We're DOOOOOMED!!! It's all Bush's fault!
The Democrats can't handled the place another "wrong bet" on the economy, and now its time to pay the price.
Only fools and Democrats bet against this economy, folks.
The fact they still don't understand this basic concept is why the remain the Minority Party.
Willie and Dashcle are in emergency session to determine just how saddened they are. Deeply, or very are their choices.
GE has good news on economy also.
Stagflation, anyone? The slowdown has begun

I ignore all at CNBC except Kudlow and Cramer.

and the Clinton era's mantra of "we can make tech fortunes out of thin air!".
LOLOLOLOLOL
LOL! The 2 Johns and their hair!
