I would guess she'd "govern" the same way she did in Alaska, wouldn't you? In which case, "Church" was a private matter. Actually, if memory serves, it was also answered in the Hannity interview. You did watch it, right? OldTrader

According to you link, the prime rate went to 20% in April, 1980. It then dipped, and later went to 21.50 in December, 1980. In case you've forgotten, Reagan didn't take office until January, 1981. OldTrader

First, you misunderstand. I brought up the misery index as a measurement of how bad things were during a particular period. I'm OK with whatever it says for any particular period. However, what you have done is to apply a series of numbers calculated by a private website evidently to make a...

I see nothing here other than personal traits. I would think you'd want to evaluate a prospective President on what their polices are, what their ideas are. Obama is a big government believer. And with that will follow higher taxes, and higher inflation rates. If I recall correctly, he has...

OK, you got me....what are you referring to? Provide a link. Obviously the combination of inflation and unemployment right now are somewhere around 9% I would say. OldTrader

It seems that Presidents are always evaluated in part by the performance of the economy during their tenure. Certainly in this election I hear that evaluation constantly...don't you? Nevertheless, in this case, Carter appointed a guy named G William Miller as Federal Reserve Chairman. He...

It depends on what your contract says. Have a lawyer take a look at it since you don't know. OldTrader

Why doesn't it surprise me that when you have nothing substantive at all to say, you resort to another attack? LOL. OldTrader

Whatever you idiot. Why not try making a few informed posts for a change? Insert a few facts into your claims. OldTrader

Evidently you don't remember that inflation was above 18%, and interest rates above 20% under Jimmy Carter. Under Carter we has something called the "misery index", which was the total of the unemployment rate and the inflation rate. It hit almost 22% under Carter, a record in the modern...

Exactly! I'd nominate Jimmy Carter. Of course, alot of these guys weren't born at that time. LOL. OldTrader

Evidently George Will, along with you guys, are unfamiliar with history. Any number of Presidents have had tempers. Harry Truman for example was known to be unable to contain his temper at all. For example, when a music critic gave his daughter a bad review, Truman said: "Some day I hope...

In an accompanying statement, Raines said he never "provided his campaign with advice on housing or economic matters." That contradicts what he told Huslin five months ago. Washington Post.

From the Washington Post, 9/19/08: The commercial's main charge is based on an April story in The Washington Post that said Raines has "taken calls from Barack Obama's presidential campaign seeking his advice on mortgage and housing policy matters." Reporter Anita Huslin says Raines told her...

This is the part of your article I posted and responded to: So it's about who would do a better job handling an economic crisis, NOT "who is to blame for the problem". Next time, give a shot at reading and comprehending the post eh? I posted an article that goes to the question of how...

Just some input on how he handled some situations in the past. Let's face it, he doesn't have a substantial record to look at, other than a few things like this. And I assume you welcome the input since your not simply playing politics. OldTrader

He says he's not an advisor now. He had a different story then. The Washington Post says he isn't now, they were printing a different story then. The campaign? Well they weren't concerned then, they're only concerned now. LOL. Keep drinking that Koolaid. OldTrader

Let's hope he does a better job than he did with these real estate deals: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=137902 Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the...

Perhaps closed for you....but not for some of us. Here's some other information: Last Friday, the Washington Post "factchecked" the McCain ad and concluded that the campaign had been "clearly exaggerating wildly" in order to link Obama to Raines and that the "latest McCain attack is...

Obama’s Real-Estate Bust He did for Illinois taxpayers what shady mortgage lenders have done for the economy. By David Freddoso Last week, Sen. Barack Obama compared the Savings and Loan bailout of the late 1980s to the situation of the mortgage-securities markets today: Too many...
