Discussing Bailout On MSNBC

I was on MSNBC last night discussing the bailout and John McCain’s erratic response to the crisis. Here’s the video.

Hey Paulson, Where’s My Bailout?

Have anything lying around the house that you know you’ll never use again?

With this current economic meltdown, do you wish you would have re-thought at least some of your spending during the good times? Are you asking yourself the same question that millions of Americans are asking themselves as the DOW continues its ascent towards the 1970’s?

Hey Paulson…where’s my bailout?

Some friends of DoubleSpeak just put up this really funny site. Take a second and ask Secretary Paulson to buy your shitpile!

Hilarious.

What’s Going On With McCain?

Up to now, I haven’t really bought into the theory that some have been pushing about McCain being confused. Obviously, I don’t agree with him on many important issues, but I have chalked that up to him being on the other side of the aisle from me. However, this morning he had another one of those “confused” moments on ABC’s Good Morning America and now I’m really starting to get concerned that this pattern of forgetting important moments could really hurt his ability to serve as POTUS.

McCain has clearly stated that he is not an expert on the economy. I’ve heard it many times, you’ve heard it, we’ve all heard it. It’s on video…it’s clearly in the public record. However, McCain has either erased it from his memory, lost it from his memory, or he has decided to just outright fib about past statements he has made. I watched this clip live this morning and I was utterly shocked when he pushed back as he did.

Is John McCain not telling the truth or is he really confused about on the record statements he has made?

UPDATE: MSNBC’s First Read has more.

What Has Bush Done Right?

What has Bush done right? Well, judging by this new CBS poll, not much! (I highlighted the most surprising numbers in red)

WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST ABOUT BUSH’S PRESIDENCY?

Poll 1
WHAT DO YOU LIKE LEAST ABOUT BUSH’S PRESIDENCY?
Poll 2

As we approach the 2006 elections, things are just getting worse and worse for President Bush and the GOP. It all boils down to one issue: IRAQ.

There is no good ending to a war that you’ve already won. We need to bring the troops home and then the GOP can fight amongst themselves on who is better at screwing up America’s national security.
