Obama didnt use the crisis as an excuse to politick, as I pointed out to you at length somewhere else this morning. Meanwhile Obama not only has great advisers but has stayed updated and informed by the players in this game, learning all the while - McCain has not.
Are you really Sunshine Chick in disguise?
Oh come on. You surely KNEW this by now, didn't you?
I was watching the CEO of Lehman Brothers get his head handed to him by the House. Now, while I think that Mr. Fuld making 480 million over 6 or so years is completely ludicrous, Henry Waxman going after him asking if it was fair is just dumb. Mr. Fuld had an employment agreement with Lehman and also had a compensation committee to answer to, on top of the Lehman board of directors. Waxman would have you thinking that Mr. Fuld was just sitting in his office on his throne having peeled grapes fed to him while he bathed in money. He had lawyers who drafted an employment agreement that was probably boiler plate to other employment agreements for the other CEO's of Wall St. investment firms. Did they fiddle while Rome was burning, your gosh darn tootin' they did, but should they feel guilty about it? No ... an agreement was in place. It's fairness after the fall is irrelevant ... if Henry Waxman is going to give the CEO the what how, then the entire board of directors and the compensation committees for Lehman should also be getting asked the same questions. But then again, the buck stops with the CEO, but he sure had minions peeling those grapes.
That's simple: knowing as most Americans do that NOsama will be our next president, the word is getting out that our economy will be in complete ruin within the first 18 months of his reign.
Oh get real!
On the one hand Repug posters want us to believe that Obama is in the pocket of Wall Street by pointing out who his large contributors are, and on the other hand want to claim that these same individuals think that he will be bad for business.
On the one hand Repug posters want us to believe that Obama is the darling of Europe, yet these same Europeans who are also having a meltdown of their financial institutions due to the sub-prime mess of Keating/Gramm/Bush/McCain are having this melt down due to the possibility of an Obama presidency.
Get real, puleeeeeeeze!
McCain has been and is AWOL on the financial crisis even when he pretends to be John McWayne riding to the rescue. The economy is FUBAR and all you and yours can talk about is some senior citizen who used to be a radical!
if Henry Waxman is going to give the CEO the what how, then the entire board of directors and the compensation committees for Lehman should also be getting asked the same questions.
Why do I have little doubt that given the opportunity Rep. Henry Waxman would love to do just that? Perhaps you think that it would be efficacious to haul in the entire board of every screwed upped soon to bailed out corporation. Of course the last time something like that happened it was called the Inquisition. I think that Congress has better things to do than conduct star chambers ad infinitum. A couple of major players will do for now.
PANIC TIME for McCain. He's crashing his campaign just like he crashed every plane he ever flew. He's as unstable now as he was then...with a dose of senile dementia thrown in. It's great fun watching all the Republicans who've DESTROYED our country in only eight years now SWEATING and WHINING on the news shows as McCain GOES DOWN IN FLAMES.
