The Obama Put
GET RICH QUICK
Re: Daniel Oliver's Selling
Obama Short:
I've been a professional trader/investor for 50 years. Right now, I don't want to be long or short BHO or the stock market. And, I'm not a fan of savings accounts or corporate or municipal bonds.
I've found a place to hole-up and have invested in gold, guns, and gin -- I'll be ready once the socialists get tossed out.
It's the 3 G's for me!
-- Jack Hughes

George Soros’s recent apocalyptic statements about the world
economy prompted much speculation about what, exactly, it was he
was shorting. Perhaps, now we know.
-- Jerry Shenk
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
"If Barack Obama were a stock, would you be buying or selling?” Thanks for the laugh.
By the way, if I still had a stockbroker and he/she were to
mention such junk stock, that'd be the last bit of advice I'd be
taking from him or her.

If Obama were a broker selling stock in America, would you buy
it?

IN THE WINGS
Re: Quin Hillyer's
Jindal's Perpetual Potential:
As Governor of California, Ronald Reagan raised taxes, signed the
most liberal abortion law in US history (a harbinger of Roe v.
Wade), grew state government.... As president he promised to
shrink government, but created the Veteran's Affairs bureaucracy,
grew the Departments of Energy and Education, expanded the
Commerce Department and SBA, massively raised Federal taxes 7
times, spent like a Democrat and increased the national
debt. The fact is no politician is perfect, but as many
conservatives are discovering after years of disparaging
President Bush and Republicans in Congress the Democrat
alternative is far worse.
-- Michael Tomlinson
Jacksonville, North Carolina
I've watched Bobby Jindal for some years and marked him as a
potential presidential candidate from the day I saw him. You
wonder if he is ready to lead? I think he was ready years ago and
his readiness so outstrips what we now have in the White House
that it is ridiculous to even attempt to compare. The only
area in which Obama excels is in his speech style, which was
trained in the best environment; the black church, with black
preachers who are the masters of persuasion and glorious
rhetoric. Jindal, in contrast, speaks to the realities of life
and true conservative principles. He has actually accomplished
things, worked with real budgets and actualized his visions.
Obama can't claim any of that, since the presidency is his first
real job. I would love to have seen the
Obama's personal budgets over the years to see if they even
managed that very well. The way things are going, I don't think
he has much perspective on reality. He is operating on a "buy it
on the credit card" basis.

NOT THE BRIGHTEST BUNCH
Re: Chris Robling's The
Chicago 360:
I think the senate should get its own house in order before spending anymore time crucifying Senator Burris.
The list of crooks, both Democrat and Republican in both houses is too long go into here. Many (if not all) of our problems have been caused by crooked politicians forcing banks and other corporations to do their bidding. Their interference caused the problem and beware of getting between one of them an a TV camera when they come out to swear that they are innocent (Frank, Dodd, Reid to name just a few). They are all quick to fix the blame on anyone but themselves. Remember the old adage: "figures don't lie but liars figure!"
At times I feel that if one were to take the IQ's of all members of congress and add them together, you still wouldn't have the IQ of an idiot. Case in point: A trillion plus dollar stimulus (read spending and pork) bill passed by the congress before it was published and before any member could read it.

Happened again... reading a thoughtful comment and said to meself, "self, sounds like David Bonn again." Scrolled down, and, yup. Thoughtful and well done; Mr. Molyneaux too. Good work, gents. A great way to start the day (along with that Santos coffee from Brazil).

Finally, with Jindal we have a leader on the national stage, not an empty styrofoam Greek column Obama poser.
Bobby Jindal is one of a very few truly brilliant people who have ideas that work and have proven to do so. He has more smarts in his socks than Obama has in his pretend sentimental idiotic "dreams."
Jindal is a man of principle, not politics; a man with an ethical and moral center, not "above my pay grade" - "I screwed up" - "I won" pureile whining; a leader, not a facilitator; a person of action, not staging; someone who believes in the power of America and Americans, not the power of government; a man of purpose, not empty promise.
Bobby Jindal has actually served the America he leads, not just taken from it for personal gain.
Jindal and other young Republicans such as Cantor and Ryan finally give me some real hope.
Obama couldn't lead a dog to a fire hydrant, but he can put dogs in a "study group" and teach them to bark.
Jindal is real, a leader who has proven himself through his actions, someone we can actually trust and someone who delivers, not the solipsistic pathetic frat brat elitist race baiting welfare Chicago thug wind blower we now must endure.
I didn't listen to Obambi's speech because he never says ANYTHING anyone can trust - NO SUBSTANCE, just dissembling equivocation. Obobo's a master of deceit, but I did listen to Jindal because he not only speaks with substance, he delivers it. Jidal is a real man with a passion to serve his country, not just himself.

Hey, I'm first to admit, I know less than nothing about computer-speak (was probably two years before I found out what that stupid "LOL" meant; no loss), but, who or what is this Pingback, huh?
Fragments of stuff, relating to what (Obama's health/food?), I sure don't know... and I'm not any too inclined to investigate. Superfluous wasted space? Probably not. Yet, if anyone can offer some kind of explaination, okay. Otherwise, I'll just blithefully skip on by, thank you...

pingback marks articles for the web. like if you type in "frost, amspec", it will be marked as per certain articles.
or so i'm told.
i only know what i'm told.
frost| 2.26.09 @ 12:20PM
That's what I mean... "amspec?"
And, "will be marked" -- for what?
There again, I have 850-some different folders in my computer thingy, all kinds of subjects......
Used to keep notes on a variety of topics as proof, or to be able to offer substantiation when I was doing call-in talk shows on radio stations a few years ago, a habit I continue to continue, even though I have no idea of ever suspending a joyous "retirement" -- the computer makes it easier to "file" - - - IF I'm able to remember what I filed stuff under.....

Page 51 of "Atlas Shrugged" seems to illustrate a lot of the problems we have today: the wimpy lack-of-guts/courage, and (ugly) ability to rationalize 'way too much while "blaming the other guy." Then, get the government involved for "fairness" and you have Terminal Political Correctness -- and the book was written 50-some years ago, published in '57. Kinda like Orwell, ahead of her time - - and we have not yet bugun to pay (much less even recognize) the price(s) we'll be paying. It's goin' to get baaaad, and I fear that there's not a hell-of-a-lot we can do about it -- we're simply outnumbered by neo-Marxists and those who demand "Something for Nothing." It's sick.

Christian Jordal,
You seem to lack a basic understanding of the english language in misunderstanding what "he failed to pay all of his taxes" means. Mr. Ferrara did not say Daschle did not pay any of his taxes, just that he did not pay ALL OF HIS TAXES which his sweet ride around corruption riddled DC fell under. This is a relatively simple concept that anyone with a beginning reading comprehension level show understand. Mr. Ferrara does not presume his readers to be stupid but you certainly showed yourself to be so. I don't really buy that you are an independent voter either but I do get the impression that many so-called independent voters lack basic intelligence and are easily manipulated so you may very well fall in that category.
Todd| 2.26.09 @ 4:36PM
Should understand not show, sorry. At least I can realize my mistake and correct it though I will make sure to proofread before posting again.
