Reply #130: Amazing, how you deduce these matters when you weren't even there

You're going by a first hand account, as seen through the eyes of somebody who was admittedly losing their cool. You're trying to give the impression that this person was shouting about all Obama supporters being brain dead, when the actual truth of the matter is that the only one who was shouting was ebjr. Sounds to me like the person was merely talking at a conversational level. Granted, some people have louder coversational tones than others, but still and all, it wasn't shouting.

Nor do you or ebjr have anyway of knowing that this was specifically directed at ebjr. It was a conversation that went from mild flirtation to politics, and in fact it seems, from ebjr's original post on this, that the conversational level was quite normal, since he stated that at first he thought it was innocuous noise. Apparently the only time that his ears perked up were when Obama was mentioned:shrug:

As far as the bailout goes, where did I state that bonds would be downgraded immediately? If you actually go back and look, you'll see that my predictions were for things to go south with the bailout three to six months in the future. Sadly, it looks like they're going south even sooner than that, what will the still tight credit market, which you thought the bailout would thaw out, the use of bailout monies for acquisition and bonuses, oh, and the government buying out the banks. Lots of unintended consequences that you didn't see but yet are having a negative effect on our economy. Thank God for the Bailout:eyes: Oh, and get back to me in a few months, and we'll compare our predictions. Or not, but when you do see our bond ratings go south, just remember, you got fooled.

Have a great day:hi:
