This was caused by Republican deregulation and devil-may-care lack of oversight.

think Obama has gotten his September surprise. His polls may go back up.

Palin will likely get an October surprise and McCain may be surprised that he may need to find a new running mate.

Now that would be wild.

The elitist Obama cares nothing about Americans!

You really look silly calling Obama an elitist while supporting McCain who has his own private jet to fly him between his 7 homes.

The financial crisis started when the democraps went to Congress.

Posted by StormeyOne

They were not the cause. Deregulation and lack of over sight was.

If McCain wants to show that he''s really going to be anything but a third Bush term, he should start by firing all of his lobbyist campaign advisers.

His top advisers are some of the very people responsible for this economic disaster.

Jeb Bush sat was on the podium supporting John McCain today as McCain campaigned in Florida.

The problem?

Jeb Bush is a PAID CONSULTANT for LEHMAN BROTHERS, the company that collapsed yesterday. He obtained the position with Lehman Brothers after having Florida purchase BILLIONS of DOLLARS of Lehman Brothers'' mortgage backed securities that are now WORTHLESS.

As Governor, Jeb Bush was one of three administrators on the State Board of Administration (SBA) that agreed to let the state''s retirement fund buy a series of mortgage-backed securities from Lehman Brothers that are now worthless. Jeb Bush also supported Lehman Brothers managing two funds for the SBA.

Jeb Bush''s reward for supporting his corporate sponsor? a "Consulting" contract with Lehman Brothers. I wonder if JEB will get paid as Lehman Brothers goes into bankruptcy? LMAO You bet he will.

What''s so surprising? After all, ALL OF McCAIN''S ADVISERS AND ALL OF HIS TOP CAMPAIGN STAFF are lobbyists or "consultants" for large corporations and the entrenched Washington special interests. So It should be no surprise Jeb Bush is right there behind McCain.
