In Reply to: Another Obama day.. Another Dow tank.. Where's your messiah now? - nm
in September. Heard Jim Cramer at that time say the economy was going to tank soon; heeded the advice and pulled out that day. O is certainly bringing hope and change to the masses, isn't he? You better hope you have some money to retire on and change your retirement plan!

My goodness, what it
to open their eyes! Remember when Pat Robertson said hurricanes were God's way of punishing Florida for Disney World allowing gay partners medical benefits? What do you think he thinks now...oh wait a minute, think..he thinks? OMG, they've confused me so!!!! LOL....Karma wagon comin' round...dum de dum. See, now if Katrina or Rita were to go to Venezuela!
Yes, thank goodness for
the others you mentioned. The so-called liberal media have given these clowns a free ride. At least a few have awakened after a very deep sleep. I especially love Ms.Thomas; leave it to a tough old broad (and I mean this with great affection and admiration) to have the b***s to call them on their BS.
Goodness me.......
Yikes! That quiz is too scary!
I was toying with the idea that I might change candidates....now? No way!!
oh my goodness!
Obma thinks babies are punishment? I can't believe it. I have contri buted over $300 to his campaign. I have worked a phone bank in his honor. No one told he thought BABYs were PUNISHment. Well, I don;'t care anymore, wall street crumbing be darned, a war that never seems to end or pause, none of that matters now that I know he said such a heartless cruel thing. He probably pinches kittens when no one is looking. Thanks for the info, my head is on straight about this election now. Whooh.
Goodness
I was not jumping on anyone. I simply said that those who do not believe in Jesus would go to h*ll. That you do not get to h*ll by just being good. How is that being angry? And as far as I knew, not wanting someone to go to h*ll because of their lack of belief, is the strongest form of love that you can show anyone. These days, every one including a lot of Christians are so concerned about being politically correct and not offending anyone. I mean come ON. This behavior and lack of drive has gotten prayer taken out of schools and God taken out of our country.
Just because a Christian says hey, if you are not saved, you arent going to heaven doesnt mean that they are speaking out of anger or that they are sinning. It means they are speaking THE TRUTH. There is no more time for sugar coating things. This is reality and for every person that you gloss over the scripture to, it is on your head before God. So, I will handle things the way that I feel God leads me, and leave the judgment of my actions up to you.
Thank goodness!!! s/m
Good to see another write-in voter. Maybe if we get enough converts to common sense we can really make a change in our government.
goodness
I didnt read anywhere where gourdpainter said that we dont all have rights. I didnt even see her mention minorities. I did see her imply that someone who doesnt believe in Jesus is amoral either. Just jump all over her for her beliefs. Talk about being supressed and rights being violated. She is receiving that from you.
My goodness....sm
Struck a chord somewhere with you?
Obama is no JFK. Period. JFK did have the greatness you mention, but again, Obama doesn't even come close.
Obama wants to take away your civil rights, and you're okay with that. I feel sorry for what you'll get if he's elected, by hook or crook.
If you think Obama challenging the American people to become a great socialist nation, for that's what's he doing, by any name other than socialism...., you're definitely in for a big disappointment. You have no idea what hope and change this man will wrought.
I'm not wallowing in anything at all. Interesting how you didn't dispute the fact that both JFK and BO elections were/are rigged.
(and maybe the LSD line was a bit cheap, but hey....you brought up the expanding the mind thing, not me....lol....)
p.s. I think you got that negative energy thing wrong, though. There's at least half of this nation putting out positive energy to counter all the bias that the media and blind followers have for this man. It's hardly negative. It's a big positive, and I'm willing to bet that the person who wins the White House next week, is not Obama.
Just wait till we get behind the curtain to cast our votes.
My goodness....sm
I don't think I'm even going to try to follow what has just gone on here below, as it is now almost the entire page listed....my head is spinning.... with it all.
I will say that I am glad to see both sides of the political spectrum come to the defense of others though.....I have come too late, and will just stay out of it all.
I need an aspirin now! Maybe I'll just go get some ice cream instead....or chocolate.....
oh my goodness
What silliness!!! Throngs of people demanding to see the birth certificate .... really now.
thank goodness..........
@2
Thank goodness!!
That should never, ever have been allow to go into effect in the first place.
If your personal beliefs exempt you from being able to perform your duties, then find another line of work.
My goodness,
Guess you don't understand that what happens in the U.S., in some areas, determines what happens outside the U.S. Your stance on the president doesn't need to be accountable to the citizens who pay his salary, is truly scary. Whether reported on Fox, or any other news station, we have no idea what is going on behind closed doors. O is making decisions that are going to put this country in great jeopardy. How do you not see that?
My goodness, it's so obvious
that you have blinders on! Wake up!
Thank goodness, no more political ads! nm

