Week of September 21, 2008 - September 27, 2008

EVERYONE, as quickly as you can PASS THIS VIDEO TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW.

That is your video of "YOU'RE WRONG, YOU'RE WRONG, YOU'RE WRONG". THAT is the soundbyte that can help frame the debate. Post this on Dailykos, huff, thinkprog, open left and etc. I have sent it to everyone in my email and you should do the same. LET'S GET TO WORK.

Piecing everything together this is how I think that meeting of the Heavyweights went.


It seems like the meeting started very cordially with everyone getting their turn to speak, specifically, Obama talked about his  4 main themes that he wants instituted in the plan. After everyone had there chance to speak  and it seemed about everyone but Shellby was on  board John McCain went into a very vauge argument about the House  Republicans and their plan. After this John Boehner went into his rant about the plan and Barack Obama then asked Hank Paulson if there is a way  that this can be instituted into the plan. Paulson responded basically by saying this is a non starter. Bush also  responded "We have to fix this or the sucker (the economy) is  going down" and that led to some P.O.'d Democrats who felt they were so close to a deal and then a wrench was thrown in. That led to the meeting ending off on the wrong foot and all these news reports divulging that more deliberating needs to be done.

Am I the the only one that is ELATED that the House Republicans are revolting.


I don't mean this politically whatsoever. Personally I don't care who comes out on top in this particular crisis because O has already garnered the confidence needed. What I am talking about is substantive. I WANT the parties to look at this plan again I WANT all other options to be exaccerbated before  they sign off, I WANT them to look at their plan over and over again. This is something that will affect the next generation, so it BETTER be the best of the worst (there is only bad and terribel). I WANT more time to be taken thinking about this, the stakes are much too high to just rush through this. So for the first time in my adult life, I say,  THANK YOU House  Republicans, you have given much more time for deliberation and to make sure we do this RIGHT.

Keep in mind folks, if Obama wins by the margin Bush won it will be an electoral landslide.


You heard me say it. If Obama wins with 51% of the vote to McCains 48 it will be an electoral landslide. That would be a 6 point swing from 04. With Kerry winning 252 electoral college votes and O getting about 8-10 million more votes than him (take account for the soon to be increased turnout)  it will certainly be  300-330 electoral votes garnered. It may LOOK close if that is the outcome, but that map will certainly say something different.

For those pleading with the Obama camp to bring up Keating 5 ask yourselves this.....


Did George Bush bring up the Keating 5 during his nasty primary battle with John McCain?


Exactly....
