That"s what they do.

I have never yet heard any of them attribute Bush"s good economic news to Clinton, though.

And you never will, the Bush dead-enders would rather be flogged by their own cut out tongues than admit Clinton did anything positive.

Bush"s answer yesterday, when some school kids asked what is the best way to honor MLK Day:

"Love your neighbor."

That was really deep.

The man"s profundity is just awesome.

That was rather sad wasn''t it. He also said ''volunteer in your community''.

Someone should have told Valerie Bertinelli about that website.

[iceman_1960]

No thanks.

I like "em slim.

If it will happen, we have nothing to fear then. It is not the first of economy slowdown in our memory. Take it easy. Btw, any plus-sized friend here? Go Plussingle.com.

In addition to the War on Terror, the U.S. needs a War on Incompetency.

Bush is the enemy in that one.

The disaster that the GOP leadership in Congress and the Presidency for the last 7 years has inflicted on the US and the globe is staggering.

Bush and Cheney MUST be impeached for their crimes against humanity!!!

"The end to the slides in Asian stocks is nowhere in sight," he said. "There is even speculation that China may be exposed to the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis."

Dubya was so fixated on the hyped up "threat" of Iranian nukes (the Right Wing version of Global Warming) that he didn"t see this coming at all.

He may get his World War III yet, but it won"t be with Iran.

"Simple, all Bush supporters subscribe to the economic lag theory. Reagan"s recession were due to LBJ, while daddy Bush"s recession was a direct result of Carter. Dubya"s first recession was a result of Clinton''''s first term while Dubya"s second recession is a direct result of Clinton"s second term."

All I want to know is if compassionate conservatism allows for soup lines.

Reuters posted the story 29 minutes ago.

(I missed that. I would have edited it out.)

"Futures fall further after Paulson comments 29 minutes ago"

As the nation slumps into recession, I wonder how the GOP will be able Bill Clinton for it.

"Futures fall further after Paulson comments 29 minutes ago

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sock index futures fell further towards session lows on Tuesday after Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said the U.S. economy slowed materially in recent weeks."

Huh ?

I thought everybody knew that already.

Get ready for the markets to drop like a rock at the opening.

Gosh, imagine that! It''s well known the Chinese have been funding US debt, so of course they''ll be caught when debtors don''t pay.

Welcome to capitalism, Comrades!

Of course if the Bushit adminstration hadn''t increased the national debt by about $4 trillion, we might be able to finance our own debt.

But nooooo! Thanks, Bushits!

THE FED JUST MADE AN EMERGENCY CUT OF 3/4 OF A POINT!

Do you ever get the feeling that voodoo economics has reached it''s endgame and the failures are so colossal that each time they apply bubblegum to a fissure five more appear.

If anyone recalls Japan lowered its lending rate to zero in the nineties without any stimulus coming from it.

Whoever thought up the sub-prime mortgage needs to be held accountable. People in the lower end of the economic scale don''t have the smarts to understand they can''t afford what a sub-prime mortgage entails. To lend them money is just dumb. I always thought a bank employee should treat the money as though it was THEIR money they were lending out, and any losses incurred would come out of THEIR pay stub. Instead, it seems they thought it was "somebody else''s problem".
Now we are ALL up the creek without a paddle. I wonder if someone could figure out bringing all the troops home from Iraq, right now, would settle the economy down. Not sure that would happen, but it might be interesting to do the math.
