5. No..you are just acting "Overwhelmed." Changes (in increments) will be made...
it's the best we can hope for. After all...It's not up to OBAMA ...it's up to the REST OF US. He is but a TOOL...and he has to hear more than from Lobbyists to set an Agenda.

We have to do more. We have to work harder.

15. after all...
life is a sexually transmitted disease with a 100% MORTALITY RATE!

seriously, though. the economy has some suckitude, but people who are calling this the end of the world have no historical perspective imo

i trade stocks and futures nearly every day. the economy will recover. it always does.

18. i just closed on a house
my potential to bail anybody else out is limited right now.

it wasn't quite a "blood on the streets" opp, but considering the seller took a 140k hit since he bought it in 2006, it was a reasonable time to wade in

21. Wrong. We are only screwn. It's our children that are completely screwn.
Bush accelerated the screwning, but the really sad part is that it appears Obama and the Democratic Congress don't have the courage or inclination to do the right thing.
