McCain says Obama policies will deepen recession: read here
RE: McCain says Obama’s policies will deepen recession; very important in light of bailout being rejected and the subsequent affect that had on the world economy/American stock market (dropped 800 points; more than ever in one day).
A little argument about how/why that is NOT true; e.g. creation of jobs in the AMERICAN economy - not something either party is good at, but Obama will be/can be and how his policies support that creation. Republicans benefit more from exporting jobs/work to other countries, and tend to support such corporate policies b/c of who invests in their campaigns (http://thehill.com/campaign-2008/top-ceos-give-10-times-more-to-mccain-than-to-obama-2008-08-15.html)
I feel like this is really important; if he makes people (fence-sitters or even people who would most likely have voted for Obama) afraid we will end up with another election where people are voting for what is familiar (e.g. Bush x2). And THIS is the perfect opportunity to freak people out; theirmoneyis in danger!!!
When faced with a floundering campaign, a presidential nominee that vacillates between his declaration that the “fundamentals of the economy are strong” to declaring it a national crisis, putting his campaign on hold and returning to Washington as “sheriff” to fix the ails of the economy to a vice-presidential nominee that can’t respond to Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric in a thoughtful manner, fret not. Pimp out your daughter and continue to create media spectacle that will distract the American population from silly issues like the economy, foreign policy and energy independence (coal? Nuclear? No thanks!).
“Inside John McCain’s campaign the expectation is growing that there will be a popularity boosting pre-election wedding in Alaska between Bristol Palin, 17, and Levi Johnston, 18, her schoolmate and father of her baby. “It would be fantastic,” said a McCain insider. “You would have every TV camera there. The entire country would be watching. It would shut down the race for a week.”
I am crazy about Baumgardner and Richards! Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism and the Future has become a staple part of my courses for the last several years. Their ability to speak to young women in an intelligent and down-to-earth manner is unprecedented. Their visit to Los Angeles is not to be missed.
In yesterday’s post at Washingtonpost.com, Mary Ann Akers reported that Maxim Magazine nominated Sarah Palin as the second “hottest” politican in the world. This sits right up there with Hugh Hefner’s Playboy offer. Ugh.
