85 yr old Bear Stearns gets sold for 2$ a share & there's still more than 1 top post about Wright!?!

[uponit7771]

WTF!!! Are we supposed to REALLY believe Obama hates his white mother because of 22 seconds of what his pastor says!?!??!?!

In the mean time the feds do the same thing Germany did in during the great depression!! They put up 200BILLION (with a b) of US T bills as collateral for money loans to banks!!! Germany had to do that with their land to monetize their currency and stop run away inflation during the great depression and we care about what Wright says!? http://www.cnbc.com/id/23573249 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND NOW NOW!!! The US Treasury is talking about how to "prevent" a run of 401k!!! No, not just you taking it out just MOVING it to bonds!!!!

ALARM TIME PEOPLE!!

Wright & Ferraro are red herrings, lets put this behind us a soon as possible and not let weather vane McCain and his "no regulation, free market" conservative ideology that GOT US INTO THIS as president(regulation 46R from Enron legislations) while US fiscal solvency becomes more of an issue.

Thank you for reading this

1. flame bait

"Are we supposed to REALLY believe Obama hates his white mother"
Strawman.

4. agreed

Agreed. Calling us 'white mothers' is not constructive.

[yardwork]

10. LOL! I'm a "white mother."

Still chuckling. Good one.

2. I agree, but the Bear Stearns posts would be in the General Discussion

Not General Discussion: Primaries

3. This Is GDP. Go To GD If You Want That. They Really Do Make It Easy For Ya.

9. The main point is to ask posters to stop bicking in the O vs. HC argument.

Consequently, it is about the primaries.

11. Right, I can understand some under exposed people being surprised at Wrights statements but the

...Bear Stearns thing is an essential run on the bank and Stearns wasn't even the major contributors to buying the falsely written paper!!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

12. This Is GDP. The Whole Point Of Its Existence Is To Debate Against Each Candidate.

But I love when newcomers come in and try and scold us for not adhering to their own wishes.

[Deep13]

14. Bickering is not the same as debating. nt

17. exactly

5. You raise two pertinant points

One, being that we should be focused on more important issues, especially the fact that the country is teetering on the brink of a major crisis.

I also agree that it is ludicrous to believe that Sen. Obama hates the white half of his family. That is just absurd.

6. People are still concentrating on Wright not the candidates that can get us out of this issue

[Deep13]

7. Absolutely agree.

Oil is trading at $110/barrel, gasoline is expected to approach $4/gal. this summer and the Euro is worth > $1.50.

This is fucking bad.

8. When I heard they're going to stop a run on 401k's that's when I perked up, I'm moving my...

...shit to bonds today

[earthside]

13. How True.

Like the crash of the economy doesn't beg the questions of what Obama, Clinton(s) and McCain would do if they become President?

This will shortly become THE "primary" issue for all Americans.

On the other hand, this is yet another turning point for Democrats ... if they express more interest in what Rev. Wright said than in a looming economic depression, then there will be big doubts about the Party's, the candidate's and their supporter's priorities.

Finally, I don't think it's flame bait -- that is a good point -- it is obvious Barack wouldn't agree with Wright's hyperbole because of his own personal circumstances.

15. We were talking about the very point this weekend that if we cant concentrate on the economy & more

...important things then we get what we deserve.

20 years of conservative deregulation has done us in!!!

16. what's coming will make the "Great Depression" look like "A walk in the park".................

our next president is going to have to be an FDR on steroids!

[uponit7771]

18. RIGHT!!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

19. Our next president better be an FDR on steroids...otherswise prepare for massive Hoovervilles
