McCain Says He Can’t Fire SEC Chairman

So why doesn’t he tell that to the other John McCain

This is better than Obama calling AIG as American Insurance Group.
Jack – Liberal
McCain’08

mention the surge and Obama goes into a meltdown. Even 60 minutes couldn’t edit it out.

Obama studdered his way through 60 minutes. He should have used a telepromter.

Obama is full of crap. He couldn’t even answer why he should be President. When did Obama every unite anyone?

“By the way I know he can’t be technically ‘fired,’” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., just Minutes.” “But when I’m president, if I want someone to resign, he resigns.”…
I guess one more thing McLie doesn’t know is that he just said he would carry out a “constructive firing” of a federal employee. That is illegal. Kinf of like what Palin did in Alaska.
Here again – another Repuplican with no respect for the law.
Any by the way, McCain, the SEC head had nothing to do with this. When your presdint launched a $1 Trillion dollar war that we don’t have the money to pay for, the dollar was devalued, energy prices soared, and the nail was put in the coffin of our economy.

Dear Neocons,
Thanks for the Revolution!!
I’d say we owe you one, but I’d be lying.

TO PAUL,
OBAMA WAS “THINKING” AND CHOOSING HIS WORDS CAREFULLY………..UNLIKE MCCAIN WHO JUST OPENS HIS MOUTH AND SPEWS LIES

McCain and Obama are bankrolled by these crooks. The only change is what they are gonna suck outta YOUR pockets! Support these two at your own peril.

Lots of folks should be fired. A few, including those who signed or assisted in preparing or accepting fraudulent loan applications, should be arrested. McCain is on the right track. Might as well start with Cox. Then move on to the members of Congress who aided in the fraud.

Someone should ask Sen McCain when he finally learned he couldn’t fire the SEC chairman – he certainly declared his intentions many times before the 60 minutes interview. Jake, why are you not counting McCain’s gaffes as you are Biden’s? Some of McCain’s make Biden’s pale in comparison.

the only time someone acts so angry is when they know they are losing and have no control over the situation. Like that old song “It’s a fine line between love and hate” In order to have such “HATE” for someone or something there had to have had a deep love for that person or thing in order to show that kind of emotion. think about it all you liberals. McCain/Palin ’08 And as far as McCain’s balls are concerned and it sounds like some seem to be, that’s so sweet! He has and will always have more BALLS then any liberal will ever have or wish they had.

McCain made a gaffe plain and simple. We all know that McCain did lose his cool this week. I got a good example of his personality characteristics when under pressure. He is scary!! For some reason he seemed more rattled??
Obama was much more calm and reserved. Felt more presidential and in control. He was following Washington requests made to both presidential candidates during crisis- don’t say anything. Until report comes out, no comments can actually be. What I was impressed about – make sure help main street + oversight/prevention/curbing CEO/executive payouts + bonuses

I find it interesting the personal bashing done to Obama that goes unchallenged. His deliberate style of talking only speaks to his contemplative personality – in addition, he knows his words will be parsed like no other. If the situation were reversed, and Palin had the Columbia undergrad and Harvard Law Degree, republicans would be furious and enraged that such accomplishments were being denigrated and ignored. To imply he is stupid is just laughable and destroys credibility.

at least mccain was involved in the discussion right from the beginning. obama on the other hand took the safe road and waited until their was a general consensus, embellish on it and then speak up like it was all his idea. this guy is still voting present.
undecided purple person

McCain is showing his true colours. So if this was an issue with another country he would have sent the US troops to attack before realizing he shouldn’t have done that?? That’s not leadership. McCain I am sure is loosing his senses. He needs to get an MRI done on his brain before it is too late.

