I didn't waste my time

I didn't waste my time watching it. The only interest I have in it is if the sheeple will buy the BS. Time will tell.

Bush "My Base"

When you watch his speech, think about what he said in this video:

That was a joke

The speech where he says that was a fundraiser where the speakers make fun of themselves. I'm no Bush supporter, but using that against him is below the belt.

Mehta disputes Schvenzlerman Analysis of Bush Speech

From Bloomberg:

"In a raw display of contempt for the Bush administration's flawed bailout plan, Wall Street guru Mehta's attorneys threaten SEC investigation against Schvenzlerman for optimistic analysis of Bush's speech. A press release from a Mehta spokesperson:

"Schvenzlerman's analysis of the speech was verbose, insipid and a naked attempt to bolster the capital markets. What Bush said boils down to 'Pass it now, or Bernanke will just pull massive amounts of liquidity from the market and crash your 401(k) plans."

That is the best I have ever

heard Bush speak.....because he was reading what was prepared by a team of speech writers.

I wonder how many times he read through that script???

You were watching a Robot Puppet!

Couple Additional Points

The more I think about what the President, the more I just have to laugh.

In order to pull this plan together, he has called together the great economic minds of.... Obama and McCain. At least he could have pulled together people like Steve Forbes, Warren Buffet, and Bloomberg. Shoot, give Mitt Romney a call. Oh, and then there is a that representative who has been predicting these events for years.... But, of course, if he did then they might actually come up with an alternate solution.

Then he says what may happen if we don't. We will lose our ability to borrow money -- is this a bad thing? We might go into a "serious recession" -- I thought we were already there.

Argh! How can the mainstream people take this -- even at face value? For those of us who really understand what is going on, this is diabolical, but even for the ignorant, can't they see how ludicrous the administration is? Are there no other options than to follow the President's lead on this? Why are no other options presented?

I know the answer... but I wish more people would start asking these questions.

How about this ...

I called and suggested that the bank OWNERS sell off their personal assets to keep these banks solvent.

I do believe the Rockefellers (Chase) and their cronies have assets far in excess of the $700,000,000,000. Aren't they the original oil and pharmaceutical tycoons? Don't they have lots and lots of foundation money which they pay no taxes on? Yes, yes, and yes!

Also, since Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have billions to donate to population control, maybe they'd like to chip a few billion into this bail out for their comrades.

The filthy rich are about to get even filthier if this thing passes.

What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? Nothing!

Maybe Mccains comment about the "fundematals of the economy"

"the American workers" was'nt so far off. At least from the point of view of the folks being bailed out by the American workers?

Schvenzlerman's Analysis of Bush Speech

we can remove the risks
the banks will start lending again
taxpayers will be protected
the guys who screwed up won't be rewarded
the gate to the trough will be controlled jointly by Republicans and Democrats for cronies
this is needed yesterday

this will work
only $700 billion
this will work right away
the problem is overstated, so let's buy the assets at face value
only the government has the money and patience to solve this problem
the Treasury will get most of the money back

this plan is for widows and orphans
your money market funds and bank deposits are safe
we're gonna change this plan later
we need more regulation over the entire financial sector
there's no time for any other ideas right now

you should have listened to Paulson earlier
the Fed is wise
we got Democratic capitalism!
America is really great
this is no big deal
a bipartisan approach to this problem is patriotic

Yours very truly,

Schvenzlerman!

I still really wonder...

Is Bush unaware, or is he involved?

The perfect puppet is one with no conciousness.

Ron Paul's Convention Speech

this is such BS....

isn't it funny how the lies begin to stand out after awhile?

"I'm a strong believer in free enterprise, so my natural instinct is to oppose government intervention. I believe companies that make bad decisions should be allowed to go out of business. Under normal circumstances, I would have followed this course. But these are not normal circumstances."

during the whole charade i kept waiting for the "but" and it finally came...what a dipshit, he is, a drunkard failed dipship of a man that we call our president

yes, these ARE NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES! the wall street/cfr/nwo cronies are doing nothing different now than they have ever done and the taxpayer (you and i) are asked to fund their lifestyle

vote NO on the bailout...its a FREAKIN' BAILOUT!!

VOTE NO/CALL SOMEBODY

O Captain, My Captain, rise up and hear the bells!

its 'cos I owe ya, my young friend...
Rockin' the FREE world in Tennessee since 1957!

These companies...

will burn down to the ground anyways bailed out or not. All these bastards just want to recoup all the loses and then they will walk away unscathed while leaving us average Joes and our families with enormous debt. We're fu--ed even if they come up with a deal. It will be a win-win situation for them.

