Don't Mock Supply Side Jesus!

Senator - what economy are you talking about?

Really nice.

Hope it gets some airtime.

I like it, but hey, I'm not the group that seems to like Palin without knowing anything about her except what her promoters say. Seems to me that Obama has to target that audience without targetting Palin.

Bill Clinton also criticized the supply side economic philosophy in 1992 to great effect. I can't help but think he mentioned this to Obama in their recent meeting.

FINALLY. This should be on the air nationally tomorrow and the next day and the day after that and the day after that . . . .

And if anyone catches this on TV, could you pass along the crowd reaction to this, please?

Gloves, off. Punch, landed.

The great thing about Obama hitting him on this is that McCain has made the mistake numerous times. He can't spin away from it.

Stay down, Old Man! Stay down!!! Heh.

Obama will win this election on the issues. Palin-McCain are too stupid to see out country's dim outlook.

That should be kindergartener

Also accuses McCain for stealing his lines in pushing his message of “change.” “Instead of borrowing my lines, he needs to borrow some of our ideas.”

McCain poached "Enough is enough!" in his speech earlier this morning.

What we face today is the result of over 20 years of GOP deregulation madness. After the great depression we put in play all kinds of regulations meant to stop what is happening now. But Republicans, and the lobbyists that got them elected, fought for years to have those regulations thrown out.

The Enron debacle and the mortgage/credit crisis and some even say the popping of the tech bubble can all be traced back to deregulation. Further, deregulation can be traced back to the people running McCain's campaign, especially Phil Gram.

Of course Obama would have a hard time making that case because a lot of this happened during the Clinton administration and because explaining it is not easy and doesn't fit into sound bites easily digestible by low info voters.

The sad part is, if the Republican candidate (not specifically McCain) wore a swastika, handed out cocaine at rallies, and took a dump on the Lincoln memorial, 30% of Americans would still vote for him.

Hi,

I wanted to draw your attention to this important petition that I recently signed:

"Impeach Senator Barack Obama"
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/obamaimpeachment?e

I really think this is an important cause, and I'd like to encourage you to add your signature, too. It's free and takes less than a minute of your time.

Thanks!

Now we need to see McCain's gaffe in an ad.

OK now, once again, Ob has to take this little gift and ram it down McSlug's throat so he's gagging on it for the next 7 WEEKS! He cannot let up and wait for the next gaffe.

No matter what Mc says always reply with "How can you fix what you helped to break? How can you reform a government with the same lobbyists who created the problem in the first place? How can you help working families when your own advisors think that their problems are all in their heads? How can you understand what anyone but the rich are going through when you are divorced from the daily lives of Americans? etc"

Demand answers that he cannot give.

Above comment about supply side economics was intended to be sarcastic.

The best part now about anything that McCain says it can be quickly accounted to his dishonesty. At least for now.

The only reason AIG avoided crashing and burning today is that the Feds made a decision to allow it to borrow money from its subsidiaries. Now, if that's not rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, I don't know what is. With stakes like these, anyone who votes for McLame and Miss Piggy certainly cannot be accused of voting his or her pockebook!

I think NOW is time to unveil the Keating5 stuff.

And lots of pictures of Phil Gramm, his wife, and Enron.

Phil Gramm, McCain's financial adviser, is the architect of the current financial crisis. Check out this passage from an article by Ed Lake of the Star-Telegram in Fort Worth, Texas:

Lay, DeLay, Gramm, Gramm & Clinton

"The late, infamous Enron head, Ken Lay, realized in the eighties that he could make more money bidding up energy in the futures market than by actually creating and selling energy. But, under then-current rules, how much you could make swapping paper was limited. Fortuitously, Lay had excellent Texas political connections; and in November of 1992, the head of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission moved to exempt energy-derivative contracts and related swaps from any government oversight.

A vote was hurriedly put together before the Clinton White House would take over, and so Lay could finally start "dark" – unregulated – futures trading. The head of the CFTC was Wendy Gramm, wife of Texas Senator Phil Gramm; five weeks after she left, she became a board member of Enron in Houston.

Fast-forward to late 2000 and H.R. 5660, the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000, sponsored by Republican Congressman Thomas Ewing of Illinois. That bill went nowhere, even though Tom Delay’s wife Christine was then working for a Washington lobbying firm, Alexander Strategies – which Enron had paid $200,000 to push through legislation for permanent energy deregulation in these "dark" markets.

Six months later came Senate Bill 3283, also named the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000. This time around the sponsor was Republican Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, and now Phil Gramm was listed as one of the bill’s co-sponsors. Like it had in the House, this bill was destined to go nowhere until, late one night, it was attached as a rider to an 11,000-page appropriations bill – which was signed into law by President Clinton.

Now traders had an officially deregulated market for energy futures. Worse, that bill also deregulated many financial instruments – including the collateralized debt obligations that are at the center of today’s mortgage crisis, which may well cost us more than $1 trillion before it’s over."

McCain wasn't talking about the "American spirit". He was talking about the fundamentals. Obama exclaimed it well today.

"What's more fundamental than the ability to find a job that pays the bills and can raise a family? What's more fundamental than knowing that your life savings is secure, and that you can retire with dignity? What's more fundamental than knowing that you'll have a roof over your head at the end of the day? What's more fundamental than that?

The fundamentals we use to measure economic strength are whether we are living up to that fundamental promise that has made this country great - that promise that America is the place where you can make it if you try - a promise that is the only reason that we are standing here today."

Got to admit, Obama really knows how to uncork the one-line zinger.

I'm anxious to see the debates.

Thanks.

McCain said "the fundamentals of the ecomomy are strong". He said this at his first townhall meeting.

There is no going around that. McCain has said this before as well.

McCain's talking about his $5millionaire middle class economy...

McCain is playing the Reformer ploy again.
He'll clean up Washington, etc.
He'll clean up Wall Street.
He'll clear out the lobbyists.

Senator McCain, have you no shame, sir?"

Calling the spin-doctor, calling the spin-doctor--do you copy, over...

McCain you are so foolish. US economic fundamentals are not 'strong'. Where have you been for the past year? Oh-- In one of your seven-ten houses; depending on what the definition of house is. You sir are a moronic, incompetent republican puppet, a dwindling shadow of your former self.

You say the fundamentals are the American worker's-- we'll jobs are being lost and sent overseas thanks to you. Good lookin out for the fundamentals.

Have you guys marked that the MSM will only tell what Obama told only and only after they are done talking about McCain and Palin. What kind of a ritual is that? Just reminds me of black folks taking a back seat in the bus!!!!
