I like Twinnings English Breakfast. So, no one touch that one. The Constant Comment and Earl Grey can go into the "drink." 
While 53% of the nation electorate voted for Obama, I thought we could get close to 100% here on this site to agree that Danica is really purty.  |

I was making a motor head comment, not a political one. I would have made the same comment had Bush, Carter, Lincoln, or Washington said it.

Well said, and given the times I would have posted the same reply. |

SDfletch - politics and this site have gone hand in hand since I joined, It's like a TV, if you don't like the channel, change it (or in this case ignore the thread)
Going back to David's initial comment - I guess his speechwriters/researchers missed that point. This comment doesn't scare me half as much as what he and congress have done on the past 5 weeks. God help the future generations. (I know now I am going to get someone complaining about the G word . |

A very popular local radio commentator here said that Ford built the fist car. He said all of the previous cars were just experiments...

Chaplain...
It's not greed that is hurting us. It's the enslavement of the productive. When you allow the Government to steal from the producers at the point of a gun it shows how much has turned in this country. Success should never be punished, and failure should never be glorified.

Tea Party Rant
This Tea Party is Official !!!
Look the guy is our quarterback now.....and although I don't like some of the plays he is calling..... I am on the team.... and I don't want to tackle my own quarterback.... but... that being said ....I having real Heartburn with the thinking of the new administration and our Fed Chair.
Rick Santelli of CNBC says it right "We are rewarding bad behavior" By not let individuals and institutions fail we are circumventing capitalism. Robbing opportunities for competing company's and speculative investors.
These institutions have/had shareholders who placed their bets in the market....who trusted their management teams to succeed...and they lost...in a big way. We should let those shareholders experience the full magnitude of their risk/reward.
These Banks and insurance company's took huge leveraged risks...to get huge leveraged gains.....let them realize their losses...When they start calling all the notes they have...(if they can find em) the other institutions will be there to profit in the re-writing of the debt.
Ben Bernanke Fed chair says:
"You live in a wooden house real close to your neighbors and your neighbor is smoking in bed , we could punish him and not call the fire department but risk our house burning down too"
Well Ben, my neighbor built two spec houses" To Make Money" and smokes in bed doused in gasoline and he walked away from those "investments". and you know what he probably isn't going to make his credit card payments either or pay his property taxes, or parking tickets either. I guess I'll pay for that too through higher taxes.
I did not hear one word on personal responsibility of the American people to suck it up pay the debts they signed up for! Liquidate and get out of debt?
What the Hell happen to debtors Prison?
These financial institutions need to be broken up...That's what the feds should do. Let the free and invisible hand of capitalism sort out the strong from the weak, why must every franchise bank survive?
Friedman said " In the record of history there is no alternative so far discovered of improving ordinary peoples lives that can hold a candle to the productive activity of a free enterprise system"" Under no other system in history have the masses been able to escape grinding poverty without capitalism and free trade.
President Obama
Should every American be entited to a home? No way!!!! there are a lot of people in the USA who are not responsible enough or have prepared themselves by... OMG "Saving" their money to own a home.
Home ownership shouldn't be a gov't sponsored right!!!The fulfillment of the dream of home ownership comes with sacrifice, not government assistance!!!
Greed is Good !!!! Just don't ask me to pay for my neighbors greed and recklessness!!!

David,
I am in and I'll bet we can easily recruit Dr. Chuck. Those who think the gov't is here to help us, I fear will be sadly mistaken.

I know many who did the same thing, and all they are punished with is bad credit. The banks take back the houses and they don't have to pay back the debt. I lost 500k in a business, and I had to pay that money back. These people were flipping houses as a business and when it goes south they just walk away. I would like to see these people in prison. |

I'm in on the tea party as long as I can drive my Cobra there.
Funny how argumentative it gets when discussing the how the current administration plans on getting us out the last administration's hole...
I for one am hopeful that things will work out and President Obama can fly out to an aircraft carrier and pontificate beneath a "Mission Accomplished" sign.

I don't think this is necessarily a partisan issue. I think everyone hopes America will get out of this economic turn down and look to a better day. I hope Democrats and Republicans alike understand that when you find yourself in a hole...the first thing you do is stop digging.

Do some research on Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. The Dems are to blame for a lot of the current problems, and the current administration is digging us a deeper hole. |

The hole (deficit) was dug a very long time ago.
