- Bush is not even close in the running for worse. In mordern times, Jimmy Carter was the biggest failure. He did more damage in his 4 years than Bush could ever do.

We were talking about deficits and national debt and you come in without a clue. Bush is the worst among Republican administrations--and Republicans have been consistently the offender in this case--as far as making those economic measures worse. - Reply to this comment
- What is McCain going to try to pull next?The debates should go on,period!
HE''ll do anything for a vote.This is another one of his stunts just like he did when he pulled Palin out of hat when he led his Party on saying 1 of 3 will be his VP pick.He doesn''t want to continue his campaign or ads but he''s sending Palin to PA so what''s the telling the American People?
We Need No More Stunts from the McCain Camp
A President should be able to do many tasks at a time not put all of them in a bag and pick one of the numbers out saying I''ll work on this today.If he too old mentally then he''s not the one that has the ablity to be President.
About this bail out.Other Countries are involve in this with their money and this is why we need to have the bail out.What about the regular American People who have lost jobs,homes,healthcare?Who bails them out?
All the CEOs that took buy out packages should get a big O and John McCain has been different on this.He feels it depends on what kind a buy out a CEO had to begin with.
President Bush should have had his talk to the people a few weeks ago.He''s like a day late and a dollar short.

- By the way, I''''m not filled with hatred, so I can be objective. Also, I did not vote for Bush either time.

Exactly couldn''t of said it better. Once you get past your hatred and realize we are actually safer because of Bush it would surprise them. - Reply to this comment
- Only 8(Clinton) Years of the last 28 Years we were in good shape. 1 Trillion for Iraq and 700 billion for stupid irresponsible corporations.
Now we can''t fund Social Security, have to cut unemployment, neglect fixing roads and bridges, cut defense spending and education, make healthcare and college affordable and fix the economy.

- I was on the fence until McCain picked Palin. I WILL NOT vote for McCain because of Palin. She is anti-woman, anti-choice, and will do everything in her power to reverse the progress that women have made in the past 20 years.

Aggie I like you, you really seem level headed I just don''t think Palin is against everything about women. I mean if your pro choice that is one thing. But to think she is anty women just because she values a baies life and don''t think abortion should be concider birth control doesn''t make her less of a human. I mean as extreme as every one says she is with pro life obama is at the complete other end of teh spectrum
I know the Obananation don''t want to beleive it because Obama has siad they are lying but it s not hard to go to the Il. senate records and see it. He did vote 3 times to block help for babies serviving botched abortions and one of those bills were identicle to the fedral bill. - Reply to this comment
- That theory works good except banks have no way a knowing how many times these people take vaction or if they eat at mcdonalds or decide they can afford steak. So no I don''''t believe it is the banks responsiblity to make people give them a list of every penny they spend. It falls on the person who takes the loan to make sure they can afford it. Because all a bank look at is you major expenses.

Financial ratios don''t lie. They won''t assure every loan will get repaid but it guarantees that a certain number will. The borrower has to take an active role of misrepresenting his financial condition--in other words, to declare fraudulent financial information--for these ratios to all of a sudden no longer work. - Reply to this comment
- New Rasmussen poll shows Obama with 49% in NORTH CAROLINA and Mccain with 47%!!!!! Bye, bye MCLIAR!!!!

Oh yeah...I''m not disputing that at all. If you saw my earlier posts, I don''t like Clinton.

- Mr. Obama, we are not in the mood to listen to any debates or campaign rhetorics. Get to work and do your duty as a lawmaker senator, especially during time of national crisis. Country first, and self interest or ambition or showmanship last.

McCain, a Republican, putting country first? Now, there should be a medal in this. - Reply to this comment
- Funny thing, though. I owe almost as much in student loans as I do on my house.
And a friend of mine is a mortgage broker...you should see some of the applications he gets. The "no-doc" loans were absolutely ridiculous, and he agreed, but they were allowed by law to get loans without supporting documentation.
He predicted that all of this would happen. - Reply to this comment
- So I did my own research. I''''m an MBA. I looked up the facts myself.

- Biggest thing is property tax. Then utilities..

Yeah, that''s the truth.
But they are paying a mortgage. And thank God the property taxes are included with the mortgage payment.
I owned land once, and the property taxes weren''t included in the payment. Once a year I had to come up with several thousand dollars, and it was difficult.
I now own a home, and I''m glad that the taxes are in escrow. It makes it easier to be responsible. - Reply to this comment

- ''Bush has faced challenges Clinton never dreamed of. Clinton had a an easy ride compared to Bush. It is wrong to compare the amount of monet each needed to spend.''
Giving huge tax cuts to the wealthy and billion-dollar no-bid contracts to their business cronies...how big a challenge can that be? Republicans have accelerated the deficits and national debt every administration they control. It''s not just Bush though he is going down in history as the worst. - Reply to this comment

Actually, I went to the GAO website, and pulled the national budgets for the past 20 years, and assembled them all into a spreadsheet.
Then I found that all of the information was neatly displayed in a table format on Wikipedia.
So I did my own research. I''m an MBA. I looked up the facts myself. - Reply to this comment

- "The blame falls primarily on the iresponsible people who signed for the loans knowing they could not pay them back. "
The banks bear a greater share of the blame in this. They are the professionals and have more knowledge as to what loans borrowers can afford to take on. There are various financial ratios that deal with this. So unless the borrowers misrepresent their financial standing, which would constitute fraud, it''s mostly the banks'' fault. They have a greater understanding of the risks involved and they know when a loan is risky. Which is why regulation would have prevented this mess by removing banks'' discretion to give out risky loans in pursuit of short-term gains. - Reply to this comment
- I don''''t know the details off hand, but do a search on "Freddie Mac McCain" and you''''ll see.
