I'm afraid Americans are more concerned with feelings than facts at this time. I also think we should not talk in billions or trillions anymore but keep it in the millions so people can understand. Kind of like putting calories and fat content on everything we eat so we know there's a lot of calories in ice cream etc.

AIG executives received 167 million in bonuses split 70 ways or roughly a $2.4 million average. AIG as a company recieved $180,000 million and gave Goldman Sachs 12,000 million. People can understand $2.40 v. $180,000.00 but not when you deal in billions and trilions. To me going after AIG execs is like going after a cab driver who got a fat tip after driving away from bank robbery and forgetting about the money that's gone and how it went missing.

I guess the only answer I have is that the last 8 years is a perfect example of that

a far better example is the popularity of 'Dancing with the Stars' and 'American Idol'

That is so true. what I can't understand is why the left (not the crazy way left) wanted to keep the last Administration accountable, maybe even follow the Constitution, but they follow this one blindly trusting whatever they say, and giving them free reign to do whatever they want.

Let's face it. Dubya didn't have much to beat.
He beat McCain, who couldn't beat Obama an unproven newcomer.

And before anyone gets real crazy about how the voters blew it in 2000 and 2004,
answer these two questions:
How did Gore do in '04 ?
and how did Kerry do in '08 ?
Like I said. Not much to beat there.

:) I'm glad I'm not a partisan ideolog. :tro:
Kerry was weak, but I still think Gore would have been a great President..

and huh? Gore won in 00 and '04 was...well..interesting

Yeah..but imagine if they had picked Edwards?

And I'll stand by Gore all day...whatever

SOREHOOF 03-25-2009 05:53 PM
Believe it or not I'd vote for Edwards over Kerry. I'd vote for Al Sharpton over Gore.
