What now, Obama wants to just walk awaw from the mess he's created and start another? He has the attention span of a gnat.

Nobody I know makes a move because of tax rates.

Then the persons you know are fools.

Anybody who makes a move without considering the tax consequences is going to lose his a$$ets.

"Somebody stop this guy"

It's not this guy you need to stop. It's the majority of your fellow citizens.

WoW! I'm having TV commercial DejaVue....

There's a commercial in which congress is run by firemen. The Economy, Ecology and other little problems are solved in short order... the point being... I'm not sure.

But, anyway, I think Obama liked that commercial. He goes from one problem to another as though he's being scored on Jeapardy. This is all very over-whelming. The Trillions are adding up fast. The bailouts, stimuli, rebates, loans, mortgage assistance, etc are totaling over 10 Trillion Dollars so far. Somebody stop this guy - it's not TV, this is reality!

"You see, investors SELL when they believe they will be faced with HIGHER capital gains"

No, I do not. It's a matter of how much the investment will earn for me in comparison to alternatives in relationship to the risk of loss.

Some "traders" watch technical stats. Nobody I know makes a move because of tax rates.

badax...

You are wrong. This recession is most often dated as beginning in December of 2007.

When the Democrats took control of Congress in January of 2007 (after the 2006 election)... they had a very slim majority that was never "veto" proof. They were essentially a majority without a voice.
This is simple history.

The recession began under GW Bush's watch. He is not by any means solely responsible -- that distinction belongs to a perfect storm of government, business and personal irresponsibility.

While it is incorrect to blame Bush, it is far more incorrect to blame Obama. Declaring this mess should have been fixed in six weeks and two days is not a rational thought.


(I thought I posted something like this... but it never showed... so, if I'm double down... dang)

WillowOne, comrade means according to webster, a close friend or companion; a mate; an associate; so WillowOne does that describe you and Obama.

dhutch88... if your 401k has dropped 30% in the last six weeks (and two days) then you need to have your plan administrator investigated immediately.

Our (my family) investments have dropped, but this has occurred roughly over the last fourteen months.

The current recession started when Bush was president "on his watch" so to speak. No he was not solely responsible for the collapse -- that distinction goes to many, many facets of government, business and personal irresponsibility.

Please don't use unsubstantiated hyperbole if you mean to make a valid point.

The first thing that needs to be reformed in health care is to stop using tax dollars to treat people who eat, smoke, drink, or drug themselves into a medical condition.

I think Comrade Bam Bam has already produced more mess in less than TWO MONTHS than BUSH even dreamed of in 8 years!

How'd you like Comrade Bam Bam's lies about the $1.6 trillion dollars in savings from Iraq! He kinda left out that $1.6 trillion dollars in savings was calculated on funding the troops at surge level through 2019, WHICH IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY!!!!! BUSH already made the agreement for the troops to come in 2011!!! And it didn't have one thing to do with Comrade Bam Bam!

The American world is taking about healthcare reform but some people are writing about how to demonstrate that they are more intelligent that our actual president.
Well, I am taking about the healthcare reform. My opinion is that we must do like, we are doing with banks and insurances. We must stop the Mafioso handle from health insurance and take full control from this body of abuse. We are losing money and time in searching solution to somenthing that is total; rotten. The health care system insurance in America is a rotten system.

No, Slownewday, no black helicoptors swooping overhead, no black SUV's in the driveway, no house arrest, not a word from COMRADE OBAMA and his Hitler troops!

And NO, Texas foreclosures have in fact been going DOWN, not UP!

And your Comrade Obama just lied to the Health Care Summit claiming there's a bankruptcy every 30 seconds because of health care! The sociopathic pathological LIAR just can't stop lying!

How long will Obama supporters keep covering up his failures by blaming past presidents?

Why is this bozo giving healthcare to illegal immigrants, because it helps his agenda not because he cares about Americans. They are not Americans

PS - A hint... Nancy Pelosi would have to implement it....
