduce the risk of financial rises that the current one from occurring again,” Geithner plans to tell the House Financial Services Committee this morning. Geithner argues that problems at large, interconnected financial institutions — like AIG — can pose huge systemic risks to the financial system. To manage risk, the government must have these broad, new powers. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs appeared on several morning news shows Tuesday to sell the plan. “This isn’t anything crazy,” he said on CNN. “This is exactly what the Treasury Department needs to deal with things like AIG.” Currently, financial services firms are regulated by a number of independent agencies. This legislation would transfer more regulatory responsibility to the Treasury Department. “The lack of an appropriate regulatory regime and resolution authority for large non-bank financial institutions contributed to this crisis and will continue to constrain our capacity to address future crises,” Geithner is set to tell the committee. Before taking emergency action, the treasury secretary would need the recommendations of the Federal Reserve Board and other regulatory agencies.” 8:02:23 AM 3/25/09 “You missed the train, bub.
