Some people as a result of the
Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush Economic policies are doing
well

"EXTREMELY WELL"

LETS SEE 3,030,000 PEOPLE In the USA "DOING EXTREMELY
WELL"

270,000,000 People in the USA"DOING EXTREMELY BAD"

Which group are you in?

If we are not BITTER Why in hell are we not BITTER?

Where your vote lies is where you are on the economic
ladder? REALLY?

Wait here is some very impressive numbers the 3
trillion dollar invasion/occupation is costing every
family in America 48K to 50k, which is providing
500,000 thousand dollars in aid for every man, woman
and child living in Iraq with 40% of the funds used to
finance the invasion/occupation is from off shore
lenders. thats the money part of the equation which is
not good.

The lives lost equations is 4000 + of our most brave
Americans being palyed as pawns in some very wickedly
sick rich people's chess game. That equates to 11
armed service personal being killed in Iraq every day.
This does not include the staggering amounts of death,
of the Iraqi people.

And we can take it one step further
Let us take the people in the USA who live on the
poverty level of the economic step ladder.
In the year 2000 there were 27 mil people living in
poverty with about an average of 27 children dyeing
every day because of that fact. that equates to 9855
children dead every year in the USA so lets take that
even further roughly about 49275 since the beginning of
the invasion/occupation. But that number could
possibly be even higher since we now have 35 mil
people who live in poverty today, in The USA.
Now we all must all be just deaf, dumb and blind
either by choice, ignorance or lack of information by
main stream media.

Or let us just look at a simple thing as bridges in
disrepair in The USA
Of the country's nearly 600,000 bridges, 26% were
found structurally deficient or "functionally
obsolete" in a 2006 U.S. Department of Transportation
report. (That equates to 156,000) The condition of
heavily used urban bridges like the one that collapsed
Minn. is even worse: one in three are classified as
aging or unable to accommodate modern vehicle weights
and traffic volume.
We don't have the funds to fix our bridges and our
roads in direpair.

What are we building in Iraq?

I dont know why Jessie is apologizing. If Barry is bold enough to talk down toward a sitting president then why is he all up at arms when people are not in tone with the change he promotes. Barry has shown no respect for the people who have put in their time before him and in my eyes you have to earn respect before you can receive it. I have always said I will respect the guy's title if he becomes President, but I will never be able to look this person in the eye knowing he has not earn his job outright. Barry has the media not fully reporting the news like they should because they want him president. We have a democratic congress who is refusing to grant any bill that will allow off shore drilling for oil the country so badly needs in order to make a political party look bad and now we are hurting all the way around. So do i feel sorry that Jessie and maybe an entire generation of Black Americans dislike him, no. Barack needs to understand being cocky and thinking he is better then the next person is not the way to someone hearts and for this guy to become president after everything he has shown in character is just crazy. I have more respect for that single mother or father working two jobs to make ends meet then this guy because they are hard working people who doesn't need to protray false claims to get their jobs. It is just mind blowing that the American people are point fingers and blaming people when we need to band together and stop disrespecting one another, solve our problems and lets turn this thing around. If we don't then we are going to look around one day and foreign investors are going to own our house, jobs, cars and a lot of investment interest in our own country. And we will have ourselves to blame for not addressing the issues now.

Very first video, is Hussein advocating sex ed, FOR KINDERGARTEN. The fool is a, uh, well ....FOOL.

NOBAMA!!!

Jesse Jackson 's time has come and gone,,he has been accused of sexual harassment,his Rainbow Coalition is nothing more than a shakedown operation,as is Sharpton's.. Their agenda is to maintain the staus quo with the black community,or else the have no bully puplit--Barack's father 's day address as well as Bill Cosby's recent book ring true---of course Malcom X spoke these same words 40 years ago,and we know what happened to him

As long as Karl Rove is alive, Jesse Jackson's "oldschool" style of politics is dead on the money.

Any clueless DNC youngsters making kissey-poo with the GOP WILL have their nuts cut off, and NOT by Jesse Jackson, but by their new "best friends."

Lay down with vipers; NEVER come up.

really black?? and that means he can say crude things he is a "reverend" self -control he nodifferent that haggee and rest tv preachers same crapdifferent style. Obama is the man, preachers should realy stick 2 preaching bible and get off tv. Or was he mad that his illegitimate hild doesnt see him, he chould have cuhs own n-ts off ( smile)

Jesse Jackson seem to be a back stabbing media hound.

But Jesse is really black! God bless him!

Know why McCain wants to distance himself from former Senator Phil Gramm? It's not because of Gramm's obnoxious remarks calling Americans "a nation of whiners" who are in "a mental recession." Those remarks were so ascerbic that they may've been made just to give McCain an excuse to distance himself from Gramm. This issue is a lot deeper than it looks on the surface.

When Gramm was a Senator he was Chairman of the Banking Committee. He pushed through the legislation known as the "Enron Loophole." This loophole allowed US investment banks to bypass Federal regulations governing futures trading, and is the reason why investment banks were able to falsely inflate the prices of oil, wheat, corn and other commodities through massive futures trading, causing your costs of gas, heating oil and food to go through the roof.

Gramm also created the Gramm-Leach-Biley Act, which got rid of the laws that seperate banking, insurance and brokerage activities in America. The Gramm Act was touted as a new way to protect consumer privacy, but the real meat on the Act's bones was banking deregulation. Essentially, this Act did away with laws written after the Great Depression to protect us from another Wall Street/Banking Industry collapse. That's right, Gramm stripped the system of it's safe guards nine years ago, and guess what? The value of the dollar has nose-dived, four major economic institutions have failed, Wall Street is unstable, and we are in a worsening recession.

Notably, the US investment banks that gained the most from the Enron Loophole and from the Gramm Act contributed more than a million dollars to Gramm's campaign.

Currently Gramm is Vice Chairman of UBS, the Swiss Bank that came up with the idea of "death bonds." Worse, though, UBS is involved in a scam where they sold auction rate securities to American customers. Auction rate securities are supposed to be as safe as cash, but the way UBS did it, the fees garnished by their in-house investment bankers were intentionally higher than the return on the securities, ripping off their American customers. The Massachusetts Attorney General has already filed charges against UBS, and private brokers world-wide have dropped UBS stock. UBS is forecasted to lose 82.91% of it's value in 2008. We are talking about the corporate bank where Gramm is Vice Chairman. Looking at his track record there and at the havoc he has wrought on the US economy through the Senate Banking Committee, it's clear that either Gramm is a criminal or grossly incompetent.

Now McCain wants nothing to do with Gramm, wants us to forget Gramm has been a key player on McCain's team. Gramm was McCain's campaign CO-CHAIR and LEADING ECONOMIC ADVISOR. Previously, McCain had said that he planned to appoint Gramm as SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

With Gramm as McCain's leading economic advisor, now you know why economists and analysts say that McCain's economic policy plans are untenable.
