Florida is voting McCain/Palin. Pelosi and Reid will crap their pants when they get to Washinton. Ha Ha I can't wait.

CNN, why do you not allow comments on your stories especially the Palin stories? Where is the story where people walked out of the event while McCain was still talking? This news organization does not publish much of the news, mainly when it pertains to McLiar/Palin or is it Palin/McLair campaign and their gaffees. What is going on Candy, Wolf and Campbell, is your guy screwing up — McLiar.

i don't think the middleman has anything left to get. With the latest Wall Street news, we've been cleaned out.

McCain is showing signs of Alzheimers, why is no one picking up on this! These are not gaffs the man is ill, he is not mentally fit to be President. Someone close to him has to know it. This is a cover up.

Well, the middleman takes another big hit in the 40lK department. I think Bush and the boys have about drained all they can out of us.
They're leaving, what do they care?

It's true!!! 95% of the American people are illiterate blithering idiots!!!
Did any of you attend "grammar" school?

Hey Joe Cool, by the time Democrats took over a very corrupt Republican house the damage to the economy was done. To say that the eight years that George Bush has spent in office is irrelavant to the economic crises ridiculous! This is his fault because for eight years he has been a president who has engaged in extreme fiscal irresponsibility and he allowed this to happen.

if McCain is elected, I think Ill stuff my money in an old sock and bury it in the backyard.

VOTE OBAMA!

civics 101…..minority dem congress wih a Rep Pres (with power to Veto) dah…what is so hard to understand?Don't blame Pelosi. Blame Bush and his veto and the Reps who continue to vote along party lines to keep their jobs. It's a power struggle..pure and simple.

If I can see this, why can't some Americans see it?
canada

I find it be be just absolutely disgraceful and unbelievable that Sarah Palin and her husband will refuse to comply with a subpoena and that John McCain would endorse this behavior. Already, before they are even elected McCain and the Palins are engaging in illegal, unethical, sneaky behavior. For this VP candidate to hide behind the shirt tales of John McCain and to use this candidacy as a reason to engage in unethical and illegal behavior is outrageous. Since when is a political candidate above the law, much less the spouse of such? If this is how they behave now, imagine the shenanigans and illegal political maneuvering which would go on if they were elected. Disgraceful! And then there is the issue of unethical behavior in regards to her usage of email. Unbelievable!!

Pelosi wants action??? How many years has she been majority leader of a do-nothing Congress??? Now that it's an election year, she wants action. Figures. She talks out of both sides of her mouth, just like all politicians.

I CANT BELIEVE THAT A WOMEN IN OUR COUNTRY HAS HAD THE THINGS SAID ABOUT HER THAT PALIN HAS INDURED…………WE WOMEN VOTE ……AND MALLICK FROM CANADA AND ALL CANADIANS SHOULD SHUT UP AND GO BACK TO CANADA…………..SHE IS OF THE LOWEST LOW TO SAY SUCH THINGS ABOUT A WOMEN OF PALINS CHARACTER………I DONT KNOW HOW PALIN ENDURES WHAT SHE DOES……….WOW AND JUST HAD A NEW BABY TOO …………AND CAMPAINGING………WOW NOW IRANIANS DONT WANT HER TO COME BECAUSE HILLARY THREW A FIT AND WANT COME………..JEWS ONLY WANT DEMS THERE…………WATCH HILLARY WILL SNEAK UP THERE …………HILLARY WILL STILL DO ALL SHE CAN FOR THE DEM PARTY EVEN THOUGH THEY SCREWED HER……AGAIN …AGAIN ….AGAIN…….AGAIN…….REMEMBER JARRETT IRANIAN BORN ………..OBAMA IRANIAN TALKER …………….THESE IRANIANS ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS …..I WOULDNT INVITE THEM TO DINNER ………..

the only thing circling is obama on larry sinclair!

Pelosi has not done much to impress me but when Bush is vetoing everything sent by the Democrats and the Senate at 49 Democrats and 49 Republicans, there was not a whole lot Congress could do. The Republicans have not been interested in change….well, until they saw how popular that word became with Obama.

PELOSI GO RATTLE SOME CAGES ON YOUR SIDE AND GET THEM DEAD BEATS UP AND RUNNING AGAIN….

THIS IS WHY THERE SHOULD BE TERM LIMITS FOR THE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE… IT SURE WOULD HELP IF TERM LIMITS WERE IMPOSED MAYBE THEN THIS PROBLEM WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.

FIRE THEM GOOD OLD BOYS AND START OUT NEW

drill here drill now and quit worrying about gays getting married in your district!

Everybody sing~~~~~~~~~the party's over~~~~~~~~literally!

Sarah Palin needs to use extreme caution when she uses the phrase "Just Plain Dumb".

The ball is in your court Bush.

I smell another "Katrina"!

PELOSI IS JUST POSTERING ……….LIKE WASTING OUR TIME AND MONEY ON THE SENATE FLOOR AFTER YOU AND I JUST PAID HER FOR 5 WEEKS VAC …………DID YOU GET 5 WEEKS PAID VAC THIS YEAR …LAST YEAR ….????????……TGHEN SHE WANTS TO START THIS IMPEACH BUSH CRAP………..PLEASE ….DONT WASTE MY TIME AND MONEY……..THIS MAN IS OUT OF OFFICE ………..YEAH ……….I AM A REPUBLICAN BUT HEY I DIDNT PUT HIM IN OFFICE …….NOR DO I LIKE BEING COMPARED TO OTHER REPUBLICANS……..THATS LIKE LUMPING ALL BLACKS OR ALL WHITES OR ALL MEN ARE DAWGS [GRIN]…..IN ONE GROUP…………..DEMS BEHAVIOR IN LUMPING US ALL THE SAME IS TRULY A BIG INJUSTICE…………THIS IS STILL AMERICA AND WE CAN VOTE FOR DEMS EVEN IF WE ARE REGISTERD AS REPUBLICAN……THATS FREEDOM…………..WE CAN CHANGE OUR MINDS ………..THATS AMERICA…………YEAH……….WE CAN VOTE INDEPENDENT ALSO………GET MY DRIFT……….SO STOP PUTTING US ALL IN ONE BOX………………..

