    OMGZ! Did you see that the Dow is up nearly 500 pts! It must be Obama's policies that are driving this! Heck, it probably wasn't even his policies. He probably just opened his mouth and investment bankers swooned!

    I figure if the alternate world reverse version of this post is ok, then this one should be too.

    Obama's policies are driving this. He just promised to make the bank's bad debts the taxpayers' obligation. That's great news for anyone investing in banks.

    Please provide one concrete example of any Obama supporter cooing all lovy dovy over what the guy is doing.



    The general gist of it is "He is doing OK, and I don't fully like everything he is doing".

    What a contrast to the Republican drones who spent 8 years blaming Clinton for everything wrong, and still do.

    (snorts)
    Obama is great forum, my ass.

    Maybe. I think this plan gives the edge to insolvent megabanks, instead of well run small and medium sized banks. We'll see. Maybe the deal's too sweet for any bank to resist.

    I dunno. IMO, I think the well run banks who are on stable footing would prefer to just keep to their own and not put themselves in business with Uncle Sam. Because as we've seen with AIG once you take money from Uncle Sam then Congress suddenly feels en led to dictate to you how to run your business. And even if you're a competent banking executive who has protected his shareholders you're still a "bad guy" to congress because you make a lot of money. The insolvent banks won't have a choice though.

    All that however is separate from investors and the stock market run-up today. All they care about is the good news that pushes stock prices up. I suspect this will all be short lived though and they'll be looking to dump the banking stocks in the near future to take a quick profit.

    It's because people have so much confidence in my "main man", Tim Geithner.

    There is nothing more pathatetic that people get a stick up their ass when their side loses and run around claiming OMGZ ITZ DA END OF THE WORLD! and then blaming every god damn thing bad on the other side while never admitting their side did something stupid/bad.

    you would think the last eight years would have taught us THAT.

    I read through some of the threds here and at least some of the Obama people seemt o admit their guy makes mistakes. I never saw that with anybody who I knew who said they voted for Bush.

    Im not saying that if you are an Obama supporter you are beautiful and never drink the party coolaid, but there seems to be a huge lack fo common sense in a lot of the republican party these days. They spew all sorts of crap and think everybody thinks like they do or there not American. No wonder these assmonkeys lost the last coupel of elections.

    If I actualy voted, I can't say I would ever put a check behind anybody with a "R", unless they were running against some Libertarian . Those guys are even scarier.

    It's good to make your voting decisions based off what you have read on a website dedicated to an NBA team. That makes you very informed.





    By the way, I voted for Bush twice and constantly recognized the stupid things he did..............but I guess you only read what you want to read...........sort of like selective hearing, but not really.

    Really?

    I take it you are talking about the Dow, it is down 63 points at this time.

    Guess Obama's plan did stick. Could it be the market was reacting
    to housing sales?

    Nawh, that is the private sector doing it's thing and we know government is the only one with answers......

    You know like:

    "The president's budget doubles the national debt in five years and triples it in 10. His budget will create more gross debt in 10 years than the country ac ulated in the 220 years spanning George Washington's first day in office to George W. Bush's last day. To finance this debt, it borrows more money from China and other foreign nations, which threatens our financial security."

    So you blamed Bush when it went down last year too, right?

    to housing sales?
    Guess you are talking out of your ass again.

    Nawh, that is the private sector doing it's thing and we know government is the only one with answers......
    Is this seriously your analysis of the stock market?

    You know like:

    "The president's budget doubles the national debt in five years and triples it in 10. His budget will create more gross debt in 10 years than the country ac ulated in the 220 years spanning George Washington's first day in office to George W. Bush's last day.

    Had you given a about the deficits and debt when Republicans were in charge, you might have a point. You didn't so you don't.

    Ahhh, Chump. You haven't changed a bit. Dumb as always and same dumb
    answers. Damn, maybe I stay away too long. You need a lot educating.

    Just hang with me, I'll teach you something. I know it will be hard for you, but
    you can learn something if you are patient and read it one word at a time.

    Feel free to ask questions.

    Why didn't you about Bush's deficit spending?

    Or Reagan's?

    Because you're a fraud and your indignation about debt is purely partisan.

    You haven't changed a bit. Stupid partisan hypocritical hack.

    Obama's gonna get you!

    Boo!

    Whatever, dip .

    I didn't sya that I got all my information from this forum. that.

    Did you ever really call bush out for his dumassery?

    or did you just drink the coolaid and pretend that everythign was the Democrats' fault, and never criticised the guy?

    Big difference between not liking what Bush was doign, and having the balls to stand up to your own party. I just don't see that with the Republicans as much as with the democrats.

    I bet you still blame our failtures in the war on terrorism, whatever the taht is, on Clinton.

    Your argument was based on what you read on this forum........you did say that.

    that.
    Good point.

    Did you ever really call bush out for his dumassery?
    Yes...........and just because the "b" is silent in "dumbass" doesn't mean you get to leave it out of the word all together.............irony sucks doesn't it?

    or did you just drink the coolaid and pretend that everythign was the Democrats' fault, and never criticised the guy?
    No, I didn't pretend that, but some of it is and some of it isn't. You wouldn't know though because you only read what you want to read.

    Big difference between not liking what Bush was doign, and having the balls to stand up to your own party. I just don't see that with the Republicans as much as with the democrats.
    So are you standing up to the republican party now? By posting on this website? What are you doing to make your voice heard? Wait, you're doing nothing, in fact, you don't even vote.

    I bet you still blame our failtures in the war on terrorism, whatever the taht is, on Clinton.
    I don't even think we are "failing" in this war, we just aren't going about it the right way. Our objectives have been met in the war except for getting Osama (and I'll be the first to admit, that's a pretty big one), plus I think the guy is probably dead already.


    But you go on with your ty spelling and lame rants, they are really helping America move in the right direction.........well, maybe not America, but the people on this board...........well, maybe not the people on this board, but it may be helping you sleep at night.

    ??
    At the risk of interrupting someone elses' catfight I read this and wondered:

    What *would* be the right way to go about it?

    Please tell me that you don't think we can kill our way out of this somehow.
