Obama went to college to figure that one out.

Good man! I bet if McCain was asked this question he'd say that he'd have to get back to you after he checks with his advisors!

Obama 2008-2016 !

Stephanopoulos is so much in the tank for Obama you would think he has a gay love attraction to him.

Obama is looking more and more presidential every day.

Barack Obama has requested the equivalent of one million dollars in new pork barrel spending for every working day he's been in the U.S Senate

So let me get this straight:

McCain has been in Washington for decades but he's an agent of change. Biden has been there for just as long, but he can't possibly do it.

Palin has more experience than everyone as Governor of the 47th least populous state in America

Palin can bring real change with her extreme right-wing views but Obama cannot. She gives good speeches and should be praised but when Obama does it it's just a cloud of rhetoric.

My head hurts from all the spinning. It's like the Republicans are trying to mirror the Obama campaign completely.

hemmy, With comments like that you must be from somewhere like Alaska.

Obama has such a command on all issues.
I will feel safe with Obama/Biden in the white house

Obama/Biden
McCain/empty seat

Look at the way both Obama and Stephanopoulos are crossing their legs like fairy's.

Stephanopoulos is going to have a heart attack when Obama loses

This is why Obama shuold be president - we need these companies to stay afloat to keep the housing market going - if they crash - so will 70% of homeowners. I also like that fact he doesn't want to bail out the fat-cats neither.

OBAMA/BIDEN!!!

I fell asleep with a hard on thinking how great Obama is

Chad, c'mon! Faries??? Is that best you can do?

I also love Obama so much. He is such a sexy dark skinned native

McCain called for this three months ago.

Obama and Biden have zero economic experience.

Obama has never run a business.

Obama has never run a state.

Obama has never been on an economic committee.

Obama and Biden are two senators with no economic experience.

Obama is terrible with numbers.

Its a shame Obama is going to lose to Annie Oakley

The McCain campaign is bringing two Bush administration communication veterans on board to beef up the team that will travel with Palin.
Tucker Eskew has joined the Palin team as a senior advisor, and campaign officials said he will play a role akin to chief of staff. Eskew served as director of the White House Office of Global Communications and as director of media affairs.
The campaign also confirmed Friday that Tracey Schmitt is joining as deputy communications director and national spokesperson. She is a former Republican National Committee spokesperson.

THIS IS LIKE PUTTING A DRESS & LIPSTICK ON BUSH

It funny how someone copied my screen name and is trying to impersonate me - BUT if you are going to use my screenname who ever you are please realize that it's kinda difficult to get a "hard on" if you're a female...

I just love George Stephanopoulos hair doo. He is my main man along with Obama

Now that's a President I can trust!! A president that understands the complex issues involved with our institutions and how to make them better for the regular person and better for the country. Obama/Biden 4 ever!!

Obama/Biden have no executive experience, no economic experience, no business experience.

Two senators who are economic lightweights. Both have never been on economic committees.

Obama says 57 states, 10,000 died in a tornado in kansas, 100 million died in Burma.

Bill Clinton was governor for 12 years. He balanced budgets. He knew the economy.

Obama is terrible at math. He is a lawyer.

Obama has no business skills. Obama is illiterate at math.

Obama picked another senator with no economic experience as his running mate.

Obama/Biden are a joke. Both have never run anything. They are both lawyers who have no business experience.

I am a HE/SHE dress as a female but carry a big sausage in my pants

Obama is a sleeze ball lawyer.

Karen complex issues are you kidding me the government had already announced it was taking them over.

Karen you can't be for real complex issues.

this was me
Obama has such a command on all issues.
I will feel safe with Obama/Biden in the white house

Obama/Biden
McCain/empty seat

this was not me
I also love Obama so much. He is such a sexy dark skinned native

EVIDENCE A LOT OF THIAS GOES ON HERE

James they are all Obama trolls. Probably BLACK or College punks maybe paid that have no idea how stupid Obama really is and why Stephanopoulos did not question the fact that the Government and McCain suggested the very same thing months ago.

Karen Obama is clueless on the markets.

Obama said he didn't know there was psychological effects in the energy markets.

Obama is clueless.

Obama has no executive experience.

Obama wasn't governor for 12 years like Clinton.

Obama has never balanced a budget.

Obama failed his math class at Columbia.

Obama has no economic experience.

Obama has no business experience.

Obama is terrible with numbers.

Obama is terrible with paper work he is always blaming his staff.

to good - please keep telling yourself that so you can sleep peacefully at night because you know for a fact your worst nightmare will all come true on November 4th - but just stay calm... breathe... everything will be all right and Obama will have 0 votes from whites on Nov 4th. yes... just keep on telling yourself that and breatheeee...

