The Vices of Their Virtues

<Still waiting for HolyRoller to respond to my questions re: Obama POTUS eligibility "suit"...>

You reference Henry Paulson several times in different arcticles and editorial cartoons in your October 6 publication. I don't know who that is. The treasury secretary is Henry Paulsen. E not an O. When you commit such easily verified errors of fact it makes it hard to take as credible anything included in Newsweek.

Obama promises that incarceration rates will drop during his administration. "Too many of our citizens are ending up in jail. We need to help our citizens stay out of prison. The best way is to help them afford good lawyers when they commit a crime. " Obama is working closely with the American Bar Association on a project that will increase the quality of legal representation. "Together we will solve the problem of prison over crowding" said the candidate today in Flint Michigan.

Ultimately, we the American people get what they deserve. We're in the mess we're in because Americans chose to vote for a superficial leader with no experience in 2000 and 2004. Now once again it looks like we're going to elect a smooth talking guy, who looks good, but has absolutely no relevant experience. WIth Obama as president, the worst has yet to come. What a shame.

n a few weeks we will make a choice that will decide our future.
I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
Also, he perfectly predicted the current real estate market meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen in the next couple years
is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide the largest morgage bank in the world,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch which are 3 out of the top 5 wall street firms. Also, Fanny and Freddy Mae which hold 50 percent of the home loans in the United States.
The government took them over because they are essentially bankrupt.If they didn't the entire financially system would virtually shut down, the stock market would crash and we would suffer beyond what any of us have seen before.

McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand exactly what is broken.
It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use complex mathematical models very few people understand.
Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.

Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He either didn't care or didn't realize that anything was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime.
It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a surplus like Bush did but a tanking economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
So why are the polls even close then ?

Jon Meacham and Evan Thomas, gentlemen a very good article.

Mr McCain has served his country well.. He needs to go back to Arizona and enjoy his beer and his wife...
God Bless America.

getting warm in here.......Good buddy Tony...ready to give Feds...Hussein head on a silver platter........this is directly from Chicago Tribune....

Rezko courthouse visits fuel rumors he's talking
By MIKE ROBINSON | AP Legal Affairs Writer
4:52 PM CDT, September 29, 2008
CHICAGO - Convicted political fixer Antoin "Tony" Rezko has been quietly visiting Chicago's federal courthouse, setting off speculation that he may be spilling secrets to federal prosecutors in return for a lenient sentence.

Prosecutors investigating Gov. Rod Blagojevich's administration would plainly like to hear what Rezko knows, and there is plenty of incentive to talk.

"Jail is horrible and Tony Rezko has just two options," says Jay Stewart, executive director of the Better Government Association. "One option is to do nothin" and get a full sentence. The other is to cooperate with prosecutors."

Attorneys with knowledge of the government's investigation of corruption in state government say they are convinced the key fundraiser for Gov. Rod Blagojevich and Sen. Barack Obama is either talking or about to do so.......

BEFORE trial...Fed Prosecutor Fitzgerald, tried to get Rezko to implicate Hussein and Blagjevich, in the Hospital fix. Rezko refused, but has since been convicted Both were in the game, up to their necks. Now Tony either (1)spends rest of life in prison...or...(2)talks and walks...under a Witness Protection deal.

I told ya'll months ago....Tony will...squeal like a pig.....

NOBAMA!!!

In an interview this morning with NPR, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said that he has often turned to Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) for foreign policy advice:

OMG!!!??? WTF???
I know that this sounds like one of josemarti bizarre jokes, but it's absolutely true...

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95240063

Ask someone- anyone fron Arizona what Mccain had done for the state in his 26 years?
The answer will be - there will be no answer only silence!

PBS anchor Gwen Ifill, who is moderating Thursday night's vice-presidential debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin, is releasing a new book on Barack Obama, raising questions about her objectivity. The book, "The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama," is due to be released about the same time the next president takes the oath of office.

During the Republican National Convention, the PBS ombudsman fielded numerous complaints about Ifill???s coverage of Sarah Palin???s speech. Wrote Brian Meyers of Granby, Ct.: ???I was appalled by Gwen Ifill???s commentary directly following Gov. Sarah Palin???s speech. Her attitude was dismissive and the look on her face was one of disgust. Clearly, she was agitated by what most critics view as a well-delivered speech. It is quite obvious that Ms. Ifill supports Obama as she struggled to say anything redemptive about Gov. Palin???s performance. I am disappointed in Ms. Ifill???s complete disregard for journalistic objectivity.???

Check out realclearpolitics.com.

It's an aggregated list of polls with national, electoral, congressional averages.

One thing struck me on the main polls page: the Intrade estimate, which is like betting on politics.

With $15MM in bid circulation, Intrade has Obama leading McCain 2 to 1 in likelihood of election.

Also, HolyRoller:

Just checked out the obamacrimes.com website as you suggest. Three concerns:

1) Who is this Berg guy, and what is his motivation?

2) If you're so confident in this concept, then why is he begging for money at the top of the home page?

3) Even if there is a small legitimacy in his case, as there is in the case against McCain's legitimacy, then what makes you think that the DNC won't bludgeon the case with money until Berg loses his ability to continue, as I am sure the RNC would if the Dems were interested in pursuing their case against McCain?

Here's two questions:

When will Republicans admit defeat in this election? What will it take?

Hey, don't plagiarize GW like that!

Obama confident of landslide victory in November. "All the pieces are coming together." said Krystal Knight, a spokesperson today in DesMoines. "Barack is not only going to win the election, he is going to have a mandate."
