Nose cutting and face spiting
In order to look presidential while not actually being presidential, John McCain on Wednesday tried to one-up Barack Obama using our decaying American economy as a backdrop/prop but Barack won. He made the good decision. He showed sound judgement.
So many good, decent people will be hurt due to eight years of Republican administration of our money. The GOP will sacrifice them to the gods just to keep Barack from getting ahead 10 points in the polls, in key battleground states.
Look what Harry Reid had to say.
Then
and Now

President Bush on the Economy
I heard President Bush tonight but I'm not scared because I don't have a hundred grand in the bank. I am also unemployed and wasn't going to be one of the ones getting a bank loan for a house or a car. I like to be able to afford the things a get.
He said:
For more than a decade we got lots of foreign dollars and we had low interest rates and people enjoyed that. Easy credit and falling home values and bad credit risks and adjustable rate mortgages and supply exceeding demand and mortgage defaults brought us to this point. And little regulation of the financial industry.
Mortgage backed securities sold around the world were bad. Many of these belonging to Freddie and Fannie Mac and questionable investments by those two led us to this crisis.
After people stopped buying and selling MBS because people were defaulting on their loans banks stopped lending money and the financial gears ground to a halt, bailouts started happening.
Then President Bush started to scare me. He said Retirement Accounts would dry up and people could loose their jobs. Like more than normal--like everybody. (then we'd be like a third world country)if this bailout wasn't passed.
He said he and Sens. Obama and McCain and other important people will discuss all of this Thursday.
Taxpayer money is involved and he wants input.
The $700 billion is to purchase that MBS. The government is going to buy and hold those securities until the financial markets are better.
I hope this is worked out because now, I'm really scared.
When I was in college and credit card companies extended credit to my 18-year-old jobless self, my parents bailed me out when I didn't pay them.
After that, I had to pay them myself. Then I learned to be more responsible. I got tired of working and having no money after bill paying.
I guess that is an over-simplified example.
Obama has been keeping up with all of this so he is informed, Chris Dodd, Chairman of the Sen. Banking Committee, said. He said McCain is a come-lately fellow who hasn't been keeping up.
"I'haven't heard a word from John McCain," is what he said.
I trust Obama and what he says. Pay attention America, this involves you.

Both Sens. Obama and McCain will meet with President Bush Thursday
President Bush invited Sen. Barack Obama to the White House for a meeting Thursday after Sen. John McCain called off his participation in Friday's scheduled presidential debates in Mississippi. Both men will meet with the president tomorrow.
McCain said that he was quitting his campaign and the debates because he was needed in Washington D.C., however, several banking committee members said they had been moving along fine without him since he had not bothered to offer help before. In contrast, Obama said he calls and keeps in contact with who he needs to to make sure he is on task. He said they'd let him know if he was needed.
Cool, Obama went back to work. McCain decided to go ahead and call-off anyway.
Nowadays, people use cell phones, telephones, fax machines, text messages, couriers, and video meetings to keep in contact.
It was said that McCain was pulling another political stunt by not wanting to show up at the debates. He even tried to one-up Obama by giving a preemptive televised press conference announcing that he would not be at the debates because the sky was falling. The sky has been falling for at least a week now.
Obama suggested at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday that they issue a joint statement and six hours later, McCain informed Obama they should skip the debates.
Obama said no, of course, because he, like many functioning Americans, can do two things at once. And he has a competent staff. And he is not scared to debate McCain. And even if he had some apprehension, he would never, ever run from a fight. Or a debate.
Shame on McCain! The Sarah Palin trick was flashier. This one was lame, like anyone still supporting the McCain/Palin ticket. They even managed to ruin the woman-for- president thing 'cause they got Palin on a pedestal, prancing her in front of our male allies like she is for sale. This is not Hookers on the Point, this is a presidential election. Why couldn't someone say, "Gov. Palin, you're so smart! Or honest, or authentic--etc."
"Oh, you're so pretty Gov. Palin!"
GMAFB!
Okay, hold the blog. I just heard a reference to the phrase, "spearchucker" on the "Worst Person in the World" segment on MSNBC. WTF?!