The Geezer and Gidget are circling the drain.

Hey McCain - I can see a Taco Bell from my kitchen window, can I be your Foreign Policy Advisor?

Look - George is a lier, he is from the same evolutionary family as Silly Sarah and John Mcgeezer.

pa for mccain/palin,

you need to fact check mccain took more
money than obama.

If the American people were like Oklahomans, you wouldn't be complaining. We save our money for hard times, we live below our means, we have a six month emergency fund, we buy a house with less than 25% of our income (instead of 40-45%), our housing market will always be strong, we have abundant natural gas and oil, we have strong christian values, we volunteer and tithe, a part of our health care is paid by tobacco and oil taxes, and we love our country. No excusses, just winners. Happy elections, we don't need the government to bail us out. Some people have to grow up and take the dipers off. That's why you have to perfectly good hands, that's why America gave you freedom, make it happen. Thanks.

If you want to fix government;
-tax life insurance with savings in it, loophole #1
-tax alcohol and cigarettes out the ying yang, kill an addiction
-eliminate retirement for congress paid by our Social Security budget
-invest in natural gas, wind and solar power
-don't bail any company out, american competition will take the business, "if your business sucks, it shouldn't be in business"

Do you think he is giving the American people "a one finger salute" as a goodbye?

WASP!!! WomenAgainstSarahPalin

More government control of the market and buyouts of large companies is a VERY slippery slope. If you think times are hard now, imagine a United States with State Monopoly on goods, banks, firms, etc. In case you have a hard time imagining such a thing, check out China. We need to solve this problem, but we can not slip on the slope.

The complete takeover is almost complete,now get ready for the real surprise and that is"I will still be your President for Life",even after an election.

So she has nothing better to do than send a ridiculous letter blaming one man for the entire economic woes of the country?

Typical from a woman who's platform for getting Speaker of the House was "I'll lame duck the president". Not what she will do, how she will stop a whole branch of government from working.

Useless pandering and blaming from a woman who leads the Do Nothing Congress with the lowest approval rating…EVER.

Good job Nancy, keep strengthening Republican resolve.

An economy without manufacturing will be a dead economy with time.
We didn't call manufacturing the engine of any economy for nothing.
No matter how politicians spin this. Any resuscitation plan without reviving manufacturing won't last. Throwing another stimulus check at us is proven useless in reviving our economy.

This is simply political posturing by Nancy Pelosi. She knows the White House will respond to this and she is setting herself up to take credit for the response. She should instead investigate the Democrats who have driven Fannie and Freddie into the ground!

Either CNN allows mostly democratic comments to come thru OR the Obama campaign pays people to post.
There is NO way a few republicans post.

How are the Republicans going to reform one another and get change. They need to go into their stash of cash or talk to their trillionaire oil friends to bail the economy out. They definitely are not hurting, they are too busy making the poor poorer. Palin, Bush and McCain all are benefiting from the raising price of gas. We are helping them everytime we go to the gas pump. They are playing the game well. It was time for change 8 years ago.

Dont waste your breath or energy he is not coming out. He is in the
White House hiding.

WHATEVER PELOSI NEEDS TO SIT DOWN ITS NOT LIKE SHE HAS DONE ANYTHING

Specifically, what is Obama going to do to fix the economy?…

Bueller… Bueller?…

some ask obama why he took 126000 dollars from wall street to deregulate wall street and sell out the u-s-a ?

Problem is, will he know what all those long words mean?

John (Retired Navy Chief)………no wonder your supporting Mclame you are "retired", hypocrite.

September, 18, 2008.
From: President Bush
To : Mrs. Pelosi.

Dear Mrs, Pelosi.
I have received your letter requesting my decision about the crashed economy. As much as I would love to reply to you, but, you see, right now I am so busy packing up my things. But, don't worry, you shall hear from me hopefully by the end of February 2009. Any way, how do you expect me to repair in 3 months time something that took me 8 years to demolish? I'm no magician.

Respectfully
Your president.

SIT DOWN SHUT UP , DO NOTHING HOLLYWOOD GROUPE.

WHEN ASKED A SIMPLE QUESTION AT HER VP . ABOUT IKE , HE REPLIED , THE HELL WITH THEM TEXANS .

WELL WHAT A VP . MAYBE SOME ONE SHOULD SAY THE HELLL WITH HIM AND HIS PRO-IRAN DONORS AN HIS FLIP FLOPPER , TO HELL WITH THE SAUDIE PRINCE THAT PAID FOR HIS SCHOOLING.

NO POLISI , ENEOUGH HOLLYWOOD . TAKE ANOTHER TIME OFF. DON;T DO ANYTHING WHILE YOU ARE THERE BUT DRUM UP MORE LIES TO SWALLOW ANOTHER FLOOD.

So Bush should propose a solution to the problem that the Democratic Congress has failed to address in the last two years. He did propose one years ago but the Democrats wouldn't hear of it. Maybe Nancy should talk to her fellow Democrat Barney Frank who as the House Financial Services Chairman has fought against reform of Fannie MAE and Freddie MAC for years

What kind of letter is that?
How can anyone think that Bush and the Republicans can do anything positive about the economy? The economy wouldn't be where it is right now if the Republicans can do anything positive. Pelosi, do you want Bush to mess it more than he already did? Please withdraw your letter with all due respect.

