I am quite familiar with this approach, it's the old slick willie triangulation. Always frame the discussion so that it's someone else's fault, but also so that you can take credit if something works. Obama will simply shrug and say that he didn't know $5 Billion for ACORN was a waste because...

Obama gave his talk today fighting for the stimulus package. Several times he displayed crude political calculation and weak leadership when he said "This isn't my opinion, it's what every economist I talk to says". Translation: He wants an out if it doesn't work, is too spineless to take...

Whenever an intelligent discussion gets going on the housing crisis, all the roots point back to the Clinton years. The last balanced budget was because a republican congress forced it on Clinton. The largest, and fastest growing, problem in the budget pre-september was social welfare spending...

US banks would fail if we let them, Lehman did. We don't have the Japanese culture here that existed in 1990. Do you really think Citi and AIG would be able to just sit there and wait?

I prefer short and naked men... the only thing that can stop this rally is darth trad3r

sometimes it does surge 5 times, it takes a genius to call that one

market exploding up, trad3r proven correct

the second chart was posted before, it needs to be as a percent of GDP to mean much. I have a related question: can anyone explain to me why someone would buy a CDS on a treasury? The high premium on those has been pointed out as a big problem.

oh great one, I cannot possibly understand what you are getting at, just lead us fat accounts like yours

dow up 80, behold the genius of the trad3r which should never be questioned again I see a rising wedge of support for trad3r, with a breakout of worshipping adulation

piezoe again illustrates the choices between liberty and leftism. The power of the left will always be derived from claiming that they 'care more about the ordinary person'. Lenin, Chavez, Pelosi, Obama, right on down line all claim the same moral high ground. The problem is that this is...

You want to claim to be objective yet you spout out obvious hyperbole: Iraq did not cost 3-4 trillion and did not kill more than Hussein, not even close. The problem I have with liberals is that they see this as an opportunity to expand the welfare state and increase their dependents...

I'm a believer, the trad3r gay lover twins are simply the best market analysts here or anywhere. Prepare to be amazed as their predictions are born out.

You said it trad3r, it just 'exploded' out of there. Man, you are always spot on with your predictions and observations. You stand as a singular genius on ET, not sure why you bother with us when you probably have 'hef-like' 3 chix and a mansion with your profits.

just ignore the freak, he'll go back to the sewer he came from

Landis, for some reason your partisanship prevents you from understanding what actually happened at this meeting. The republicans offered their suggestions and the Obama just said no. "I won, I will trump you on that"- remember? The meeting was again just for imagery, Obama has no intention...

Just heard Howard Dean on the tube. He reminds me again why I hate him and his kind. He said that republican votes against the bailout show that they won't be bipartisan. Bitch Pelosi bragged about how they alone wrote the bill, then the horses'ass Dean says the republicans won't play ball...

liberals are using the situation to advance their agenda, very risky...

I saw nothing partisan above, it is you stuck in left versus right. If we question spending on ACORN, that's taking a partisan view? It's highly annoying that when republicans talk about tax cuts, they are greedy, etc. but when Demos do it's suddenly good policy. If you question the...

expanding entitlements does not build up america, it tears it down