Thank goodness my DH and I took all of our retirement
and investments out of the market about 6 weeks ago, had a feeling something was coming.
Thank goodness someone has some sense on here
Heaven forbid I bring up welfare.....crazy posters pounce on ya like you're a horrible person. Welfare is NOT for the moochers of this country and believe me, there are plenty of those. And I'll give you one more .....the welfare system wasn't just for single mothers with children; it was for single mothers who lost their jobs in the first place. Most of them around here have no jobs, have NEVER had a job, and have absolutely no desire to work. They just keep having babies, usually by several different guys who have already populated our town with many other career welfare mothers..... I'm with you. Hire MORE caseworkers who actually do their job and cut the free ride off when they find several different family members living together off the government, several NICE vehicles sitting in front of their HUD homes, everything paid for by me and then there might actually be some money for those truly in need.
All those daddies standing on the corner holding their britches up all day instead of working makes me want to puke! GET A JOB!
HCA at least has Frisk.....thank goodness!

My goodness - you'd better write and tell someone
Hardly quite that simple or people way smarter than you or I would have solved it. The studies on the effectiveness of preventive measures, incidentally, study people who DO participate in prevention - not those who don't.
huh, what does that have to do with the market
going down while the O's been in office.
Your attempt at a joke is lame.
Goodness I meant memo!
too much transcribing today!
my goodness....am I ever popular tonight....lol...
almost as much as you sam!!
When I told them to carry on, they reallllyyyyy carried on.....lol....
Gotta love those dems....
For goodness sakes...he's already put his foot
And I suppose you're okay with the comment he let slip out when he said "spread the wealth" when asked by a plumber how he was supposed to keep his business open with higher taxes, that he wouldn't be able to employ more people and would end up losing is business. Obama did not care at all. He very callously smirked and opening admitted he needs to "spread the wealth".
You do understand that concept? It means NO TAX CUTS FOR YOU but you will be seeing large sums of money being used to put more and more on the welfare payroll. He has disguised these at "tax credits". Well, got a news flash for ya. YOU won't be getting a tax credit but someone you know might be getting a paycheck for doing nothing at all.
There is NO SUCH THING. MY goodness, you people
should not take stuff so literally. Of course, there is no "pool" of any sort. Maybe that poster was joking. Lighten up!
Oh my goodness! Chillax people!
You don't even know what color my skin is so how dare you! I feel sorry for you because obviously YOUR racism is showing. Yes, the man hasn't even been in office for a full week but MY POINT was that even with that little amount of time....look at the huge list of promises he has made with 2 already broken.
This is not a race thing. This is staying informed on stuff because I refuse to let government screw me again.
stock market
Everybody was playing on the fear factor. Panic sets in and everybody starts selling. According to what I have heard, there are now great stock buys and that is what they are seeing.
Everybody gets so wrapped up in this "sky is falling" mentality and that is what the government hopes.
All their little nay sayers trying to scare the sense out of everybody but what they are hearing from their constiuents say do NOT say yes to the bill. The people do not believe that everything is going to h@ll in a hand basket if they vote NO to the bill.
I'm sure a lot more votes would have been yes yesterday if it had not been for their constituents faxing, calling, and e-mailing telling them they oppose such bailout.
I think a lot of people will do that and the market will
.
Who knows, funny how the market went
out of control when the race was within a few points, which only helps the dems out. The market can easily be manipulated by anyone with money (the Warren Buffets and George Soros' of the world) not to mention other countries.
