Political Punch

If the economy is so great and robust why is Starbucks closing 600 stores with 12,000 losing their jobs? Why is General Motors stock the lowest since 1954? Why is Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on the verge of failure? Why did Indymac Bank fail 7/11/08 even though it had 32 billion in assets?

I realize you republicans thine we're in a mental recession. That's why I have numbers to clear your foggy minds. If your mind is open they'll hit you like a Mack Truck.

Are we in a recession, NO, the press with the push from their bosses in the DNC are pushing it though. Which is causing companies to panic, and prices to rise!!
It is a game from the libs!!

we have had no 2 quarter of negative growth in a row, which is the sign of a recession.

the libs care more about power then the people!! they doubled the gas prices since they took over congress, the raise food prices all of which affect the poor and middle class!!

Wake up America, the libs are worst then the terrorists!!

Dale, you are exactly right. If someone has to ask if we are in a recession, then they obviously make plenty of money. I barely survived the 80's.I know what a recession feels like. It begins with a pinch and can wind up severing a limb. And coming from McCain, who's wife wears suits that cost ten times as much as my monthly income, it's a little hard to swallow. And they think we are so stupid that we will believe them if they tell us enough, "it's not so bad". Is that what they call reverse psychology?

McCain like Bush constituents and the HAVES and HAVE MORES. Which are words straight from Bush's mouth.

So if you aren't a HAVE or HAVE MORE McCain is not your man, unless agree with the Bush policies.

McCain has officially thrown phil gramm his chief economic advisor and architect of McCain's economic policies under the bus. Way to reward your loyal buddy of 25 years McCain.

So let's make a list of what Obama has done ..........
1.
2.
3.
4.
Wait...
5.

McCain is an American hero.
Obama is an empty suit.
What Obama can change is his his positions on almost everything.
One debate on Obama's accomplishments will show how little he knows.
He's just a politiican, a con from Chicago.
Wake up Democrats.

Did the MSM cover the fact story that Politico.com scrubbed its site of the McCain camp’s initial response to Phil Gramm’s statement that we are a “nation of whiners.” That statement indicated that the McCain campaign actually stood by Gramm's remarks, saying the interview as a whole was merely meant as a preview of the Senator's economic agenda. “Mr. Gramm was simply saying that we are laying out the economic plan this week,” Politico’s piece quoted a "McCain official" as saying. "The plan is comprehensive, providing immediate near-term relief for Americans hurting today as well as longer-term solutions to get our economy back on track, secure our energy future and deliver jobs, prosperity and opportunity for the next generation. We're laying out that plan this week with an emphasis on the critical importance of job creation, and it's been a great success so far."

Wow, McCain has the media wrapped around his finger and are covering for him big time. I knew this all along, but Nat Turner helped me see the light.

Nat Turner

Thank you for pointing out several things that I didn't know about John McCain. I didn't realize how flawed he is. There is no way that I would ever vote for McCain. He does not tell the truth about anything and the media is just covering for him! Where do I sign up for Sen. Obama's campaign. I would be honored and proud to have him serve as the leader of my country. Mr. Turner, you are a great American!

Dale, you are exactly right. If someone has to ask if we are in a recession, then they obviously make plenty of money. I barely survived the 80's.I know what a recession feels like. It begins with a pinch and can wind up severing a limb. And coming from McCain, who's wife wears suits that cost ten times as much as my monthly income, it's a little hard to swallow.

BLAST EM' both Barack, BLAST EM'!!!!! LOL!!!!!!! This is great!!!! We'll just let the McCain campaign do our work for us. They keep proving our point about Repubs and Conservs are most out of touch people on the face of the earth. As long as their yachts and mansions are paid for screw the rest of America. Yeah you'll be in the White House McCain, yeah no doubt. And Dr. Phil will be counseling you. This is after all your economic tutor. I want to see how much spin Newt, Hannity, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, the entire FIXED (FOX) News organization, etc. put on this. LOL!!!!!!!!!

Obama 08!!!!!!!!!

McCain wants to keep our troops in Iraq for 100 years...Thats an OBAMANATION to America.

He wants to cut taxes on the upper 5%(millionaires/billionaires)...that's an
OBAMANATION.

He wants to drill and not conserve...that's an OBAMANATION

He wants to bomb and talk later...that's an OBAMANATION.

