Open Thread * Dow Closing * “Hillary Clinton, For the Hour”

BREAKING NEWS via CNN: “At the final bell, the Dow drops below 8,000 for the first time since 2003 amid worries over the auto industry’s future.”

NOW, an OPEN THREAD! With a bonus:

THIS is the Charlie Rose interview that blew my socks off a few years ago. As I watched it, I realized that this woman would be able to take any high position — including the presidency — and be one of the best in history at that job.

I first referred to this interview in my post the other night.

OPEN THREAD TOO!

  • Kal

    Hillary 2012, 2016, or asap!!

    PUMA!!

    Whatever Hillary wants is alright with me.

  • POdVet

    Like I said right here at NQ during Obama’s first press conference as President elect. I still expect the DOW to drop all the way to 7000. I’d like to be wrong, but sadly all signs are pointing to it happening.

  • AnninCA

    If we could remove sexism, overly-heated partisanship, etc.

    She was perfect.

    She remains and will always be, to me, one of the “best and the brightest” in our country.

    I so, so deeply admire her.

  • I’m a Linda too

    OH, was THAT the reason? Now it’s because of fears on the auto industry bail out. I’m sure Nancy P worked hard to get that in the media.

    I kinda think it might be the severe deflation that was unexpected and the lowest amount of new homes being built….and that the obvious, we have O-shit! and the Democrats leading driving our economy in to the ground.

    Something Bill Ayers probably calls economic vandalism. :)

  • Steve1

    I believe the Dow is pressuring for another bailout. Let the open work out its own problems…is the government going to bailout the middle class? Where is our lb of gold? Shit, Big corporations looking for welfare…

  • Willo

    I’m freaking on the DOW closing. I sort of thought things were going to hell in a hand basket the beginning of September and got the heck out of the market. The only stock I own now is in Bud… PPl are going to drink in good times and bad! Poor auto execs, should have flown coach to beg for a bail out.

  • Soldier of Christ

    I still having thousands of people going to my clients bars and restaurants- having drinks on Friday and Saturday- getting in line for the latest movie- Now we have Linens and Things saying they are going out of business- but careerminded people know it is to close and reopen with a new federal id number and a new store. Please! After closing and showing a loss and not paying Uncle Sam- the old evil ways come out when nobody is suppose to be watching. Kmart did it, and now others are sneaky doing it and thinking “we” are not watching them. The greedy people in wallstreet are playing with our funds and our lives, while the old farmer is looking at the DOW, the foxes(retail stores-car manufactures) are stealing Uncle Sam’s money. The media is the one at fault with this- everyday for 8 years we had to hear about how bad it was in Iraq- over and over and over- Now we hear how bad our economy is doing over and over and over. I think somebody better tell the customers in Florida, they all are shopping for the holidays.

  • csuzeq

    some experts say it will go down to 5,000

  • Doc99

    Is China waiting in the wings? Turns out the no. 1 foreign car in China is Buick.

  • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

    I’m so glad that in the financial position we are in that we are handing the keys to the Kingdom to Fraudbama, Pelosi, and the rest of the liberal criminals. My stockbroker, for the first time ever, said to get out of the market. He never said that, never. Always said to keep the money there and the market would correct itself. And January 20th we get a guy who knows nothing, will be focusing on his campaign for 2012, and his campaign for “World Ruler” and then what? It’s not looking good.

  • Steve1

    market

  • John D

    This week is option expiration week, so it tends to be more volatile, especially with the uncertainty of auto bailouts. I expect things to calm down next week.

  • Belarus

    You’re going to blame Obama for the DOW??

    I think that’s pretty unreasonable. He’s not even president yet. Obama has had no influence on our current economic woes. It’s entirely Bush’s baby.

    The DOW is down because the Big 3 auto companies are not very likely to get the bailout. They pleaded with Congress again today for the second day.

  • csuzeq

    When she is SOS, I will call her madam President.

