The government reported employers cut 159,000 jobs last month, the ninth straight month of job losses.
Looks more and more like the R word. Recession.
Washington will never get it.
Nance-
Fannie Mae and Freddie spent huge amounts of money on the entire Congressional body! Obama was on the list just like McCain and everyone else.
McCains campaign manager was being paid $30,000 per month for 5 years to lobby for Fannie and Freddie. Yes, to lobby for protection against Congress and to support sub-prime loans.
McCain's manager pocketed 1.8 million dollars while Obama was given thousands?
If your name was Newton, you couldn't even find the apple falling from the tree.
The turnaboutis a move McCain has perfected in 26 years on Capitol Hill.
The Arizona senator embraces his party's popular critique of government, frequently invoking the deregulatory rhetoric that has helped Republicans win five of the last seven presidential elections.
But when a crisis or scandal makes headlines and sparks a public outcry, McCain is among the quickest in his party to call for robust government intervention.
The CBS News poll found that President Bush has tied the presidential record for a low approval rating -- 22 percent, matching Harry S. Truman's Gallup approval rating in 1952, when the country was mired in the Korean War and struggling with a stagnant economy.
Unfairly blamed? 78 percent of us believe the Republican administration is an utter failure! Can't say the "buck stops here" because the "buck" isn't worth anything anymore- thanks Republicans for borrowing our future and squandering it on a useless war in the wrong country fighting imaginary weapons that don't exist while allowing Iran to become the default power in a very important region of the world. Bravo!

WT-
Here is the reality. Obama will be President and he will have a Senate Majority. If they do a better job than the neocons, the House will fall to the Democrats by 2012.
The possibility that Democrats will build a muscular, 60-seat Senate majority is looking increasing plausible, with new polls showing a powerful surge for the party's candidates in Minnesota, Kentucky and other states.
The republican party is being flushed down the sewer of incompetence due to leaders just like McSpend, Palin, Bush, Cheney, and all of the neocons that care only about the politically connected.