McCain is even worse about the economy.

Signed,

FOCUS ON THE ECONOMY.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT HAPPEN TO MCCAIN'S FRIEND CARLY FIORINA AFTER SHE WENT ON NATIONAL TV AND SAID MCCAIN OR PALIN WERE QUALIFIED TO BE CEOs OF A COMPANY? MCCAIN PROBABLY GOT RID OF HER BECAUSE SHE WAS SO RIGHT.

Pelosi had her chance to get rid of Bush through impeachment proceedings and she "took it off the table". Instead she writes him letters, demanding something he doesn't have - competence. Then she turns her back on Hillary Clinton and promotes somebody who needs a teleprompter to sound competent. What a joke.

it was Mccain who suggested a commission to study the economic
mess that our country is facing and which Obama criticized in front
of a rally crowd .. Well , now we are know John Mccain was right after all. IT NOW HAS HAPPENNED THAT NOT ONLY WAS "COMMISSION" FORMED ,BUT A LARGER GROUP OF FINANCIAL AND CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS GOT TOGETHER TO DISCUSS THE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS AND THEY ARE COMING UP WITH A PROPOSAL TO FIX THE ECONOMY.. MCCAIN GOT IT RIGHT ON THE BUTTON. OBAMA WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT HE AND HIS AIDES COULD COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO OUR ECONOMY PROBLEMS

If I could ask Nancy Pelosi just one question it would be what were you thinking when you took impeachment off the table?

BREAKING NEWS:

McCain is appointing George "Macaca" Allen to head up his Minority Outreach Program…!!!

I love it when fools like "PALIN POWER" run across an actual woman who knows what they are doing. The best joke, though, is that Sarah Palin is a small time crook who reminds me so much of Spiro Agnew it's almost frightening. If even half of the case allegations against her are proven, she will go he way of Mr. Agnew. In addition to serial adultery, we have obstruction of justice, bribery, abuse of power, illegal wiretapping, and on and on and on. I am quite certain that, if the voters are so dumb as to elect McCain, that she will be forced to resign or will be impeached. Then, "Palin Power", then we get PRESIDENT PELOSI!!! Thank you, thank, thank you for that vote of confidence in her leadership ability!

Nancy, say it ain't so!!! You are willing to sacrifice your vacation for our nation??? How George Bush can you guys get??? How about using just a fraction of the money you're wasting daily to build some hydrogen fueling stations across the nation to build our economy instead of destroy??? This is what is needed to jump start our economy, real actions!!!

obama 08

why dont the us house of representitive decide the next president of the united state nither of these candidate are going to have 270 electoral votes by november

Pelosi, you take action! You are he speaker of the house. You all thoes people below you. Close your mouth and do something.

interesting suggestion from a woman, the third most powerful woman in american politics today, who has not done much of anything at all. sure let's get bush out of the white house, but we should make sure that pelosi is on that same bus.

Now you want to work………………..You walked on of Congress for recess and refused to allow the vote to go thru on drilling while the American people struggled.

Your people changed the banking laws please don't blame President Bush……………………..and the American people want answers not finger pointing. We all know what had been done.. Nothing.

The last time I looked my car took gas not hot air and sunshine. 70% of the american people want drilling. Not a half baked drilling bill.

McCain/Palin 08

Pelosi, Obama, Reid… only a country as great as America could survive this threesome. Let's hope our nation's resiliency is not put that test.

doesn't that woman ever get tired of listening to herself talk. she is just like Obama, calling for others to do things when they control the senate and congress and do nothing. Obama as been bought and paid for by wall street and all his posturing is the same as the free trade talk, just talk. do you think these people would give him all that money, if they thought he was serious about taxing the hell out of them. if he is elected you can be sure that any legislation regarding corporate tax will have loop holes in it to benefit his friends.

McCain/Palin

Would have been more fruitful to send the letter to Santa Claus.

""JoeCool September 18th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

Hey Nancy,
The Democrat-led Congress failed to prevent this crisis, not the president. Typical liberal screws things up and then blames someone else.""

Republicans were in charge…and had the veto power even if the Congres was Democrat, they did not have enough votes to override the votes, did not get to the 60 votes needed, so, it is the Republicans who are at fault and who are against regulations and oversight. The American people are not stupid like Republicans like to think…although with this Paling thing, I think the american women are stupid though…they are not thinking with their brains what is at stake for them…until they find out what they have lost what the womens' movement have accomplished so for women…

Ahhh leave the poor guy alone hes got lent to pick out of his bellybutton
and some PACKING TO DO Yahoooooooo !!!!!!!!!

Pelosi is downright SCARY: could you imagine if the Democrats got into office - she would be two heartbeats away from the presidency! FRIGHTENING - that would be like a Disney Porn. Well come to think about it…if the CORRUPT SLEAZE LAWYER BO got in…he would be the heartbeat. Sensible America will do whats right and BO and Joey B are going down.

I'm actually seeing people that are saying Pelosi is showing leadership? are you kidding? do you libs really believe yourselves when you talk ? Nancy Pelosi is a complete joke of a person much less a political leader?? lol

Oh they are all out in force now.

The Republicans have been deregulating their friends for years, and removing bankruptcy protections for the man on the street.

Yet you want to lay this at the feet of the Democrats who have been stymied and vetoed every step of the way for the less than 2 years they have held tenuous control of Congress.

The Democrats are offering to find solutions for the mess on Wall Street and the people on Main Street.

You have a problem with that, why exactly?

The Geezer and Gidget are circling the drain….Flush!

Just noticed that Donald Trump is endorsing McCain. If Obama gets elected Donald will have to pay taxes for the first time in 8 years…and he's got a lot to loose!
GO OBAMA!

