		<description>Left wing POS excuse &quot;we inherited this mess&quot;. Let me see-Nasty Piglosi and Harry Greed took over Congress in 2007. Funny how before then I never heard of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac in crisis, I never heard of Indy mac, Never heard of tarp, never heard of $787 billion stimulus, never heard talk of hyper inflation, never heard of Kim Jong mentally ill launching nukes, never heard of &quot;normalizing&quot; relations with Castros Cuba, never heard of Gitmo suspects being freed IN THE US and we the taxpayer subsidizing them, never heard of a USSC appointment being racist as hell, etc etc etc. What next Obamacsum-what you going to do if RED CHINA ATTACKS TAIWAN LOSER?</description>

		<description>folks, lets not forget this-the institutions run by the democrap party are the ENEMIES of freedom. You cannot hope to impeach Obama, Nazi Bolshevik B*tch Piglosi will not lose her seat, or you cannot expect honest reporting out of the media. The academians are the useful idiots that Stalin talked about. The communist demorat party is the enemy of the common american, the average american must now be prepared to treat this as a war. The left has been at war with America ever since Cronkite sided with the commies during Vietnam, and likely all the way back to Mccarthy(who turned out to be VERY correct). The average everyday mom/pop America must now be prepared to deal with the left as our ENEMIES. No more &quot;debates&quot;, these folks are not your &quot;friends&quot;. They want to destroy the way of life all our forebearers before us started and replace it will an ideology that has a long history of MASS MURDER. Dont forget-Former FBI informant Larry Grunthwal said BILL AYERS once told him there would have to be 25-30 million MURDERED for communism to succeed in  America. So, refuse to be &quot;friends&quot; with any crowd that refuses to stand up for freedom. The american revolution was supported by about 1/3 to 1/2 of the colonists. The time is coming and likely very soon. First time OBAMASCUM sends out his BLACK PANTHER BROWNSHIRTS  we will know the time has come.</description>

		<description>RE all silly Soetorotrolls, POM, Sheesh, Jack, Vivo &amp; cie:

Wasting you time: as Jennifer says, the stimulus is a bust and the dems now must face the bill:
Even Ralph Nader, your revolutionary friend sees it like this - bellow is his communique about the gross rip-off the GM affair was/is:

WASHINGTON, June 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Consumer advocate Ralph Nader today issued the following statement on GM&#039;s bankruptcy filing: 

&quot;Today&#039;s bankruptcy declaration in federal court by General Motors is an avoidable, crude weapon of mass devastation for workers, dealers, auto suppliers, small businesses and their depleted communities. For GM&#039;s voiceless owners -- the common shareholders -- it is a wipeout. 

The proximate cause of the bankruptcy was supposed to be the inability of GM and the government&#039;s auto task force to reach an accommodation with GM&#039;s bondholders. But late last week, the bondholder problem was moving toward rapid resolution, and was clearly resolvable. Why then are GM and its multibillion government financier proceeding with bankruptcy? 

The bankruptcy and the GM restructuring plan are the product of a secretive, unaccountable, Wall Street-minded government task force that assumed power because of a Congressional abdication of historic magnitude. By all rights, the restructuring plan should have been submitted to Congress for deliberative review and decision. 

There is little doubt that GM&#039;s chronic mismanagement and the deep recession require restructuring and scaling back the auto giant. But the bankruptcy and restructuring plan appear poised to do so in ways that will needlessly harm the stakeholders meant to be helped by Washington&#039;s rescue of GM? 

Many, many jobs will be lost that could be preserved. There is reason to question whether too many plants and brands are being closed -- a matter that should have been taken up in Congress. Just the closing of hundreds of (GM and Chrysler) dealerships will cost more than 100,000 jobs. These sacrificed jobs will fray communities and impose enormous expenses on government entities that will have to provide unemployment and social relief, while suffering lost tax revenues. 

The unionized workforce will see the wage and benefit structure slashed -- even though auto manufacturer wages make up less than 10 percent of the cost of a car -- so that new jobs at GM will no longer be a ticket to the middle class. This will drag down the wage structure of the entire auto industry -- exactly the wrong direction for the country. 

