Replying to: tagman (Nov 06, 2008 10:43 am) I also got a kick out of the George Bush guy on Jay Leno, whenever they did "Celebrity Jeopardy." I admit, many folks are fed up with the Republicans and want change. I just hope BO appoints a competent secretary of defense, because Joe Biden speaks the truth-Obama is seen as dovish by our enemies, and I fear he will be tested in a direct confrontation with Al Qaeda before the end of 2009. One good thing about George Bush and it was a biggie-he prevented Al Qaeda from attacking us again. Change is one thing, but you can't have change without a country to change.

Replying to: circlew (Nov 06, 2008 4:42 am) And where were all those government hand outs for Silcon Valley after the internet bubble burst a few years ago? Did many information technology firms shut down or go bankrupt? Ofcourse they did and despite those bankruptcies USA has stronger and more profitable information technology firms than what existed during the bubble. Creative destruction and creative innovation is the source of prosperity and not government handouts to firms that cant compete. Toyota's shares are being battered today because of a bitter sales and earnings forecast. What is Toyota doing about it? The will introduce four unique hybrid Toyota and Lexus models during the year of 2009. You wont hear Toyota screaming for handouts since they do know how to reinvent themselves during economic booms and dooms. OPEC crisis 1974 and the Big 3 are caught offguard. Oil prices and environmetalism today the Big 3 are caught offguard again. What have they learned? Any company that sells products that consumers dont want deserves to die. GM, Ford and Chrysler RIP and hopefully innovative US firms like Telsa will thrive and grow!

Replying to: hpowders (Nov 06, 2008 12:02 pm) And how did Bush confront Al Queda? By going to Baghdad and spending over a trillion dollars in a country where Saddam Hussein was very effective in torturing and killing Iraqi Al Queda members. That IMO is a very indirect way of confronting Al Queda. Obama/Biden wants to directly confront Al Queda in Afghanistan and Pakistan with more troops. That IMO is a far more direct way of confronting Al Queda especially since that is exactly where most of Al Queda is hiding.

Replying to: hpowders (Nov 06, 2008 2:15 pm) His name was Saddam Hussein. A true story. The story continues... Then one day he was dreaming that he can be the second coming of Hitler so he started killing the Kurds and ultimately invaded Kuwait. A true story too...

Replying to: louiswei (Nov 06, 2008 2:33 pm) Like the USA cared so much about the Kurds? Cheney and Bush cared about one thing and one thing only: OIL. Sounds like a criminal case to me, but that would require guts. I'm not holding my breath.
