"Worst president ever. Posted by smurfcrusher at 11:00 AM : Aug 02, 2008"

Sadly true. It''s not even arguable at this point that GW and Co. totally trashed the United States in eight short years of unbridled greed. The situation now is even serious to get the attention of the brain dead 51% that voted for him.

Just one more problem with the Republican Way of secrecy.

They can tell you there''s no hole in the ship, but lies won''t keep you from drowning.

This is what happens when Republicans ignore the big picture and follow their ideology.

Stupidity is not an asset.

Worst president ever.

See, see, I told you this economy is the worse since the Great Depression.

This is the "breakdown crisis" that Lyndon Larouche keeps talking about: larouchepac.com

You stupid Republicans have really blew it this time!

This is not a recession like that was passed on to Jimmy Carter back in the 70''s, na,na, na...

This is worse financial crisis in modern times and will usher in a "New Dark Age" if we stay the course.

All of these banks are not coming back because they are all bankrupt including the Federal Reserve System.

You Republicans better leave "fantasyland" right now and read up on this stuff.

And quit listening to these junkyard dogs on the radio like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh because they have been wrong on everything for so long.

And especially quit listening to that stupid clown Republican Treasury Secretary Hank the Snake Paulson!

This guy takes the cream of stupidity. He''s been saying and continues to say that the economy is "healthy" and that the financial markets are "sound and vibrant".

This guy from Goldman Smacks needs to be fired immediately!!!! if we wish to SAVE AMERICA!!!!

Who''s going under next Friday?

If you have over $100,000 in one bank account then you''re pretty stupid.

Check your accounts. If you have more than $100k in any bank read the FDIC website and make appropriate adjustments to be sure all your funds are insured.

I wouldn''t leave MY money in there, the feds might "insure'' deposits to $100,000 but this is the SAME entity who continues to repeatedly stave off bankruptcy itself by voting in higher ceilings on borrowed money, that''s why we owe almost ten trillion dollars now.

"Bank Failure" simply means the money has been stolen, so now the bank has to close.

The money was stolen through bad loans made possible by deregulation.

The federal government used to regulate banks to prevent this type of theft, since the federal government was insuring the accounts through the FDIC.

This is interesting, but yet somewhat expected. Small banks go under first, particularly ones that are directly, heavily involved with real estate. First the sunshine state of California, next the beaches of Florida .... and last ( I am betting on )the ficticous BS real estate of New York City.

Donald Trump, EAT your shorts for breakfast. You will join the rightful place in the soup-line.