What John McCain did -
“Two years ago, I called for reform of this corruption at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Congress did nothing. The Administration did nothing. Senator Obama did nothing, and actually profited from this system of abuse and scandal. While Fannie and Freddie were working to keep Congress away from their house of cards, Senator Obama was taking their money. He got more, in fact, than any other member of Congress, except for the Democratic chairmen of the committee that oversees them. And while Fannie Mae was betraying the public trust, somehow its former CEO had managed to gain my opponent’s trust to the point that Senator Obama actually put him in charge of his vice presidential search.” – McCain

What Obama did-
NOTHING

ABC
Wow, those of you who missed George S. this morning on ABC just got to review the link to the roundtable at this link:
http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/

yea NOW McCain knows.
When he said it, he didn’t.
As he didn’t even say the “SEC Chairman” for he spoke about the “FEC Chairman”.
LOL
He’s George W.’s senile uncle.
Plus, he’s the most boring presidential candidate I’ve seen in decades. What a horrible speaker.
A loser, pushed forward in this race by powerful lobbyists.

risky response to you, sarah left the church you mentioned 6 years ago. unlike obama boy who left wrights church just a few months ago and only after he realized the political risk.

First impression McCain really thought he could fire SEC chairman Chris Cox.
Second impression – Schmidt/Rove spin coming out of McCain in a attempt to cover for first impression so this race is Obama/Biden vs McCain/Bush.

nat turner So funny to see that all the cynics have left is to still whine about SARAH’s CHURCH of 6 years ago.
nat you have been using this same old boring bb moving train line for about a year now. do you not have any original thoughts beyond insults?

But does Obama know that he can hire that SEC CEO?

THE SKY IS FALLING THE SKY IS FALLING

underdog i only mentioned wright in response to a comment (by another poster) about sarahs church of 6 years ago. so it is ok to critique sarahs past church attendance but not obamas wright association? no, i don’t think so. your double standards are old and will not work like they did on hillary. not this time.
also about your comment implying palin is racist her husband is inuit indian, so her children are part native american, real racist eh!

If you want to get into the amount of money taken from Freddie and Fannie, then also say McCain took $6.2 million as well…Because he did!!
Also he took more from oil lobbyists then all the money that Obama is said to have taken from Fannie and Freddie.
I think that’s a wash.

Save the banks not the welching deadbeats and over compensated executives. I approve regulating executive compensation since they are equally responsible as the welching deadbeats for this mess. the executives made the loans to the welching deadbeats so while we can bailout the banks we don’t have to bailout executives and welching deadbeats….

Both Obama and Biden are on the ropes. Biden is so shook up about having to debate Sarah that he asked a crippled man to stand up at a rally. What an embarrassment to the nation. Biden later wanted to give up to Hillary and let her be the veep. He is scared to death and it shows. Obama can’t get it out of his head. Listen to him…um…err…uh….um….err….uh…um…..err…..uh……um ……err……uh…..um……um……uh…..er….. This is how a chosen one speaks??? I’m sure it will clear after he parts the water and heals the earth.

Apparently Palin didn’t have ANYTHING of ANY interest to say to her buddy sean Hannity.
Or else we would have heard about it.
The polls show that she now is the candidate with the worst favorability rating in this race.
In November everyone will agree: Palin has been the major mistake of McCain campaign. She’s a liability already, with independents in Florida and elsewhere flocking to Obama.
Don’t blame her, blame McCain for a cynical choice, cynical politics.

“Just as my running mate has shown in Alaska, it doesn’t matter if I have the legal authority or not. The laws do not apply to us. We are the deciders.”

Obama doesn’t quite pull off the tough act. Remember how Khomeini made a fool out of Carter with the hostages in the American Embassy in Tehran and Castro made a fool out of Carter with the Mariel boatlift? Barry has a bigger Kick Me sign on his T-Shirt than Carter did.

McCain lobbiest had to wishper in his ear, “No you can not fire him.” McCain looks at his Tycoon cronies, and whispers back, “Are you sure?” “Yes. We are sure”. McCain stops to think about it,”but Palin said God has given me the power”. His lobbiest remind him that Palin also believes god abandoned her at the beauty pagent, and that god gave her the power to start war. McCain thinks about it a little longer. “I’m screwed aren’t I”? His lobbiests whisper,”Just say what we want, and we will try to save our…er…your campaign”. McCain says, “Sounds good to me. When I’m president, if I want someone to resign, he resigns. I have Todd Palin on my side”.