Don't hold your breath Nancy or maybe you should after the way you treated Hillary. A great woman in your position should have backed her, but as usual jealousy reared it's ugly head and you became just any other woman. such a credit to your gender.

I spoke to President Bush Mrs, Pelosi. He told me to inform you that he has received your letter and he's working on it. Your shall hear from him hopefully by the enfd of February 2009.
Respectfully
The white House.

It looks as if Ohio, Florida, Virginia and probably Missouri will be deciding this election. It will be interesting to see if the people suffering in those states stick with what got them there or will they step out in a new direction.

OBAMA/BIDEN

Nothing except Howard Dean can compare to Nancy Pelosi, go back to sleep. Congress has lower approvals than the current admin they criticize. wonder why? Because they do nothing period……

Pelosi is suppose to be the great leader of the house and the guru of our country according to her. I would also like to know why she does not just ask Obama the Black Messiah to submit his plan of action. I remmeber Nancy Pelosi saying that Obama was sent to us By GOD himself and the deomcrat from Tenn. saying he was liken to Jesus Christ. What is your problem Nancy. According to you democrats you know everything. Oh wait I forgot you democrats only bit@h about problems but have no solutions.

Hasn't he done enough already?

Pelosi, Reid, and the DNC need to go. Take Obama with you.

why dont you take someone else idea instead of taking from obama

Thank you Nancy! Keep the pressure on - don't give an inch!
This is the kind of action that I expect to see from the Democrats. You better believe that if the Republicans win, there will be pit bulls all over the place.

Great Job!!

Bush's response:
"Aww, how come there's no pictures?"

Americans, do you really want 4 more years of these rich oil-and-war mongers screwing you over? You know what to do then….

Obama '08

Bah!, I don't thing you'll get a reply to your letter. Do you know what it's like to be president and have your term coming to end without accomplishing anything? Critics here, critics there, crisis here, crisis there, compaints here, complaints there, he 's going crazy. The last thing he needs to be pestered about is a crashing economy.Let his term end in peace. Leave him be!

???

The Democrats are in charge of the financial commitees.

5 years ago, Bush tried to do something about Fannie/Freddie, which would've stabilized the mortgage industry, which would've lessened/prevented the pain from the financial storm we're in now.
Barney Frank and Chris Dodd were complacent and prevented action.

In 2006, McCain also called for reform, to a complacent do nothing congress.

Pelosi keeps dragging herself further down.

I believe she's the speaker of the house so why doesn't she take action like they did on the oil crisis??? Oh yeah! they went on vacation during that crisis.

So do we really want democrats running the House, Senate and one in the White House to boot? They can't run a city or State without driving it into the ground.

For a CHANGE, I like to see more of my money staying in my wallet than having the likes of Obama and the democrats taxing the hell out of us and giving it to some welfare mother whose too lazy to work but can pump out a baby every year. Change…thanks but we can't afford more socialism in this country.

NO! Don't let that man near our finances. The government needs to STAY OUT! Let the chips fall. We are in this mess BECAUSE of government.

I guarantee you that there has been a plan for a long time. This waiting for it is a dog and pony show. They know what the want to do because they caused this to "come up" with a way to help.

This should be simple. Even for McBush. The Republicans ran us Trillions of Dollars in debt. For America to have any chance to survive. The very wealthy must in fact be patriotic and pay the reasonable tax that they paid before Bush cut their taxes to nothing. But McBush and Palin just do not care. They are so in the pockets of the Corporate Super rich that they are willing to see America go under just to stay in power. There is no word bad

Sounds like begging without proposing a solution?

Pelosi should do something with her do nothing Congress, instead of going after Bush. She is a disgrace and should be removed!

Pelosi is the stain in D.C. that needs to just disappear. Pelosi protects crooked Democrats.

We need REAL people, REAL Americans in D.C.

Palin 2012

I guess if you are a do nothing loser (Pelosi) you can always ask a do something person to think of a plan for you.

Those idiots ranting about Congress doing nothing the past 2 years are a JOKE! Between the obstructionists on the other side of the aisle and that dummy President with his veto pen..there wasn't much they could do. So much for that bipartisan crap from that side.

Hello,

I am curious to know why the Ticker story;

Palin nixed from Iran rally

which appeared approximately 30 minutes AFTER this story is now closed for comments. It couldn't be message volume, as both of these stories have a similar number of messages.

Had I had the opportunity to post a message on that story I would have made the following comment;

I am no longer astounded by the moronic comments being posted by presumably intelligent people, and most particularly when it comes to make cruel fun of anyone who isn't Barak Obama. If it were not so pitiful it would be funny. But it's not funny.

I think you really have to take a long and reflective look at your candidate. It seems he wishes to inflict European Socialism on us, and you are buying into it.

So little tolerance. So much ignorance.

LIFE BEFORE THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER IN CONGRESS:

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 yr. high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%;
4) the DOW JONES hit a record high–14,000 +
5) Americans were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacationing overseas, living large!…

LIFE AFTER THE DEMS TOOK OVER IN 2006:

1) Consumer confidence has plummeted;
2) Gasoline is now nearly $4 gallon and climbing;
3) Unemployment is up over 5%.
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION & prices are still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure;
and
6) THE DOW is probing another low~~11,300–$2.5 TRILLION HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!

OBAMA/BIDEN = Please no more change, we can't afford it!

Nancy, why have you not taken any action? You have a lot in common with Obama, you both wrote books. Neither of you have done anything productive as represenatives. I hope every incumbent running, loses.

Pelosi and the entire do-nothing Democratic Congress can go pack sand where the sun doesn't shine.

You're like the female version of Obama…or more like he's the male version of you.

