Bush and Co nailed more Wall Street types than Clinton did. If anything it wasn't uncommon to see his Justice Department taking someone down. In fact they did some very big people and companies.
It is completely dishonest to suggest Bush and Co gave these people a pass. There are just...
Here is the deal.
He is right in the regard we should not being picking up the pieces for those who overbought or won't make the sacrifices necessary to keep their homes. I bet most of them have a lot of monthlies for non essential services or over the top levels of services they could cut...
He is correct in one regard. The problem is I think he fails to realize it is so called leaders of the black community who don't want the open discussion. They literally shout down any attempt at discussion unless they start it and they guide it. In other words, unless the conversation is...
Well did you see/hear the people at Obama's recent Florida news conference?
The Republicans could not have planted better people if they actually would have tried. Sorry, but what that outing Obama had to be incredibly embarrassing to him.
The real problem is that there are millions who...
Regardless, the fact that Democrat Congressmen talk about introducing it again shows that only favor freedom of speech when it agrees with them. How long before they attempt to enforce this on other mediums they can claim the Constitution does not protect? After all MSNBC gets pummeled by Fox...
I think the Republicans are not playing the hand to its fullest.
We have a President and associated staff who think their ideas and goals are beyond question, beyond debate. They seem miffed that the opposition and even some in their own party have different opinions.
If anything Obama...
But they will find the money for their cell phone, new car, fast internet, cable tv, and other NON-ESSENTIALS, yet be offended when they have to pay a routine medical test or a prescription.
Go figure, their priorities are screwed.
No. The thing is that government can regulate insurance agencies and determine if they are being fair. Who watches the watchers? When government decides your toast. Who you going to ask for help? A government staffed court?
Fine, but the other side deserves the same right to explain it on national television as well.
The American people should be skeptical. No stimulus bill should have ever been SEVEN HUNDRED PAGES LONG.
The big picture is that it is all a fraud. Congress is saying one thing and doing...
He is using scare tactics because he and others were hoping to pass a horrid bill before people caught on. Once word got out he resorted to the only tactic he knows, vilify his opponents instead of defending his position.
Typical, especially from someone who never had to stand up for...
SENATOR DEBBIE STABENOW (D-MI): I think it?s absolutely time to pass a standard. Now, whether it?s called the Fairness Standard, whether it?s called something else ? I absolutely think it?s time to be bringing accountability to the airwaves. I mean, our new president has talked rightly about...
Stupid rule.
Why not apply rules that no Congressmen get junkets or pay until all earmarks are gone or the budget is balanced?
Why is the rule for responsibility ok for corporate types but not government types?
Let me summarize.
Since Obama is now President all those bogeymen of George Bush's terms are no longer an issue. Isn't it so convenient how Global Warming, the Federal Deficit, and FISA, are no longer bad things?
I wonder why?
Did he do it or did his press Secretary do it?
From listening to him I could swear he didn't even know what they were doing.
and the Uh.. bama strikes again :P
How about making it legal for a Company in NJ to sell a policy in GA?
The Feds prevent my ability to shop across state lines for health insurance, why shouldn't it be sky high because of that?
I do not agree. He was not the worst, of course you would have had to live under Carter to put that into a true context.
No, he just did what he said he would regardless of what press engineered polls declared were our opinions. There are times where we need leaders who do what is necessary...
Not one bit.
Less government regulation, less pandering to wealth envy, and more emphasis on success would improve the economy more that anything. Instead of forced income redistribution which stifles growth and innovation we need less burdensome government.
Congress created the financial...
Let us all be honest here.
What he gets paid doesn't matter. What they say in front of Congress doesn't matter.
Congressmen are simply looking for face time, they act more like elementary kids than leaders. They make stupid accusations, refuse to acknowledge when they are proven wrong...
the biggest threat to our economy that exist.
simply put it codifies intimidation as a valid means of getting your way.
it will make the poor even poorer when they have to pay more for the same stuff
He may be immune afterward as well. Richard Nixon threatened to invoke Presidential authority over his papers and such after he was out of office and the Congress with some hints from the courts backed down.
The simple fact is, Obama would destroy any chance at his own success if he allowed...
I want them at his throat.
If they just roll over and play dead they will keep alienating their base and keep losing seats. The reason the Republicans have fallen is they failed to keep to their base's views and as such tried too much to be like the Democrats.
Worried about him? You mean worried that all the skeletons in his closet are coming out to haunt him?
Not in the least.
If anything I think its funny how the left is claiming offense at what some M/P supporters are saying but do nothing to chastise their own loons. Loons on both...
What, a government agency doing stuff they shouldn't?
Who would have thought such a thing.
Yet the same people who decry this are more than willing to let this same government (like its going to change in 09) to take over health care.
As to the story, go read elsewhere. You will...