My take on the whole election though is white guilt is going to push O into office. This is an historic election, people get caught up in the frenzy and emotion of it all, want to be a part of history in some small way, and voting for O seems not only politically correct (did you know you're a racist if you don't vote for him?) but eases a little of the white guilt some people have (another touchy-feely, PC thing to have). A man who has not had to answer tough questions, has little to no experience, has associations with radical tendencies, flip flops on most issues and is willing to wave the white flag is most likely going to be our next president. My only questoin is, what are Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and all the other lefties going to talk about for the next 4 years? I have a feeling the real truth about O is going to come out in the coming years.
Well here we go. Stock market -411.30 plus
Barney Fife writing proposal now to bail out the automakers with $25B stipulating GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
The government is backing away from buying troubled mortgages and now are going to put it in an investment program taking capital. The facts changed. His approach is to give banks enough cash to keep homes on the books and keep cash in the banks.
They will not bail out those people who shouldn't have taken out the loans in the first place.
American Express is jumping on the bailout wagon requesting $3.5B.
They really opened a can of worms here.
So the stock market's down.... sm
How bad is it? According to the article linked below...........
With Thursday’s rout, $8.3 trillion in stock market wealth has been erased in the last 13 months. 
For more info...... http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/21/business/21markets.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1
So what!!!! Where were you when the stock market went down
Haven't you learned your lesson yet. You only comment on a good day and remain silent with the rest of the crats on a bad day.
How many people on this board have been telling you to quit commenting every time the market hiccups. But you feel this need to only comment when it goes up.
Your post is not worth the time reading.
Goodness seems to be routing me right back to the board
FYI gt, using vulgar language or posting pictures of vulgar hand gestures is against the rules, not that you care, but I think the board monitor is on to ya.
Thought you guys liked foul mouthed hand gesturing people. I don't understand why you think this is some kind of ammo.
For goodness' sake, where did critical thinking go?
It's an editorialized article that includes many statements and facts meant for the reader to consider. It's not something intended to be only true or not true. You're supposed to THINK about it and measure it against what you know and come to your own opinion about it, and if it jars you, check out the facts for accuracy yourself. What has happened to the right's ability to think soundly?
My goodness. This must be the rude anonymous dem poster...sm
. Constantly putting my posts down. Seems to be your goal in life lately.
Excuse me? My goodness, aren't we the bitter one?
of all time. The challenge he laid down to Americans put us on the moon before his 10 year prediction...an awesome feat that no doubt was accomplished within that time frame to honor his memory. His legacy is the stuff legends are made of, a view that is shared with us by people worldwide. His initiatives to advance freedom, civil rights and equality were unparalled in the history of our country, with the exception of Abraham Lincoln.
Obama inspires literally MILLIONS of Americans in much the same way and for much the same reasons that JFK did. I have no doubt that he will be the transformational leader Colin Powell predicts he will be.
Your petty pot shot about the LSD trip is hateful and uncalled for. There is no way you could have possibly been around for the 1960 election...you demonstrate the maturity of a 2-year old and the ignorance (especially regarding your ill-informed comment about the 1960 election)....well, that's another story.
The old guard is going down. It is likely not to see the light of day again for quite some time. If you want to wallow around in all that negative energy, go fo it, but you have no right to begrudge ANYBODY the right to hope.
And thank goodness California's failed; dont want
.
I read your post and thank goodness you are not in charge sm
Do you not understand that it is not okay to imprison people who are innocent? Do you not understand that his is a human rights issue that affects each and every one of us on this planet? Do you think beyond your own fears?
Answer me!
I hope you are being sarcastic - my goodness - they are kids! nm