All talk and hot air and no action…won't don't both of you vote 'present' in harmony.

Nothing but finger pointers and blamers.

You're both worthless self-serving excuses for actual poeple.

You and the rest of the 'Bots are going to be in for a November Surprise.

McCain/Palin '08

What good is Congress anymore when a President vetoes everything, or blatantly disregards everything Congress says? Talk about a non-functioning machine… we need Obama in there to restore sensibility in leadership.

I have a clarification to make about a previous comment I made.

The top 10% of higest earning Americans pay 70% of our taxes.

I am not one of them and can still accept that.

Maybe she should send a letter to Congress and demand action from them?

Yeah, right!

About time both the democrats and republicans actually did something after the Enron debacle, the dot.com bust, the housing/mortgage mess, and the speculators in the oil markets. Washington needs some reforms and it wouldn't hurt to have some regulations which set boundaries and limits to the greedy children in those areas!

McCain will lie to mother if it will get him in the White House. I don't trust him or his sidekick. They will never step one lying foot in my White House.

Throw the bums out, and don't let any more bums in–I'm done.

Obama/Biden 08, 12

Wow what a great, sincere thoughtful letter! I would hope that the speaker of the house could do better than write a letter that is obviously intended to be a press release masquerading as a letter to George Bush. Maybe she could involve herself in efforts to address the problems at hand instead of engaging in politics as usual. Of course that type of action would require real thought instead of blame George Bush sound bites. I can't believe CNN would post this as a news article.

Bush is waiting for OBAMA administration to clean up his mess and fix everything. Yes we can!

The only reason CNN has introduced the "Fact Check" is because we are dealing with a pathological liar, McCain. This election is re-introducing McCain and he is a bold faced liar.

No liars in the White House, we've had one for 8 years and we don't need any more.

Obama/Biden 08

If anyone I know loses their job during an Obama administration if he gets in, I will explore options towards getting him impeached and sued for fraud and misleading the public. How about that Obamabots? It's been proven over and over again that higher expenses and taxes results in downsizing. God help this country as we're more stupid than I know we are for putting him in office. I lost a few jobs when Clinton was in office, but not one during a Republican administration. Too late Nancy, I couldn't stand you when I lived in CA, and cannot stand you even more as you stand for everything that is wrong in this country.

Did you know that 10% of the population pays 70% of the taxes? All of the socialist style campaign promises will be paid with federal tax money. I'm not for lowering taxes on the wealthier Americans, but as we are seeing now, the kitty can run dry. P.S. I'm a Dem, for now-Independent next time.

OMG, that woman is so lame. She's likes the power, but the responsibility? Not so much.

What's the point!
Bush would just smile , grin and say WALL STREET GOT DRUNK !

Good bye Hoover, hello Roosevelt !

How many years of Newt Gingrick / Tom DeLay ?
8 years of Gorge Bush !
2 years of Pelosi !

do the math ?

I really don't have a clue what Nancy has been doing because I've been so focussed on the general election. But I'll tell you one thing, Congress needs to get their act together before Barack gets there or the people will revolt with their votes.

We're not going through this long drawn out process so our hopes and aspirations can be stopped by a do nothing Congress. We're just not. So take this time to get it together Congress because the revolution will start on January 21st. We're taking our country back and we want some answers and some real solutions.

America 08

Nancy,
Get Hank Paulson to do it…he's is used to cleaning up Bush's mess.
Besides, he's the only one with any brains in the Administration

O heck no !!!!!!!!!!!!

She's asking Bush for guidance after she has forsaken all responsibility for all democrats, past and present, for this financial meltdown..

This is the democratic leadership we have been subjected to and will long suffer under with Obama.

Sounds like a typical democrat demanding Bush do something to clean up the mess congress made!

I live in Nancy Pelosi's district and have voted for her for years. I admit that in the past two years I have fired off several angry letters over the impeachment issue, and continued war funding. Recently I got a chance to hear her speak and I now understand her better. If the democrats had used their shaky one vote majority to try to impeach Bush, that's all this election would have been about. I can now appreciate the circumspection of her position given that we have a real chance to take our country back from the criminal mismanagement of the conservative right, but we could have lost that chance by giving them a reason to rally around George Bush in a time of war. Just look at what happened when McCain claimed sexism over the lipstick remark. We can no longer underestimate the power of the right wing to use any excuse to distract us from the truth. I think we all owe Nancy Pelosi an apology — she managed to keep her cool while we were losing ours. And trust me, she'd like nothing better than to see George Bush and his administration in jail where they belong.

In a Palin / McCain administration, we would be really be in good shape and work in the private sector and remedy any problems that may cause additional inconvenience.

Hopefully, McCain,72, will retire now.

Bush said he feels our pain. He also said he felt our pain in '04 when he supported US job loss due to free trade. He said that he would create programs to help folks who lost jobs over seas retool to new skills. IT NEVER HAPPENED!! Feel our pain - yeah right!

3 million+ jobs lost due to free trade so the rich can get richer, and the rest of us are stuck with tainted products from overseas, with no money to buy any of it. This helps America?? Look at us now.

There was no help from Bush, I know. Now he feels our pain again. Funny, McCain also feels our pain.

I'm sick of the pain these people have inflicted on the USA.

Obama. What do we have to lose?? We're already losing.

