George Bush is a terrorist because of how he irresponsibly presented the options with respect to the bailout. He made it sound like without the bailout, the country faced financial ruin. Financial ruin is inevitable with or without the bailout.

In fact, the bailout as signed hurriedly into law will make the coming market correction that much more horrific, and should not have been broached let alone urged on the American people in "panic" mode.

He should have taken responsibility for years of wrongheaded interference in the market and ill-advised foreign wars and explained why Wall Street could not be bailed out by the American taxpayers.

So basically you have no idea what terrorism is. Terrorism is strapping explosives to your body and going wedding crashing because that's where you can kill the most people. Terrorism is crashing jets into the WTC becasue that's where you can kill the most people. Terrorism is crashing a plane into the Pentagon because you're too weak to carry out a legit war against our country so you just kill as many unarmed civilians as you can find and hide in a cave because you know you wouldn't stand a chance in hell against our armed forces.

Get a grip.

what exactly would mccain offer us white people that obama couldn't? do tell.

The same thing he offers to all Americans: A wealth of military experience to draw from when commanding our toops and an understanding that in times of financial crisis you must cut spending, not increase it. Obama is a two year senator and you want him in charge of the most powerful military in the world? What a joke. If you think George W. Bush sucked as Commander in Chief, why would you think a lawyer/community organizer is going to be better? And the Democrats are operating under delusions that Clinton = Democrat = Economic Prosperity = Obama. Well there was a little thing called the Interwebernets that really took off during the 90's--that is the story of the 90's, not Bill Clinton.

Not only is there nothing to suggest that there's anything about Obama's plans that will create more prosperity than McCain's, but in fact Obama will almost certainly not even be able to do the things he has promised on the campaign trail because of the recent $700 billion bailout. Are we supposed to pay for that and the billions he wants to spend for nationalized healthcare? Where exactly is this money going to come from? $700 billion equals about a quarter of our annual federal budget. And you think we can pay for that and increase government services? That means either a massive decrease in other categories (such as defense, Social Security LOL, and Medicare/aid) or a required increase of 25% in tax revenues.

What backwards planet do you live on where this math adds up?
