When this bill was signed into law on October 3, 2008, this day became the first day of our next crisis. Washington has passed the bill and now is going to attempt to figure out how to implement it.
This gives every Company on Wall Street and their lawyers as well as politicians time and ways to position themselves for the next ECONOMIC RAPE of America.
700 Billion dollars is not enough money to protect against the collapse of 180 trillion dollars of derivative debt ...... it is simply to buy a little time.

Whether voters will somehow hold Obama responsible for the Fannie Mae collapse because of what is at best a slight association with its former head, Franklin Raines is open to question.
But is it a coincidence that he is also associated with Ayers/Dorhn, Flager/Wright and with Tony Rezko, and the Iranian/Iraqi sources of the money he gave Obama?
This Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac stories make Enron look miniscule!!

Mr Tyrrell, several things I've found about a TRUE REPUBLICAN, 1. They think their always right. Even if they must LIE to prove it! 2. Even if they KNOW thier wrong, they wouldn't admit it if their tongue was on fire. Besides they KNOW THEIR always right and you WON'T prove to them any different. 3. The Republican party (and the Republican voter) never believes the part of history that includes the good a Democrat politician has done for this country.. 4. IF a Democrat does good in the oval office, it's ONLY because a Republican led the way. SO YOU Mr. Tyrrell are wasting your valuable breath by trying to convince any Real OLD Republican to vote any other ticket BECAUSE, They are to hard headed, to stuck in their own, old ways, and will resist ANY change in this country even IF it may be for it's own good because, BY GOD, (BTW, they own the rights to god too) IT JUST WASN'T AND ISN'T GOING TO BE DONE ANY WAY, UNLESS IT's DONE THEIR WAY, NO MATTER WHAT!

To Citizen....I have to wonder how you figure the McCain ticket to be less divisive than the Obama ticket. Palin & McCain have both shown cronyism and want to overturn abortion rights....which most mainstream Americans don't want.
McCain also doesn't think my insurance carrier should have to cover birth control pills. Sarah Palin thinks that even if i'm abstinent but manage to get raped while walking home from a second job that i have to take since they're against raising the minimum wage that I will: not only lack the birth control pills to prevent pregnancy because most likely they prevented my insurance from covering them.....but I could also be FORCED to carry the child to term....& obviously risk losing one or both jobs in the process....and be shunned as a slutty single mom on welfare....since the republicans don't seem to think much of people who need help...oh unless you're a CEO...lol
So I just don't see that as a ticket with the ideology that unites us. If I were a rich person then maybe Mccain....but I don't know too many of those people around here.

Obama isnt going to win this election. I personally am voting the GOP ticket and am honest enough to say so. But I fear Obama will suffer the "Bradley" factor. In 1982, Mayor Tom Bradley thought he was going to be elected Governor of California. The polls were showing a comfortable victory for him. When the votes were counted, Bradley lost. Exit polls showed he was the clear winner, but when the votes were tallied, he wasnt even close. People of all color stated on their exit polls that they voted for Bradley, when in fact they lied. I personally dont care for Obama on several of his issues, not his color. And I will not vote for him on that.

Gov. Palin faced down the Soviet threat while Governor of the great state of Alaska, which is something no other governor of any state can claim to have done.
She single-handedly cleaned out the corruption of the state and made drilling for oil a possibility again.

Part of Obama's appeal used to be that he was calculating and careful with the words he spoke, apparently not anymore.

Letter for the editor:
After reading Ed Tyrell's opinion letter of September 13th, "Patriotic people don't fear the truth" I've got to hand it to him and his fellow Democrats. You guys are the best! Really, I mean it, you are the best! No one has proven to be better over the past decade at character assassination and character destruction than so many members of your party.
The theme of most Republican bashing opinions I read these days is that McCain is not only a "liar", but Tyrell has also branded him a "coward." Excuse me? It goes on and on.
Name calling is great for those who are wallowing in bitterness and cowardly deal in tossing about "cheap shots." I would love to see so many of these Democratic hate mongers deal in reality and fairness rather than being "assassins."
Shame on you, this is not the Democratic Party I once embraced.

I am wondering about what McCain means by 'overhauling programs such as Medicare and social security'.

I do not fear the truth! No matter how painfull it is, I always want to know what it is! Ed, neither candidate is going to stay the course if they win. We still have yet to have a President that will do that. Our Congress and Senate are in the same boat as far as I am concerned. Once they are in there, they all seem to forget who put them there and then the games begin. I have always said "the proof is in the pudding" People vote for either of the two main parties because they think they have to vote for them. That is what is nice about Democracy, there are always more then two choices on a ballot. GOP, Dem, Indep, or Write in's. Sounds crazy to those who think with their College Degrees instead of their brains, but it can happen!

Today while watching the news and seeing one of Obama's 400 advisors, the fact came up in the conversation being watched that the tax increase would be on the top 2 brackets, $150,000 and higher.
Now that number is quite different from $250,000. They were also not very clear on on the tax rebate being offered.
If by providing a tax rebate to all persons under the figure of $150,000 regardless of the amount you have paid.
I have two issues with this:
1.) The figure has already come down $100,000 in the last month and I would bet dollars for doughnuts that it will come down more, like it did in the 90's.
2.) Why should someone who hasn't paid taxes and actually got a refund for the year be allowed to recieve a rebate on taxes never paid, can you say WELFARE?

Obama does have a lot of experience in being a slick con man and changing his position each time the wind blows. He tries to be all things to all people.
