Arkady's Thoughts

The way I see it. Spread the wealth around definitely sounds bad, Obama had little to say there. McCain should have used the words "socialism" and "liberal". Obama looked bad, but it could have been worse had McCain gone for the kill. Obama 0 McCain 1 Spending cuts was more of the same crap and I doubt Americans much care about the details put forth by the candidates. Obama gets the point for eloquence and for wisely bringing up Bush. Oof. Although I did enjoy "if you wanted to run against Bush, you should have run 4 years ago". cute. Why can't McCain just say "Obama you voted with your party 97% of the time". So much simpler. ugh. Obama 2 McCain 1 The question that Bob posed about nasty ads, was an absolutely perfect setup. PERFECT. After 5 minutes of useless back and forth, McCain finally went for it. Put Obama on the defensive! Excellent work John! Took some courage, but it is about freakin' time. Obama spun it as he...

This is what I am looking for today. McCain has to attack and attack swiftly, nail Obama on every personal matter that he can come up with. No one and I mean NO ONE cares about McCain's foreign policy or taxes. It is far too late now and too many people see McCain and hear Bush. He needs to bring up Wright, Ayers, ACORN, Khalidi. He needs to bring up Obama's anti-patriotism, why every radical terrorist and nutjob supports Obama. That is what he needs to do. Liberals will cry and whine that this is a facade an attempt to avoid the issues. Earth to liberals! Those ARE the issues. Besides, the first two debates clearly demonsrated that no matter what McCain proposed it was still regarded as more of the same. SO ATTACK! Put Obama on the defensive and MAKE HIM explain to America why all his friends are one of the following: 1) domestic terrorist 2) communist 3) international terrorist 4) anti-semite 5) anti-white WHY? Do something John, god damn it, do something.

Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies... Obama is singing some very pretty tunes, he sure makes his tax plan sound delicious. Certainly the prospect of punishing the rich and rewarding everyone else taps into the heart of every socialist soul out there. Sure, he is going to grow government faster than anyone since FDR , but who cares? At least those pesky wealthy bastards get what they deserve! I mean, gosh, look at the wealth disparity. The rich are getting richer and...well...I don't know why, but apparently the poor are getting poorer. Right on. Obama accuses McCain of being more of the same. Really? Let's see. McCain is refusing to punish the rich and spread wealth. Refuses to grow the government. Refuses to believe that the only way this country can get ahead is if we spread some money around. I guess Obama is right, he is more of the same. Not sure what he means by same, but it sounds bad. I can at least get people to agree that more government is not the...

The first 250 billion is now being allocated. So far I have mixed feelings about this. I am elated that they are not buying up garbage (toxic) mortgages and instead using the money to inject the banks with liquidity. This is important as it guarantees their solvency and that banks will continue to operate. This should alleviate the credit crunch that is precisely what is grinding our economy into a halt. I assume however that this ownership is a temporary measure. We do not want our govt to dictate the bank's policies - that will be a disaster. If they plan to do the same thing as Japan did, at the very least they can learn from Japan's mistakes. Nationalizing banks must be a swift and temporary measure to provide confidence and a source of security to the ailing banks. Buying up mortages is the worst thing they can do because it just rewards bad behavior. I heard talks that some Democrats proposed refinancing loans to a new lower adjusted rate. This is horse shit and ...

I was against this bailout from the start, despite all the smart people warning us that our life would end in an apocalyptic fashion. I would surmise that they all have something to gain, otherwise why would someone like Warren Buffet (who I greatly admire) support a flake like Obama? In any event, I would like to point out something. Democrats are ONCE AGAIN pushing for a stimulus package. For those unfamiliar, a stimulus package is welfare. It is a circulation of funds to a lower income pool of people that is paid for by a higher income pool. Welfare, k? Now, this last stimulus package was supposed to jump start the economy. It is similar to jump starting a car that is missing a wheel, has a broken muffler and the engine is so rusted it looks like a deep sea find. IT WILL NOT WORK. But liberals do not give a shit about this country and if they can pander to their voting class then they will give away other people's money until this country becomes the United Socialist Re...

Most people have a very weak understanding of our history. Most incorrectly assume that the Great Depression is a failure of capitalism. The only thing that is a failure of capitalism is the legion of socialist drones that threaten to take over my country. But for some there is still hope. Those that wake up every day to insure that the Bush legacy is reduced to a steaming corpse in the footnotes of history. I respect that, Bush is a dismal failure. Although I suggest that he is less of a failure than you may think. I have done some work on our first (yikes?) Great Depression. Check it out.

Tell me my dear Americans, have all of you lost your mind? Seriously? Do you realize that with the connections that Obama is currently sporting he would not be hired for any state job that required even the least bit of secrecy. This guy would barely pass Logan airport security (not exactly Fort Knox), yet he is practically in the white house? WTF? We don't know anything about him. Every school record is sealed. He has not produced a valid birth certificate. Obama is shadier than the dude that hangs out at the local gas station picking through trash. Look, I know, Bush sucks. Bush lied people died. I KNOW! Breathe. Does that give us an excuse to not even inquire about his past? The media and the zombies that follow it assume that he is smart because he went to Columbia + Harvard. SO? Did you forget he is black? Did you forget that Harvard practices affirmative action? Don't call me racist, I am being justifiably skeptical. Why am I the only one questioning his...
