I thourght that if the BO wanted to he could wait until Congress was not in season and just appoint who he wants?

They can’t find one free of tax problems.

Wonder how many of our ElectedElite have their names on that UBS list of 47,000.

Gee, wonder if Soros or a Kennedy is on that list.

I am not a fear monger and I would never do this if the evidence right now doesn’t show this is coming.

We are headed for the Greater depression if the leadership doesn’t start opposing this Guy damn soon. I love REDSTATE, but we need to start screaming or we are all going to be deathly poor through wealth destruction or inflation destruction.

GET THROUGH YOUR DENIAL STAGE AND GET ANGRY!

BO and Geithner are doing this on purpose to destroy any economic opposition in the future from any enterprise. This is why they are incredibly absence and letting the crash occur + all the Limbaugh distraction.

THIS IS NO JOKE! I’ve studied every recession including the Great depression. This looks worse. Why? Because back then there were no other enterprise countries to replace our role + the government was not intentionally trying to destroy us.

Intentionally? Yes

Remember back during the election when BO was asked if he would raise taxes during a Recession. He was advised by 10 of the best economists who said that it would be a death nail to do that. BO said he would consider the circumstances and thought it would be a bad idea. Did anyone listen to Geithner’s testimony over the last couple of days. It was all about raising taxes – during a recession to boot!

CAN YOU SAY DOUBLE DEATH NAIL!!!!!!!!
The patient isn’t even dead yet and they are nailing that coffin shut

China and Russia can easily supply the world with goods and energy and our financial structure which we outsourced to the rest of the world and replace our role.

All that will be left of America is the vision of a debtor squatter not unlike that of these ACORN Protestors trying to save a Home for a NINJA borrower who should have gone into foreclosure back in 2007

THEN IT WILL BECOME MANDATORY TO PRAY TO THE MESSIAH, They call “The One” in order to get your Government handout!!!!

I am going to have to dig up my Fedora in my attic so that nobody recognizes me in the bread line.

“Who changed the Banking rules In Nov 2007 to mark to market which in the middle of the game paralyzed the Banks? Dems, Frank, Dodd, Geithner who was head of the NY Fed”

….. A Bush fault, according to CEO Forbes. (Go to WSJ and read for yourself.)

But of course, Forbes is another dimwit CEO.

So, I dunno, let me just try to understand what you’re saying, the markets saw who was going to get elected and started plummeting as a result. I’ve heard other people blame liberals for where we’re at are you saying the banks intentionally gave loans to people who couldn’t afford them while simultaneously relabeling them as safe loans? (And yes, the people who took them were dumb too, the problem goes both ways and has nothing to do with who ever was going to be elected). Then liberals created a second insurance market guaranteeing the awful loans for billions of dollars. And then the radical left orchestrated a resulting crash from the massive housing bubble. All of this resulting in a tremendous credit freeze due to a collapse of a rating system reliant upon trust of rating companies that had their interests vested in maintaining the system regardless of the potential future consequences. We had a market setup to significantly reward short term gains with no immediate incentive for long term investments. You’re ignoring all of the fundamental economic causes. All of this was going on while we had a massive gas price spike driving customers away from our traditionally profitable massive SUVs and trucks. Made worse by a credit freeze, plummeting consumer confidence resulting in massive losses from our second largest productive industry, that being the auto industry. And I should clarify that statement because I’m sure you’re going to hound me that banking and service industries are huge here, and they are but banking is going to hell too. So that’s 3/5 massive industries (forgot about the tech industry but they don’t employ nearly the same numbers). But our two fundamental industries that employ the most people locally and create large physical products are housing and the auto industry. So here we are and both of our largest producing industries plummeting with what used to be the heart of America (detroit, and the auto industry) going bankrupt and you’re telling me the stock market is plummeting because of predictions of increased corporate taxation and socialist policies due to a virtually guaranteed democratic ascension to power? Come on.

A cursory search of news articles related to the housing crisis reveals that economic indicators were already coming out in march of last year. For instance this article http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aCmeZdngmXgI&refer=home
last updated march 19, 2008 about the bush administration allowing freddie and fannie mac to carry less cash and invest more in housing due to already slumping housing markets.

I’m absolutely willing to accept that it’s a leading indicator the problem is you guys are interpreting a number that’s generated from a set of equations measuring a small percentage of the overall economy significantly influenced by many more and greater things than public policy. Could we maybe be a little bit better off? Perhaps, that can’t be said though until time goes on and we can see the results of the policies that have been implemented. Do you think that maybe, just maybe those smart guys who know the economy and are thus deciding which stocks they buy are maybe just maybe making these predictions because they see huge unemployment rates, massive losses and other things which were predicated far before today and which can’t be immediately forestalled in anyway by any policy.

myself on this:

Not all Americans.

The 48 stood high and followed McCain’s optimism.

I feel sad for 52.