Obama seems to be one who thinks private enterprise needs to be taken over by Big Brother. When one looks at how the Democratic Big Brother has been doing lately, why in the 'llll' would anyone think they can do better. The democrats have been in control for the last two years when so many of our problems occurred.

I have a fish that i shoved up my anal cavity because i like the way it feels when it squirms.

Reformer Palin accepted money from indited Alaskan oil
After Palin and Allen met, VECO contributed $5,000 to the Palin campaign for lieutenant governor. The contribution came in ten $500 donations made over a two-day period in late December in Allen's name and those of his executives and a couple of their spouses. The donations added up to 10 percent of all the money Palin raised for her 2002 campaign

Obama accetpted a tainted house purchase from a sleeze like Rezko

=======================
Obammy would solve the problem in one minute.

"PRESENT".

Palin/McCain 08

Housing went under because of greed and stupidity of both the companies and the home buyers. Let the market place work itself out..........and pete's sake stop giving loans to illegals and to subprime people who don't pay their bills.

chattyway your right. It was the greed of the lenders and HOME BUYERS. Why should a person making 30,000 dollars a year get a 500,000 dollar loan. Let them dumbells lose their house.

Good ideas on the economic issues Obama. Hopefully with your lead congress can do something to help Americans. I like what I am hearing.

Overthinking goes along with Overeducated. Decisionmaking is sucked right out of the brain of the overeducated. Obama wants to do to our federal government what Illinois, Cook County and the City of Chicago has done to their citizens. Overtax, overspend, fail to meet obligations and allow corruption to run rampant. The Chicago Machine is dirty and ugly - for all of our sake - don't allow to go to Washington.

Obama, as always, flip flops all over the place. He says less government is what America needs, now he says he will depend on government. You NEVER know how this guy will pander in order to get peoples votes! He is such a liar....America is not buying it anymore! Right now, Obama continues to fall in the polls:

Gallup: McCain 45%
Obama 47%

McCain/Palin 08!
"Country First!"

I really wish McCain had picked Romney as VP. Then at least the economy would be the issue we are talking about instead of teen age pregnancy and US magazine. I think McCain really missed the boat.
I'm not a big Obama fan but I think he does understand economics. I'm from NH and during the primaries I heard Obama talk about economic issues at length. He seems to have a good grasp of how markets work and what needs to be done to get us back on track. McCain appears to have no understanding whatsoever of basic economics. It's a little scary.

It's not the LOOKING presidential that Obama has trouble with, its the Acting and Actually Being Presidential that is.

Obama has no trouble making a fake presidential seal and writing president on his big boy chair on his airplane, but it doesn't make him presidential. Real Presidential people don't do such goofy silly things.

What is even scarier is Obama supports Government take over of all business. Obama says the Government can do things better

What a nieve comment....as long as shareholders don't benefit.....does he realize that I'm in the middle class and many of my mutual funds own Fannie and Freddie....so he's nieve if he thinks shareholders = Warren Buffet!!!!

I don't care who's saying this is a good idea. Somebody tell me where the money is coming from, and where does it say that we have to bail out anyone that makes stupid choices. I don't see a single Studebaker dealership out here today, and the world hasn't fallen apart because the company went out of business!

Obama is the man for the job and with God he will.

http://briefingroom.thehill.com/tag/freddie-mac/
Dodd remained upbeat about Fannie and Freddie's futures.

"Fannie and Freddie are very solid institutions," Dodd said. "They have more than adequate capital based on federal law. They have access to the capital markets. Obviously the fear that has been generated over the last number of days is not helping matters. And I hope the actions taken over the end of the weekend by the Treasury and the Fed are going to calm those concerns and we get back to Fannie and Freddie doing the incredibly important job of providing liquidity in a very, very, very bad market"

Did George ask Obama about his adviser and supportr Dodd who chairs the banking commission and said everything would be fine?

Right James, how many lawyers do YOU know that have no business/economic experience??

That was just STUPID to say. Typical McCain/Palin voter.

The EdNH who stole my name I don't appreciate it.
Your statement,

"What is even scarier is Obama supports Government take over of all business. Obama says the Government can do things better"

is completely untrue.

Grow up.

McSame missed the boat alright, if he could have flown a plain true, maybe he wouldn’t have been such a friend to the enemy in the 60's, Oh! Messed up prisoner. Makes you wonder what he had to tell them to keep his life, maybe he talked, prisoner or trader? He sold me out to AIG insurance Co in Phoenix AZ. Maybe you McSame voter’s will have better luck, I really doubt it though. McSame is a looser. My Opinion McSame, don’t cry.