    That cheater thing that one I call Token. No accompishments, just the token AA. Don’t care if anyone likes it or not. It is true. he is unaccomplished and only there to pacify the AAs and they accept him as their symbol. As a women I would be ashamed if that was our symbol. someone who never earned anything and just got the big job handed to him for the sake of phoney history. Good luck to AAs if that is your symbol of success, getting a free ride and a free pass.

    My symbol is Madam President, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

    I won’t accept some token who hasn’t earned it, but has boobs either! since it won’t be Hillary, you can keep the woman history thing until after I die.

  • Sarracuda

    if we keep on bailing these people out, the US Government is gonna run out of money, we will end up with money that is worthless. Sometimes its the right thing to let these things fail, it will teach them not to screw up in the first place. I was against the bailout from day 1, if John McCain had voted against the bailout he might have won the election, instead he did the exact OPPOSITE of what the American people wanted. The stupid bailout FAILED, why should we bail out these automakers for their crappy cars. How about they make better cars so people might want to buy them

  • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

    Uh, no it’s not “Bush’s baby.” Have you ever heard of Fannie and Freddie? Man, when do you guys start getting real about the damage the liberals have done to this country.

  • John D

    If you trade stock, you will know stock market is about future. So of course it drops because investors have no confidence in Bawack, no confidence in his socialist agenda.

    I am net short, so I am OK. One of my holding is up 20% today. Feeling so patriotic to pay Uncle Sam my capital gain tax. hahaha…

  • tek

    Spot on! Where’s our bailout. I didn’t produce anything anybody wanted last year so I need about 5 million.

  • WasLNbutNoBamaBotsKeepStealingMyName

    Yes, I’m going to blame BO for the Dow…the market reflects the future, not the present…and the market sees nothing but doom and gloom in an obama presidency…hence the slide.

  • hadenough

    BREAKING NEWS via CNN: “At the final bell, the Dow drops below 8,000 for the first time since 2003 amid worries over the auto industry’s future.”

    Good news for obama!

  • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

    Yes but one of the bigger problems we are facing is the fact that no one has faith in OVomit so they are going to move their companies out of our country. There go jobs and revenue. This morning a friend of mine from a small town wrote and said that the owner of the biggest factory there, that employs most of the people in the town, is moving the company overseas. More and more of that is happening because of OVomit socialistic nonsense. I would imagine that is going to affect the market too. I know people here are being beaten into submission to join the OVomit kool-aid drinkers. Not me. I see how the country is reacting to him before he even gets into office.

  • John D

    You are so right. Anybody who trades stock knows this. Stock is trading on future. Like even earning for this quarter is good, if guidance for next quarter is gonna be bad, the stock will drop. Simple as that.

    Bawack predicted doom and gloom when he campaigned, well, now he will get doom and gloom.

  • HEY PALIN,..AFRICA IS A CONTINENT!

    What is with the outlandish comments about Obama’s agenda?…”rule thew world”…”king obama”…Listen, I voted for Obama,… but I’ll be damned if I let someone tell me what to do…Obama, as good of a President I think he will eventually be, will never, ever,.. RUN MY LIFE!…So all of you men and grown women, need to stop talking like scared little children about to get their behinds whipped!…Grow a pair!..yeah, ladies too…toughen up and stop thinking that ONE PERSON CAN CONTROL YOUR DAMN LIFE!

  • POdVet

    Obama does have an influence on the markets. He’s naming his incoming cabinet members, and those selections are driving the unstable market down even further. His economic advisers are a bunch of corrupt or incompetent politicians and lobbyists. So people can see the change heading for the economy isn’t what they had hoped for, and is in fact exact opposite of what is needed in many cases. Naming people who sat on the boards of Fannie and Freddie when they were submitting false numbers to increase their executive bonuses, to his cabinet is most certainly the wrong message. He’s seriously saying…Believe in me and I’ll take the guy who just ripped you off and made you lose your home pay for it! But in the small print he writes…*By giving him a promotion, a nice office and more power to screw you poor people even more!*

  • notrees

    That is why the best investment would be in paper. Lots of paper. ;(

    Dow is setting up for a huge rebound come Friday. So sit tight and enjoy the ride.