Underdog | Sep 21, 2008 10:21:35 PM you are correct about my statement regarding inuit/native american issue.
thank you.
again i could care less about rev wright. i only respond to that issue when sarahs church of 6 years ago is used as an attack against her.
undecided purple person who will always believe that hillary was the best candidate and will wait until the debates to make up my mind.

Um, well uh, I don’t think, uh, maybe if I had my uh, teleprompter, uh, perhaps then, uh I might be able to answer, uh,
what was the question again?
Obama says the strangest things without one. 57 states here we come!

ice, You forget. One of the FEW pieces of legislation Obama sponsored was to require the US achieve a 50% reduction in WORLDWIDE poverty by 2015!
See, that way the gov will pick up the tab and he won’t have to give any of his OWN money to help others.
Kind of like the speeches he gave asking people to give money to support Katrina victims, only to find via his tax returns he and Michelle didn’t give a dime of their own.

How do we know he did nothing for his half brother?
You have proof he talked to him, but no proof what he might have done.
Silent charities are called that because they are silent.
Some people do things for others quietly because they don’t need faint praise.
They just feel good inside.
We can all agree to disagree when it come to politics and that is a good thing, how boring this nation would be if we all agreed and thought the same.
And these blogs would not be needed.
See how lucky we are.
I just have hope, what else can we have.

Now the truth of Both McCain and Obamas camps, are guilty of taking money from Fannie Mae, it just goes to prove that, both parties have issues cross talking. McCains oil Tycoons can raise oil prices, and make a killing, at the American peoples expense, if the bailout is stopped. How? Because they can conduct ‘corprate takeovers’, to the energy companies, that have morgages. Many Tycoons lobbying for McCain are looking to make Billions off of this issue. Almost as if someone on the inside deregulated on purpose, for a future gain. McCains little whisper of ‘it may fall’, was also followed by a ‘maybe not’. That is why both parties, thought he was just going senile again. Remember America, he has an issue of writting proposals, and then voting against them. That is his ‘Mavrick’ way of gambling, at the expense of American lives.

It’s clear as day.
JM doesn’t stand a chance. I don’t see HOW he could possibly win. If he gets 30-40% of the vote he’ll be lucky.
Obama has it in the bag.
No need anymore to use the scare tactics like JM will cut social security benefits in half, launch a new war with Russia or never remove any troops from Iraq.
No need anymore to call all those who don’t vote for Obama as racists or the personal attacks on JM and Palin such as how out of touch JM is because he can’t use a keyboard to email anyone due to beatings he received as a pow.
No need to try to think of SOMETHING Obama might have done to justify his lack of experience or need to explain what Obama did do in Chicago.
Obama and his fans can all rest easy now.

historyforgotten, perhaps you can help. How much money that Fannie Mae gave to the top 20 people went to Democrats vs Republicans?
Or if you know the top 30?
Or perhaps the top 10?
Wasn’t Obama number 2 on the list?
Did JM even make the top 30?

Cindy McCain has TWO half-sisters (along with 7 houses and 13 cars) that she pretends don’t even exist. She tells people she’s an only child.
Maybe she’s the one who scored the loot.
ANOTHER DISHONEST REPUB LIAR.
REPUBLICANS ARE UNTRUSTWORTHY.

OBAMA/BIDEN – ACCEPT THE INEVITABLE DEFEAT

I saw the roundtable, too. They are rooting for Obama. I thought Obama was sweating! He looked nervous. McCain came out first with a solution. I am not saying he knows the answer, but at least he made an effort. Obama’s superior team cannot come with an answer because they were “sleeping at the switch” I guess. I thought McCain was the cool and level headed one. He was bold, when he suggested in firing that guy. He basically wanted to that he would be tough and assure accountability.

