The Way I See It!

I now withdraw and resend all prior comments I might have made in the negative on John McCain's character. I will embolden the specific comments from the article below that have changed my opinion. While I may not agree with his positions, I now reclaim the respect I had previously and am very glad to be wrong about anything I may have said in the past regarding his campaign. It is apparent to me that he has now stepped in and asserted authority in how his campaign is handled. I may be wrong but I read the statements below to be a man accepting Obama will be the next President of the United States of America. McCain's effort to temper GOP comments By CHARLES BABINGTON, Associated Press Writer1 hour, 53 minutes ago Barack Obama acknowledged Saturday that John McCain has asked his supporters to temper their attacks on him. But the Democratic presidential nominee said the Republican's economic plans remain wrong for the country. "I appreciated his reminder that we can dis

I am wondering how long it will take before everyone catches on and stops asking or listening to the very people who either 1. Make their living on Wall Street (brokers, investors, etc.) or 2. Make their living because of Wall Street (Analysts, consultants, etc.) what they think, or what should you do with your investments. These are the people responsible in some form or another for the crisis we now face. If you owned a hen house and it was being guarded by a fox and discovered 80% of your chickens were missing...would you ask the fox what happened and should you continue to add more chickens into the hen house? How many cases of fraud and theft do you have to hear before you catch on? Pull your investments and cash out and force those who made the bad loans and investments to face the music. Otherwise all you are doing is allowing them to correct their books on your dime AGAIN...remember the bail-out bill?

McCain is such an idiot. No actually that might be to easy, letting him off the hook for being simply unintelligent. I really do feel this is just more proof that the Republican party will say and do whatever it takes to win.....WHATEVER it takes!!!!!!! The Democratic party has been getting beat up by these people who focus on winning at any cost, while the Democrats continue to run campaigns the old fashion way...on the issues and differences of the candidates. What type of sad pathetic person worries more about trashing their opponent than presenting their case to the voters? Put the policies and plans side by side and do the research for yourselves. Then make your choice that way...stop waiting for Fox News (Fix Noise) and other news outlets to sum it up for you. Or give you a 30 second sound or video clip. I don't want an average Joe Six Pack retard running our government. Look where we are now. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!! Just because someone acts like you does not mean they really

I saw this poem at the start of a documentary I recently watched. The connections are a little scary. I found it very moving. Of course if you have pigment issues you may not agree. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz-zyaiYcPY

I have resisted saying this because I know it will be devastating to what economy we may have left. If you have investments and you are able to withdraw them now is the time to do so. The proof continues to mount that the large companies in need of bailing out are simply going to drain all the "good" money from the market by chasing "bad" money. Take your money out and force the government to let these companies fail if that is what is looming. The foreign markets are about to call their loans and investments due. You money is the first line of defense, the FDIC is some 3.2 billion dollars over extended right now. It is not worth the risk of losing everything to bail out those who lied their way into this problem in the first place. THIS IS LARGER THAN OUR GOVERNMENT EITHER WANTS TO ADMIT OR CAN POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND. AIG hits up Fed for more money Three weeks after an $85 billion bailout, AIG is turning to the New York Fed for additional funding. By Tami Luhby, CNNM

I have a few questions about the debate last night. First, why did McBush never mention Sarah Palin, nor did he refer to himself as a "Maverick"? Answer, because he was told how dumb either of the two would be. Second, I continue to see in the polls that when asked which candidate would do a better job protecting us from "terrorists" a few more than not feel McCain would be the one. Can someone please explain what McCain or the Republicans have shown or done to earn or deserve the title of supreme guardians from the threats of terror (never the acts mind you)!!! Is bin Laden dead...no. Is Al Qaeda broken and crushed...no. Name one credible piece of information to come from Guantanamo or the Patriot Act (Either form). Name a single arrest of a serious foreign terrorist threat inside the United States since September 11, 2001...you can't. Any arrests at home have had no ties to any foreign groups. We are in two wars....one we failed to find the main target (bin La

Well we should have seen this coming. AIG execs' retreat after bailout angers lawmakers By ANDREW TAYLOR, Associated Press WriterTue Oct 7, 11:15 PM ET Days after it got a federal bailout, American International Group Inc. spent $440,000 on a posh California retreat for its executives, complete with spa treatments, banquets and golf outings, according to lawmakers investigating the company's meltdown. AIG sent its executives to the coastal St. Regis resort south of Los Angeles even as the company tapped into an $85 billion loan from the government it needed to stave off bankruptcy. The resort tab included $23,380 worth of spa treatments for AIG employees, according to invoices the resort turned over to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The retreat didn't include anyone from the financial products division that nearly drove AIG under, but lawmakers still were enraged over thousands of dollars spent on outing for executives of AIG's main U.S. life insur

FactChecking Debate No. 2 October 8, 2008 Nonsense in Nashville Summary McCain and Obama debated for the second time, in Nashville. We noted some misleading statements and mangled facts: McCain proposed to write down the amount owed by over-mortgaged homeowners and claimed the idea as his own: “It’s my proposal, it's not Sen. Obama's proposal, it's not President Bush's proposal.” But the idea isn’t new. Obama had endorsed something similar two weeks earlier, and authority for the treasury secretary to grant such relief was included in the recently passed $700 billion financial rescue package. Both candidates oversimplified the causes of the financial crisis. McCain blamed it on Democrats who resisted tighter regulation of federal mortgage agencies. Obama blamed it on financial deregulation backed by Republicans. We find both are right, with plenty of blame left over for others, from home buyers to the chairman of the Federal Reserve. Obama said his health care plan woul

Try to understand, just because you were cleared does not make you right. Nor does it mean you did nothing wrong. (Not Guilty does not mean Innocent!!!!!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDofbll86dY

First let me start by saying to all of you, please do not fall for one of the oldest tricks in politics.... reading the polls and thinking that this is "all but a lock" because the poll numbers say so. The republicans want you to believe the poll numbers, even though the numbers might be absolutely wrong. GO VOTE ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!! THE WORST THING WOULD BE TO THINK WE HAVE IT SO LOCKED UP THAT ENOUGH PEOPLE STAY HOME ON ELECTION DAY TO ALLOW MCCAIN AND THE GOP TO STEAL ANOTHER ELECTION!!!!!!!!!!! And for those who think your vote doesn't matter, about half of all states now mandate their electoral votes go to the popular vote winner. So it does matter, look it up!!!!! Next, has anyone else noticed that it seems as if every major catastrophe that has faced our nation for the past 28 years gas had a Bush or a Bush relative in the mix... IE all the Gulf wars/conflicts, Enron, Saudi Oil deals/scams, 2000 election, Iran Contra, Saddam Hussein's war machine (Regan's VP Ge
