You and your brother came to my house and after promising me that you would clean-up and fix everything ... you left it worse than when you came ... and then you did some double-talk and promised me you'll do better next time and so I re-hired you but now the house is worse than ever. Now your brother comes over and claims that he has taken over the company and that he'll "change" things. So now I'm supposed to re-hire your brother to "change" and clean the mess that wasn't there before I hired the both of you 8 years ago. Do I have "stupid" written on my face? Let me see if I got this straight …

So now I’m supposed to re-hire your brother to “change” and clean the mess that wasn’t there before I hired the both of you 8 years ago.

Do I have “stupid” written on my face?

But McCain's acknowledged ignorance on economic issues, happy talk about strong "fundamentals," ties to lobbyists and disturbing involvement in the 1980's savings and loan disaster aren't the only reasons voters should flock to Barack Obama for solutions to the mushrooming financial crisis. As history has proven time and again, Wall Street and the economy overall simply do better under Democratic presidents.

He helped invent Blackberry (even though he's unsure of how to email) -- yeah, right-- it's a Canadian company & invention, you buffoons! He understands the economy-- what?? He thinks the economy is solid & good at present-- is he asleep?? When McCain initially admitted he knows little about the economy, we had no idea how little-- he is totally out of touch. And to say he helped invent Blackberry? He must think there is no data whatsoever to refute his lies. This is a delusional, stupid man. And Palin?? Well, she knows about 95% less than he does. She is a cheerleading, gun-toting, woman-hating airhead. And that ain't sexist-- it's what she is. Sorry, Repubs, but facts are facts. The media need to nail this ignorant woman for what she is - completely uninformed about anything majorly political in the U.S., stupid about what a VP does, vindictive & vengeful, promoter of the deprivation of women's rights. If Repubs & women vote her in, they are completely against the U.S. They are America-haters, for it is obvious they vote only on superficialities, not on intelligence & substance, not on policies. They want a doofus, not a real leader who will improve U.S, relations in the world. They are anti-American. Here is a man who lies many times every day.
