Biden: McCain’s Economic Answers Are a ‘Bridge to Nowhere’

Obama’s Grand Plan makes twelve promises – none of them have anything to do with Wall Street, investment banking or the general financial crisis. Instead, the much vaunted Plan just offers the chewed Wonder Bread of previous Obama plans like “enacting a windfall profits tax on excessive oil company profits to give American families an immediate $1,000 emergency energy rebate to help families pay rising bills.”
But the Plan, like virtually everything that spins out of the Hope/Change vortex, lacks seriousness. I especially liked Obama’s pledge to “create 5 million green jobs.” That’s just the kind of Stalinist hard-headed realism we need during challenging times like these!
Reading the Obama Plan, which his serious commercial treats as a serious blueprint, it becomes painfully obvious that Barack Obama has nothing constructive to say about this week’s events. But maybe I’m jumping the gun. Perhaps his campaign will complete its polling and Obama will soon know whether he approves or disapproves of the AIG bailout.

Despite Death Threats Further Info From Journalist Who Exposed Obama’s Double-Dealing re: Troop Withdrawal
“While I am encouraged by the senator’s evolution, I must also appeal to him to issue a “cease and desist” plea to the battalions of his sympathizers – who have been threatening me with death and worse in the days since my article appeared. – Amer Taheri
IN Monday’s Post, I discussed how Barack Obama, during his July trip, had asked Iraqi leaders not to finalize an agreement vital to the future of US forces in Iraq – and how the effect of such a delay would be to postpone the departure of the US from Iraq beyond the time Obama himself calls for.

The Obama campaign has said this is just silly! Silly Obuma is just so silly huh? Crime a silly crime!

“Those same Congressional leaders who give Senator Obama his marching orders are now saying that this mess isn’t their fault”
This mess isn’t their fault. They are the fault of the party that has controlled Congress the last 18 of 20 years and the Presidency for 8. Republicans were in power and they were the ones the set policy of de-regulation. The only blame that can be blamed on Democrats is they perhaps didn’t try hard enough to stop the policy. They did on occassion and were labeled obstructionists. You can’t have both ways. Republicans were in power and are responsible for what happens under their watch as a result of their leadership. The Republican tries to shirk this responsibility. I can’t say I blame them given the current state of affairs.

morons do not connect the dots
Mccain and Keating and deregulation
=trillion dollars from us.
Mccain and Gramm and deregulation
= trillion dollar buyout from us again
= his entire economic platform
= despair
throw this bum out …and don’t be stupid
who does not look at a candidate who was at the center of both deregulation slime and fiascos…surrounds himself with the people who tried to pull it over on the nation
and thinks he would be the good guy to take care of it.

My you Republicans(?) have gone over the deep edge.
I don’t think I have ever heard such rantings before. Talk about Conspiracies, This stuff is far out there that only a kook would write it.

“Big Brother had nothing on the Obamas. They plan to herd American youth into government-funded reeducation camps where they’ll be brainwashed into thinking America is a racist, oppressive place in need of ’social change.’”
A mind is a terrible thing to waste…on a Republican.

BIDEN IS THE ONE WHO GIVES LESS THAN ONE PERCENT OF HIS SIX FIGURE INCOME TO CHARITY
WHO IS OUT OF TOUCH ? BIDEN
AND OBAMA WAS NEVER IN TOUCH – JUST A PAWN FOR THE EXTREME RADICAL LEFT
LIES OF OBAMA;
LIE NUMBER ONE – BREAKING PLEDGE TO FINANCE CAMPAIGN ETHICALLY
LIE NUMBER TWO – TYING MCCAIN TO BUSH AFTER DEMOCRATS HAVE APPLAUDED MCCAIN FOR YEARS AS BEING DIFFERENT THAN BUSH
LIE NUMBER THREE – TAX CUTS FOR 95% OF AMERICA – OVER 30 PERCENT OF AMERICANS ARE NOT PAYING FEDERAL INCOME TAX, SO THIS IS A MATHEMATICAL IMPOSSIBILITY
LIE NUMBER FOUR – SARAH IS A FRAUD – THE FACT THAT SARAH HAS MADE SOME REFORMS IN ALASKA IS INDISPUTABLE
LIE NUMBER FIVE – I WILL BRING NON-PARTISANSHIP BACK TO WASHINGTON (BY PICKING THE MOST PARTISAN SENATOR AS YOUR RUNNING MATE AND BY TAKING ON YOUR OWN PARTY ZERO TIMES)
LIE NUMBER SIX – THE SEX ED IN KINDERGARTEN BILL WAS ALL ABOUT PREDATOR PROTECTION AND NOTHING ELSE – SIMPLY NOT TRUE – GO READ IT YOURSELF
LIE NUMBER SEVEN – I RESPECT THE DIGNITY OF HUMAN LIFE – RRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT – YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT BABIES BORN ALIVE DIE IF THEIR MOM WANTED IT THAT WAY – DISGUSTING
I COULD GO ON – BUT LIE NUMBER ONE (OR 7) WAS BY ITSELF ENOUGH TO TURN THIS INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN
how can you tell when obama is lying ??
answer
his lips are moving

I am tired of Obama pointing his effete fingers at everyone, particulary as his comments don’t speak to the problem, and his solutions are his usual tripe…it will go away when I am elected because I am going to do this…and I am going to do that….I I I I I I……does this man have any concept of the fact that we have 3 branches of government, and the I I I I I doesn’t always work. … or is he so busy trying to make us all “citizens of the world” (barf), that he could care less about American democracy??? You gotta wonder…..