America&#039;s manufacturing base will be further eroded, as GM pursues its Grand China Strategy -- increasing manufacturing outside of the United States, and increasingly from China, for import back into the United States. Unanswered questions persist about how GM&#039;s valuable operations in China, and unrepatriated profits, will be treated in bankruptcy, or excluded from bankruptcy. 

Victims of defective GM products may find themselves with no legal avenue to pursue justice. In the Chrysler bankruptcy, with complete disregard for the real human lives involved, the Obama task force and auto company have maneuvered effectively to extinguish the product liability claims of victims of defective cars. 

In a worst case scenario for the GM bankruptcy -- involving an extended court proceeding or severe impairment of consumer confidence in the GM brand -- all of these problems will be magnified. Again, given the path to resolution with the bondholders, this is an avoidable gamble. 

The GM/task force bankruptcy plans appear geared to saving the General Motors entity -- but at a harsh and often avoidable cost to workers, communities, suppliers, consumers, dealers, and the nation&#039;s manufacturing capacity. It will also prove to be a complex political nightmare for President Obama. 

With the company entering bankruptcy, the next challenge will be to ensure that the government exercises its ownership rights to undo and mitigate, to the extent possible, these damages. Among other measures, this should involve revisiting the serious drag-down, concessionary wage terms imposed on the United Auto Workers; demanding a moratorium on GM&#039;s outsourcing of production of cars for sale in the United States; and establishing successorship liability for the new GM, so that victims of dangerous and defective GM cars can have their day in court.&quot; 
-------------------------*-----------------

Understandable your panic, now when the Soeteriade is  unraveling - 
And by the way, Jack, show where I call for in violence in this post, as you keep accusing me, and many others posting on this site -

		<description>#114 WhyAmINotSurprised - Seriously, that&#039;s the equivalent of a schoolyard chant.  Not even trying to offend, but why would you even say something like that here if you had any respect for discussion?  It&#039;s like you don&#039;t even care.  Do you actually care or are you just one of those people who (no offense intended) have nothing better to do but argue?

I sincerely don&#039;t mean to be combative, but I didn&#039;t know how else to ask.  It just seems like you think the problems/issues here are just like talking in a chat room?  Maybe that&#039;s all this is, but I&#039;d like to think otherwise.

		<description>Personal attacks will get you nowhere.  It shows your lack of depth, and given your lack of response to my incriminations, it also proves your love yourself more than the country (or you just have no debate skills).  It might do you well here, but you are out of touch with the majority in this country and proves your extremist (and continually losing) point of view.

You speak your views with a bullhorn on the Mall and I&#039;ll do the same...I&#039;ll have at least 50 percent agreeing with me (that violence is the tool of the lesser mind), and you&#039;ll look like a loon.

If everyone thinks your are a sociopath, is the problem with them or with you?  If you think them, seek help as that is the sign.

		<description>114. WhyamInotsurprised? . . . That&#039;s it?  Two things - first, you were honest enough to not deny your cowardice, and second, if it didn&#039;t bother you, you wouldn&#039;t have responded. Imagine this - You&#039;re in the parking lot of the Piggly Wiggly with a sackful of Slim Jim,  Cheese Puffs and a couple of tall boys. You see an interracial couple walking down the street. You drop the sack and run up to them and yell, &quot;Oh yeah! Well who cares about you?&quot;

Something tells me you do care, knowwhatimsayin?</description>

		<description>&quot;Save or create 3-4 million jobs?&quot;

What does this statement exactly mean? Could it be verified?

Would the stimulus be a success if in the end only 3-4 million people remain employed in the United States?

The authors of the stimulus bill could then truly claim that they had saved 3-4 million jobs.</description>

		<description>#106 sheeshhhh, you are nothing but an gnat&#039;s ass!

Shoo, fly, don&#039;t bother me,
Shoo, fly, don&#039;t bother me,
Shoo, fly, don&#039;t bother me,
For I belong to somebody.
CHORUS:
I feel, I feel,
I feel like a morning star,
I feel, I feel,
I feel like a morning star.

The song remained popular over the decades, and was commonly sung by soldiers during the the Spanish-American War of 1898, when flies and the yellow fever mosquito were a serious enemy.</description>

		<description>#86 Fred,
Thanks for your insightful comments.

If there were to be a physical confrontation between you and Jack, I would bet on you to win.

I would also bet on you in the battle of wits between you and Jack.
But then, you are fighting an unarmed man.</description>