    There has never been a liberal in a position to do anything to this country.

  • hadenough

    The “liberal” blogs are in the middle of yet another melt down.

    sirota at openleft:
    And the fact that so many people seem so utterly divorced from reality – so utterly consumed and blinded by their support for Obama – that they cannot see this (or simply refuse to admit it) is really a bad sign for what’s to come.

    That is funny stuff. Of course during the primaries nobody, no nobody screamed racism louder than sirota. He cultivated the crazies. Now he complains when the harvest comes in.

  • John D

    Fact: Bawack will never be my president, just like Bush was never my president.

  • Benjamin

    Wow, watching this interview got me all choked up. What a tragedy this entire election season has been – that we were literally robbed of the chance to have a brilliant and passionate leader like HRC.

    Her candidacy this year inspired me like no other. Hell no, I ain’t forgetting or ready to forgive the Democratic Party for shoving her aside in favor of the Elmer Gantry of politics, Barrack Obama.

    Can you IMAGINE where we would be now if Hillary would have had the Nomination? She would be POTUS and I believe the country would have united behind her. Look what we have now. A total bust and a joke. Sigh.

  • lark

    You’re going to blame Obama for the DOW

    No. Now Obiden is now officially in the office of the Elected President and the dow is on his watch. It is sinking because Obambi came out for the bailout but with strings attached. Since he thrives on chaos he did not clarify anything or called out the strings in specific details. So no one knows what is his opinion or what he will approve or not approve. That satisfy his appetite for chaos but the Dow will sink on it. Why? Because Barack needs others to do his thinking and he needs others to put their necks out before he will take any position. Yes, the Dow may sink to 5K easily if Obambi continues with fuzzy political posturing.

    I am just waiting to hear Obama offer the ownership of the auto manufacturers to the labor unions. But not before Ayers comes out with the right formula.

  • NoBO


    Excuse me but the ^DJI dipped way below 8,000 to about 7800 on Oct 6 and was lower at one point on Thursday than it closed at today.

  • hootnannie

    The market is certainly going to be influenced if people have no faith in the competency of the President-elect or if they think he will try to implement far-left measures. All he can presently do is to appoint to high positions people whom the American public knows and trusts to have the experience and intelligence to perform the duties of their upcoming jobs. Does anyone seriously believe Eric Holder can’t handle being AG? Yet, the MSM hand-wrings about him being on duty when Bill Clinton made a controversial pardon. Not surprisingly, they don’t want Bobo gathering up Clintonistas. They ignored everything about him being a cutthroat Chicago pol, and now that he’s behaving like an elected official and not a messiah, they’re sputtering!

  • lark

    Ayers is what is in the news.

  • Benjamin

    Actually, Fannie and Freddie were part of FDR’s New Deal. However, the Community Reinvestment Act was passed under Carter.

  • Donna Brazile

    I mean the seven he added during the primaries (i.e., 57 states).

  • hadenough

    OMFG…Fannie and freddy worked just fine 30 years ago, fannie and freddy worked just fine 8 years ago. Not perfect but just fine. See 30 year old mortgages are not a problem, 8 to 12 year old mortgages are not a problem. But the last 5 to 6 years? Big problem. Now if you want, and I guess you do, you can blame Carter who president more than 27 years ago and you can blame Clinton who was president more than 7 years ago for the current mess. But I can’t help but notice you skip over members of the party that controlled most levers of government during most of that time.

  • lark

    Where’s my 5 million too.

