Do you remember Dandy Don Meredith back in the early days of Monday Night Football?

"Turn out the lights, the party's oh-ver."

Stick a fork in McCain. He's done like dinner.

My post from September 30, 2008. Not that it took a rocket scientist to predict it.

RTRHD, I'll expect my bottle of Cabernet now. I'm hearing 2006 Napa Valley was a good year. No rot gut, either.

Hang on folks. This is going to be a very, very bumpy ride.
 
Yea,Yea Gutshot I hear ya. I always pay up. My Pissed OFF meter is just pegged right now. But the Beer did help.


Well, look at the bright side amigo! After January 20th, things in America will be looking UP!

Taxes? UP!

Interest Rates? UP!

Inflation? UP!

Unemployment? UP!

Bankruptcies? UP!

Energy Prices? UP!

Government Employees? UP!

Government Spending? WAY UP!

Deficits? UP!

Terrorism Casualties? UP!

Disarmed Victim Crime Rates? UP!

The Obama camp has already released the catch phrase for their Administration:

We're upping our standards, so up yours!



Democrats run the whole shebang now so no excuses. They'll have at least two and probably four years to get everything they want. Let's all meet back here in four years and compare notes on how that all turned out. M'kay?
 
Alternatve Plan

I have been messing around with the interactive electoral college maps on USAToday and have drawn one inescapable conclusion:

Unless Obama completely melts down in the debates and McCain wipes the floor with him, Barack Obama will be sworn in as President of these Unites States next January.

We all travel around the country and get to read the local papers, talk with the van drivers, overhear the locals at the restaurant, etc. It is clear that the American public wants a clean break. Don't confuse them with the facts.

Most of us understand that an Obama Presidency would be an unmitigated, colossal disaster for the economy (taxes), free speech (so-called Fairness Doctrine), health care (hope you have a Snickers bar while you wait 9 months for your bypass), crime (disarm the victim pool), foreign policy (nuclear Iran, resurgent and aggressive Russia), education (let's throw more money at failed schools), etc. etc.
Regardless, I think Obama will win and it will take just about four years for the country to completely implode. Then maybe we'll elect somebody that will actually return this country to what it was designed to be: A constitutional, representative republic where the federal government's only jobs are to provide for the common defense of the several states and settle disputes between the states. Period.

I have on the Nomex suit. Flame away.

If I were you I would get a PLAN B going,your clients businesses will all get HOSED on NEW BUSINESS TAXES,which will force them to QUIT flying,that means LAY-OFF notices!!
 
It looks like the rich people got what they wanted. If they can raise $700 million for a campaign, then flying on NJs, Flexjet, XOJet, CS or Avaintair is certainly affordable. Hang on for the busy times.
 
Hard to imagine anything worse than the last four years. Actually, make that the last eight years.


except for the war, things were just fine until the mortgage mess of only about 1.5 yrs ago. Which was the fault of the democrats forcing companies to loan mortgages out to po' people.

You may not have to imagine it.

His plans to raise taxes and restrict free trade are very similar to Herbert Hoover's response to the stock market crash and credit crunch that began the Great Depression.

Barack Obama himself had this to say about what to expect:

"What I've said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else's out there. ... So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted." --

Barack Obama in January in an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle -- the Chronicle spiked this part of the interview ++ "Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I'm capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it -- whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers."

Plus recent reports indicate that Iran may have already tested two nuclear weapons. Biden's "test" may be imminent and may not even wait for Obama to take office.

The worst years of the Bush administration were after the Dems took Congress in 2006. Now the Dems are in charge of everything....
 
Which was the fault of the democrats forcing companies to loan mortgages out to po' people.
And pilots who just HAD to have the boat, the new car, the beach house, the city house, the BIGGEST house...oh, and two alimony payments.

When I was on furlough in 01 I was working in real estate law and we processed more than 30 "Jumbo" loans ($400k) a month...that's one a day. Then again we closed nearly 100 closings a day when most only firms did about that in a month!

We weren't closing those loans for the (ahem) "'po' people."

Do you really know what you're talking about or are you just regurgitating what you heard from right wing pundits? The majority of the sub-prime lenders were completely private companies, not Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac.

I'm done fightin'. I'm drinking some beers right now, and will be behind our new president. Yes, I really know what i'm talking about. Didn't mean poor people, just meant it was easier to get loans over the last few years.

Fannie and Freddie didn't lend any money at all. They bought the mortgages from the lenders after they were bundled as securities.
