GM is doing fine oversea. This is just a ploy to offload union and pension obligation. Since all the financial's hands are in the cookie jar, why not us too? I am sure other industries are jealous of the special treatment that financial and auto industries are getting. So, someone else...

Well, I will speak for Colorado. There is a substantial increase in latino population at the south part of the state. Also, I suspect front range oil drilling also turn off a lot of rural voters. Republicans are all for drilling until rigs are actually on your backyard...:)

Bush's problem is not where he stands on issues. It is the execution. 1) Katrina - no explanation needed here. Bush did show improvement this year. 2) Iraq - greet as liberators? WMD? Rumsfield's army lite strategy? 3) Afgan - yea, what happen to the other war. 4) Financial...

In my state, the men are 50-50 with Obama and McCain, but it is 54-46 with women. So, go figure.

OP please grow up. I also vote for Obama and your message is not helping. Keep in mind that there are +45% people who didn't vote for Obama. Bush totally forgot about this point.

Russia or China might try something, but if Obama's popularity is high outside US. they might want to avoid the headwind. With the name of Barrack Hussein Obama as the US president, I got a feeling that Iran and those extremists will need new slogans. Ultimately, when the novelty goes...

That's exactly what I thought. When a son of a mixed race immigrant with a middle name of Hussain becomes President of the United State. It is hard to point any finger at US because you might want that opportunity one day. Also, this remind me of China keep using unequal treatment of...

People in Congress tried, but Paulson said that will be a deal breaker for him. So, they end up with exec com cap for FUTURE contract as a window dresser.

First, here is the bloomberg version. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aVann0.cv9Tw Second, how do you know GS never asked for a bailout? GS has a direct line to Paulson - the ex-CEO of GS. What makes you think GS need to inform you and me when they ask for anything...

No one seems to realized that if your finance is wrecked, whatever national security you have right now is temporary. I can do what Bush have done. Spend 2T on military. 2T on tax cut. Increase national deficit by 4T. There, you have your lower tax and national security.

Rule number three : when there is no money, ask the taxpayer to bail out your bonus.

We absolutely have been fooled, threathen or setup for this. Look at the 700B wooden arrow bailout bill. Yea, give me 1 billion so that I can lend out 10 cents that the economy so needed to survive. At the end, the FED STILL need to setup a facility to lend to the commercial paper market...

There is only one lesson to be learned here. Before : Used to be if you lend someone money, you are on the hook if that person defaults. Now : If the taxpayer is on the hook when someone default, that means free market fail and regulation is needed. Aka, everyone is going to have a HARD...

Mvic : it is not mortgage anymore. Do you think 50B will entice foreigner to buy billions of CDO again? That market is done for. There is a supply of money going to mortgage market that will be gone forever. Hence home price will need to be adjusted downward to match that. As for...

As always, we are being fooled. That 700B didn't do jack. Fed still need to do the lending itself to the CP market.

Here is the deal. Whatever help those deadbeat homeowners getting, it is only fair the honest homeowners get them too. IE. If it is low-interest government loan, then every American also should have the right to them. If it is reduction of principle, then those don't need it should get...

First, if you don't believe everything he is saying right now, and for some reason, you believe everything from McCain. Vote McCain now. If you believe what he is saying, then you have to read what he is pushing. He is pushing. He is pushing the health care load to insurance companies...

Hrm.... don't hold me for it. The same place that mentioned $250,000 under capital gain tax also refer to reference vii. reference vii is a history of income tax rate and they all refer to taxable income. http://www.ctj.org/pdf/regcg.pdf 94% for taxable income in 1944-45....:)

Yea, and today, it is lower to 50k. Good argument. I am voting against Obama based on your sound argument..:)

Instead of reading mesage from ETers, why don't you guys just read it straight from the horse's mouth? http://www.barackobama.com/pdf/taxes/Factsheet_Tax_Plan_FINAL.pdf Page 5!
