But the Euroweenies LOVE the Rats! They can’t wait for Obambi to become president! They KNOW /s this crisis is all Bush’s fault!
Right.

VERY INTERESTING.
Now - I’m going to guess that at some point tonight Barak is going to claim the only “he” can restore our image across the world.
He is a citizen of the world afterall!
But the world is mad today because subprimes led to default which led to financial institutions toppling other financial institutions.
The sub-prime virus has infected the world.
Which presidential candidate can make the claim that he helped intimidate banks into engaging in such dubious practices?
hmmm...
Who is listed in this court case?

I agree with you that they have a right to be upset because this crisis was, in fact, CAUSED by the U.S. Government (through the Rat party).
However, I still am compelled to point out that these same Euroweenies often actively work to undermine our power in the world (which cannot help but also include our economic power) and cheer any misfortune that comes our way.
IOW, they bellow and wail about how the U.S. should be “taken down a notch,” but when it is, they suddenly seem to discover for the first thing that this might not be such a good thing after all. That, in fact, the U.S., in particular its economy, is the engine of the global economy and the safekeeper of geopolitical stability.
Big surprise to these guys that our fates our inextricably intertwined and it’s quite ridiculous, therefore, for them to be “anti-” us in any way.
There is no cause for alarm. secretary of State Kerry will take care of it all by the end of February. It will be all hugs and kisses
Wow! That is the best summation of the zeitgeist in Europe that I have ever read.
Decades ago it became very clear to me that the only ambition of the young Europeans I met was to cobble together enough from their government handouts to go Eurailling all summer and to stay in school (and, therefore, in arrested adolescence) as long as possible before getting a nominal job and graduating to the big ticket government handouts.
They needed an excuse?
They have a dog in every fight and it is ALWAYS the U.S.A.
They never seem to learn this lesson, however.
Could the current financial crisis lead to the formation of a common financial system and currency? Most scholars I have read seem to presume such a thing would be a necessary precursor to imposition of the Mark...
He's giving a talk at the Harvard Club of Boston, November 10th, at noon. Why don't you go over and make a citizen's arrest?
To Europe: THERE. Now we gave you a REASON to cry.
many Americans died as a result
I would love to, however I am on the West Coast
George Bush tricked them onto the greed train. It’s absolutely amazing how this dumbest man on earth was able to trick the American people, American congress and the world.
They trusted our govt and they have every right to be upset
_______________________
Upset with who? Our government didn’t sell them squat. They have only themselves to blame for greed and ignorance of what they were investing in. Seems to me that stupidity of the world’s financial genious crowd is the reason investments were made with blindfolds on. They have every right to be upset with themselves.
Fannie and Freddie debt and mortgage securities “are held by central banks and investors throughout the United States and around the world who believe them to be virtually risk-free,” Lockhart [James Lockhart, the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency] said. “We have a responsibility to both avert and ultimately address the systemic risk now posed by the scale and breadth of the holdings.”