They MUST not approve this bs. Call, fax, or email them. I am doing this everyday. They must be threatened to be pushed, I mean kicked out of office if they approve. If they do approve this bs, let's deliver the threat in November. We own the government, not the other way around. Let's show who's the boss.

I am so friggin' tired of hearing apathetic people saying "What can I do? They run things". I always end up explaining and sometimes arguing with them.

"He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it." Confucius

These people have been lying for years

Why trust a word they say now?

Bush is a good actor and a great liar. His front for the extortionists is funny.

Anyone who trusts this guy is a dupe.

Not

Anytime the Pres or our government says anything about what "we" should do, or what may happen if we do not heed their warnings, we KNOW they are a bunch of lying Son Of A Bushs and the exact opposite is true.

They are spiders luring in the flies with poop on their spider web!

OPPORTUNITY knocks

COME on Obama where are you??? MORE of the same Or CHANGE??
JUST SAY, NO, NO, NO .
says

business & OPPORTUNITY again

HE is just smoothing your butt..ALL hogwash ..WE go down a bunch more will go down too. JUST SAY, NO ,NOn NO .LET them grow more RICE, we can stop CHINA purchases...Whow what an opportunity to bring back REAL business to AMERICA.. I'm used to working with my hands.
says

When the President Says, "Let Me Protect You"...

Remember: "Weapons of Mass Destruction."

His speech goes along with--

The Federal Reserves' plan to take-over all financial insitutions,ie-credit unions and small community saving & loans.

Very true. I have also

Very true. I have also noticed more and more credit unions actually engaging in mass marketing lately. This used to be unheard of, credit unions weren't interested in broadening base only providing the utmost service to those who were availed membership. For example, NFCU is now advertising mortgages broadly... Pathetic. Though it is true that when your quarry goes to ground give them no ground to go to. The powers that be are not ignorant in any way shape or form. They are way way over confident in the lulling of the human race though, at least I hope it is way over confidence.

There is no predestination, we are free to make our own future.

Take the day off from work and spend it calling your congressmen. Get those around you to do the same. The bailout is not going to be stopped by wishing so, action needs to be taken. If nothing else we have to delay it until after the election.
Call now, tell them they will lose their job if they vote yes and guarentee that you will take all your money out of the stock market and bank.
This is war folks, wake up, they are selling your country.
grant
On this world there exists no such impossible tasks, they fear only those with perseverance.

agree

we make our own beds.

"How can we justify to the unemployed and underemployed in the United States the incredible cost of maintaining a global empire?" - Dr. Ron Paul

HERE COMES THE AMERO

Thus the groundwork is being laid before our eyes.

Here is the future...in a quote from the past:

"We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it.
The only question is whether World Government will be achieved
by conquest or consent."
1950 Quote by: James Paul Warburg:

(1896-1969) son of Paul Moritz Warburg, nephew of Felix Warburg and of Jacob Schiff, both of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. which poured millions into the Russian Revolution through James' brother Max, banker to the German government, AND...CHAIRMAN of the CFR.

Enough said. We can't stop it. But we tried.

Thanks Dr. Paul.

"We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and overrun by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with."
-Ron Paul

I still would like to know

I still would like to know where my bailout is. They seem to have one for nearly everyone else. Maybe they just don't like those who hang around the DP! ;-)

...

Stop Paying

Everyone turn in an EXEMPT W4.

Stop giving the IRS an interest free loan

By paying more income tax every pay check and getting a big refund in April, you're effectively giving the IRS an interest free loan.

Increase your W-4 exemptions, Google for more info and contact your HR dept, but 5-6 seems to be safe, more than 10 alerts the IRS.

Be prepared to pay in April instead of getting a refund. If your diligent in socking away the money that'd be going to the IRS - you can earn the interest between now and April.

Freedom Isn't Free... Freedom costs a buck 'o five - Trey Parker

The SS, I mean, IRS would have a fit

The SS, I mean, IRS would have a fit! But then, I wonder how the paramilitary wing of the IRS would react if, for once, this country was able to pull people away from the TV long enough to do some mass civil disobience, such as 40,000,000 people filing EXEMPT on their tax returns? I mean, MediCare doesn't have any way of checking fraudulent claims to the tune of tens of billions a year, so it makes me wonder how many late night door knockers work for the IRS?

"Cowards & idiots can come along for the ride but they gotta sit in the back seat!"

Hahahaha

I agree. But the really hilarious thing is this: they don't NEED us to pay. They can just create the money out of thin air. Of course we will pay indirectly through loss of exchange value of the dollar. In other words, as long as we use dollars, they can tax us as much as they want and there is no way to stop them.

So true... The visibility is

So true... The visibility is the difference. Withholding is one of the great slumber-inducing mechanisms of the government. If the money is being paid regularly by a lot of people then a lot more people will voice lots more concern about it.
