I just can''t wait until John McCain gets in so he can fix all this mess he helped create. I can just picture Obama saying "Screw you all, I''m going to Canada".

You want to talk about panic?

I called my bank (BofA) last week and arranged to withdraw my entire savings account except for about $50--so they''''d still have to do administrative work accounting for it and send me monthly statements. That was about $122,000 in total. It takes about a week advance notice to withdraw a large amount of money.

They freaked! They transferred me to 3 different managers to ask why and to try to talk me out of it. But I stonewalled them and told them I was absolutely committed to doing it. Then they tried to arrange for a cashier''''s check, but I wouldn''''t have any of it. "Cash only, please!," I said.

When I finally came into my local branch, they took me aside and tried to talk me out of it again. When I refused, they took me aside, away from all the other customers, and tried to do it all VERY quietly so no one else would see. That just pissed me off more.

I said in a very loud voice, "No, I want to withdraw all my money right now, all $122,000 of it! The banking industry has lost my trust. You guys have been playing fast and loose with MY money for a long time and I don''''t like it!"

People''''s heads in line turned. The bankers couldn''''t wait until I left.

If they want my trust, they should reduce their leverage to a reasonable amount, say, 1:5. EARN my trust; it''''s not free.

More job losses? Thanks Bush. Thanks neocons. How much money did we spend on the Iraq War this month? A billion? More?

As if anyone actually needed MORE evidence that Bush and the neocons have destroyed that which we hold most dear.

Why doesn''t anyone talk about the TRUE unemployment rate? The 6.1% is only those people seeking unemployment benefits. It does NOT account for those who have exhausted unemployment benefits or those who have stopped looking for jobs, or the homeless.

Other nations measure REAL unemployment, not the sham figures that the US measures.

I agree. Its just that their ability to stare into the face of their abject failures and call them a success amazes me.

Unemployment remained steady at 6.1%. How is that an increase. The rate is unchanged. This is just another CBS liberal scare tactic story.

This is not some story created by CBS, you IDIOT! Is is a report released by the U.S. Labor Department! The 6.1 percent stayed the same because they don''t count people who have given up looking for work! The story is being reported by all media outlets, so stop blaming the so called Liberal Media!
