You are making the case that the economy is good and improving, good luck with
that. Obama could run on the slogan “It could be worse.”
@papa
I think improving works, I wouldn’t quite say it’s good now. I think the slogan for me that works is do you want to go back to the policies that got us in this mess(ie the fairy tale of trickle down economics and a foreign policy team that is war happy).
@Coffee
More billionaires are fleeing from the market and now so are lower level investors, including this one.

I know billionaires like Buffet, Poulson, and Soros have started dumping American stocks. Soros invested in $130 million worth of the precious metal.

Spain Recoils, as Its Hungry Forage Trash Bins for a Next Meal
http://www.cnbc.com/id/49162890
for just Mark:
The Spanish government raised the value-added tax three percentage points, to 21 percent, on most goods, and two percentage points on many food items, making life just that much harder for those on the edge
I’m sorry my dog got sick, Monday is open, see you there
I wonder if Romney is still trying to figure out why Airplane windows don’t roll down. I knew he was clueless but I didn’t know he was that dumb when it comes to common sense.
So I thought I would tune in to The Five to check it out (I can always watch Hardball at 7:00). My initial impressions:
1). Is Bob Beckel on painkillers? I’ve never seen him so neutered. I guess he’s been beaten down by the other four.
2). Four ultra-righties who hate the president. I guess I understand why the wackos on this site love this show. It’s all Obama hate coming from these four.
3). What a bunch of whiners. All they do is bitch and complain about the media. Don’t they understand that they are part of the media? Just a bunch of whining hypocrits.
4). I don’t know which of the four whiners I despise the most … the obligatory blonde right-winger or the brunette. I think it’s the blonde who is as sanctimonious as they come. The two dudes just bloviate the same-old extreme right-wing talking points.
So, I’ve given the “Fair-and-Balanced” channel a chance. It’s a joke.
At least MSNBC doesn’t try to present it’s opinion shows as “Fair-and-Balanced” and “No Spin Zone.” I’m now stunned that the Righties on this site would get off on this “news” channel. Time for me to change channels.
^^^^^ I’m NOT stunned the Righties on this site would get their rocks off on this news channel.
Bottom line you right wing water carriers don’t have the candidate to take back the white house, and you have about 45 more days to fools your selves into thinking you do, Enjoy it. By the way who said anything about Ford needing a bail out, Ford didn’t post a profit until the end of Q3 in 2009. Like I said you handed the president a housing market in shambles, auto sector in shambles , financial sector in shambles. The fact that you idiots would blame a president in office for 3 years instead of Congress members in office for decades who are largely responsible for the condition of this country tells me the IQ level I’m dealing with. Like I said Enjoy fooling your selves into thinking you have a shot at the white house for the next month and a half. Nielson is an Ad Tool not really a way to gauge who watches what in 2012 with online viewing, DVR & ondemand and a hundred other ways to track viewership. Keep fooling your self into thinking America watches Fox when its really an outlet for people with one view point. The rest of us get like 20 news channels to choose from, I digress back to the greater point T Minus 43 days until reality sets in for you guys and you shut your pie holes
@phil
hahahahhahhahahaha how can anybody be that dumb you’re as dumb as I am and that’s saying something.
@phil