    Gov. Sarah Palin has endured a barrage of shameful, false, unfair and ugly attacks against her, but now she is speaking out, defending herself, and fighting back – and she needs our support! We begin with a “Thank You Sarah Palin” television ad campaign that will run this Thanksgiving, as a grateful nation thanks Gov. Palin for her upstanding record of public service and her uplifting advocacy for common sense conservative values.
    The Our Country Deserves Better Committee is producing the pro-Palin TV ad that features Americans thanking Sarah Palin for her efforts as a public servant, her enthusiastic promotion of conservative principles, and the grace and dignity with which she conducted herself during the campaign — even as she faced daily attacks from the media, Barack Obama’s campaign, and many in the Washington political establishment.

    She’s under haavy attack now. They are trying to destroy her good name. SEXISM IS RAMPANT.

  • Northwest rain

    Since this is an open thread —

    ‘After numerous rounds of ‘We don’t even know if
    Osama is still alive’, Barrack Hussein Obama has now been telling
    everyone he will capture Osama Bin Laden when elected.’

    So, Osama himself decided to send Barrack Hussein Obama a letter in his
    own handwriting to let him know he was still in the game.

    Obama opened the letter and it contained a single line of coded message:

    370H-SSV-0773H

    Obama was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Howard Dean.

    Dean and the DNC and his aides had no clue either, so they sent it to Joe
    Biden.

    Joe Biden could not solve so it was sent to the FBI and the CIA.

    Eventually they asked John McCain and his Staff to look at it.

    And within a few minutes McCain’s Staff e-mailed Obama with this reply:
    ‘Tell Obama he’s holding the message upside down’.

  • Northwest rain

    YEA!! I vote for this suggestion!!

  • Louie

    The market is failing because of Bush’s policies, and the stupidity and greed of a bunch of dumb rich guys.

    It’s unfortunate Obama is apparently not bringing on the needed talent to correct the situation, it will NOT come from guys like Larry Summers, as Obama is also in the white house because of a bunch of dumb rich guys.

    He’ll either get it, and reverse course, or will let it slide, until they have another crisis, the economy still sinking.

    Worse, Obama is appointing, god help us , DASCHLE as HHS secretary.

    What might have seemed good a year or two ago is no longer relevant, really, it’s too bad they chose to put such unqualified people in the white house.

    Again.

Leo feels that they will hold a hearing on the motion which will be to decide the case. Folk this is important because of 1 reason, there is 5 Republican Judges and 4 Democrat Judge on the court. Leo feels that they will find in his favor.

  • cynic

    Half of American middle class baby boomers probably grew up in homes their parents bought through Fannie Mac, Freddie Mac, and by way of VA insured loans. Millions of those same people later bought their own homes by relying on the same programs.

    Don’t blame the programs–which have served the nation very well indeed–or the party that brought them into being. Blame a generation of greedy bastards infesting the financial services industry who exploited them to line their own pockets.

    By the way, the cult of deregulation that made the whole era of exploitation possible wasn’t a democratic invention. Please refer to Ronald Reagan and his republican successors: the same people who brought you supply-side economics, trickle-down theory, and a 10 trillion dollar national debt.

  • beebop

    This would be funnier if the possibility of this didn’t loom so large.

  • snosandy

    And how about those of us who bought our houses during bidding wars and they have since lost 25% of their value? We continue to make our payments every month (have never been late) on a home that’s worth less than its mortgage. I want my share, too.

  • Katmoon

    I thought I was safe trying the news for the first time since the election, and I hear Senator Clinton and President Clinton are once again the topic for the nitwit patrol to make their paychecks, so I’ll stay away some more, not from NQ, but “news”(acck!) Notice there are a lot of new faces, or maybe just new to me on NQ; hopefully many of the regulars are still posting as well. A much needed time off for me after the election and the ending of this semester, but glad to be here and read and share again tonight.

    Look for a comprehensive plan shortly after the inauguration. I suspect it’s going to hit the ground rolling and be a mile down the road before obstructionists can draw a bead on it. It’ll be fine-tuned as it goes.

  • jdona

    You should go read the article on Fox News where the comment that “Palin thought Africa was a country” was proven to be false, and used as a hoax to stick a thumb in the eye of the media for their one sided media coverage. Palin never said that at all. It was fabricated and then broadcast everywhere as fact because the media didn’t do its job of checking out stories before it was broadcast. Quite an interesting read.

