Can''t we just lock him up in a closet somewhere for the next 75 days? It''s too bad Obama can''t kick him to the curb immediately.

Here, let me fix your typo:

How much damage did Barny Frank wreck, because Barney Frank DID damage wrecks.

This "rat" of a president had one thing in mind when he took office - to rape and pillage the nation by handing out our tax dollars, often with no accountability at all let alone any responsibility, like candy to Iraq''''s and Afghan war lords to buy them off and then to hand over overpriced no-bid contracts to his war industrial complex buddies and now to give billions to corrupt greedy thugs and bankers on Wall street who have ruined our lives for the next 30 plus years. He has literally given away our national wealth to his rich friends. He must be tried for treason as no one is this inept - it was definitely done on purpose.

I agree with you, and have felt this way for over eight painful years! Nothing that Bush/Cheney have done has surprised me, unfortunately. But, I do believe that his daddy''s powerful friends will protect him to the end, again, unfortunately.

Elizabeth Dole Epitomizes why The GOP lost--

The use of fear--falsehoods--Character assassination

Trickery -- lies -- Goebbell''s style Propaganda ---

Mccarthyism --- Camouflaged Racism etc.

Have done them in!!!

However, I''m Glad God is off the leash

The GOP Thought they had Him on!!!!

Guess what? He''s not a Republican after all!!!

By the way Dumbya Bush Just Oversaw, and pushed through

The Nationalization of Freddie and Fannie--

And the Gov''t Buy In/Bail out of the Insurance Industry

Our major Financials -- and soon The Auto Industry---

Chavez is Proud of these Republican achievements

GOP --- The New Red Commies.

To all you Moron''s who wrongly believe Obama is a

Socialist---- The Real Socialist''s are Bush and Co.

Difficult dilemnas exist between the economic alliances and the military ones for our country.

The world has some entities who won''t accept our deifinition of economic status, or military alliance.

Wartime relations are always difficult when no one has clarity about who the USA is directing hostilities against.

The unspoken secret about Iraq is the NSA''s wishlist for a permanent military presence in the former Sadaam Hussien airport in the northern provinces of Iraq. This is supposed to help stablize the region for Israel and keep Iran and Syria "honest".

As for economic recovery, the unilateral closing of loopholes for world markets to control banks from over-extending themselves, is high on the agenda.

Institutional investors are moving funds around the world hunting for banks willing to take the risk. Greed is moving money out of the USA markets, and victimizing foreign ones.

It has been learned that the Great Emperor Bush II is frantic to get the $700 billion into the hands of Corporate and Financial America (and into the greedy hands of the CEO''''s CFO''''s and corporate presidents and other "big shots") before he leaves the "throne" in the Oval Office.

Apparently you missed the news item. The "$700 billion" bailout has been DIVERTED by the Treasury Department.

Instead of buying up subprime mortgages as promised, the money will be used to BUY STOCK IN BANKS.

Do you think there''s any CONFLICT OF INTEREST for the government to own stock in BUSINESSES IT REGULATES???

Do you suppose that might CHANGE SOME OF THE REGULATIONS to be more FAVORABLE TO THE BANKS?????

Don''t believe me? Do a Big Eye search for this new item (go ahead, go ahead):

"White House Defends Billions to Banks," from 10/30/2008

See for yourself how our government is getting MORE CRIMINAL BY THE HOUR. And most of those responsible HAVE BEEN RE-ELECTED.

It''s really unreal what''s happening. I''m glad Obama won, but Congress is going to be OUT OF CONTROL for the forseeable future.

Officially, he wants to show everyone that he is moving quickly to "fix" the economy of the near-bankrupt USSA, but rumors persist that the real reasons are that he wants Corporate and Financial America to get their money before Obama marches into the Oval Office and tells the mega-rich corporate big shots "NO MORE MONEY!".

In other words, the Great Emperor wants the "big shots" to get their bonuses, perks, and golden parachutes before Obama gets there and not leave him a dime to do anything with!

WHAT A GUY!!!!!!

SIG HEIL, I''M A !@#$%#$@&** AND PROUD OF IT!!!, BUSH!!!
sig heil, I''M STILL A MAVERICK, EVEN IF EVERYONE THINKS OF ME AS ON OLD STEER!!!, McBush!!!
sig heil, I THOUGHT AFRICA WAS A COUNTRY!!!, Palin!!!

The Dow Jones average went down 5% (nearly 500 points) in ONE DAY yesterday.

Not because of Obama, but because jerks like BARNEY "MELTDOWN" FRANK got re-elected by the idiot voters to spend ANOTHER SIX YEARS wrecking the economy with his shameless pandering giveaways to the poor.

Investors were disappointed not only that most of the incumbents got re-elected, but that THE AMERICAN PEOPLE STILL HAVEN''T LEARNED. They keep making the SAME STUPID MISTAKE OVER AND OVER and expect a different result (a.k.a. "CHANGE").

Electing Obama was a good first step. But "New Guy" Obama is VERY UNLIKELY to be able to stop the Democrat controlled Congress from running amok for at least the next two years until the mid-term elections for the Senate in 2010.

While the cat is a kitten, the RATS will play. DemocRATS, that is.

Still lookin'''' for those WMDs in Iraq...
Posted by IOWEIGN at 08:59 AM : Nov 06, 2008

Let''s not forget - BILL CLINTON originated the WMD lie with his desperate impeachment eve airstrike against Iraq, which he announced in a nationally televised speech. He ASSERTED that Saddam had WMD''s even though NONE WERE EVER FOUND either before or after his airstrike.

And we''re supposed to believe Clinton was TELLING THE TRUTH when he said it, but BUSH LIED when he said the same thing. We''re supposed to believe that Clinton''s airstrikes were PERFECTLY 100% SUCCESSFUL at destroying all remaining WMD, even though THEY HAD NEVER BEEN FOUND, SO THEIR LOCATION COULDLN''T POSSIBLY BE KNOWN.

Tell me - HOW do you totally and perfectly destroy a target when YOU DON''T KNOW FOR SURE WHERE IT IS?????

But we''re supposed to believe THAT, and believe that Bush was the LIAR.

RIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGHHHHHHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The rightwing can''t get over that their time of running roughshod over the American people is done. If ignorance is bliss then they should be the happiest people in the world.
