mba from harvard says he at least understands the basics, no matter how he thinks the markets 'should' work/etc. i'm sure he at least understands the basics of what is happening.jamesinclair said:

That's a pretty good address by Bush to explain the situation.
I was wondering about that too... maybe it'll have something to do with making McCain look good. Otherwise I don't under stand! Georgie boy! It's your second term! You can do whatever you want (other than get a blowjob from an intern) and not give a fuck what people think about it!Blader5489 said:

Feels like an Econ class with the prof reading from a book. Should I be taking notes?
I have to give the credit props, he is doing a very good job with this and has even made several concessions to dems in this speech.
Bush is doing a very good job with this crisis, I have to give the guy props. Unlike McCain he isnt running around like a chicken with his head cut off.

Finally, Bush seplls out why the bailout is actually a government making profit scenario.
It seems like 95% of america doesnt get this

Bush is really giving an intelligent, well spoken address. Up is down. Black is white.

He is right ont his one, we are most likely going to make money on this deal in the long run. The Chrysler bailout was actually profitable and the S&L bailout wound up nearly breaking even.
In the long run, we probably dont lose that much in this deal.

Bush is basically admitting that in order to face off Chinese competition, they will have to run their economy in a similar manner to China's.

POTENTIAL profit scenario. That's only if they buy under market price, and it is NOT guaranteed.

I give the speech write an A-, I think they should have put the bailout = potential profit earlier on.
I give Bush a B+, he pronounced everything right, he read it fine, although he seemed a tad robotic.
And as a bonus, he didnt blame it on Iran

Conspiracy theory: Maybe Palin had some really awful gaffes and CBS said they would air them unless McCain came and gave Katie an interview pronto?

Agreed, but it seems that the majority of the country doesnt get this.
They hear 700 billion bailout and imagine 700 billion going to wallstreet paychecks.
Bailout is a terrible word. It has to be made clear that what is actually happening is that the last lender is setting a price (better then the market setting no price) and counting on the investment to pay off in a few years.
Just to remind everybody, the housing situation WILL NOT be solved by this bailout (despite banks having new capital to loan out).
The only solution is to let housing prices fall enough, and ideally lenders and judges would restructure loans in foreclosure for the people to afford them (discount the loans).

It just seems that way because you just watched the Palin Interview.Justin Bailey said:

About the pants shitting, it's true. I also witnessed a similar incident in basic training. I remember all of us standing at our racks at ease preparing for the next bit of training when one of the recruits went up to the drill instructor door to ask for permission to go to the bathroom. Normally if the DI says 'NO' several times you just go anyway and take your punishment later because when you gotta go, you gotta go.
This guy didn't get the message.
So a few minutes later, still standing there, he pisses himself at the drill instructor's door. Everybody else laughed (pushups for all!) and the DI got red angry and told him to clean himself up. In the next squadbay over. Of course that was was also full of recruits and their own set of DI's so that caused a ruckus.
Needless to say, he got no respect after that. Also he managed to break his leg during the last physical fitness test run. The last one. What a way to go.

Just write "Im' fucked" on a single piece of paper, and thats pretty much the message to take away from the speech.
Anyone know what time the bread lines open tomorrow? Maybe old man Rockefeller will be tossing out dimes as he drives by