Oscar, she may be hiding for the same reason Obama is hiding the facts about his accepting so much from Fannie and Freddie. That the former head of one is on his Economic committee. Obama is a thug from Chicago who learned from Mayor. He is a socialist that middle America will not vote for. I know two individuals that have been called and polled by the various groups. Each said, and they were Democrats that they told them one thing but had no intention of walking into that voting booth and vote for a junior senator with no experience, a background that is scary….( just look at his former pastor ) his wife is not proud of American. Please. 48% of American now pay no taxes….under Obama 54% will not pay. You do the math. Americans are not stupid…..he has not chance in Hell. McCain will win by at least 6%. Bank on it….or do you not pay taxes also?

this is exactly why I am a Democrat voting Republican this election–I am tired of democrats like her doing nothing except pointing the finger when things are bad and taking credit when they are good. This letter is an insult to the american people. Its sole purpose is to fool americans into thinking she's doing something. Where has she and her do nothing congress been the last 2 years????? fellow democrats join me this election in showing you've had enough…..
vote for McCain/Palin

I can't believe this utter failure as Speaker has the nerve to
demand anything.

Pelosi is costing the dems this election
She pushed Obama on everybody and now we might lose what should have been a slam dunk with Clinton
–Paul Lennon
——————————————————————————————–
Pelosi did not "push Obama" on anybody. We voted for Obama because we wanted to vote for him. Get your head out of the sand and do some research. Hillary wanted to be president for all the wrong reasons as shown by her "holiday tax" stunt. Americans saw through her and that's why she'd not on the ticket. I refuse to fight this battle again because it's the shiny metal object the GOP wants us to focus on, instead of the Bush economic failure.

Palin will be a great VP

What a Shame Folks that Pelosi did not ask Bush to wake-up the two years the democrats have the power in congress!! The turth is that Pelosi and the dem. did nothing in the two years but sit on thier (.)!! Obama did not even come to work 90% of the time, Obama voted no contest!!! Hillary voted for the War! What in the World our you people talking about ??? Obama ?? What a Joke!!! Were Democrats and were voting for McCain and Palin!! We need McCain bad!

come on bush do something

bush will do the same thing he has done in the last 8 years, ABSOLUTLY NOTHING!!!!!!! every time he gets near the microphone he tells us WERE MAKING PROGRESS !!! i would like to know where were are making that progress!!!!!! pretty soon we will be the united states of china…. IDIOT!!!!!! and mcsame will do the same…

Congress mande all this happen, how are they going to fix it? blind leading the blind

People please - google 'GSE 1461′ and follow the entire story - read the Bush Administrations responses, concerns…etc.

Pelosi's a walking punchline, and Reid's no better.
This is supposed to be leadership?
Pffftttt……she's pressuring Bush to put a legislative package out there
so she, Reid, and their chosen one, Obama, can say it's McCain's
position.

Hillary 2012

Time to get things straight.

The democratic lead in Congress (58%) is not high enough to override a veto unless there is bi-partition cooperation.

The financial mess we're in belongs to both parties, but inaction is highly due to vetoes (9) or the threat of vetoes (>100) by the president.

Reaching out to find out what policies the president would not veto (or threaten to) is actually a smart move to get some action items through Congress. And here this is what I thought people wanted all along, but now you complain.

Oh, and let us not forget the 6 years that Republicans had majority in the House and Senate with a Republican president. It takes more then 2 years to fix every problem, especially with threats around every corner.

Somebody needs to come up with some ideas because it is obvious that Congress, which allowed all of this to happen, can't come up with one good measure.

what is palin hiding? why won't she co-operate in the investigations in her state. why is it being said that the investigation is politically motivated when the case has been on before mccain shamelessly appointed her, and she has prior to that agreed to cooperate. I'm pleading to the Americans to quickly investigate her ALL ROUND before November 4. The credibilty of this country will be at stake if she continues to parade herself with skeletonS in her cupboard.

Pelosi has been an utter failure as Speaker.
She should be removed for the next term.
FACT.

pukelosi wanting to do business other than trying to get her new jet to fly her non-stop from DC to CA? Where has she been the last 2 yrs., designing her new jet?

Little late Pelosi, where were you for two years?
Wow the Democrats will actually stay to solve the problem instead of going on vacation?
Thanks but no thanks Nancy!

Who's going to read it to him?

Since Nancy Pelosi took in charge the house, everything from bed became worse. She is a joke

This is not as off subject as it seems. I'm a Dem voting McCain. I see what a mess our nation is in and the Bush and the Congress are to both to blame. All the hype for Obama and media prejudice of McCain sickens me, but it may not matter. Has anyone out there considered that Bush may try to stay in office past his term because we are at war? There is a presidential clause for that. People were worried Harry Truman might do that if WW 2 had not ended. GOD HELP US! I agree with impeaching Bush. Just to make sure he's gone!!!!

The Republicans posting here that the Democratic Congress is at fault are proof that our education system is failing to each people how our government works, which allows partisan rhetoric to manipulate and confuse the people and threatens the very foundation of our democracy: an educated and informed populace exercising the right to vote in an intelligent and practical manner.

The Republican ticket is finished….they're circling the drain.

Pelosi has no right to be urging anyone to do anything - she and her cronies have a lower approval rating than Bush for a reason. They've voted "present" so much that they forgot any other way. To hell with her and the DNC.
McCain 08/Hillary 2012

Dan, do you honestly want to know why? McCain practically feeds the media by putting his foot in his mouth and spewing lies each and every day. That's why!

