Oh, and FYI: Graduate school is apparently where they teach that “you have to run a big deficit during a grand recession.“ But because ”everybody didn’t go to grad school,” Matthews says Obama needs to explain this. Despite Andrea Mitchell’s attempts to soften the blow, Matthews doesn’t relent.

Posted on November 1, 2010 at 7:30pmTrust me – Chris Matthews has NOT HAD A CHANGE OF HEART.
He has just seen the HAND WRITING ON THE WALL…..and is TRYING TO GET CROUCH DOWN BEHIND HIS HARSH & UNRATIONAL WORDS FROM THE PAST 2 + YEARS, IN HOPES THAT HE CAN EMERGE WITH A “ NEW ATTITUDE” AND NO ONE WILL REMEMBER.
OK, Chris – Obama is NOW bad, huh? Right!
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT “HOPE YOU CAN CHANGE” THING.

What will you be saying then when you had 20 months to do so and all you did was insult and mock everyone who disagreed with you? To call you a turd is an insult to all good turds world wide, you are the lowest form of turd.

Posted on November 1, 2010 at 9:04pmI know it’s confusing, and I am 100% against it since I learned, but our money is debt based money, we don’t print our own money, the Fed’s do. WHich are private bankers… They love debt because they make money off the interest. This is why they love War, the greatest debt maker there is. If you have time, watch the Doco below. It is very long, but broken into 22 9 minute parts and will let you in on why debt is great to helping these international bankers who print our money.. How they passed the Federal Reform Act with only 3 Senators voting and how the 16th amendment may not have ever been ratified by 3/4 of the states as required to change the constitution… I never knew any of this and was very suprised and scared once I found all this out… how they literally stole the Gold in FT. Knox, unbeknownst to us. CHeck it out, very good video..Even if you just wondered how money worked and came to be.

Posted on November 1, 2010 at 9:26pmHOBBS57,
What you have posted is what my parents taught me 50 years ago. They spent their lives, and I have spent mine, trying to figure out how so many other folks couldn’t grasp the truth. They and I were/are called very kind of tinfoil hat whack jobs you can imagine. Sorry that we couldn’t get anyone to listen, while there was still time to do something about it. But at least now I have great fun telling some of them“I TOLD YOU SO”.
Unfortunately, we find ourselves “Decades Late, and Trillions of Dollars Short” and all we can fall back on, is our Faith in GOD and RIFLE.

Posted on November 1, 2010 at 6:55pmI don’t remember Obama ever being patriotic or inclusive or a leader of all the people. As a matter of fact, he’s been quite divisive. As to the economic viewpoint, you can’t sell “stupid” to the American people. It doesn’t take a degree to understand finances and the economy.
