Stay away from the car , Barry , cause you just got a ticket yesterday .

Hey Barack, don’t you hate it when your “enemies” beat you?

He will be doing a lot of revisions. Like calling those who dare to disagree with him, “the enemy”. The man is an idiot.

Electric cars.

I bottle sunshine and rainbows to power my home.

I’m mildy surprised that Big Enema – a thrice-proven liar – still sticks his snout in here. “Mildly” because some neocons have no shame – or conscience.

His “enemies” didn’t beat him. YOUR enemies beat him . . . AND you You don’t know it yet. You will.

He immediately apologized for the “enemies” reference. Like dogs, you’ll never forget.

Harvard does not graduate “idiots.” YOUR school obviously makes exceptions.

I’m pretty sure I heard him say push the bus, not the car. That’s what I’ll keep repeating anyways.

How about this: let obama push the car out of the ditch with a stimuluis, but before he leaves, i’ll loosen 4 or 5 lugs on each of the wheels.

NO. He did not immediately apologize……you fool! He later said that he should have not used the word enemies. And his “oops-sorry” was after his aids bitch slapped him for being such an IDIOT! He spoke from his heart when he used the word “enemies”. And you know it.

He spoke from his heart when he used the word “enemies”. And you know it.

Tony, that’s what happens when he forgets the teleprompter at home.

Few listen to him anymore!

Eat meat on Friday that’s alright
Even like steak on a Saturday night
I can ‘Ditch’ the best at your social do’s
I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue

I can Bitch, I can ‘Ditch’
`Cause I’m better than you
It’s the way that I move
The things that I do..uh..uh..uh

Barry . Joe Sestak called . He’ll take that job now .

Well, perhaps the car needs its oil changed or maybe it just needs gas. So, how bout, the republicans can start by draining the oil while the democrats walk down to Texaco to get gas. Meanwhile, the tea party can do its part by checking the air pressure in the tires and the green party can put gravel down under the tires for traction just in time for the independents to push the car out of the ditch, then suddenly Michael Bloomberg jumps into the drivers seat, throws it in first gear and floors it down Interstate 2012. — sorry, someone had to take this analogy to its absurd conclusion.

Still won’t admit you were caught lying? Still not surprised.

Obama publicly regretted his use of the word . . . fool.

“He spoke from his heart when he used the word “enemies”. And you know it.”

Apparently YOU know it. New Ouija broad?

You can now go hide under your bed with your gun, again.

Citation/proof of “hiding” records? Maybe it’s stashed with his birth certificate? Sheesh.

You’d think if Republicans win they’d be a little graceful .. but not so, some funny comments in this thread. Says alot about the commenters XD

The smartest thing Obama can do is to let businesses create jobs. The Republicans will work with him on this. And businesses actually know how to create productive jobs — which is more than you can say for the government. I doubt Obama will accept this approach, since he prefers to demonize, tax, regulate and control business. But if he would stop thrashing business owners and cut them some slack, the economy would actually recover, and Obama might do a bit better in the next election. Just sayin’….

Brian Monroe: +1

…and somewhat unrelated, but did you catch the business exec on CNBC last night, who suggested (among other names and GOP retreads) David Gergen for CofS and Bloomburg for the Fed?

Now he wants to “compromise”?

No Barry, we didn’t elect these Republicans to “compromise” on government takeover of our freedoms!

To paraphrase your words Barry, on the subject of “compromise” – WE WON!

So you’re opposed to regulations? You really believe REGULATIONS are why so many Americans are unemployed? You’re not going to believe this, but the repeal of Glass-Steagall regulations brought about the recession. Regulations we had in place for 66 years without another Depression… until it was repealed. When Congress repealed Glass-Steagall in 1999, those who opposed the repeal predicted we would have another Depression within 10 years… and every 10-15 years after that without replacement regulations. You seem to believe that our economy was in the toilet for the 66 years we labored under Marxist Regulocracy with Glass-Steagall. You’re wrong.