We have a problem here. President George W. Bush and Senator John McCain and their adviser's know nothing about the 'economy'. How can someone fix a problem if they don't understand the problem ? Talk about.., "not" in touch with America. Remember when Senator John McCain said.., ("I don't understand "economics") ? That's probably why he and his wife Cindy can't remember how many homes they have. Folks.., it's 'pure greed' and we the american public are going to pay for it. The CEO's, President's, Senior Vice President's, CFO's, Top Management and Board of Directors are making all this 'money' and we are losing our shirt's. I belive that is called 'greed' and "down-right-fraud". There are many factors in the collapse of Wall Street and major companies. But, someone should be going to prison for this mess. Nancy and the Senate.., do something about this national and global mess. President Bush isn't going to do something about it.., he's to busy packing with Laura for their moving trip to Crawford, Texas. Mike in Montana

HEY the REpublicans better get ready for a rumble this is my worry. Did you hear palin calling it the Palin Mccain Administration I believe Mccain relly bit off more than he can afford with this women do you see how her todd is always there with here liste up folks you know they wanted to make alaska their own state remove it from the united states todd is running her show if that why all the secret emails they aree not dumb by a long shot and they have a plan for mccain. If they get in office she is gonning to have him declared incompentent she does not have his back you guys have given her the royal treatment covered for her and she is gonna take this country for a ride we all know mccain picked her for the wrong reason and you can bett she has plans for this man and this country so we all better watch out becuse she is not for america she is for the state of todd and sarah palin

Dan I agree with you. I am a lifelong Democrat but will not vote for Obama. The media made my decision for me. They are completely biased for Obama and make no bones about it. I guess that is why FOX NEWS wins the rating each and every night. Fair and Balanced. Obama stands no real chance of winning. I know Hard core Dems that have actually been polled…..they gave the answer the party wanted…..but when they go into the polls they will not vote for an untested junior senator….we saw that yesterday when he had no opinion of AIG…….Read the Obama Nation…..it will wake you up. Middle America will not vote for him and McCain is within 5 points in New York……..That says it all. McCain-Palin….get use to it.

Who cares, all this is nonsense!

Obama not ready to lead, is the major issue!!!

Unless that letter contained step by step instructions nothing will be done until he turns over the mess in January. Too bad his presidential stipen can't be tied to job performance. Can't wait to send Crawford their idiot back. Thanks for the nightmare of the last 8 years Georgie.

Pelosi is the worst speaker we have in generations. She knows nothing and wants to blame Bush for everything. Just go away.

Nancy Pelosi is another one of the Democratic Party members who never does anything positively, but waits to show a negative reaction to something President Bush doesn't do. As a life-time Democrat, I am becoming an Independent simply because of the Democratic Party dirty tricks, led now by Barack Obama. The push by his campaign to disinvite Sarah Palin is just an example of this, and I hope people listen up and understand what a vote for him will get them nothing new. The way they treated Hillary and now Sarah is indicative of what they will do to destroy the women programs in this country.

Congratulations to the Democratic controled Congress. Your ONE accomplishment since taking control — raising minimum wage, has been a huge success. I just don't understand how all of this financial problem could have happened after that ground breaking accomplishment. You Nancy and your majority control the laws / oversights , etc… Why should we give you another term. Look at what you HAVEN'T DONE>

McCain / Palin

Dont worry Bush got those letters million times he doeanst get it like Mccain.

Bush impeachment that's is a must

It is not the president;'s role to legislate. It is the duty and responsibility of Congress. And this congress chose to sit on their derrier instead of doing their job. 2 years of Democrats and the economy goes in the tank.

This is to all the people involved in political reporting on CNN news including the scriptors, reporters and executives. Why do you tell just the negative information about McCain and nothing negative about O bama? You report and side/comment against what McCain says but what Obama says you dont reply or have no negative things to say( rarely if you do), or broadcast about Obama. You should be fair in your broadcast. You make me not want to watch what your show just because your bias. Unbias news gets thee most coverage and most respected coverage. I myself am undecided in vote and from michigan ( the state w/ the highest unemployment rate).

- Very angered american once viewer

Bush, You big dummy! This is all your fault!

Eat your heart out Pelosi,, You will never be more than a do nothing Congressman. Sarah Palin will be our next president. Semper Fi,

God Bless Sarah and John, True American Heroes.

Take action? Take action? Are you kidding, we're talking George Bush………get real!
Vote OBAMA for change!

First Bush has to crawl out from underneath his desk…the man cannot say anything that will undo all his failures during his administration.

Why do Pelosi think we're all fools out here? I'm not a Bush supporter, but i don't think he's the only one to blame. She and some dems are right in there too.

Thanks Democrats for killing the American Dream.

It once was said "You can have anything if you work hard."

Now it's said "You can have anything if you hold out your hand."

Why work hard to get ahead if, when you finally become a success, the Democrats are going to tax you to death?

Oh my God…anything but this woman called Nancy Leprosi!

She is a loser. He jealosy towards Hillary Clinton may cost us the 2008 presidency. Please, please, CNN, DO NOT RUN NANCY PELOSI INFO OR WE BYCOTT your website.

I think its hilarious that Republicans have been in control of the congress for 10 of the last 13 years and yet they and their blind sheep followers blame the LESS THAN TWO YEARS that the democrats have had a 51-49 majority in the Senate on all of the problems that have been mounting up for almost 10 years.

but that makes perfect sense to a party that made up a war in Iraq and that calls for tax cuts for the people and corporations that caused this mess:

"They're angry when they see that the CEO of Bear Sterns decides to jump in the market and make a little extra money off the shares that he has accumulated over the years, instead of just taking the how-many-millions that he was going to get anyway," - McCain

LETS GIVE HIM A TAX BREAK!

I can just picture Bush sitting back twiddling his thumbs. Ugh. He makes me sick. He seems to have faded into the background while the country is in turmoil.

Hey pelose, why don't you ask reid and your do nothing democrat congress. IT'S YOUR FAULT !!

Yes Kristen and it was McCain's top economic advisor that labeled Americans as whiners….and resigned head between tail…that personally authored the 1999 Gramm-Leach bill with repealed regulations on the banking industry.

The Neo-Cons want to ignore the fact they are the ones who always complain about regulations. Then when banks fail due to de-regulation they blame the Democrats.

Peloski why don't you just resign? Really think about it.

Why Pailin?

Why MCCain?