He wants to help big lobbyists...that's an OBAMANATION.

He wants to keep taking our freedoms...that's an OBAMANATION.

McCain wants to continue the failed Bush policies...that's an OBAMANATION.

Are we better off now than in 2000 when this adm. and the Republicans took control of the country?...that's a BIG OBAMANATION.

Obama is pointing these obamanations out and wants to correct them.

Regrets (definition) a polite expression of real or pretended sadness, something previously done or said that now appears wrong, mistaken, or hurtful to other.

Just yesterday, Mr. Obama told the American people he is embarrassed because American’s do not speak more foreign languages and told us to have our children learn Spanish. He said “they want to pass a law”, “We want English-only." The bill before the Senate was to make English the official language of America of which Mr. Obama voted NO. English is spoken all over this globe ---France, England, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, India, South America, China, Japan, etc., etc., etc. It is the chosen language of the World and for good reason---our country is successful. Our country communicates and shares information together in the same language, which has probably helped us succeed ahead of other nations with their many languages and many dialects. In America right now, 85% of America's 17 million high school students are graduating with two or more years of foreign language.

Will Obama REGRET that he voted against English being the official language of America and that we embarrass him because we do not speak more foreign languages be in line to be the latest regrets?

REGRETTED - Just a few days ago Obama regretted allowing his young daughters to participate in a family TV interview with "Access Hollywood."

REGRETTED – Obama has regretted saying that the lives of American soldiers who died fighting in Iraq had been “wasted”.

REGRETTED – Obama has regretted his choice of words that "bitter" folks in Middle America who have lost economic hope "cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them."

REGRETTED - Obama has regretted buying property and having help of the purchase of the lot next door by his longtime supporter and big-time fund-raiser Tony Rezko, who helped him win his Senate Seat.

I know I’ve missed a lot of regrets, and you can probably fill them in (or just watch the News because tomorrow will provide another one). When it comes to the Oval Office and the world what will be his regrets?

Does that mean Obama shares Wright/Pfleger view
---------------------------------------

He said that he did not share their views, and it's clear that he's telling the truth. And at least neither of those preachers engineered the Enron debacle and the subprime mortgage catastrophe that McCain's Dr. Phil helped create. If he's really a doctor, somebody should sue him for malpractice.

Bell Starr "Neither humor nor actual politics seems to be Big Daddy Barack's strong suit."
------------------------------------
Obama's joke about Dr. Phil is a heck of a lot funnier than McLame's "joke" about killing Iranians with cigarettes. The joke is that McCain really wants to use bombs to kill them. What a funny guy.

Obama agrees that Candidate shares Advisor/Mentors words..

Does that mean Obama shares Wright/Pfleger view

"America Already Has One Dr. Phil"

Side-splitting. Neither humor nor actual politics seems to be Big Daddy Barack's strong suit.

Well, I suppose we shouldn't have an "Iran is a big threat to us" psychology either and that's all that is.

Maybe we should have had a "Al Qaeda is a real threat not Iraq" pyschology and attacked them with the forces and lives lost in Iraq. We would have kept Iran in a box and oh wait, Israel would have been unhappy nevermind.

The Democrat-controlled Congress, and the liberal media, have done a magnificent job of creating a 'recession' and blaming Bush for it.

"I think it’s time we had a President who doesn’t deny our problems – or blame the American people for them – but takes responsibility and provides the leadership to solve them."

Darn right. How about John Edwards? Big Daddy's "leadership" on FISA was another no-show.

We are not technically in a recession--YET.

But high gas prices are going to take a toll on the entire economy, unlike the "housing crisis" which is nothing more than people who never should have gotten mortgages losing homes they never could have paid for.

And to this very day the Democrats are doing everything in their power to BLOCK domestic oil drilling. Why? Because they want economic hardship for all.

There are 250 MILLION passenger vehicles registered in the United States, according to the Department of Transportation. Almost all of them run on petroleum derived fuels. We are going to need oil for many years to come since those cars are not going to be replaced with hydrogen vehicles overnight. And we are going to need oil much cheaper than it is now.

The Democrats are to blame for high oil prices and the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of job losses directly attributable to high oil prices. Auto workers, airlines, taxi drivers, the trucking industry--all are shedding jobs because of the high cost of gas and the Democrats KEEP BLOCKING new domestic supply from coming to market.
