Wall Street Crashes the 2008 Election - 'If you break it, you own it...'

The Most Horrendous Conquerors!
“Typically, military occupations are quite successful,
even by the most horrendous conquerors.”
-- Noam Chomsky


“All of Powell's warnings: 'think of the consequences...', the Pottery Barn rule--'If you break it, you own it...' And that's exactly what has happened in Iraq. (and everything else they've touch) We own it. In a way, they've had victory without success,” says Woodward.

1. It would be slightly comical if Obama withdrew today...

"Fuck it, I don't want it. What, 8 years of hell? Let the old bastard on his death bed figure it out. Im moving to Hawaii".


Well...funny in a black comedy kind of way. I don't know. I guess Id have a bit of a chuckle.

3. I've long said that you would have to be a true patriot or a crazy bastard to want the presidency

At least right now. Good thing for us, Obama is a true patriot who I believe can face this problem head-on and lead us through this mess. But it's going to be a long, grueling process along the way.

I wouldn't want the job. To be handed the keys to the U.S. right now is akin to taking over the helm of the Titanic just as its back is breaking and getting ready to turn on its end and sink.

2. The Republicans Don't Own Up to Anything

The Republicans don't own up to ANYTHING. They're already trying to blame the present financial melt-down on former president Clinton--as if they didn't have control of Congress from 1995 to 2007 and the White House from January 20th, 2001 to the present.
