"Burning Down The House" video

Posted By Tom Rodstrom

The video might be worth watching if it made a point rather than just flash opinions for seconds or less and then move on. I watched for about a minute and moved on.

Does Barack Obama Have Any Friends Who AREN'T Comm

Posted By Tom Rodstrom

More fiction from the right. They are so desperate that they won't even use real names and use fictional characters like Ragnar Danneskjold to push their "facts".

Question for all the economic gurus...

I heard something on the radio this morning, don't even know who said it but it was interesting.

There are 330 million people in the US. Why not give each one of them one million dollars? It's a lot less than the bailout package and there would be some serious spending going on. I understand the demand for credit would go down, but not for long. Americans are good at blowing through their cash quickly....especially "free" money. Mortgages, credit cards, personal loans, etc. would be paid off (at least by the responsible citizen). The loaners would be flush with cash again. I could get a new Tak, hell I'd buy one for Rod also. The only downside I can see right now is we would all fall into Obama's "rape the rich in the name of those more worthy of their success" tax plan. Some folks could even use the million to replace the small business they lost due to Obama's plan. It's a win-win.
Mike
330 million times $1 million = $330 trillion which is somewhat more than the $700 billion cost of the bail out package. You must be using Bush trickle down math! wink

Prosecutor Fitzgerald could send Obama to jail

Posted By Tom Rodstrom

I like the part about the "quid pro quo political endorsement several years later". All is lost. That's sure to put Obama in prison stat.

I'm not a Howard Stern fan, but this is interesting none the less:

two questions come to mind:
1.) How typical are these views amongst Obama supporters?
2.) Will they be offset by Racist who won't vote for Obama because he's black.
The key for me is when Stern said "we found this woman". No one knows how many people he interviewed before he found the ones in the clip. He is an entertainer who is not known for his high standards.

Women like Obama; Men like McCain?

Posted By Tom Rodstrom

You're right. In earlier polling Barack Obama beats McCain with women and it's vice versa with men.

Just an ordinary hockey mum????

She probably showed up in Minneapolis wearing spandex with a vinyl jacket. Maybe she can get a guest spot in "My name is Earl" with her own wardrobe. wink