I think Obama acted more like a “thug” when he was stomping at some state where he was slandering McCain about how he does not get it. Obama was use his hand gestures like he was swimming or waving like a rapper would do.

O is crumbling fast!
In the speech, Obama says: “What they’ll say is, ‘Well it costs too much money,’ but you know what? It would cost, about… It — it — it would cost about the same as what we would spend… It… Over the course of 10 years it would cost what it would costs us… (nervous laugh) All right. Okay. We’re going to… It… It would cost us about the same as it would cost for about — hold on one second. I can’t hear myself. But I’m glad you’re fired up, though. I’m glad.”

Nat Turner, you are using the “race card”, since you thought that I mentioned the word rapper. Not all rappers are black!! Since Obama got in the Senate, he was all about money! He got money from oil companies, too.

“The truth is most Americans don’t want much. Folks don’t want the whole pie. Most Americans feel blessed to thrive a little bit, but that’s out of reach for them. The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.” -Michelle Obama
Said a little more concisely… “Wealth is within the reach of the masses simply through the process of appropriation.” -Che Guevara

Nat, Nat, Nat,
Obama is just a suit like you. Obama need a script to tell him what to say. Just watch, McCain will have Obama pick his jaw off the floor this Friday in the debate!

“Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.” -Karl Marx
“It’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” -Barack Obama

John McCain is full of baloney. He made so many contradictory statements this week, it’s hard to count them all – but one thing I do know for sure. This economy is in serious trouble, and I do not want Phil Gramm, who last month said there was nothing wrong – it was all a “mental problem” as a top advisor to the next President. The man is responsible for deregulation and he is the one John McCain turns to for economic advice. McCain is looking and sounding worse every day.

Dave in lv, even as I stand as a Republican, “drill baby drill”, is more like an Oil companies logo. Band-aids do not fix a broken arm. Only in Alaska.
As for Obamas Oil drilling, he pushes for a varity of energies, that help, when one fails, the others pick up the slack. McCains idea of “If Oil fails us again, we are doomed”, just does not make collage level sense. Even high schoolers understand, to diversify in Energy forms.

Wikipedea-In political theory, Democracy describes a small number of related forms of government and also a political philosophy. Even though there is no universally accepted definition of ‘democracy’,[3] there are two principles that any definition of democracy include. The first principle is that all members of the society have equal access to power and the second that all members enjoy universally recognized freedoms and liberties.
Yep, sounds like Obamas ideas of universally recognized freedoms and liberties. Amazing, that people forget wht Democracy is, when McCains Tycoons are talking.

FEDERAL HOUSING ENTERPRISE REGULATORY REFORM ACT OF 2005
The United States Senate
May 25, 2006
Section 16
…For years I have been concerned about the regulatory structure that governs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac–known as Government-sponsored entities or GSEs–and the sheer magnitude of these companies and the role they play in the housing market. OFHEO’s report this week does nothing to ease these concerns. In fact, the report does quite the contrary. OFHEO’s report solidifies my view that the GSEs need to be reformed without delay.
I join as a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole.
I urge my colleagues to support swift action on this GSE reform legislation.
Sen. McCain [R-AZ]

Of everyone, I would think the real pressure must be on Biden- BTW, has he been kidnapped. Oh that’s right, when you’ve been a plagiarist for 20 years it takes you a bit more time to prepare your OWN answers in a debate. Palin will rip his ignorant head off and hand it to McCain so he can kick it all the way to Chicago.

ice, have you not heard the reports of him telling some Democrates and Republicans, he could be wrong. He even asked some to vote against it in hopes to make himself look good, if it does go under. That’s how a Corporate Take-Over is most effective. The inside man(McCain), is lobbied to deregulate a business like Fannie Mae, then when the morgage company fails, Tycoons come in and buy up all the property. Follow the FULL paper trail. It still existed as of eight months ago. Interesting, how McCain was on both sides, of the issue.

