"The American people would be troubled if I selected....in one of the most critical times in our nations history (someone) who had no experience in government whatsoever."

Is he kidding?????

Hey BARRY, that didnt seem to bother the dolts who swallowed your line of crap hook line and sinker.

Besides they are too busy waiting for you to buy their gas and pay their mortgage

Obama is certainly not interested in the war on terror. His appointment of Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano as secretary of Homeland Security signals a focus on immigration issues rather than on fighting terrorism — a dark day for the U.S.
I wonder how he will react when we get hit again--- as Biden had warned us. Will he then give some concern that the terrorist are still a BIG threat.
Economics and terrorism go hand in hand and we must be strong on all fronts.

This should sober up some of the blue state voters that vote in the big spenders.

A leading Russian political analyst has said the economic turmoil in the United States has confirmed his long-held view that the country is heading for collapse, and will divide into separate parts.

Professor Igor Panarin said in an interview with the respected daily IZVESTIA published on Monday: "The dollar is not secured by anything. The country's foreign debt has grown like an avalanche, even though in the early 1980s there was no debt. By 1998, when I first made my prediction, it had exceeded $2 trillion. Now it is more than 11 trillion. This is a pyramid that can only collapse."

The paper said Panarin's dire predictions for the U.S. economy, initially made at an international conference in Australia 10 years ago at a time when the economy appeared strong, have been given more credence by this year's events.

When asked when the U.S. economy would collapse, Panarin said: "It is already collapsing. Due to the financial crisis, three of the largest and oldest five banks on Wall Street have already ceased to exist, and two are barely surviving. Their losses are the biggest in history. Now what we will see is a change in the regulatory system on a global financial scale: America will no longer be the world's financial regulator."

Hey, THRIVING in the system, you sure sound like Sickofthelibs to me, thought you were sleeping, but I guess not, just hiding under a new name.

You guys still don't get it. BUSH got us in this mess, BUSH and all of his boys will leave the white house with more money than they came with, laughing all the way to the bank. In the mean time you sit here on this blog trying to convince everyone that this situation that the country is in has nothing to do with Bush, the republicans, Poulsen, wall street greed, CEO greed or anyone else that is in office today, be it corporate or government, and all fault belongs to the democrats. The funny thing is, only 43% of Americans bought that, but you guys still do not give up.

I would rather hear from someone in office that can complete a sentence, than to hear from someone who thought Joe the plumber was a true American. True Americans pay their taxes, true Americans do not have to lie about their status in life on national television.

Don't get me wrong John McCain was a true American, but just like Bush he was out of touch with the everyday American. Palin was just plain out of touch with everyday everything.

There is no doubt in my mind that had McCain been elected we would be faced with the same people who got us in this mess in his cabinet. Only a fool would surround himself with unexperience and that would mean, the same republicans running things had McCain won, because lets be real, the man was old.

Many Americans were tired of being BUSHWACKED. Whatever "Barry" (as you like to call him) does could not be any worse than what Bush has already done and continues to do, with his now total lack of concern for the working American (the real Joe the plumber). After all if your a major bank in trouble you get a bailout under Bush/Poulson, but if you are a small bank or a everyday person behind in your mortgage you get nothing under Bush/Poulson.

Terrorist drove two planes into the World Trade Center in 2001 and brought them down killing many Americans. Yet under Bush we still have not found the man responsible. We have cameras on the road on I-95 in Connecticut that can focus in and the people controling them can read the menu inside the McDonalds, but Bush with all the resources available to him, cannot still find the person responsible for 911. COME ON! However do not be surprised, if we find him just before Bush goes out of office, because that perhaps would be the only thing that would keep him from being noted as the worst President in modern times.

IO, wherever we are BUSH put us there. If your argument is he did not put us there, then I would say he did nothing to stop where we were going.

The bottom line is, like it or not Barack Obama is the President Elect. While I never liked the fact that GW was elected, at least I gave him a chance to get in office to prove me wrong. However in true George Bush fashion he never did prove me wrong though.

Dean--- your information and comment is based on media or DNC hype. What facts do you have to support your argument about Bush? I think if check into the history you will see the Storm clouds were rising long before Bush took over and were continued during the Bush Admin. Bush can be criticized for not aggressively trying to make Congress do their job and repeal some of their crazy legislation-- but that is about all. He liked the sub-prime housing boom because it promoted ownership and Congress like it because it was bringing in more tax money. But then reality struck and the "house of cards" fell which has caused surprise, panic and blame.
Now we have stock market that has lost trillians and a bond market that is relatively stable for now. Obama Adminstraton will accomplish a gain in the stock market until his promise of increasing capital gains. By April of 2009, the ballooning deficit, the deepening recession, and investors' desire to cash out of stocks and family-owned businesses at the 15% capital gains rate on a stock market high — rather than waiting for Obama's 20% or 25% rate and lower prices — will trigger anoother stock reversal.

Fact Poulson hand picked Liddy to head AIG. Fact Liddy, Poulson and our Vice President all have ties. Fact they will laugh all the way to the bank in January. That is not DNC or Media hype, but for reasons of my own I have followed the career of Liddy.

Fact major banks are being bailed out while smaller banks have been allowed to fail. Fact regular people in trouble with their mortgage have to be 3 months in the rear in order to try to get help, which is not guarenteed. Fact everyone loved the sub-prime housing boom while it lasted, including those who now have over financed houses because of it.

While everyone was caught up with sub prime, fact was, there was also no one watching wall street as it turned itself into Vegas East. The fact remains that until someone regulates both Banking and Wall Street this mess will continue no matter who is President.

Again, IO, If your argument is he (Bush)did not put us there, then I would say he did nothing to stop where we were going.

Dean--- Do I take it you are a conspiracy theorist? One small point-- it is easier for the Fed to manage a few large banks than many small banks. So it makes sense that the government would let a few small banks fail while helping the larger ones. I think it a matter of management of the situation. I don't think the government wants any bank to fail. Besides the banks that failed, the folks got their money because of FDIC.
As IO has asked, what specifically did President Bush do to cause this economic meltdown. I can name some things he did not do, but what did he do? Or are you like many others that like to bash people without substance.

" I can name some things he did not do, but what did he do? "

OK...NAME THEM THEN....and then I'll proceed to give you the 99 others you missed...

What did he do??? It's the fact that he did NOTHING in almost every respect...and that's far more than enough of what "he did", to cover it.....

"This should sober up some of the blue state voters that vote in the big spenders."

Another winning comment from the "alcoholic observer"....maybe when YOU sober up, you'll figure out that Bush was BY FAR, the biggest deficit spender of all time.....oh yeah, and by the way, McCain's projected contribution to the Natl hole, was bigger than Obama's....glad to see you're still so "independent"....