STOP SARAH PALIN!!

Repubs getting desperate- why don’t you, and McCain, just discuss the issues? Oh yeah, because you have no platform and no real plans for reform. I guess all you have left is more and more desperate lies.

I am older than mccain, but I still have enough of my faculties to remember how many houses I own. I also DO NOT think 5million is the break point for middle class.
I donot think we need someone who wants to ban books like TOY SAWYER AND HUCK FINN in a high office in this country!

Man, McCain trolls gone wild here.
1. Obama made his campaign pledge to do public financing under the assumption that John McCain was trustworthy to hold up his end. When John McCain broke campaign law during the primaries, he became untrustworthy, and Obama could not expect a fair dealing with him on campaign finance.
2. Obama is not the biggest liar in the history of politics. That would probably be someone like Hitler, or Franco, or Stalin. They had departments of propoganda the entire time they were around. Hitler’s lies killed 7 million people. Evidence recently would also support that McCain lies more frequently than Bush, and Bush was quite a liar. Bush lies more than Obama.
3. Both campaigns have bent the truth, only McCain has told out-right lies, and he has been called out by conservatives on it. See Karl Rove, Krauthammer, and Brooks, as well as every media outlet.
4. Obama worked on reform as soon as he got into Congress; bi-partisan ethics reform. He has reached across the aisle to Chuck Hagel, and at least for a little while, to John McCain.
5. McCain hasn’t made a single proposal on how to fix the economy. He has only spewed platitudes like “I will end greed,” “I will reform Washington.”
It seems to me that John McCain has had 26 years to enact reforms. All he put out there was a campaign finance reform act that failed, opening the door to 527 groups like “Swift Boat Veterans” and “Moveon.org.”
He has consistently favored deregulation, which is the center of this problem. We have had crises whenever such massive deregulation has occurred. Remember Enron and Worldcom?
If all you have is personal attacks, Republicans, you had better come up with some real policy proposals, because this year is not 2004, and you will not win with a “I’m more like you” campaign.

Both sides work for Wall Street and we just did a real big act of socialism by bailing these crooks out. Why is socialism ok here but not elsehwere? The United States of Wall Street is falling down. Falling currency = falling country. And McSame was a Keating 5 Senator and a Phil Gramm chearleader

Fact: Obama’s Campaign Finance Chair is Penny Pritzker, who headed the failed Superior Bank that collapsed in 2002. The bank had a major role in fueling the sub-prime crisis with deceptive,faulty lending, and hidden fees.
Google her and you find interesting information about her connection with Obama. The Huffington Post also had an article written by Earl Ofari Hutchinson on Feb. 29, 2008 pointing out a “…teary-eyed photo op moment during one of Obama’s Texas campaign swings…….lambasting the CEO of a sub-prime lender for greedily snatching at a $100 million buy out package….”
How about his own campaign finance chair?

Earlier this week, Obama made an early attempt to attack Governor Sarah Palin on the earmark issue. He claimed that Palin is responsible for taking many earmarked funds for her state as she sat in the Governor’s office in Juneau and that her attack on him for earmarks is, therefore, illegitimate.
“I know the governor of Alaska has been, you know, saying she is change and that is great. She is a skillful politician. But when you been taking all these earmarks when it is convenient and then suddenly you are the champion anti-earmark person. That is not change, come on. I mean, words mean something. You can’t just make stuff up. You can’t just make stuff up. We have a choice to make and the choice is clear.”
But, this return fire on Palin’s ridiculing of Obama for his many earmarks is not very effective. While Obama is pointing fingers at Palin, news came out this week that Senator Obama had unsuccessfully tried several times to get multi-million dollar earmarks for one of his biggest Chicago contributors. So, his attack on Palin seems more like smokescreen than cruise missile.
Obama twice attempted to direct more than $3 million dollars in taxpayer funds to the Adler Planetarium Museum in Chicago. It just so happens that the Adler’s chairman is one of Barack’s biggest Chicago fundraisers.
The planetarium’s chairman, then and still, is Frank Clark, chief executive of ComEd, a unit of Chicago-based Exelon Energy. He has pledged to raise more than $200,000 for Mr. Obama’s run for the White House.
Even more cozy, this earmark would have benefited a Joe Biden supporter.
Moreover, the Adler Planetarium is represented by the lobbying firm National Group LLP, co-founded by William Oldaker, who helped launch Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s political action committee in 2005. Mr. Oldaker, a partner with the Delaware Democrat’s son in another Washington lobbying and law firm, is no longer involved with Mr. Biden’s PAC, Unite Our States.
On the other hand, it must be pointed out that taking earmarked funds that someone else arranged for is a little different than actually being the one creating the diversion of funds. Obama criticizes Palin for taking funds that Congress offered her, but Obama is responsible for being one doing the offering.
Palin’s record on reform is clear, of course. But, Obama’s record on over spending is also clear. His finger pointing is hollow rhetoric.

It is NOT raising taxes, its removing the Bush Tax Cuts for the Rich and restoring old policy. Greedy republicrites are ruining this Nation.
McCain-Keating Palin-Cheney “bad for the Economy bad for Polar Bears!!
