Persecuted?!!

  1. caught and persectured.... classic.

    No one is commenting on something else he said. US Govt is authorized to buy illiquid securities from banks/firms to fix their balance sheets.

    So if you actively went out and took on excessive risk in these highly risky and illiquid securities, you can now sell them to the government and free yourself from your mistakes without consequence! I wish I would get do overs as well.

  2. Yeah, but you could fill the Library of Congress with Bushie's gaffs. BO is a tool as well.

  3. One cool thing about Bushie's gaffes, they go over a lot of people's head. Half the population doesn't realize that he made an error.

    Those who do realize what he said are more in awe of the rest of the crowd who missed it. Frankly, the whole schmole is probably a test to see if anyone is listening.

    I'm mean "What the heck?" this is probably the result of Gerald Ford constantly hitting his head or tripping. Bush thought to himself, I can top that.

  7. "If we're going to ask questions about, you know, who has been promulgating negative ads that are completely unrelated to the issues at hand, I think I win that contest pretty handily," Obama said.

    What Obama apparently meant was that McCain, not Obama, has put out more negative ads.

  8. The day that Bush can either pronounce or spell "promulgating" is the day that I vote for McCain for Prez and Bush for KING!

    Could we have some semantics with the word 'nuclear'? Phonetically speaking and such - something two interesting people have in common - one infamously so and the other? Go figure.
