9/29/08- TWD's Agenda For the Day: No Deal, No Bill; He Apparently Now Gets "Mavericky" on Petarus

This will go on for another day, and though some people maybe tired of it going on for another day, you shouldn't be. Because it is your tax players money, and the future of that money, getting decided in the next couple of days.
By a 228-205 decision, the bailout deal failed today.
The simple question after this comes to this: Will the market fail if this bill doesn't past? And by the way, you know whose been quiet the last few days besides Dick Cheney of course:
Surprisingly, the answer wouldn't be Karl Rove. Instead, it is our Treasur Secretary Henry Paulson, who loved to be in fromt of the camera all of last week.
So now, Mr. Paulson, who was busy in front of the camera not that long ago urging for this bill to get passed, has been mime silent since McCain pulled his selfish stupid act on Wednesday to "suspend" his campaign. I guess since he wasn't going to get that "blank check" that he wanted, he doesn't want anything to do with this at all. Sadly, his cowering isn't a surprise.
It has come to be the norm in Washington over the last 8 years.
At the end of the day, the facts, figures, and HISTORY, the HISTORY, will back me up when I say this: This is all the Republicans fault.
Thanks to no regulations over the last 8 years that would have checked on Fall Street's shady business (with the dow in the low 700's today), they have let this get out of control. Laizze-fare economics at its most corrupt modern day form. Now, you have fools like House Minority Leader John Boehner crying on C-SPAN for everyone to see his theatrics. Yes, he cries now, but these are the real questions I have for him, since he is all impassionate now:
Minorty Leader Boehner, where was your crying when this whole disaster was in its nascent stage? Where was your crying two weeks ago when John McCain said the "fundamentals of our economy are strong" when the DOW was on its way to a 500 point drop that very same day?
Where were your tears when your party and your administration, our administration, had to admit to the nation that under their watch, we were on the road to recession (and for some without houses, it is not only a recession, but a modern day Great Depression) ?
Well where you tears then, in all of those intervals, instead of now?
And you know what, I wouln't be shocked if he used this as a campaign ad down the line, to show "how much he cared." Sickening.
By the way, speaking of that word, here's McAngry again today, making himself look like an utter fool every damn two seconds by criticizing Obama for not saying the word "Victory" in regards to Iraq at the debate .
As you watch that trainwreck of a video, this is what General David Petarus, who McCain has wanted to probably throw 365 parties on 365 days in this man's name, said to the BBC about two weeks ago. And once again, thank TPM for their tremendous diligence.
So I guess McIrrational has now placed Petarus "under the bus." Whose next, his daughter Bridget?
The agenda will be located in the comments section as always, and boy, are there a lot of items to discuss.