Here’s an article about a financial industry that is reasonably regulated and how it weathered the recession:
http://accounting.smartpros.com/x69847.xml

Here’s an article from 1999 about the recently passed repeal of Glass-Steagall (read spookily accurate predictions here):
http://www.nytimes.com/1999/11/05/business/congress-passes-wide-ranging-bill-easing-bank-laws.html

In case you’re too busy to click the link:

“”We should be proud of the performance of our financial system during the crisis,” said Finance Minister Jim Flaherty in an interview with The Associated Press.

He recalled visiting China in 2007 and hearing suggestions “that the Canadian banks were perhaps boring and too risk-adverse. And when I was there two weeks ago some of my same counterparts were saying to me, ‘You have a very solid, stable banking system in Canada,’ and emphasizing that. There wasn’t anything about being sufficiently risk-oriented.’”

The banks are stable because, in part, they’re more regulated. As the U.S. and Europe loosened regulations on their financial industries over the last 15 years, Canada refused to do so. The banks also aren’t as leveraged as their U.S. or European peers.

There was no mortgage meltdown or subprime crisis in Canada. Banks don’t package mortgages and sell them to the private market, so they need to be sure their borrowers can pay back the loans.”

I mean, instead of just listening to a pundit (I have never watched MSNBC – and no, I don’t live under a rock :), why not read about how people manage their finances elsewhere? The United States didn’t just pop into existence, the Founding Fathers took ideas from around the world, fine-tuned them and made them unique. We should still be doing that. Regardless of party affiliation!

“The Conservative Party government of Stephen Harper that took over from Martin’s Liberals in 2006 broadly stuck to his predecessor’s approach, [regulations] though he cut taxes and, when recession struck, pumped stimulus money into the economy, with the result that Canada again has a large deficit.

But it is recovering from the recession faster than others, and although its deficit is currently at a record high, the International Monetary Fund expects Canada to be the only one of the seven major industrialized democracies to return to surplus by 2015.”

We should learn from this, instead of arguing over whether Boehner is orange and if it’s politically correct to comment on it. Just my humble opinion.

You have absolutely no understanding of economics if you think Glass-Steagall’s repeal (promoted by Clinton, by the way) cause the financial meltdown. Do you even understand Glass-Steagall? Do you think the small town banks that went broke giving out bad mortgages were involved in security underwriting? Do you think citizens failing to pay off loans, given with no down payment and for under water after a small decline in housing prices, has anything to do with distinctions between which banks can issue securities? Do you even have any idea how many banks went into security underwriting after the end of Glass-Steagall? Do you have a bloody clue about any of this?

No, you don’t. Or you wouldn’t make such hare-brained claims.

I suggest you do some research and hard thinking. Meanwhile, I will explain in simple language that even you can understand what caused the meltdown. Now listen carefully…..Are you listening?….Here it is…..BANKS, PRODDED BY DEMOCRATS LIKE BARNEY FRANK, GAVE MORTGAGES TO PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T HAVE A HOPE IN HELL OF PAYING THEM BACK. I suggest you stop fretting about Glass-Steagall, because you could send the whole securities business overseas (and probably will if the Democrats pass any more regulation) and it wouldn’t do a single thing to fix the mess your boys in D.C. created for us.

You’re obviously not paying attention: “There was no mortgage meltdown or subprime crisis in Canada. Banks don’t package mortgages and sell them to the private market [because Canadian financial industry regulations do not allow this practice], so they need to be sure their borrowers can pay back the loans.” In other words, as much as you believe Barney Frank is an asshole, REGULATIONS could prevent Barney Frank or any other asshole from “giving mortgages to people who didn’t have a hope in hell of paying them back.” Since Barney Frank single-handedly created the “ant” that is this recession, we should definitely have regulations in place to prevent this demon from creating another “ant-like” recession. And I don’t have any “boys” in D.C. I’m not a Democrat, if that is what you’re implying.
