I’m not sure what bothers me the most…watching what we’ve built get eaten away….or paving the way out for the people that got us here. Very sad time! All we can do is stay the course. I’m confident that we will see good and possitive changes from all this!

Happy to be here!!

Maybe in 2000 but no, not in 2008. My last job was pretty low on the salary-scale. People making 20-30K/year, especially those with kids, have no illusions about getting their heads above water some day.

Granted, this doesn’t mean they’re going to vote for Obama, but they sure as shit won’t vote for Bush’s third term.

At least, that’s the message the Dems needs to keep swinging on.

You would think so. But ordinary Americans seem to suffer under the delusion that, if only they work hard and play by the rules, they too will be rich one day. Forget about the fact that that’s not how McSameasf*ckingbush got rich.
That’s why he is not “doomed” at all.

“there’s no way we’d be weathering the mortgage crisis like we are”

Like the thousands of Americans who lost their homes?

I absolutely love it. The more Republicans try and argue that the economy is doing great, the more they demonstrate how out of touch they are with middle and working-class Americans.

“B…b…but me and Buffie were in the Hamptons just this weekend! I didn’t see any homeless people! The recession is just mental! People need to stop whining!”

And this, more than anything, is why 7-McMansion McCain is doomed.

Maybe you should look up the word “fundamentals.” If the fundamentals were not strong, there’s no way we’d be weathering the mortgage crisis like we are.
