Come on! There isn't a single sidewalk quarterback out here who would not get bashed to high heaven, not one who would have all kinds of nitty faults found out about him or her, if he or she made a run for it. And once in office – ANYONE who is elected will get hit, and get hit hard, by both sides: too much this way.. no, no, too much the other way. Anything and everything that goes wrong will be blamed on that person, including Obama. If elected, he WILL be blamed for plenty of stuff, rightly or wrongly.

What I do NOT like is the debate I heard the other night where Obama just simply could not stay with the issue to be decided on. He HAD to repeatedly and continually cast blame on the Republicans. I cannot abide that at all; that dirty bashing nauseates me. What goes around comes around, MISTER Obama. Sometimes big time! I find myself really hoping that it does.

Yes, I'm a whitey. But yes, have very, very close black friends. My dislike is for bashers, ANY bashers, not a dislike for race.

Give Sarah a break. She might end up being better for this country than any of you could ever be, and better than any of the other three. Wouldn't that set your flapping jaws asunder.

We can just have other people pay for it. How about we call in the markers other countries owe us? I know the Marshall Plan has never been paid back and Europe seems to have money to spare. How many billions have we "loaned" Israel since the 70's and not one penny has come back? Not to mention the many many other countries that owe us in one way or another over the years.

What? That's a crazy idea? And you think printing 700 billion dollars, allowing the government officials who helped cause this and give it to the companies that racked up the debt IS a sane one? The Germans once printed money to pay off their debts, how did that work out again?

Do some research before you contribute to the discussions. Obama's contributions came from employees of the companies. McCain had even more contributions from the companies although his came from the CEO's and executives (you know, the crooked ones who caused the problems....).

Oh, and McCain's campaign manager Rick Davis has collected over two million dollars in fees up until last month through his lobbying company.......

So, john, just STFU until you actually look past the republican spin and do your homework.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. I'm not voting anymore, Another 4 yrs of this crap.

One man, one vote.

"Obama is coming to DC to vote 'Present'. What a hypocrite. he has done nothing and he knows nothing. Sikcne when did he become an economist. He has no experience in politics and now he wants to talk about bailout. He has blinded Americans and media has been pro-Obama. Barack -Get lost."

Sorry Democrat, if you do not see that Obama has more leadership skills in his little finger than all of McCain has, then please vote for McCain. In fact, just join the Republicans and do us a favor. I am not happy that Hillary lost but Obama is the better choice. I can not and will not turn our country over to a bunch openly crooked and hypocritical excuses for leaders. We have suffered enough the last 8 years. NO MORE!

For anyone that has a doubt, such as John who wants to know how many earmarks are in the bill. Go online, the entire bill is there for you to read. If more people would read it then they would understand. This is not just about Wall Street! It's about the banks extending credit to our employers, etc. for daily operations, when the business is small or employs thousands of people.

Get real and read the bill before you make any more stupid comments. As usual the majority of the American public starts speaking before they do their homework and make uneducated remarks.

1. Criticize specific components of the plan that simply don't exist
2. Offer opinions on the net impact of the plan unless you are a Wall Street veteran or a PhD in economics
3. Regurgitate opinions of partisan political pundants who are not qualified to offer an informed opinion or have a huge axe to grind regarding the bill

The proclivity of some people to confidently and loudly proclaim their opinions is often only outstripped by both their lack of knowledge and their ignorance of the facts. If you do not understand the bill, please shut up and let your elected representative take care of it.

America, the enemy is us.

I am voting this year and for Obama

Can't wait unti Nov 4 for Obama to be President.

Welcome to the world where the "have-nots" dictate where your money goes.

I am ready for whatever this thing throws at me.

You are not making any change for America, not helping our country or our citizens who make under $250,000 annually. This is, as they say about the Senate often, just another exercise of mutual masterbation.

All loans must be paid off however they can be. Businesses could be extended credit on accounts receivable; payroll, bills and material should be covered by profit realized that means you earn the money first. The housing market has been inflated beyond all reason by the folding in of credit card debt, and must be readjusted. This means that bailout money should go to purchasing these properties at a real value and negotiating a reasonable payable loan with either the present owner or a new buyer, but the credit card debt that has been rolled into these mortgages must be jettisoned from them. There will be losses but it is really a question of admitting the losses that have already occurred.

Why Is The Standard For White People Running For Office So Much Lower, and Acceptable?

WATCH OUT FOR US!

WE are the VOTERS!

DESTROY everything we have worked for

and RUN FOR COVER!

You have no other choice but to do this. Businesses live off of credit to buy things and pay employees which is you and to keep the business alive. The FDIC will increase to $250,000.00 so that people will not panic and take their hard earn cash out the bank, The bank make loans off your money. If it is not there then they will put a freeze on everything.

So it is your call, however there is no choice but to hope and pray for a change that things will get better.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt : Elected to four terms in office, he served from 1933 to 1945 and is the only U.S. president to have served more than two terms. He was a central figure of the 20th century during a time of worldwide economic crisis and world war.

During the Great Depression of the 1930s, Roosevelt created the New Deal to provide relief for the unemployed, recovery of the economy, and reform of the economic and banking systems.Although recovery of the economy was incomplete until almost 1940, the programs he initiated such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continue to have instrumental roles in the nation's commerce. One of his most important legacies is the Social Security system.

All loans must be paid off however they can be. Businesses could be extended credit on accounts receivable; payroll, bills and material should be covered by profit realized that means you earn the money first. The housing market has been inflated beyond all reason by the folling in of credid card debt, and must be readjusted. This means that bailout money should go to purchasing these properties at a real value and negotiating a reasonable payable loan with either the present owner or a new buyer but the credit card debt that has been rolled into these mortgages must be jettisoned from them.

what's the deal?

Whatever, Dan.

He is using public funding to run a campaign, guy.

Maybe if Sarah Palin gets in to the white House she can reform government. She will take the useless government members out; keep just enough to run the Country. That would save hundred thousand of $ to help wall street and America.

And by the way, the Senate is doing this at night because of a Jewish holiday. Perhaps people making an issue think they should ignore it? Democrat for McCain, when Obama actually votes will you post on a blog here that you were wrong? Probably not.

Maybe if Sarah Palin gets in to the white House she can reform government. She will out of useless government members keep just enough to run the Country. That would save hundred thousand of $ to help wall street and America.

Rather then make his money men, who by the way failed him, stand up in front of the people they are trying to get the money from (us) and tell (us) they have stollen from us, he, being big daddy Bush, thought he could come out once again and scream WOLF WOLF and we would all be very afraid and give him the gun to shoot the wolf . Instead we have told him to go kill the wolf himself.

And so the story goes Dave, don't cry wolf unless there really is one whether its in Iraq or at home.....

I just hope that Americans see the system for what it really is – a sham! We keep talking about change but we really do not want real
change. I hope Palin whips Biden on Thursday.
