Topic:
Clinton on McCain...
|
|
For all you LIB partisans out there... your own hero Clinton says McCain did what he did in GOOD faith. So much for the lib lies & assumptions. Right?  In fact, McCain wanted more townhall meetings with OBAMA. so much for being afraid...I think the only one who is afraid is Obama. Oh right...you can't be blamed for anything when you are a "do nothing." LOL
Bill Clinton: Don't 'Overly Parse' McCain Request to Delay Debate Share September 25, 2008 8:26 AM ABC News' Nitya Venkataraman Reports: Former President Bill Clinton defended Sen. John McCain's request to delay the first presidential debate, saying McCain did it in "good faith" and pushed organizers to reserve time for economy talk during the debate if the Friday plans move forward. Appearing on Good Morning America Thursday, Clinton told ABC News' Chris Cuomo that McCain's push to postpone the debate would only be a good political move if both candidates agreed. McCain announced on Wednesday that he would "suspend" his presidential campaign to come to Washington to help negotiate a financial bailout bill "We know he didn't do it because he's afraid because Sen. McCain wanted more debates," Clinton said, adding that he was "encouraged" by the joint statement from McCain and Sen. Barack Obama. "You can put it off a few days the problem is it's hard to reschedule those things," Clinton said, "I presume he did that in good faith since I know he wanted -- I remember he asked for more debates to go all around the country and so I don't think we ought to overly parse that." If the debate moves forward as planned for Friday night, Clinton says "they should be able to talk about this some of the debate because it is a security issue." The former president thought Bush's address Wednesday night on the economic crisis had a "positive reaction". "I thought it was the clearest statement of why we're in the fix we're in, at least what the nature of it is and why some national action is needed," Clinton said. He said that both Democrats and Republicans "should move as quickly as they can" on the president's economic rescue plan but that both parties "want to know exactly how this $700 billion is going to be invested..to stabilize the system." President Bush's bipartisan meeting on the economic crisis will take place at 4pm at the White House, both Obama and McCain will be in attendance. Bill Clinton isn't running for President. And his wife is still stumping for Obama. |

And the Palin-McCain media stonewall continues... "As of this writing, it has been 39 days and 22 hours since Sen. John McCain last held a news conference... it's been 24 days and 11 hours since his running mate, Sarah Palin, held one." - The Washington Post Looks like the "Straight Talk Express" is in one very long and dark tunnel. The 'Straight Talk Express' has derailed. |

OK so say you run a business and this business has trillions in assets, interest in every major market and your business is on the verge of bankruptcy. You have to Hire a new CEO and CFO. the resumes you get are as follows... Who would you hire? CEO applicant A - Occidental College, 2 years - Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a Specialization in International Relations - Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude CFO applicant B - University of Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in political science - Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.) vs. CEO applicant Y - United States Naval Academy CFO applicant Z - Hawaii Pacific University, 1 semester - North Idaho College, 1 year - University of Idaho, 1 year - Matanuska-Susitna College, 1 semester - University of Idaho, 1.5 years - B.S. in Journalism I wouldn't hire any of them. I'd bring one of them on as an intern and if they prove that they can produce a profit for the corporation, then I'd hire them.

He nose is so firmly implanted into Bush's ass, it would take a surgeon to extract it! Edited by mnhiker on Mon 09/22/08 09:59 PM hey braniac, this makes you believeable, huh? by the way, it's 'his', not 'he'. 
I want him fired too, but not nobama, as he can stay where he is in the Congress. Let him fire the SEC chief. send him an e-mail. I bet he won't listen unless you send him a check for $25,000. oh, yeah, I forgot! the free lunch crowd doesn't support nobama : the guys at freddie and fannie do.. good thing they got bailed out before the election, huh? They are flush with cash now. 
nobama 2008. Obama's plan makes a lot more sense: "Now that this disaster has hit, John McCain is calling for the firing of the SEC commissioner. Well, here's what I say," Mr. Obama told the cheering crowd. "In 47 days, you can fire the whole trickle-down, on-your-own, look-the-other-way crowd in Washington who have led us down this disastrous path." http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08263/913377-176.stm The Bush Administration has almost destroyed the economy,so why give the Republicans another 4 years? Put that in your pipe and smoke it. |

nice edit there. kinda covers your tracks when commenting on intelligence, huh? just saying....... the title of your thread might just give people the wrong impression. we wouldn't want that. 
From now on I know to quote you. love that edit. 
That doesn't excuse the fact that McCain didn't know that a President can't fire an SEC Chief. Which means he should think before opening his big yap. So should you. |

true. BTW
The Fed Chairman is Bernanke. 
McCain said he would fire Chris Cox, the SEC Chief. Not the Fed Chairman. The title might be wrong, but the initial post is correct. 'Fed Chairman' came up in my Google search. |

