avert a recession.  Obama said the economic policies of the Bush Administration haven’t worked and the country could be headed for tumultuous economic times.  Bush said the economy is slowing down but we won’t see a recession because of his economic stimulus plan.  Warren Buffet said we are in a recession.  Is there any question as to who has the most credibility?

Warren Buffet, of course!  I wouldn't take anything those politicos say seriously since all they do is play to the polls in order to get elected.  The current one in the White House has proven himself to be intellectually challenged to say the very least, almost as much as his verasity is repeatedly called into question.

Saying we are in an 'economic downturn' is akin to saying that your wife is just slightly pregnant.

greatest lie.

based on the current definition of 2 negative quarters of GDP. Clinton and Obama are pandering to their constituents by scaring the shit out of them. Economic downturns happen, and will happen again the future. Doesn't anyone remember the 2000-2002 downturn? If not, just go back to your 401K or similar statements. How about the S&L crisis and recession in 1991. Home prices dropped, and then stagnant for 6 or 7 years.

The thing that pisses me off about Hillary is her attack on Oil, Insurance and Pharma companies. She singled out Exxon for making too much money. Would someone teach her how to read an Income Statement? Exxon only makes about a 10% pre-tax operating margin. And that is in the best of times.

Exxon also paid more in taxes than the entire bottom half of taxpayers combined.
