I called my stockbroker and asked him what I should be buying.

He said, "If the current administration is in office much longer, canned goods and ammunition are your best bet."

Better get that bunker built. :D

I May Not Have To Worry

...I am resigned to the belief that nothing is going to get better until after the 2012 election...

And if the majority of Americans don't vote thoughtfully in 2012, we'll be saying things won't get better until 2016.

Y'know, if some pretty good voting decisions aren't made pretty soon, I'm not going to have to worry about the results.

:beer3: I still chuckle when I think of that picture with him in the tank wearing that helmet.:jester:

LOL......thought about mentioning that too, but the "barely breathing" guy saying such a profound statement was what I wanted to focus on.

Speaking of that dopey tank scene, have you ever seen Susan Estrich, his campaign manager talk about what she thought when she saw that tank driving scene on t.v. and she had not been advised of it before? She is the funniest person (with Carol Channing type voice), and hearing her tell about how idiotic and game-ending that scene was is hysterical.

This Hope and Change, evidently from Bush, has been going real well. Obama inherited from Bush a AAA Credit rating and 5.7% unemployment and has really turned things around. He changed course and has really got the nation moving. Moving down the road to ruin, but moving it is.

And it was Sarah Palin who was the person everyone was scared of with her message of fiscal austerity and individual rights to build a life unencumbered by the heavy hand of government?

If it wasn't so stupid, it would be almighty funny.

I thought he was going to be another Jimmy Carter, I was wrong, he is much worse! How can this guy have a 40% approval rating?

Easy, they only poll the middle and the left.

No. I think it is because most Americans know that a 2 % tax increase on the rich would have avoided this market drop. I bet the rich are down more than 2% now. Greedy ^%$#@^&^$'s got what they deserve. If the market don't turn around, I may have to go back to work.. Thanks to the GOP and the Tea Party. I am a conservative, but this was handled wrong by my GOP and now we lower income people have to suffer.

Right on VK, I am glad to see someone with some thought and factual information speaks out. I am so frustrated with the right wing extremists yelling and screaming so loud so as to obscure their culpability in the obvious failure of this county to manage it's economy.

When they stop issuing SS checks and my military pension drys up I will just issue IOUs like the government is issuing to me. What goes around comes around.

So when I get mine you get yours. What a deal.

The House passed the bill. Obama was warned that if he didn't tell the Senate to vote on it and pass it, this was going to happen. Obama did nothing, of course, and now we are paying for it, big time. Thanks again for voting "present" Obama.

You are so wrong, but I respect your right to guess.

Obama knew it was the right thing to do but it would not look so good on his "campaign trail".
