as the press has reported many times these last weeks. Interesting that Bear making an observation that is conventional wisdom should be voted down,

Is that similar to what Bush said about the UN when he tried to get his authorization to go to war?

Like flying over any other disaster area, it shows he's on top of things, and feels for us.

Has he flown over Wall Street yet?

He wants to create those buying opportunities for his buddies. You know, the vultures.

Ya gotta wonder. How does the guy sleep at night? Are any of these folks asking themselves, "How could I have been so stupid?"

Jesus, who are these 23%?

Quote:
Record 90 percent of voters say country is seriously off track.

According to a new ABC poll, 90 percent of registered voters say the country is going in the wrong direction. Only 23 percent approve of President Bush:

Given the global economic crisis, a record 90 percent of registered voters say the country is seriously off on the wrong track, the most since this question first was asked in 1973. At 23 percent, Bush’s job approval rating has fallen below Nixon’s lowest; it’s a point away from the lowest in 70 years of polling, set by Harry Truman in early 1952. Bush’s disapproval, meanwhile, is at an all-time record — 73 percent. … Reflecting these economic worries, just 44 percent of Americans are confident they’ll have enough money to carry them through retirement.

In August, a USA Today/Gallup poll found that 80 percent of the electorate said the country is headed in the wrong direction.

JTT, I'm sure you realize there's an inconsistency in those numbers, or there is either a math error or a mistake in logic. How can 90% of the country say we're "seriously off track," but 23% still thinks Bush is doing a good job? 73 plus 23 = 96. Somewhere between the 90% and 96% is the black hole. Or is it 113% (90% plus 23%) LOL

I got it: there are some who think that it's OK that he is off-track. Those are the ones that are benefitting from his incomeptence.

Mr Bush has just been on TV. A giant U-turn. A Marxist nationalisation of the banks. Which means the nationalisation of everything. They are to be put back into the private sector "when things stabilise."

"No way" was said about this trick not more than a couple of weeks ago.

According to the commentators two of the banks refused the offer but were told by Mr Paulson that it was their "patriotic duty" to lie back and think of America.

Republicanism has changed. Marx will be giggling in his grave.

Loans will now have to be approved by the government.

This text accompanied the comic strip.

Quote:
To stimulate lending, the bailout plan will attempt to recapitalize banks. The method of recapitalization is best described as robbing Taxpayer Pete to pay Wall Street Paul. In essence, money is taken from the poor (via taxes, printing, and weakening of the dollar) and given to the wealthy so the wealthy supposedly will have enough money to lend back (at interest) to those who have just been robbed.
