Then why did BO go on there last night, and do an interview with O'reilly last week? Did BO indicate he was treated unfairly?

I thought Lehrer did a great job tonight. He didn't get in the way, and best of all, demonstrated no bias.

I'm glad you mentioned this. This is one of my biggest concerns about BO. I'm not concerned about a war between us and Pakistan. I would be more concerned over attacks by us potentially destabilizing the gov there, perhaps even causing an overthrow by the hardliners, and potential martyrs...

Little or no good can come from legislation drafted through the prism of panic. Especially when tax increases are involved.

Too bad. I liked Ron W. Decent guy. Been using ESP for years. Hope they don't change it.

Which forces the next question: Since there was no democratic support, why did Clinton sign it?

Perhaps to disguise the fact they want to get on the campaign trail. Getting re-elected is much more important than the people's business (to those who are running).

True, but Bush was not alone. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26774653/ From the article: Alan Greenspan, as Fed chairman, supported "counterparty supervision," which meant financial institutions would keep close watch on their trading partners out of self-interest. And Robert E. Rubin, as...

I won’t deny that I am a disgruntled ex republican. I am a man without a party, at least presently. When one is sleeping, and thinks he hears something, his eyes will open just for a second or two. Did he hear something, or was it his imagination? That describes my experience when...

you mean the ones with no balls? Just kidding. As long as the word is engaging, not kowtowing.

Their balls do tend to drop when they are in the minority. Guess that's their lot in life. I couldn't disagree more about Reid, however. His first comments were to come out and blame republicans. That's not going to get the deal done. Let the dems go out on a limb without the...

I kept hearing panic in the pundits as they were making statements like: "Why can't we just pass it and then fix it if it's not a good plan." Isn't that's the problem with so much legislation now?

I wonder if the dems could get the plan through without republicans on board. I wonder if they are willing to stick their necks out without the ability to blame the right if it fails. I think that's the real game.

Bleak. Agree about our choices.

They are revolting against Bush. Long overdue. Not sure this is the right issue, but it's nice to see a few growing some balls.

Punish all for the actions of a few. Enact new laws because the old ones aren't enforced. Etc... These fuckers have been in DC way to long. Totally out of touch. We need an end to career politics. Sure would be nice to see a turnover. 535 would be about right.

My guess is the investigations will get just far enough to implicate corporate higher ups, but will fall short of congressional or admin involvement and corruption, but your words do give me a little ray of hope. It would be sweet to see gov held accountable for their involvement. They...

Damn, this is funny! ByLo, you made my night! Thanks.:D:D :D

Damn fat finger. Glad it was on a post and not an order. Meant trading halt.

My question has been: Is the fed playing the market, or the economy? I got the impression that the emergency rate cuts early on were all about the market. I thought the fed's job was to help maintain a healthy economy. I don't see how manipulating markets achieves that. I always...
