I keep waiting for Mr. Potter to come in and buy everything, and bury George Bailey...

[Grateful11]

I really liked the the very first part where he said people had become
worried about the economy in the past two weeks. Past two weeks, talk
about out of touch with reality. Sorry but I saw this coming years ago
like many others. You can only go so long on borrowed money. People
have maxed out everything they have, credit cards, their equity in their
homes and so on. For years my wife and I have been driving through
neighborhoods asking ourselves what the hell do these people do to live
in places like this, working two jobs, three jobs, sell drugs, what?
Sorry I'm rambling.

PS: I also liked the touch fear he tried to put into people. Everything he
said has been happening to mainstream American's for years it might
get worse but I say all those things are coming to a neighbor near you
soon anyway.

Here's his exact words:

"Over the past few weeks, many Americans have felt anxiety about their finances and their future. I understand their worry and their frustration."

Let me know how it goes, I cannot listen to Shrub. Its like fingernails on a chalkboard. I trust I'll get a full accounting from y'all. Meantime, pizza, beer, and season 2 of Dexter.

[Gutenberg]

Bush talks as if members of Congress have no ideas of their own, that they are just waiting there agape like little baby birds to get Paulson's plan shoved down their throats. Wrong again, Bush.

It's time for him to shut up and start listening because he has brought this country to its knees politically, militarily and economically.

My wife feels the same way. Watching Bush speak, she has the maternal urge to help him, as if he's got a disability, or speech defect, watching him try to communicate makes her feel anxious.

She watched a Bill Clinton appearance with me last night, and marveled at his ease with language, intelligence, and clarity. He was in good form, too, unlike his primary campaign temperamental outbursts, he was relaxed, detached, comfortable, insightful. The contrast was so stark, it was exhilarating. Then, depressing.
