Why vote Obama?

Stinkin, I'll have to give you credit for teaching me something today. I didn't know what a Stahlhelm was and I had to go look it up, thanks.

Glad to be of service, obviously. You gonna chrochet a couple, with Christmas coming up?

I'm glad to know you have something to hang on to out of all of this. You never did say what country you are from.

A new study from UCLA shows that FDR's policies, rather than ending the Great Depression, actually prolonged it by 7 years.

As the US slides towards a depression that ultimately has some of its roots in Dem social policies, do we really want the House, Senate, and White House going to Dems who intend to implement FDR-type government programs?

Tighten your belts, everyone.

And related to the CRA, I laughed through the tears to hear Barney Frank spew about "reform" and more regulation - this coming from the idiot who for the last 5 years blocked reform of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, while claiming there were no problems with them. The only thing he could do to help the situation is resign.

Even Bill Clinton blamed Frank and other Congressional Dems for the problem. The Democratic Congress has an approval rating half that of President Bush, and we want to elect more Dems? Insanity.

I actually heard this yesterday from my client; a reasoned and intelligent CEO. This is not unlike my "Bar Stool Economics" thread which shows the dangers of governmental interference into basic free market forces. I swear, some left wingnuts actually think they can alter the supply-demand axiom. This is sheer lunacy. Apparently, it's Rooseveltian.

I worry about the current liberal Congress being caressed by what would be the most liberal president we will have ever had. The financial markets will not like this and the worsened economic malaise will trickle down to those 95% getting the big give away. And when that happens, the shit will hit the fan. You think things are bad now? Who the hell would they blame then? Surely not themselves...
EDIT: I did a little rewording of the second paragraph for clarity.

From the evil MSNBC .... too funny.

It appears that McCain has been linked to Rashid Khalidi..too funny, and McCain was trying to use it to nail Obama that donated $80.000 to a Khalidi cause when in fact McCain had forgotten he donated $480.000 back when Khalidi represented the PLO.

You cannot write this stuff funnier.

And then there is Palin and Giuliani selling this bull to the Jews in Florida (as apparently Khalidi is anti-semetic) only to discover McCain has a closer association to him and ...wait for it...Ayers...OMG!!

I love this silly season, what ever am I to do from Wednesday?

One of the things you can trust in life is for an economist to make up crap theories and predictions. One economist thats bucked the trend is Gillian Tett who predicted that we were heading into recenssion 2 years ago.

Dang! talk about stupidity and mean, unfortunately that sort of reaction is becoming an expected behavior. In Plano, Texas a mother was caught keying all cars in her kids school parking lot which had an Obama sticker on it.

Serves them right always looking for handouts, the little commies.

Now look. Obama has an illegal alien aunt, and he didn't even know it. She also has been funneling him funds illegally, about $250. This could be October surprise Palin / McCain need!

I'm sure you news savvy guys are aware similar things are happening on your side as well. You may have missed it, as it's probably not on MSNBC.