Posted by David Roberts at 11:54 AM on 08 Oct 2007, It’s pretty long so google “Obama energy fact sheet”, from 2007.
Sorry ice, but McCain has only recently updated is ‘Greener energy’ ideas mid 2008, because America wanted more than his Oil, and Natural Gas Energy. He also brought on coal, even though he was against, the mining part of it. Now he flip flops, for a working America.

John McCain knows to promise are cheap. But Americans are feed up .Enough!!!
The Republican Party in the need of urgent reform because is out of touch with the everyday life of the American people.
Americans want answers to they problems they want better healthcare they want better pay they don’t want just change because that sounds good on election time, they want change from the Bush policies.

Wasn’t JM #32 on the receiving list vs #2 for Obama?
McCains ‘in and out’ investments granted him over 300,000 dollars our the last two years.
Didn’t JM actually propose a bill in 2005 limiting Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac?
Yes. Had he also told both Republicans and Democrates, he could be wrong after the speech. No Investigation was followed up afetwards.
Didn’t the Dems not only kill it but push through bills granting them ADDITIONAL abilities to take on riskier loans?
Both Republicans and Democrates were assured by McCains Deregulations, that Fannie Mae and other Oil Companies needed more riskier investments, to gain a better return. The Tycoons have money ready to buy up the morgages of the other Energy Companies if McCain wins. His council members ARE the Tycoons. Research each of them.
Although Obama gave speeches, did he actually propose any bill limiting Fanny Mae or Freddie Mac?
Obama was not privy to all inside dealinds of corporate buy outs. So he opted to remain silent until he recieved more facts. Too late I agree, but this is how coruption has taken the Transparency, away from Congress.
Its funny how McCain/Palin are for transparency in words, but their paper trails speeks louder, against it.

Dave in lv, He is in fact in disagreement, with improperly safe mining after the deaths from cave ins. His proposals for nuclear and coal mining, are for better safty messures to be placed. He does not wanted to cast out coal production, but limit the strip-mining effects, on the enviorment. Is he an enviormentalist. 80% yes, 20% no. He wants to limit enviormental harming energies. He has tried to look at both sides without quick judgement. I do not acrgee will all his policies, but he has a more thoughtful idea, of a Free America than McCain. If both candidates got rid of their staff. Obama has the grassroots experience, of what the middle and lower classes want. McCain only has upper class experience, on making money. Life is about more than just money. So right now I am for Obama.

In the long term, Yes , Obama is for a carbon free emissions form of energy. Most future, looking policies, should accept this view. Even if Oil and Coal lasts for another 200 years, then what? Why not start now, for a better future for not just America, but the world.

latest numbers to produce energy I found were:
solar: $0.45/kw
coal: $0.025/kw
nuclear $0.015/kw to operate
$0.030/kw with decomissioning+fixed costs
oil $0.07/kw
gas $0.05/kw
wind $0.10/kw
Most people would like solar if the cost was reduced by 90%. If all goes well the best subsidized cost in the future would be to cut it by 60-70% in 10-25 years from now.
Even with today’s oil costs, it is far cheaper than photovoltaic.

re:Post by: historyforgotten | Sep 22, 2008 1:29:08 AM
Good idea. Only both Obama and JM would invest the same amount in the same technologies. There isn’t any difference between them when it comes to developing new technologies.
Only JM will invest in others that are proven to not only work today but are economicly feasable as well,

What are the top 2 carbon free emissions?
Answer: Solar and wind.
What happens when the sun goes down and the wind dies down as well?
1/3 of gasoline consumption goes towards the big rigs for freight to move our goods. If we continue to not drill for oil what will they use?

What happens when the sun goes down and the wind dies down as well? Batteries store this energy, to use with oil and other energy forms, still lowering your Oil energy use. Believe me when I say, the Local sewage plant, has discussed this with engineers for the last four years.

