You're in Canary Wharf aren't you? I'm sure the bankers there will think up something fun to do with the protesters. There were some anti-capitalist protesters down there a few months back; the bankers started throwing 5 pound notes out of the windows at them.m3thod wrote:

This issue started With Bush in power, Obama is taking on the mess which started in the U.S, with bush in power i repeat.
What Obama will not bring miracles straight away, it takes time and patience
His treasury secretary is INCOMPETENT!!!!!!!!!!!! His toxic asset plan is DESIGNED TO FAIL! Look at the kind of money they are spending!!! WE THE PEOPLE ARE "LOANING" ALL this money to the federal government. Which in turn has given NO GUARANTEE we will get our money back. . . In fact they have been so brash in saying the private sector will assume all losses regardless what the government does. Its INSULTING AND WRONG what GEITHER and OBAMA ARE DOING!!
This economic mess is not Bush's fault!! This started at the end of the Clinton administration!! Which administration created Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac???? Those two entities were created to give people WHO SHOULDNT be able to buy homes, the ability to BUY HOMES. . . . . Thats right, Bill Clinton/his administration began this fiasco/toxic asset mess.
Wall Street ran with these bull shit loans AND WERE WARNED by various economists and didnt do shit. . . aka they were making too much money to care.
This crisis cannot be soley blamed on George Bush! That would just be factually incorrect due to the fact this problem has been stewing for OVER 10+ years.
Obama is a fixture of the media nothing more. . . . he was anointed president because he is black and it would be "a good thing for the USA" regardless of what he actually does in office. What he is doing is ruining our treasury and doing it in less than 100 days. . . . . devastatingly shocking

"said Nile Gardiner, director of the conservative Heritage Foundation's Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom."
Margret Thatcher and the words freedom shouldn't be in the same sentence never mind listening to someone from a foundation in her name.
You know the total mess that bitch made of the UK right? Never mind what she did in Northern Ireland, Shoot to kill etc.
I only had time to read the first half of the first link. Who were the rest of the quotes from? "The Joseph Stalin centre for Humanity" and "The Micheal Moore foundation of balanced reporting"?

Get it?Congress shall have the power to establish police forces, to enforce the laws and protect the people on federally owned land, to protect federal employees while performing their duties, to enforce federal law, to protect the privileges, immunities and rights of the People when not adequately protected by the states, and to coordinate and distribute information between state and local police organizations.
Congress shall create no class of individuals, such as federal officers or federal employees, that are protected over and above other citizens of the United States. Congress shall write no law protecting federal property from destruction, theft or copy, to a degree above and beyond normal protections established for private property. Congress shall write no criminal law that usurps jurisdiction of criminal acts from state governments based on the criminal act occurring on federal property, on federal military bases, or upon national parks, or upon other federal areas located within the borders of a state. (Congress shall retain full and exclusive legislative authority over the District of Columbia, and such other US territories and possessions over which no state or local legislative body has jurisdiction.)
Congress has the power to write laws applying on military bases, national parks, or other federal properties unique to the character and function of such properties, but such laws shall not be construed to over ride or usurp state jurisdiction over basic criminal laws protecting rights, life and property.
Congress shall have the power to write laws protecting the privileges, immunities and rights of US Citizens, but federal enforcement of said laws shall be deferred without court finding that the states have failed in their protection of the rights, privileges and immunities of the People.
Congress shall have the power to regulate interstate communications, commerce and transportation for purposes of increasing safety, efficiency and convenience.

Man, you really make it hard for me to believe you're not a racist sometimes. If you truly labour under the idea that Obama only won the Presidency because of his skin colour then you really are, at least a little bit, racist. Did the Nigerian President only get elected because of the colour of his skin? Why is it such an issue in America as far as you're concerned? If the entire election race were carried out behind screens most people would have been hard pressed to separate the candidates on anything other than traditional left/right policy positions and yet you continually go on about the skin colour issue.lowing wrote:

Ya see what happens when you vote in a rock star as your president? Ahhhhh if only the people voted for him based on the issues instead of his skin color, his looks or his celebrity ( which was invented), and it only took 2 months. Oh well, you wanted him you got him.

On topic... questionable sources aside, I'm a little shocked that you would be surprised that an incumbent President's opinion polls might dip somewhat in the midst of one of the biggest financial crises in living memory (a crises that he inherited!). Our Taoiseach was sworn in with tremendous support in this country and yet just this week alone we have seen more mass protests asking for his head and even works of art designed to shame and humiliate him.
Personally I shudder to think where we'd be right now if McCain/Palin were putting in their ten cents to this big shit sandwich.
Exactly Mitch... what America needs is more politicians who don't know the geographic layout of continents like Africa, who believe that dinosaur fossils were put on earth to test our faith in God, who believed that the Iraq war was a good idea, who believe that living in a part of the world that shares an arctic region with Russia qualifies as experience in International affairs, who believe that abstinence is the only way to tackle teen pregnancy, who lean on members of the security services as part of a personal vendetta, who spend vast amount of public money on redesigning their office and who spend vast amounts of campaign money on makeup and personal clothing items for their friends.Mitch wrote:

....I'll just keep posting his name as a response to any accusations of stupidity, bad public speaking or cataclysmic failure against the Democrats. His name is enough, it alone conjures up the best image of idiocy possible.

Bush was president for many "Good" years and yet he was still running up debt. Obama came into this giant mess left by Bush, not saying Obama is an angel solving world problems. but all im saying is that the 8 years of bush created all these problems.
That's a pretty simplistic view. GWB doesn't micromanage the world's economic structures or institutions. A large combination of things got us in this mess and to try pin it on a single guy who was by and large a figurehead being controlled by other interests is very wrong.Little BaBy JESUS wrote:

Yes i know, but it was during the Bush presidency that these problems started. I'm just saying that during all those years of growth its interesting that GWB was still running up debt. and now Obama is running up more debt trying to stimulate the economy and people are outraged.Flecco wrote:

It is rather ridiculous. The blame can be placed on both parties for running up debts and encouraging risky behavior, so blaming Obama or even Bush completely is not being observant of the buildup of debt that has occurred since about the 80s.Little BaBy JESUS wrote:

If it were a white Joe Biden vs a Republican Obama, do you really think the black community would have voted for Biden? Why don't you set aside your attacks of racism for a change and look at the real reason this guy was voted in office, here is a hint, the ISSUES had nothing to do with it. and why you might ask? because he never spoke of the issues, he only spoke of this bullshit mysterious "CHANGE" he was going to bring.