    ROFLMAO what are you basing this on troll? He never had a plan, not once. So now you think he magically got one? He’s probably terrified about the mess he’s walking into.

  • cynic

    Obama hasn’t been empowered to do anything yet. He’s in no way responsible for any of our current economic woes.

    Nor is our current democratic majority, which is now confronted with circumstances that have resulted from years of continuous republican control of the executive and legislative branches. Bush’s intransigence has blocked meaningful change during the past 2 years. Here’s a guy who simply thumbs his nose at legislation by issuing a signing statement.

    Obama and the democrats are about to take control in earnest because a majority of voters fully understand that.

    “I love it.” is in fact, an opinion since it isn’t quantified or generally agreed upon as correct information.

    Take your opinion and run along.

  • jbjd

    Please stop assuming the electoral college will cast their votes for him. Just because the majority of voters voted for him – and they are entitled to pick the flim flam man as their President – this does not mean the electoral college has to vote for him, unless he proves to them, he is a natural born citizen. (But in case he continues to refuse to cooperate in a full vetting, we are trying to perfect a case that will survive Obama’s claims of no standing.)

    They were complicit, and benefited financially, many of those democrats, from their lobbyist connections.

    To pretend otherwise is to be disingenuous, or ignorant.

    Given the financial men behind the scene are the same for both parties, I’m not expecting anything different.

  • bob

    It’s not about riots or if the birth certificate is real, it’s about a law that deals with this issue. Let’s assume the birth certificate isn’t real. What law or rule do we defer to, to deal with the removal of a president who’s found to not be a citizen? Is there anything in the Constitution that specifically and directly addresses this issue?

  • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

    You are a troll, you have to be. Otherwise you would understand that the Dems are some of the most corrupt ones in Congress. Nancy Pelosi has put 92 Million in her pocket. I hope you feel great about that when you pay your own bills. Rahm Emanuel took 19 Million from his Wall Street dealings. All of the thieves who took money from Freddie and Fannie? Dems. Chris Dodd, Clintons, Obama. How about Franklin Raines making 90 Million on Fannie and Freddie? These are ALL DEMS. The only thing McCain had to do with this is try to regulate it in 2005 but he got voted down. Give me a break. The liberals trash the economy and have the nerve to blame Bush.

    I am SO glad it’s all Dems now. We can finally get over the ridiculous blaming the GOP for everything down to cold sores. You got it Dems..total control. And when you screw it up, which you will, thank GOD in 2010 GOP back in Congress and a GOP POTUS in 12. IF this country survives this Obama “Presidency.”

  • Amazon Queen

    FAct: I don’t give a shit

  • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

    Yes it’s called Article II of the Constitution. Obama isn’t President yet. The electors have to vote. He hasn’t been sworn in. I would imagine that Biden would get the job if it happened AFTER he was sworn in. If we get lucky, and it happens BEFORE, then I think the electors would have to vote for McCain because to vote for Fraudbama would be committing fraud too.

  • bob

    And if the electoral college votes for him anyway? Is there any recourse then?

    Impeachment is for high crimes and misdemeanors. Obama would simply say that he THOUGHT he was a citizen. Intent carries the day where the law is concerned.

  • Louie

    Yes but one of the bigger problems we are facing is the fact that no one has faith in OVomit so they are going to move their companies out of our country
    ——–
    Though I might agree with your statement superficially, I think the major blow up is due to a realization Bush’s policies have done permanent harm, this is hardly business as usual.

    Meaning, I think they’re reacting more to the economic news, and the bankruptcies, the war, AIG, the major well street firms and banks failing, than they are to Obama’s presidency.

    And I don’t think Obama is bringing on the right people to solve this crisis, whatsoever, and that is unfortunate, but I don’t know that the markets, say, with a Clinton Presidency, would have acted any differently. And the markets are hardly the reliable harbinger they once were, given their erratic behavior.

