Do you guys really think that it will only be 700 billion to clean this up??? I've heard rumors of the T word being used. Trillion. Any one want to bet a nice needle fishplug? How about blue?

Regardless of the reality--the perception among most of the electorate will be that McCain came in and blew up a done deal. Unless something is hashed out today--and the actual blame crosses party lines and is centered in the House--get ready for President Obama.

Not to worry, Obama said, "call me if you need me." :rolleyes:

Talk about pretentious and not having a grasp on the seriousness of this problem.

Judging from comments on last nights news it appears that both sides of the aisle are stating that the presence of McCain & Obama is detrimental to the debate on the economic turmoil as it immediately infuses politics into what had been rational across the aisle cooperation.

This is the hard core right wing of House Republicans. They don't give a rat's ass about McCain. To them, he's always been a "RINO" and a closet liberal. They'd rather see an Obama win, pray that he flops, and get one of their true believers in there in 2012.

Palin at #2 wasn't enough of a sop to them.

thank you house repbulicans for putting the brakes on a rushed deal.

i know this a little off topic? Anybody see the Sarry Palin/ Katie Couric interview?

I think Palin is a little short on intellectual horsepower. I need to know if John McCain can hold on for the next 4 years because Palin at the #1 spot is concerning. If Obama is bad off the cuff, Palin is just plain sleeveless.

Anyone who didn't see the interview should read the text....then tell me this woman is fit for the VP job.

Got a link?

i dont think thats all of it. They are airing more of the interview tonight, so some has not been released yet.

Painful performance for Palin...fortunantly, the news cycle is busy. She still looks good though.

Nobama is no better, he says he has visited 57 states during his campaign. Is he including his stops on the European tour?

that was painful and her naition-building comments really tick me off.
I can care less if other countries are democratic. Thats why we have nuclear weapons. Sand, rock and ash are no threat to our way of life. I dont want kids dying to bring democracy to people that wont fight for it themselves.

I thought she was your new messiah :-P

Debate is back on.
Game on tonight.

This guy is usually a lefty looney

It was painful to watch that interview, but that's what you get in a "got you" forum. Courics mission was to make her look bad. Palin sure has alot of work to do before the debates. I'm worried, but I know who I'm not voting for.

No, Couric's mission was to test her. It was up to Palin to succeed or fail...

-spence

yep..

Bingo do I hear Bingo. :btu:

I didnt see that last night (from either side...)

At least you wear your true colors now.