Oops, sorry for the double post.
Batteries have been found to be inefficient and costly over the long run. The cheap ones will last only 2 years with heavy use and the newer lithium batteries are expected to last 2-6 times longer but cost 10 times more.
Utilities, car companies and others are trying to develop better battery technologies. Nothing on the immediate horizon is visible.

Utilities, car companies and others are trying to develop better battery technologies. Nothing on the immediate horizon is visible.
Because oil companies, are slowing down other technologies. They will lose money, if other sources become too available. There are still designers, who seek funding, from Obama and even some Republicans, to continue their techs. They have yet to ask McCain.

re Donations,
What were Obama’s donations prior to his presidential run? Wasn’t it close to zip?
Doesn’t Biden earn $250-350K per year and give to charities a grand total of $120-995 per year? Is there anyone more Scrooge like? Or should I say frugal or tight or …
Didn’t Obama give several speeches recommending we give our money to Katrina victims only to find via tax returns he and Michelle didn’t give a dime?

Margo,
After meeting with his advisors, Obama said he will give his position on the economic problems “some time in the future”.
His “thoughtful” expressions are bereft of any plan or action although he did mention some mom and apple pie goals.
I’m glad you liked them.
Best wishes

Obama and McCain Tax Proposals:
According to a new analysis by the Tax Policy Center, a joint project of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution,…
Obama’s plan gives the biggest cuts to those who make the least, …
while McCain would give the largest cuts to the very wealthy.

I have heard Woodrow Wilson, Calvin Coolidge and Teddy Roosevelt all had the same or less experience than Palin.
Didn’t they turn out ok?
Isn’t Teddy on Mt Rushmore?
Didn’t I also read the WSJ and Investors Business Daily both lampooning Obama’s and Biden’s well thought out and intelligent plans? I forgot what words they used to describe them but they were not flattering.

Don’t you just love it how the Republicans are running from their party leaders Bush & Cheney and the rest of the ‘mission accomplished’ crew.
Bush and his boys run the country for 7 years, and when things fall apart and their policies are exposed for the frauds they are, Republicans, suddenly are afraid to admit they’re, Republicans .

re: ‘If all goes well the best subsidized cost in the future would be to cut it by 60-70% in 10-25 years from now.’
but McCain says the ‘fundamentals’ of America, are the greatest in the world, how could it possible take so long?

“But when I’m president, if I want someone to resign, he resigns.”
WHAT does he mean?? Blackmail? I thought PRECISELY the reason why the president is not given the power to just fire anyone he likes-like the SEC chairman- plus the balancing of the Legislative and Judiciary with Executive (The President’s administration) was to PREVENT ABUSE of power? And he says as long as he says it the person will resign? Er…this is reminding me of Mugabe or someone.

Technological breakthroughs are not guaranteed. There isn’t any scientific literature I’ve seen that said solar cost reductions of that magnitude are possible.

I think that she should not being trying to stall the investigation, because the committee IS bi-partisan. When they were voting to even open the investigation, the vote was 12-0 in favour of investigating- and there were plenty of Republican Senators too, mind you.
It’s just that from what I’ve read that she has been firing her whole board in Alaska and then replacing them with her friends and stuff, that’s led me to believe she may have something to hide.

I am also not aware of anyone being able to turn lead into gold……………………..THEY CAN

OK you can turn lead into gold. Now see if you can do it for 10 cents a pound.

Do you remember the “gang of 14″ that broke the deadlock of judicial appointees a few years back?
This was a bipartisan group that would work together to get the job done.
re Palin, you really must be kidding. What has Obama to hide with the Annenburg files? Why are Obama’s team trying to shut down the investigation? Why is Obama’s team flooding a radio station multiple times and not even allowing an investigator to speak? What is he afraid of? America want to know what he is hiding! Where is your indignation for not allowing all the facts to come out?
Wouldn’t it be better to know now than having to impeach a President? Isn’t the top of the ticket more important than the bottom of the ticket?
Can we get your bipartisan support to FULLY investigates these files ASAP?