    We’re in a lot of shit because of Cheney’s Don Juan quest to prove supply side viable.

    It’s not.

    And Obama is NOT Lincoln, and is NOT Roosevelt, really, those people need to watch what they eat, he just looks silly, all the harder to fall.

    Sorry, truth is, it’s: Barry of Arlington Heights, not Obama of (stinking sewer corrupt) IL.

  • Ani

    The market is certainly going to be influenced if people have no faith in the competency of the President-elect…

    Absolutely correct.

  • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

    If he “thinks” he is in the right, and a “citizen,” the he should just SHOW the document. Instead he refuses to answer 17 lawsuits against him across the country and every day more are being filed. One of these is going to stick. Also the governors of the states have to certify the votes. To do that without any affirmation whatsoever that OBozo is legit seems like it would be fraud too. I wrote a letter to Arnold. Figured he of all people knows about that pesky little thing in the Constitution about having to be a citizen to be POTUS.

  • bob

    Let’s assume Obama has no document to show. Or the one he does show is fraudulent. He cannot prove he’s a citizen one way or another other than he BELIEVED he was one. His intent was not to defraud.

    How is he removed from office?

  • karen for clinton for PRESIDENT not SOS

    Guess you didn’t see the video of the Congressional Black Caucus being called “like family and obama singled out.

    obama represented ACORN against Citibank and started the mandates rolling.

    Go google democrats and fannie freddie vids, there are a ton of them, many were in threads here as subjects.

    the financial crisis is on the shoulders of both parties, the dems are very much to blame. mccain and BUSH tried to get regulation for years. Them’s the facts.

  • Louie

    You know how people here were upset about the election, the primary election being stolen, really from Clinton?

    Same forces at work to keep Obama in the Presidency, if what you say is true — meaning it doesn’t matter…

  • cynic

    The phrase “culture of corruption” wasn’t coined as the description of a Congress dominated by democrats, as I recall.

    How many republican members of the House and Senate have been convicted of felonies during the past 8 years? I lost count long before Stevens was added to the list. I believe I lost count sometime shortly after the Jack Abramoff scandal.

    You might want to take a look at the list of Senators and members of the House who received campaign contributions from the financial industry. The democrats definitely place second.

    Of course, there was nothing actually illegal about those contributions. There was nothing anyone could be convicted of.

    Maybe far more republican elected officials get convicted of felonies than democrats because democrats make smarter criminals? I suppose that could always be argued.

    So, he’s ineligible but doesn’t step down and keeps running the country. Does the Democrat controlled Congress send the Sergeant of Arms to remove him? If so, on what basis?

    Citizen’s arrest? On what basis?

  • cynic

    My point is that we shouldn’t judge him as president until he actually becomes president.

    It would be ridiculous for Obama to begin making public policy statements before then. As he rightly said, this country has only one president at a time.

    The President of the United States is George W. Bush.

  • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

    Yes I am well aware of what happened in the primary, front and center, because I made a short documentary to try to stop it and get Hillary on the ballot and OBarnum booted back to Chi-town.

    I agree with the poster who said OBarnum could literally go on public TV and murder someone and people would just let it go. That’s why I don’t know what will come of the BC issue. If he survives it, the Constitution is dead and gone. But the best part is that it’s getting a little attention from the MSM and at least this is another thing that the very deluded OBarnum voters will have to face. That he’s yet again nothing but a fraud and a liar.

  • karen for Clinton for PRESIDENT not SoS

    There is a little document called the Constitution.

    It is what our country is founded on, it lists our freedoms and it is also the protection of liberty.

    He is a fraud. Everything he has done has been a lie, a cheat, or a steal. Everything.

  • http://www.marklevinshow.com/ Seattle Moss

    All I ever wanted in life was a president that had the experience to do the job..

