So while Tucker Bounds (top scumbag liar for McCain) tries to spin shit about Phil Gramm and avoids answering a direct question....

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6MjzIxJsRTo&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6MjzIxJsRTo&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

OBAMA ACTUALLY LAYS OUT A PLAN!

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dZH_19Oa5gg&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dZH_19Oa5gg&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

In case you don't want to watch the entire clip, part of what Obama said:


  First, there must be no blank check when American taxpayers are on the hook for this much money.

Second, taxpayers shouldn't be spending a dime to reward CEOs on Wall Street.

Third, taxpayers should be protected and should be able to recoup this investment.

Fourth, this plan has to help homeowners stay in their homes.

Fifth, this is a global crisis, and the United States must insist that other nations join us in helping secure the financial markets.

Sixth, we need to start putting in place the rules of the road I've been calling for for years to prevent this from ever happening again.

And finally, this plan can't just be a plan for Wall Street, it has to be a plan for Main Street.



Same shit different day eh?

I find that everything that McCain has accused Obama of is pretty much a reflection of what he is lacking and his motives in this campaign. I am not sure why no one has really called him on it.

How the hell does Tucker Bounds get to keep his job when he goes on TV and embarrasses himself and the campaign he is representing like that?

There is an upcoming federal election in Canada but I find this one much more entertaining!

Love the posts k2o4! Keep it up.

Raise me and die.

huh no FU, why in the world would my taxes paid in Canada is spent to help US ? That's not happening. I mean, i'd gladly make a donation if it was like a natural disastre or something but in this case, this is not my fucking business wtf.

Odds are exactly 50%, either happens or it doesnt

That one I'd need more details on - I didn't take it as "sheitan bails out americans with his tax dollars". I think he's making the point of how the world's gotten smaller, we're all more connected than before, and american market crashes affect people all over the world. So we should find ways to fix this together. I'm no economic expert, but I'm betting there's things that other countries can do to help out right now other than a bailout. personally I'm not a big fan of adding 7k worth of tax burden to me to bail out these companies, but at the same time I see how horrible it is for the regular people who had money just disappear (life savings and so on). The main thing this does is REALLY piss me off at all the deregulating bastards who got us into this mess =

only 7% of Americans agree with the bail out, 65% want these institutions to file for bankruptcy. too bad none of this matters, and we're going to have another patriot act-esque situations where loads of regulatory powers are granted to the treasury and fed so they can "save" us

As far as a bail out I want this bastards to go broke, but I don't want regular folks who had life savings there to be screwed either, so any sorta bailout should basically leave the CEO's broke and only help people who got screwed. The CEO's were the idiots who took the risks. I guess you can argue that the people who had money there also were stupid for taking the risk, but I know I keep my money @ Chase bank and if it suddenly went broke I'd be blindsided.
