you may want to ask yourself

what does a millionaire with seven houses and 13 cars...who didn't earn any of them...

and who has never had to know what a student loan application looks like never mind worry about balancing a mortgage payment with food and healthcare...

do?

because as we have seen when he is surrounded by deregulation lobbyists and his hawkish attitude

we see what he does...

He watches with his friends as they drive a trillion dollars out the window...

McCain Keating S&L and deregulation a trillion dollars.

Mccain Bush Iraq War a
trillion dollars.

Mccain Gramm, Black, Davis 23 etc.'s
deregualtion again ugh....a
trillion dollars.

How many trillions does a millionaire whose wife owns 7 houses and 13 cars from the money she inherited from her Daddy...

does he have to be involved directly with losing before we say

uh...this guy should move to Alaska with his moron counterpart.

HILLARY SAID IT LOUD AND CLEAR!!!NO WAY NO HOW NO MCCAIN/PALIN

Chosing Palin was nothing but a stunt. Just like maverick's "campaign suspension".

Even Karl Rove said Palin was not chosen based on ability or knowledge.

They just gave Palin a sarcastic speech to read, put a waving flag behind her, and the pubs thought she was real.

I swear the GOP lemmings are the most gullible lot in America. They gave us Bush twice by falling for the same BS.

Did no one else see this coming? You can fake it for a few days, but not for two months. This is the person who is running for VICE PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA!

What do businesses do when their taxes are raised in this country?

They move their business to a country with less tax.

Let Obama become president, so that all of this supporters will have to move to a foreign country to keep their jobs.

The palin bounce can be seen clearly. It is now headed straight down...

Angelo, Um what? you obviously like Hillary but doubt Obama will get impeached...would like to see legal action against Cheney though, he has undermined the Constitution at every opportunity. Rumsfield should be up their as well, no way he didn't no what was happening in those prisons. & Peg I assume your talking about that Rush Limbaugh ad? yea it is pretty bad but I don't think either candidate (McCain Or Obama) really have much to do with the attack ads, thats left to the campaign. You really think McCain felt Obama wanted to teach Sex Ed to PreSchoolers? I really don't think he did. But with politics before you can make change you have to be in a position to carry out change. Sad but true. Both sides are responsible for this economic mess both had time controlling the Congress & neither did anything. Now neither wants to be seen as to be wholly responsible for the bill (thats why the democrats didn't carry the bill themselves). Both sides want to be reelected & a bipartisan deal would take away sole responsiblity. Dems agreed to get 120-140 votes, Rep 70-100. Thats where it fell down. It will get done but there going to be some pain before it does! We will bounce back stronger we always do.

Ann: Are you illiterate,innumerate, or just plain stupid?

Nearly two-thirds of Democrats voted FOR the bailout; two-thirds of Republicans voted no.

1) Learn to do basic math. 2) Read stories carefully before commenting. 3) Grow a brain.

mr scum:

what do you think Obama is going to do with a failed economy?

Raise taxes on businesses and the wealthy, which translates to hirer prices to you and me, you know the 95% that will get that wopping $1000.

Which will be gone just pay the hirer prices.

Obama will will and be impeached AND removed from office within one year.

So what?

Obama/Biden will lead this country in the right direction and he was right not
to Bailout wall Street this prove he is
a people President Lets bailout the ones
who is losing home and jobs this is the
best solution for this Country, we did
not put Wall Street in this position the
Greedy CEO'S put wall street in this
position.OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!

HP Boston,

First, get a job or find something constructive to do because you are spending way too much time spewing hate and anger. You need to open your eyes and grow up...

Second, get used to hearing President Obama because he will win so get over it.

Angelo, even if that did all happen, its not an impeachable offence. Look up constitutional law.

THE seeds of today's financial meltdown lie in the Commu nity Reinvestment Act - a law passed in 1977 and made riskier by unwise amendments and regulatory rulings in later decades.

CRA was meant to encourage banks to make loans to high-risk borrowers, often minorities living in unstable neighborhoods. That has provided an opening to radical groups like ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) to abuse the law by forcing banks to make hundreds of millions of dollars in "subprime" loans to often uncreditworthy poor and minority customers.

Any bank that wants to expand or merge with another has to show it has complied with CRA - and approval can be held up by complaints filed by groups like ACORN.

In fact, intimidation tactics, public charges of racism and threats to use CRA to block business expansion have enabled ACORN to extract hundreds of millions of dollars in loans and contributions from America's financial institutions.

Banks already overexposed by these shaky loans were pushed still further in the wrong direction when government-sponsored Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac began buying up their bad loans and offering them for sale on world markets.

Unfortunately, there is no guarantee (even though he is clearly the better of the 2 candidates.) Obama's race remains a huge elephant in the elections. I will believe he wins only after it happens. Sadly, fear of difference still pervades many communities this country.

Um,Ann. The bill didn't pass because of the republican vote. And Obama isn't president...yet. He dosen't run congress. And if republicans kept up their 70% of the bargain, it would have passed. Where was McCain?

mr scum:

when Obama can't produce everything he is promising to us "middle class" folk, he will have all americans petitioning for his removal of office.

HP,

Again your lack of credibilty shows.

The banking collapse had absolutely nothing to do with community organizers. It's another rediculous analogy. But as always, you have to stretch to try and find something negative to say about Obama.

In 2004, the SEC loosened regulations requiring that banks hold $1 for every $12 loaned and changed it to $1 for every $40 dollars loaned. They allowed only five banks to change their holdings-to-loan ratio and guess which five just collapsed?

Changing the debt ratios made it so that even a small number of defaults would collapse the system. The fall in the housing market made the collape inevitable. Thank you deregulators! (McSame)

The other issue stems from the way banks traded insured loans. In simplistic terms, they were all just insuring each other. So when one fell, they all fell. The changes in this policy began in the mid '90's.

So give up trying to blame Barack. Anyone with any sense knows it had nothing to do with him. You CAN blame the stauch supporters of deregulation. This would include John McCain and friends.

WHAT exactly does a "community organizer" do? Barack Obama's rise has left many Americans asking themselves that question. Here's a big part of the answer: Community organizers intimidate banks into making high-risk loans to customers with poor credit.

In the name of fairness to minorities, community organizers occupy private offices, chant inside bank lobbies, and confront executives at their homes - and thereby force financial institutions to direct hundreds of millions of dollars in mortgages to low-credit customers.

In other words, community organizers help to undermine the US economy by pushing the banking system into a sinkhole of bad loans. And Obama has spent years training and funding the organizers who do it.

WHAT?????

Anyone who wins and it will probably be Obama, the are going to have to solve a lot of problems.

Raising anyone's taxes are not going solve the problem. Companies will just move their business to another country.
Say goodbye to your job, say goodbye to the taxpayers who had those jobs.

Barrack Obama, a one year term.

And then what will we have, and old, white man, as president.

Angelo read the Constitution! Impeachment can only can in cases of: "Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
The entire planet could hate him & it still wouldn't give grounds for impeachment! If it was down to popularity Bush would have been gone ages ago. You can keep saying & wishing it doesn't make the law change

I think bringing socialism/communism to a the United States of America is treason.

Good Luck and Goodbye!