He's going to raise taxes...nuff said.

Another bailout on the tax payer's backs. Great.

Rant3000,there must be a rule on this forum about your crudeness, but I could be wrong since it's a liberal slanted news blog and if it is, then that sort of talk is probably ok and also indicative of where your brain is (in your pants with your sausage).

Obama gives good answers as usual because he stops and analyzes before he makes a decision.

It would be good to have a really educated president in the white house every so often to make sure that the country is on the right path.

Of course with so many uninformed and uneducated people who have the right to vote we might not have one this year either.

Youths of the United States of America, UNITE and VOTE for YOUR future. Don't let the rednecks destroy your future.

One of the reasons we're in trouble with the mortgage market is that congress looked the other way at what was going on. Obama and others got sweetheart deals from the very companies that were corrupting the system.

Obama -- part of the cause, not part of the solution!

I think the government needs to "intervene" for Mrs. Field's Cookies which is in chapter 11.

Now WHY won't we intervene in that American dream?

Never saw a black man yet that didn't like a big over grown Fannie.

O*B*A*M*A

Another way to spell Pelosi.

I think Democrats should not be afraid to attack. This woman is scary. We don't need a pit bull as VP. This woman is known for firing those who don't agree with her. The abuses by the Bush administration will dwarf those by a McCain/Palin administration.

McCain has already released his response on Freddie and Fannie.

But, you will need to go elsewhere to find out what it is.

"with God he will"? Obama's God? The God of Black Liberation Theology where hate is taught AT CHURCH?! Give me a break.

To All those Obama Fans
Its obvious you dont live in Crook County Illinois
Yes Chicago home to one Crooked Republican Governor serving time and another on the way
Two years ago, I received a plea from Barack Obama to help support Todd Stroger for Cook County President. Previously Todd's Dad had run Cook County nearly bankrupt and Todd is out to finish the job. Because of dumb managment skills, incompetence and out and out corruption, Cook County has the highest sales tax in the country. Yes the highest at over 10%. Now thats whats coming down the pike Barack, you idiot who advocates takeover of FNM & FRE kissing goodbye the equity of all those shareholders. I would bet the farm that none of those posting owned
any of the above. Democrats would love to promise anything to anybody.

Obama is pandering...he's just trying to make himself look good. Remember, just a couple of nites ago, he told Bill O'Reilly that the surge worked beyond his wildest dreams. Obama is a fake, it's evident. He flip flops. He will say and do anything just to try to get votes. Don't believe him. America is rejecting him now, as is noticed in the polls and the loss in electoral votes. Even the media, it seems, is turning their backs on their "darling"!

McCain/Palin 08!
"Country First!"

Obama is ready to be President. McCain all he does is talk about POW. His mind does not realize it is senility staring. He did greta service to our country, now we need him to retire. He can even pick one of the seven houses he does not remember he has.

McCain's economic advisor, Phil Gramm, was instrumental in getting many of the oil/gas/energy businesses deregulated. He really helped out his wife who was an Enron executive. But we're just a bunch of whiners.

Chattyway:

*STANDING OVATION* Have you considered a run for political office with all that common sense of yours? Seriously. We need common sense in the government.

.
Bailout Bernanke has been a disaster. The FIRST order of business for President McCain will be to replace him with somebody who is as concerned with the financial health of average American citizens as they are about incompetent CEOs and Wall Street investors.

/

Obama is doing the tv-circus again. They stopped hazzeling Obama about debating and he always preferred the cozy tv-interviews. Tv's been good to him.

Debates are what presidents make and Obama and Obama lobbyist won't get away with trying to buy the election.

Those of you who think on the basis of this report that Obama has a competitive advantage on 'seeming Presidential' or on a 'command of these issues' crack me up.

What spewed out of his mouth is Intro to Finance, sophmore level undergrad level...that anyone with any background in this stuff knows.

Common equity holders bear the upside and greatest risk...and they'll be mostly wiped out under this. Sub debt and preferred were left clean only to prevent the multiplier effect of the catastrophe since those shares are held by other banks.

McCain's far from perfect, don't get me wrong...but this mindless acquiescence and adolation to everything that falls out of his mouth...everything he's rehearsed in front of a mirror before giving...it's pretty sad.

THIS IS LIKE PUTTING A DRESS & LIPSTICK ON BUSH
==================================
Hee hee Whats the difference between Bush and Palin? Lipstick?

Obama rules! He is showing the GOPers for their true power hungry selves just like we had hoped...

All my life I've fought against walfare, now my own party is giving away trillions in tax dollars to Wall Street and the banks, the very people who ripped off the hard working Americans who paid the taxes. We get raped for years and now Lil Bush is paying them for doing it.