    I don’t really know what will happen with this. I pray that the truth comes out and the Supreme Court Justices do their JOBS upholding the Constitution. But I have no faith anymore that this country has one ounce of decency, integrity, or honesty left. I wish I had an answer. But I do think the best thing is for the voters and the public to know that their beloved one isn’t really who we think he is and he won’t show the minimal documentation that the REST OF US have to show to get a driver’s license. Very sad for our country.

The posts are devoid of content and merely take up space. Any continuity of discussion is impossible with AnninCA. This is a community of opinion whose success depends on a loose set of unspoken rules. But as flexible as they may be AnninCA has managed to break them on a regular basis.

    Wrong cynic, Dodd, Frank, Walters and Meeks REFUSED to allow any regulations to be imposed upon Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, even after the auditors found SERIOUS problems and Johnson and Raines were ousted. It worked fine until Barney Frank, his partner and his fellow DEMS started getting their share of the pot! Those who had the power (and the Republicans were excluded after 2006) to regulate including Greenspan DID nothing. As late as this summer Barney Frank was telling everyone Fannie and Freddie were FINE.

    To extend your reference to Article I, Section 6:

    Article I Section 6:

    No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been encreased during such time;and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.

    I’m sorry but this is untrue. The real economists, the real experts said long ago that we were going down, further, critcally further down, before things got better and it didn’t matter who became president.

    Let’s be honest and fair about the facts. The experts, non politically motivated said this was going to happen long ago.

    Can we please keep illusion and bias away from the reality of this and any situation? It doesn’t help the debate, the reality, nor the fix.

  • BushCheneyTreasonTrialNow

    I assure you, that SOS is a highly important and respected position. Assuming she gets/takes the position, refer to her as SOS proudly. Even in calm times it is a highly important position. In trying times like we have now, it is such an important job that anyone considered for the position should be honored that they were considered for this all important position.

    Personally I’d like to see her get this job and Bill Clinton offered another prestigious position in this administration. That would make me laugh my ass off at the Clinton haters.

  • jimbob

    The problem with Dems, and this applies to PUMAs is this: It all started in 2000 when you people wouldn’t get over it. Then you let your disappointment turn to hate; and the hate became personal; some of you hated a whole lot; and those that did, hated so much that they were blinded by their hate, and they started hating America. So you let your party be taken over by the hate faction. The far left scum stole your nomination, and moderate Dems, or the ones that are left, are busy sucking up to the scum-buckets like Eric Holder, the terrorist pardoner, Donna Brazile, the racist, the union thugs etc. etc. Now we have a man that no one knows anything about, except for a few snippits that look realllllly scary. My advice for Hillary is this: stay away from this man. We already know you can do that job, so just stay away from Obama and this entire administration of lefties and criminals.

    Sorry, but I will never get over the GOP stealing of our democracy in 2000–and 2004, for that matter. The moderate Republicans should have resisted the neo-cons, but for whatever reasons didn’t. Once extremists are allowed to take over either Party, it’s hard to get rid of such elements. And thus we have the likes of GWB and now BO.

    I hope the moderate Repubs learn from the PUMA model so that both Parties can form a coalition to keep such extremists (from either Party) from taking the WH next time around.

  • Reality not religion

    I can’t believe this is even being asked.

    Quite simply, it is illegal to become president in this country unless you are born an American citizen. it is no more complicated than that.

    If there is valid evidence to question his birth, then it must come before the courts to deal with. If it is not, does not proceed, then we are a fraudulent country and can kiss any integrity we’ve ever had good bye and might as well burn our constitution and let all hell break loose.

    Jimbob, I’m a left-wing liberal Dem, and I voted for McCain/Palin because I saw what voting Dem this year would mean for the country and everyone living here. As far as hating what happened in 2000, yep, I still hate it. But you know a lot of folks like me worked hard for McCain/Palin to be elected. Now if more Republicans had turned out to vote we might be swearing in a war hero on Jan. 20th rather than Mr. American Idol. Still, I’m pinning a small hope on the Supreme Court and the Electoral College. I’m hoping for change in the general election results.
