In the polls, Obama beat McCain on the issue of the economy. Why do people think Obama is better on the economy than McCain?  Is it the promise of a tax cut for the middle class?  People looking for handouts? Most all economists I  hear say raising the capital gain tax is bad. Or are people mad at Bush they will vote for anyone with a “D”? Help me understand.

knows anything about the economy.

is that McCain is running as a member of the party most responsible for this mess. McCain has always been a champion of deregulation and tax cuts and look where that got us.

Scumball Bill Clinton putting the community re-investment act on steroids is what got us into this mess..  

the GOP wanted to regulate fnma and fdma 3 years ago. Scumballs like Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Maxine Waters raised a big stink and stopped it.  Now those very same scumballs are saying the GOP caused it.

There you go again.  Blame thr GOP for this mess.  If ever there was a bipartisan cluster fuck it is the ecomomy.  I would like to see all the scoundrels rounded up, on Wall Street, Congress and Fannie & Freddie and indict everyone of the culpable bastards so that they can join Ebbers, Stilling and the rest of them behind bars.

It is boiling down to what do you believe, and nothing anyone can say will change anyone's mind once a person's belief is made clear.

If you believe that all of Obama's programs  - energy, college, health care, and a slew of others - can be accomplished with revenue neutral plans, so that they don't cost anything, then he has the better program, and you should vote for him.

If you believe that they will cost hundreds of billions - his own estimate if you add up a program here and a program there - are not revenue neutral, will therefore have to come from hundreds of billions of dollars in new taxes, BUT, those new taxes will be only on the rich or spread out so it doesn't hurt the economy, then, again, vote for Obama.

Those are the only two possibilities of pro-Obama economy.

If you believe that all his programs will cost a lot of money, that they would have to be paid for by new taxes, and those huge new taxes would hurt the economy, vote for McCain.

Especially if his earmark-spending is more than $900 million in a span of 3-4 years.

Are you saying that in 8 years George Bush was so powerless that knowing that Bill Clinton made a mistake that would devastate the national economy, he could do nothing about it?

Clinton was beloved all over the world. When he visited Ireland, when I lived there, he drank coffee with the locals, put an arm around the little irish music shop owners. He was so down to earth, and Wow, the Irish even understood why a President of a country would have need of getting blow jobs. When he walked off the plane in Ireland, the people held welcome banners and cheered. He helped with the Northern Ireland peace process http://www.wsws.org/articles/2000/dec2000/ire-d15.shtml and everywhere he went, he was loved by the Irish. On the other hand, when President Bush visited Ireland, they had to have security keep the people back from throwing cow shit in his face.
When Clinton was president, from what I witnessed living in another country besides USA, the economy was very good. Irish and English people bought 5 houses at a time. Since Bush has taken over, the whole world is now facing a crazy financial crisis. Youre right, in 8 years, if Clinton did something wrong, if Bush was the better man, he had long enough to fix it. But as i see it, Clinton was a peace-maker and Bush is a war-maker. And war costs alot of money, where peace is a great way to save money. This should answer the question easily on who cares more of the economy. Someone who spends (LIVES?) or someone who saves (LIVES?)

I keep hearing that Clinton told banks to lend money to people that shouldn't have qualified for the mortgages.  Let's consider that to be 100% truthful, for argument's sake.

Would you want your company CEO to blindly do whatever he was asked to do, even if it was going to be bad for business?  There's almost no end to the blame on this mess.
