"Lehman Brothers hired Jeb bush in 2007. 1 year later they are broke. Sound familiar?" - getoffmine

Really? Why am I not surprised? If Jeb was an employee, I would have figured that the gov''t would step in to save Lehman, since bush & co have interests in the company. Jeb is now working with the McCain campaign... he does know how to rig an election that Jebediah!

Can''t wait til this nightmare presidency is over!
Anyone else throwing a big party when bush is out?
;-D

America''s been taking a "pounding" ever since bush has been in office. It is only appropriate that the rest of the world get its turn.

Welcome to the outcome of Gramm-Leach-Bliley, the act which repealed safeguards in place since 1929. That repeal set the stage for this meltdown. McCain''s economic adviser (now in hiding) Phil Gramm was a main sponsor of the bill, and John McCain voted for it. As a lobbyist, Gramm worked successfully to short circuit the congress when it tried to put some reasonable regulation back in. When President McCain appoints his commission to investigate the cause of this financial collapse, they will have to investigate Phil Gramm and John McCain.

just like a liberal- take part of a statement and put it completely out of context.