 Get used to the Sarah Palin saga. I have a feeling its gonna be going on for the next 4 to 8 years. This is just the tip of the iceberg
 I didnt say I think they SHOULD win but I just think thats who IS gonna win.
Its not about what I want. Im capable of reaching conclusions despite how I feel about a particular subject.
Maybe, if enough fundamentalist crazy soccer moms vote for McCain because they love Sarah Palin (she's one of us!) Some still pissed off former Hillary supporters could vote for him as revenge against Obama. |

John McCain said that, if he were President, he would fire Chris Cox, the SEC Chief. The only problem is: No President is able to do this. http://firedoglake.com/2008/09/18/mccain-confused-says-he%E2%80%99d-%E2%80%9Cfire%E2%80%9D-sec-chief-even-though-by-law-he-couldn%E2%80%99t/ Oops! 
Intelligence doesn't always translate into common sense, or what's right for the American people as a whole. Plus, he's a notorious flip-flopper. He nose is so firmly implanted into Bush's ass, it would take a surgeon to extract it!

Since reagan we have been told government is the problem and not the solution. So were are these pundits now? can we tar and feather them? what effect will this massive bailout have on our futures? The media is strangely silent on this. Were is Lymbaugh or O'liely on this? these are the same clowns who grew rich preaching the evils of big government. We have been told over and over that universal healthcare is to expensive, yet we spent trillions in Iraq and now at least a trillion on this bailout, were is the outrage? I wonder where they'll get the money from? Another loan from China? Hey, how about repealing the tax cuts for the wealthy? There's an idea!

"In reflex tests of 46 political partisans, psychologists found that conservatives were more likely than liberals to be shocked by sudden threats. Accompanying the physiological differences were deep differences on hot-button political issues: military expansion, the Iraq war, gun control, capital punishment, the Patriot act, warrantless searches, foreign aid, abortion rights, gay marriage, premarital sex and pornography." http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/09/fearmongering-h.html The neocons were also considerably slower than liberals... (OK,I made that part up...) Of course they scare more easily. The George Bush Jr. Administration and their brown-nosing sycophants at Faux News have been playing to these fears for over 7 years. |

I know most of what I need to know and it is this:
The Republican Party is the party of the rich fat cats. They care little about the poor or middle class and have tried to do everything to destroy the former. They serve the oil barons, sheiks and anyone else that gives them loads of cash. There is a lot more corruption and white collar criminal activity in the Republican Party. Too bad a lot of these crimes aren't prosecuted because they own the legal system. They are the agents primarily responsible for the financial mess the country is in today. So remember that when you vote for President this November. |

83 Wall Street lobbyists

Exposed: McCain team includes 83 Wall Street lobbyists John Byrne Published: Wednesday September 17, 2008 As Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) rails against Wall Street while concurrently benefiting from its largesse, some journalists are getting tired. David Corn -- an investigative reporter formerly with The Nation and currently reporting for Mother Jones -- has printed a list of 83 Wall Street lobbyists he says are working for or have bundled contributions for McCain. The Democratic National Committee has previously accused McCain of using 177 lobbyists either as campaign aides, advisers or fundraisers. Corn notes that former Sen. Phil Gramm, the Arizona senator's onetime campaign chairman and economic adviser, slipped into law a provision that kept credit default swaps unregulated, dramatically kindling to the current financial fires. "Of those 177 lobbyists, according to a Mother Jones review of Senate and House records, at least 83 have in recent years lobbied for the financial industry McCain now attacks," Corn writes. "These are high-paid influence-peddlers who have been working the corridors of the nation's capital to win favors and special treatment for investment banks, securities firms, hedge funds, accounting outfits, and insurance companies. Their clients have included AIG, the newest symbol of corporate excess; Lehman Brothers, which filed for bankruptcy on Monday sending the stock market into a tailspin; Merrill Lynch, which was bought out by Bank of America this week; and Washington Mutual, the banking giant that could be the next to fall. "Among these 83 lobbyists are McCain's chief political adviser, Charlie Black (JP Morgan, Washington Mutual Bank, Freddie Mac, Mortgage Bankers Association of America); McCain's national finance co-chairman, Wayne Berman (AIG, Blackstone, Credit Suisse, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac); the campaign's congressional liaison, John Green (Carlyle Group, Citigroup, Icahn Associates, Fannie Mae); McCain's veep vetter, Arthur Culvahouse (Fannie Mae); and McCain's transition planning chief, William Timmons Sr. (Citigroup, Freddie Mac, Vanguard Group)." Obama's anti-lobbyist rhetoric, meanwhile, has irked other reporters, among them Newsweek's Michael Isikoff. Isikoff noted that Obama's chief strategist, David Axelrod, worked for a firm that hoodwinked Illinois consumers by convincing them a California-style crises would befall them unless they increased electric rates. Axelrod adamantly denied the charge. "I've never lobbied anybody in my life," he said. "I've never talked to any public official on behalf of a corporate client." Obama also put James Johnson, the former CEO of Fannie Mae, on his vice presidential search committee team. Johnson resigned in June.
