		<description>EDF, 

w/ this: &quot;The “Clinton-years-people” (save Robert Rubin, perhaps) were not part of that wrecking machine and I don’t see them becoming that anytime soon. And, BTW, if you’ve noticed, Rubin is not on the “inside” of this incoming administration.&quot;

your HeadlineNews take defies credulity.

your habit must be worth an appreciable bump to KFT&#039;s EPS, and, thus, +DOW points--no doubt your fellow 401(k)/MutFund dead-enders should thank you for it..

		<description>@james hogan
You said, &quot;It’s already pretty obvious by his selections in the economic front that he (Obama) wants to try to repeat the Clinton years. Heaven help us all if that’s the case!&quot;

Picking the best people around is not necessarily bad. It&#039;s the leadership that counts. 

Then, you said:
&quot;... he will guarantee that the same old deregulatory meme will be re-encacted.&quot;

As Alizée might say, &quot;Au contraire&quot;.
IMHO, the sense of the country is very clear now that the administration (how do I love thee, Phil Gramm) wilfully destroyed what regulations existed. We now realize what a bad deal that was. The &quot;Clinton-years-people&quot; (save Robert Rubin, perhaps) were not part of that wrecking machine and I don&#039;t see them becoming that anytime soon. And, BTW, if you&#039;ve noticed, Rubin is not on the &quot;inside&quot; of this incoming administration.</description>

		<description>JOB OFFER:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
http://gopleader.gov/jobs/
ATTENTION ECONOMISTS: ARE YOU A STIMULUS SPENDING SKEPTIC?

A recent Associated Press article  quoted transition officials for President-elect Obama as saying “[o]nly one outside economist” contacted by the President-elect’s advisors had “voiced skepticism” about the President-elect’s emerging plans for an economic “stimulus” spending bill with a price tag as large as $1 trillion, with the vast majority of that number going to new spending on government programs and projects.

House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) is compiling a list of credentialed American economists who would like to add their voices to the list of stimulus spending skeptics. If you are an economist who would like to be added to this list, you can join the list here and provide your comments. Also, please feel free to provide links to any papers or publications that support or extend upon your comments.

Be aware that information submitted through this form can, and most likely will, be shared publicly.

12/22 UPDATE: Stimulus spending skeptics speak out on the GOP Leader Blog. http://republicanleader.house.gov/blog/?p=399</description>

		<description>I am thankful that we have a president who is not an embarrassment intellectually and who the whole world respects. Just by being elected as a minority, he has made a major accomplishment. He has a clean slate in my book. Good luck to him...but he IS fucked. His saving grace is none of it is his fault so far.</description>

		<description>@Greg0658 Says: December 28th, 2008 at 8:20 am 

It was a procedural move Greg. They were threatening to topple his government in a motion of non confidence. He called time out until they can put a budget together. Showdown is the 26th. 

This is a pretty good source:

what else can you do when so many Ameria earned dollars have been invested in foreign lands - let those dollars go into default or stall and let the equipment reposses on site?

you capitalist won&#039;t let him do whats needed
ie Change ... to a system that stops using cash as a power to put in place the masses
ie Change ... to invent a system that provides for the masses

and why ... because as Gov Corzine put it &quot;wall streeters have no idea how to use the working end of a shovel&quot; or put another way would rather thieve than have to</description>
