Stop fighting the Kooks overseas? Really? Since 9/11 we have stopped no less than 8 more attempts at terrorist attacks, STILL have not identified the source of the Amthrax delivery to leaders and killing of postal workers.

So you want to go back to the 90s and just ignore it again? The money you say is being wasted on kooks was hijacked from the Defense budget by the previous admin. to the tune of 140 Billion a year. You are now paying for the price of INACTION as well. Everytime in American history is filled with having Democrats neglect the defense until we get hit, and then scramble to get back to a working posture.

As for the economy, it slows and peaks in waves all the time. This time its the housing market that was popped. NINJA Loans (No Income, No Job) and greedy make money with no effort flippers make up most of it. Better check on who is the ones on the Banking commission that let it go! (Barney Franks, Chris Dodd.)

We now find that global warming is a farse, and now the same folks are saying we are a loosing economy?

Self-correcting!!!!!
Where is this happening?
In the rich neighborhoods?
Our country's in trouble because of over-priced coffee and phones?
Abunai, you my friend, have hit an all-time low.
I need a drink.

Republican. Liberal. Independent. Whatever. George W. is a knucklehead. Really, what has this guy done for our country? Prior to sneaking into the White House, he had absolutely no successful political track record. Enough of this foolery. But, when it comes to solid presidential candidates, the well is hopelessly dry.

Sussi..I totally agree with you..THe problem with these conservative hacks is they can NEVER admit when one of their own has made SERIOUS mistakes.. Take for example the Iraqi war... we are spending somewhere around 20 billion a month there... Instead of spending it here in the US... where it belongs.Do you know what 20 billion a month could do in the US... Then lets talk about the economy.. My 401K has lost almost 10k in the last year..nothing to sneeze at.. not to mention the housing market going bust then we have oil... oil that has gone up over 40% in the last year..Not on Clintons watch like many of these Conservative hacks seem to blame..but on George W Bushs watch.. food has jumped almost 20% US car makers are almost ready to declare bankruptcy..COnsumer confidence is at its lowest in almost 50 years... companies are laying off by the thousands..But to these COnservative hacks..Everything is fine and dandy..nothing wrong at all... Sussi.. you and I need to grab a beer and rethink how we need to take our government back from these nuts

Iraq war spending? 1% of GDP my friend. How about Obama sneaking Global Poverty Bills through committee, with Biden's help and now spending hundreds of Billions (.7% GDP) up to 2015 on passing out AMERICAN MONEY to warlords, and dictators that are starving their own! Extortion money!! No debate allowed... voice vote only.. and almost as much as the Iraq war!

I suggest you libs start preparing to defend yourselves instead of trying to "get Bush" as you have done including trying to make us loose the war for the last 5 plus years!! Had you done your job in 93 instead of ignoring it for two terms, the cost of that inaction would be not be in the mix, and likely not lost as many people in the process!

You can't get around the Democrats inaction, then destroying the evidence to protect yourselves with Sandy Berger's work!

If George W. Bush had two brains, one would die of loneliness!

Tom Sussi is right in the fact that this country is in deep do do. The economy is tail spinning and I stated to a colleague earlier today that I didn't have confidence that either Obama or McCain could reverse the situation. Consumer confidence is down, Unemployment is up, and creditors have closed their doors. All add up to a recession that will make the 70's look like glorious times.

I think that this falls on the backs of both parties for not working together. Yet the main cause is the current administration running of our government that rewarded shipping jobs over seas and gave tax breaks to the extremely wealthy while shooting everyone else in the back. The poor are actually poorer now than when Bush took office as are the middle class in this country. Funny how the fastest growing economies in the world are ones where we shipped all of our jobs too. LOL. Makes me wonder if it's possible that Bush is league with the enemy because they couldn't have done as much damage to us as he has.

Either way, McCain or Obama are huge improvement over the current administration.
