Fiorina: ‘It may be Barack Obama who is running for Bush III.’»

Last night on Bloomberg TV, McCain economic adviser Carly Fiorina repeated the laughable claim first offered by McCain economic adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin that Sen. Barack Obama — not John McCain — would be a third Bush term. Fiorina said:

I think if you look at the record, it may be Barack Obama who is running for Bush III. But it certainly is not John McCain.

Watch it/read transcript at link~

Even conservative pundit Bob Novak found this argument to be “the silliest thing I have ever heard.” McCain – who voted with Bush 100 percent of the time in 2008 and 95 percent of the time in 2007 – is “totally in agreement” with the president on the “most important issues of the day.” As McCain’s chief surrogate Lindsey Graham has said, McCain’s policies would “absolutely” be an “extension” and “enhancement” of Bush’s.

1. She was CEO of HP. She was a total failure.

Eventually the board had enough and threw her out. HP's stock skyrocketed the minute it was reported she forced out.

4. She did a bang-up job

over at Lucent, too.

6. Yes.

Lucent was quite the success when they let their lunch get eaten by Redback.

5. So now she gets every opening on m$m to hawk McSame. Now

I'm annoyed, though I do remember when she was 'let-go', but with millions. Damned if you do, and keep on doing?

7. Go slow there cowboy......there's a lot more to the story......

don't be so quick to paint everything in black-white/right-wrong terms......it's not how the 'world works' if you are attempting to find some truth in this tragic place.

Do some homework/"due-diligence" first please.....then 'report'/post your comments (opinions, if you "must" ~ remember that, "opinions are like *ssholes - everyone has one". Studied analysis....FACTS....things that can be offered along a logic nature are ALWAYS WELCOME!

Peace,

8. Okay.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Hewlett-Packard Co. Chairman and CEO Carly Fiorina, one of the most powerful women in corporate America, is leaving the troubled computer maker after being forced out by the company's board.

Shares of HP (Research) jumped 6.9 percent in heavy trading on the New York Stock Exchange Wednesday on the news. But at one point, the stock was up as much as 10.5 percent.

"The stock is up a bit on the fact that nobody liked Carly's leadership all that much," said Robert Cihra, an analyst with Fulcrum Global Partners. "The Street had lost all faith in her and the market's hope is that anyone will be better."

Fiorina, the only female CEO at a company in the Dow Jones industrial average, had been with HP since 1999. But the company's controversial deal to buy Compaq in the spring of 2002 -- after a bruising proxy fight led by one of the Hewlett family heirs -- has not produced the shareholder returns or profits she had promised.

So, what did I say that wasn't true?

2. I sure would like to know what they/he thinks is good about this....

"Lindsey Graham has said, McCain’s policies would “absolutely” be an “extension” and “enhancement” of Bush’s."

This guy (Lindsey Graham) has got to be brain dead if he thinks that anything that the Bush Administration has done is good for America or the World. I seriously want some of what these Rat Bastards are smoking (ingesting) cause I am missing out here.

3. It makes me feel dirty to say, but Novak is right about something.

Carly Fiorina is a loopy wombat of the highest order.