What a meaningless gesture from San Francisco Peosi! The do nothing congress would only do nothing!

Just imagine what it would be like with an equivocating, elitist, President Obama and an elitist Pelosi!

Hey Kristen, I'm a woman.

Greed! Greed! Selling American's out to the highest bidder. Wake up America, the more foreign investment, the less secure you are, there goes your job and your children's future. I heard that China already owns 39%, now the Arabs want to buy up the rest. Tell Congress to stop the selling out of America!

You think Bush is going to to do anything now?….he's been clueless for the past 8 years.

Congress should have a vote of NO CONFIDENCE in Nancy Pelosi and remove her as spaker of the House! She's been in that position for more than 2 years and hasn't done anything we Democrats elected them to do. So who does she think she's fooling now?

Good for Pelosi! Call Bush on the carpet. Let him squirm out of this. He has no answers or plans and neither does McCan't and his sidekick, Moose Rodeo clown Palin.
OBAMA BIDEN 08!

Gosh, two in one day! Republicans are jumping ship. First, Nebraska Rep. Sen Chuck Hagel and now Maryland Rep.. Congressman Wayne Gilchrest. Republicans are waking up to the fact that the Republican ticket is a mess, it's time to save their own butts.

Someone needs to fire this lady. They probably spent all day behind closed doors to make sure they got their anwsers straight about the Federal Housing Enterprise regulatory Reform act of 2005. Everyone need to google this. Why did this not Get past. CNN please do your job. This questions needs to be put to the Obama people and Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi!!!

Hey Nancy,

Here is a possible idea for you to fathom. SHUT UP AND DO YOUR JOB! Seriously lady what is your problem? Did you forget your position in Congress and how most of this mess falls under your job and how you as representative of the people you should have been looking out for this long long ago.

Maybe if you were not taking such long breaks from doing your job you would have caught this sooner.

You, Harry Reid and your puppet Obama are pathetic do nothing losers. Good luck finding work be cause America is going to fire you the first chance we get.

I love how the GOP conveniently forgets that for 6 of the last 8 years, they have been in charge of both houses of congress, the executive branch, and the Supreme Court. THe Dems get a 1-person advantage in the Senate for two years (and that's only if you consider Lieberman a Dem, which he clearly isn't anymore) and now suddenly everything is their fault. Bush used no vetoes for the first 6 years and 39 the last 2–including progressive housing reform legislation and energy legislation. Why wouldn't she ask Bush what his stance is? There's no point for Congress to legislate unless they know whether Bush will just veto it and waste everyone's time. When the Hell is our President going to come out and address this crisis? Did he leave the job early or something? He is literally retarded–I'd be interested to know how he fares on an IQ test. Talk about sexim–harcore conservatives love to bash Pelosi, but everytime I confront one about their complaints and ask for specific reasons why they dislike her, they can't think of any. They hate her because she's a woman in a powerful position and that's that

Pelosi helped cause the current economic crisis and she's asking someone else to help her out?

Pelosi is asking President Bush for help fixing her mess.

When people star to realize it's not the government who should be involved in matters like this we'll make some progress. Some regulation is necessary too much will hurt our economy. Let's not make the situation worse. Most of Pelosi's recommendations will make the government bigger. That is the wrong way to go. I've never seen her put her country before her party before, so I'm skeptical that she is willing to do it now. I still hold a slimer of hope that the democrats will actually act in the best interest of our country, I hope they come through.

HEY PELOSI. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!! The economy was fine 2 years ago until the Dems took over Congress. It's Congress' job to have oversight. So where was the oversight? This Congress is a DO-Nothing disgrace. They should all be fired!

Former head of Freddie Mac on your VP search committee…… received second most $$$$ from Fannie and Freddie over a 20 year period . He as been in the Senate only four. Impressive for a junior senator. He could not decided yesterday about the AIG issue and Nancy and Harry want to go on vacation. Leadership………please. A monkey could do more than the three of Nobama, Nancy and Harry combined. McCain-Palin…….get use to it.

Nancy Pelosi is an absolute joke and needs to be gone. She is one of the main reasons we have had an absolute do nothing Congress over the last two years. Barney Franks is the Chairman of the Banking oversight committee why isn't he taking heat over this? Thank you liberal media. The Democrats have had the congressional majority for the last two years, and during the last two years or economy has tanked, unemployment has risen and I am worse off than I was before they came into congressional power. Congress has gone from a 40% approval rating to a 9% approval rating. No meaningful legislation has been enacted. When do we wake up and hold these people accountable. This tired old retoric about Bush vetoing is baloney. If the Democratic Congress were doing anything at all and Bush was Vetoing their efforts the News Media as well as Democrats in general would be all over it. It is all we would hear about from the media, this did not happen. This is the typical finger pointing attempts to take the heat of the Democrats and place it on the Republicans, not that they have done any better during the last eight years. How can Barack keep a straight face telling people he is only going to tax a specific group and not effect anyone else. This is income redistribution. How does he really think you grow jobs if we increase the taxes placed on business causing them to eliminate jobs to cut their cost. I do not know what world Obama, much less the rest of Congress is living in, but it must be sunny there. We have serious problems, illegal immigration, economy, taxes, sending our jobs overseas, and we need serious people dealing with them. We as Americans need to get rid of the current so called leaders. Pelosi and Barney Franks should be the very first to go, she is a total waste of skin and is a poor excuse of a leader. Finally, I would like to see potential candidates talk stricktly about the issues of which neither one has done even if you stretch the issue. I want to hear about possible solutions that are not going to put me at a greater disadvantage than I am now. Neither Obama or McCain seem to be able to do this. I am not interested in just hearing what is wrong and who is to blame for it, give me solutions. In my opinion both parties are eq