The right has the market cornered on disrespect ...sm
to soldier's families. Hands down they win that award.
Especially if the family has anything contrary to say about this administration. Yeah, and we are the ones who don't support the soldiers.
Hm-m-m. Anybody notice the stock market is up, and
financial gained 16% today. That's curious. Can someone explain why?
I just think it's because the stocks were so low yesterday that it was a buyer's market.
There are tons of homes on the market.
More homes for sale would bring the price down. The house would be appraised at a reasonable value. Only the sincere folks should be eligible.
Many were owned by private investors who bit off more than they can chew, trying to get rich fast.
My home went up in value by 120,000 from what I paid for it, to settle at $250,000. The guy across the street sold his for that and ours are identical. Now, it is back down to about 150,000. But that is cool cuz I got it for 80,000 (fixer upper). This is calif which means a lot.
I did try to refi twice - Central Valley Mtg offered me nothing but an ARM. He wanted me to take 20,000 of equity out (He said I needed a vacation). I turned it down. (I'm a Suze Ormon fan). He actually threw his pen across the desk when I told him.
Second time, the mtg broker offered me tiered payments, just principal first year, then a low interest rate the next and over 5 years, the interest rate sours. He wanted me to take 20 grand more out to invest in the stock market (lol). Then, refi before the huge interest rates kick in. I walked away on that. He did not even offer a fixed rate. When I requested it, he made it sound like it was out of the question.
Finally, went to WAMU (which is now JP Morgan...) and they refi'ed me with a fixed rate.
Predatory lending at its best.
The stock market went from +250 to -150 after the vote. nm

Privatize SS, as in play the market with SS tax $.
and see what you come up with.
How low can she go? No lower with frozen market.
can they stay frozen? Russian markets closed until Tuesday. What does it mean with futures are "bottomed out?" What happens when they do open? Boy oh boy. What's up with that?
and here I thought conservatives had the market on

Have you noticed how the stock market goes up
or how the media has been fueling that engine by pushing and pushing and obsessing over the cabinet appointments in search of dirt to dig up on them?
Obama has been trying to give voters a little reassurance, but I supposed lots of folks will find something wrong with that too.
Let the free market work.

The stock market will never, ever, see another dime of
Just because the market is up today doesn't mean
everything is hunky-dorrey. Let's not get over enthusiastic here. The market has been down more than up lately. I would rather wait 6 months to see what's happening before I touch that subject.
As for O laughing in the 60 minutes interview, it doesn't bother me that much. It could be a way for him letting off steam. I, myself, when stressed out (as in federal jury duty), was so relieved the trial was over, I burst out laughing after we left the courtroom. This could be his way of relieving stress.
There's just too much going on in this government that turns me off especially with the bailouts and the so-called stimulus package, and I'm not too happy right now. I don't like the thought that every taxpayer, including my grandchildren or great-childen should I have any, are in debt to the government to the tune of ???, (all different figures thrown around on that).
As for posting, I only post when I have something to say. The news is the same old, same old, nothing interesting or new, so why post garbage like some on this board do. Right now, nothing on the news is piquing my interest.
One question I have.....how can O NOT accept the resignation of someone in his cabinet? That one has me stumped. Anyone has the right to resign from a job. Since when can you not quit a job? You want to answer that one?
My goodness. O witch hunt sure is keeping you busy.
It is in its 3rd day. No comments on the discussions regarding party revamp? How about today's agenda? Keep your eye on Jindel. He did a great job in Louisiana with disaster mgmt...and GOP will be neding plenty of that in the 2008 election aftermath. Seriously, as a left-wing commie Marxist terrorist unAmerican anti-patriot, he has GOP leadership written all over him. Mayb you should take a hate break and take a look at him.
I think this board has the market cornered on trolls. NM