Annenburg files? I will look into this myself. But if Palin can hide from Alaska, why can’t Obama hide from Annenburg? I say we expose both.

Annenberg files? Interesting to know that the Department of Justice, had McCain shut down the ads, as ‘untrue’. Unless the Department of Justice, is working for Obama, then I could see a bigger issue. No more comments have come from McCains camp, when asked if he still agreed the ads were true. No Comment, from McCains advisors? Curious indeed.

-Anyone who wants to pay 25 times more for electricity than they have to, knock yourself out. Go for it. Pay whatever you want to.-
Our soon to be updated sewer plant will, save 60% on its electric use. That means I can pay less in taxes to keep it running. The mainance cost will be lowered by 18%. Sounds like a better deal. And the Solar panels on my parents house has reduced energy use by 16% so far for each of the last two years. Yea, sounds better than McCain.

Her high school friends, do not count for all Alaska.

Sarah Palin has a high approval rating in Alaska because of her great job as an executive Governor.
I don’t know about Nobama. He had an executive experience though like the one in ANNENBERG PROJECT whom he wasted millions of dollars and failed miserably. Google “ANNEBERG PROJECT AND OBAMA” and you will know what I mean.

Eight years in the State Senate Obama has accomplished reforming state ethics rules and capital punishment. He did promote early-childhood initiatives that advocates considered “innovative and progressive,” said Betsy D. Mitchell. And Palin did what in her eight years in a State Senate? You can not compare Palin to Obama. Palins record shows Major debt and crime. Schools that have little funding and a Police Force underfunded to keep up with crime. Sure, she has a gym that few visit. But Wasila has a Large debt to pay for it. Her road to no-where was completed earlier this year, but no bridge to connect to. The drainage system in Wasila and other towns were overlooked. Now the mayors and representivies are asking what to do. Does she have answers for them? No. She was just a bad choice for VP. That is one reason I turned from the Republican ticket this year.

Palin urges halt to proposal to use old platforms for fish farming
By Margaret Bauman
Alaska Journal of Commerce
Gov. Sarah Palin voiced objections Sept. 12 to a federal government’s proposal that would allow decommissioned oil and gas platforms in federal waters to be used for fish farming and other forms of aquaculture.
But McCain says fish like oil platforms.

The reason Palin’s approval rating is so high was that the poll was conducted among civil servants whom Palin gave jobs to.

I’m glad McCain knows he was wrong to say the President should fire the head of the SEC. Add that to other things he has admited he was wrong on: Bailing out Bear Stearns, bailing out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, hiring lobbytists with conflict of interest on his campaign, letting Phil Gramm speak for him, offshore drilling, immigratiuon, MLK holiday, confederate flag, first wife, nasty jokes about Chelsea Clinton…….

If he knew he couldn’t fire the head of the SEC, why did he say he was going to fire him to begin with. One day later, he said he was going to fire the head of the FEC (Federal Elections Commission).
Cleaning up after this guy must be a helluva job. Sometimes, I almost feel sorry for that poor Tucker the Mouthpiece.

These reckless actions by

recent weeks on the shares
financial and insurance

How should any elected person react to an investigation?
1. Make sure the public documents taht are needed to prove your guilt or innocence are removed from public viewing.
2. Demonize the investigator.
3. Do not allow the investigator to speak on the radio. Ask your followers to shut swamp the station and not allow any discussion of the facts.
4. Repeat step 3 whenever investigator is scheduled to speak.
5. Do not respond to any items the investigator finds, just demonize the investigator.
6. If an ad is placed that is unfavorable ask the Justice Dept to launch an investigation into the group.
7. If Justice declines, add a second Justice Dept request to not only investigate the group but to also charge all of the groups donors as well.
8. Hopefully the Justice Dept will soon report to you and any who didn’t do as you requested will pay a price.
Do not allow free speech if it is negative.
Google “Obama Annenberg” and you will find all of the above taking place.