John McCain is the King of Panderers. He thinks us Hillary supporters are going to vote for him now that he picked Palin. He is wrong! The woman terrifies me. Do a little research on her religious background (pentacostal)and you will see why.

Obama: A part of the problem - not the solution (to anything)

James they are all Obama trolls. Probably BLACK or College punks maybe paid that have no idea how stupid Obama really is and why Stephanopoulos did not question the fact that the Government and McCain suggested the very same thing months ago.

Do a little research on Black Liberation Theology and Reverend Wright, you'll see why. Obama is nothing but a whitewashed tomb - crooked to the core and all of that will come out soon enough - hopefully BEFORE the election. Time to change the channel folks.

It is unbelievable how so many people have been brainwashed these last few years.

I don't think a government controlled by Pelosi, Reid, Obama, and Biden sounds like a good idea. Actually, it will be a huge disaster. You will get socialism and big government. You see, the bigger the government, the more money out of our pockets. If nobody gets this, then I really feel sorry for you.

I grew up in Spain, so I have lived and breathed socialism. And the nationalizing of the healthcare system, not great, just think government agencies and government jobs. Not good. But this is the liberal way. Socialism does not work!

Lifelong Democrat voting for McCain/Palin!

McCain/Palin 08!

Don't you republican trolls get tired of telling lies?

DNC spokeswoman Karen Finney issues a statement: "American flags were proudly waved by the 75,000 people who joined Barack Obama at the Democratic Convention. John McCain should applaud that, but instead his supporters wrongfully took leftover bundles of our flags from the stadium to play a cheap political stunt calling into question our patriotism. On the same day he agrees to join Barack Obama at Ground Zero on September 11, John McCain attacks the patriotism of Obama supporters who so proudly waved the American flag at our historic event in Denver just days ago."

Apparently lying is in the republican DNA.

The only thing Obama is ready for is the car wash.

This bailout is a failure of the Democratic Congress. And what is so newsworthy about Obama's saying it is "necessary" ... we wants Government Intervention into everything!!! Big government, big taxes ... change in your pocket for retirement!

Tomjoad1776, do you mean the same car wash that Caribou Barbie couldn't manage effectively?

Another hard hitting interview by George Step on top of us.

Tomjoad1776

Wouldn't trust him with my car

Well, of course he wants more government intervention. That's what his party is all about. Forget letting the market fix their own problems. Jump in there, spend billions of our taxpayer dollars and FIX IT FOR US since we are simply SHEEP waiting to be led to the slaughter!!!!

'But Obama said he'll only support such a government takeover if shareholders and executives of Fannie and Freddie don't profit from it."'
What a bold face lie, Let explore. The DNC argument against Sen.McCain and his public financing is that since Sen.McCain had a appearance of a federal guarantee that in itself adjusted the risk for him receiving a loan so it was profit. Well Hell so is what Sen.Obama is proposing, Next since the inception of those loans that the Government will assume the stock has reflected the rise in profits and has rose accordingly. How in the Hell is Sen.Obama going to live up to that statement???

wait a second.. you mean to tell me barack obama is in favor of "government intervention"??!! no waaaaay!!!! if you vote for him, you better get used to this.

All these government bailouts are going to be financed by... guess who... YOU and ME.

When you subsidize failure, you end up with moral hazard. If you don't know what moral hazard is, look it up.

We are headed in a terrible direction in this country if we allow our elected leaders to continue to destroy our future by all these bailouts. It's going to ruin the US dollar and destroy our courage to let failure be written off as failure instead of propping up the people who fail.

Guess what happens to the people who failed in leading these institutions? Nothing. They move on to a new job. The taxpayer is left holding the bill.

Obama got a sweetheart loan from a company that was instrumental in the mortgage meltdown. He should admit that he is part of the problem. A big part of the problem.

lizathome...

couldnt have said it better myself.

Obama is so arrogant. I hate the way he points his nose upward while he talks down to the very people who support him. I don't believe he is for anything other than himself. He's a driven ego-maniac and pathological liar.

stop the drama , vote Obama. Want the same, vote mccain

stop the drama , vote Obama. Want the same, vote mccain

stop the drama , vote Obama. Want the same, vote mccain

.
Fact is, hussein HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS ISSUE, which is being handled by those in authority to do something.

Nobody should give a frak what his opinion is on this subject - like most subjects.

/

If you asked McCain about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac he would respond. "Who?"
Just frop a bomb on them right McCain. That seems to fix anything. Remember when McCain was asked about the economy he stated that wasnt his strong point. If you cant shoot it, invade it, or scare it with threats, then McCain would be lost.
