		<description>&lt;p&gt;hm.  interesting idea.  would not rule that out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of course, we’re not at odds here.  i was more addressing the advantage for obama in letting bush own things.  bush can continue to draw attention to his incompetence and idiocy while cheney sees to it that the nest is so ravaged they make out like the bandits they are, leaving obama overburdened and distracted from the theft.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but, despite their depravity, i continue to have faith that they’ll eventually get caught.  big time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and it will likely be europe forcing them to be tried for war crimes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;we can dream, can’t we?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Perhaps the market will go up if Bush tells them what a great job he’s doing!  Hey, it worked for a few years–why not a few more months?  Uh huh.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

If ya lie down with dogs yur gonna get up with fleas.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The financial crisis really was the October surprise.  If Congress fails to support the bail out Obama’s candidacy is at risk.  In supporting the the bail out Congress aids and abets one last raid on the treasury by the kleptocracy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once again Congress shows itself easily manipulated by the drum of beltway fear.  The boy who cried wolf runs off with the chickens again.  Is anybody home?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;IMF must have to glance in the mirror and ask if this is really happening, second world countries asking for more controls and oversight in international finance.  Reading press south of the border reveals funny anecdotes like Brasil’s president Lula worrying about the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.europapress.es/economia/macroeconomia-00338/noticia-economia-macro-presidenta-argentina-reclamara-washington-mas-espacio-economias-emergentes-20081113142215.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;solvency crisis&lt;/a&gt;, even Argentina’s President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner admitting some of the sheen has worn thru though her spouse exPresident of Argentina Nestor Kirchner’s remarks last month seem predictably &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.falklands.com/vernoticia.do?id=14801&amp;formato=pdf&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;utopian&lt;/a&gt;*.  Adding charm to a hampering strait, Fernández evoked memories of the MX financial crunch 14 years ago, and the Asian monetary crisis of recent memory, recoining a euphemism in her &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.casarosada.gov.ar/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=5017&amp;Itemid=66&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;UN speech in October 2008&lt;/a&gt; by referring to the US fiscal turmoil in the wake of Bush’s exit as ‘the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=28193&amp;Cr=general+assembly&amp;Cr1=debate&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;jazz effect&lt;/a&gt;‘.  One academic paints the image in mundane terms of what happens to savings and credit of individuals in historically volatile economies whose longterm refuge has been US denominated caches, a sequestration those lands’ upper middle class is witnessing &lt;a href=&quot;http://uicifd.blogspot.com/2008/09/argentineans-with-us-investments-wonder.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;evanesce&lt;/a&gt;.  Fernández’s view is UN needs to help with future oversight.  I think this is an incentive Bush wants to obfuscate but the clamor from abroad is more than his exiting profiteers have found possible to squelch.&lt;br /&gt;

*The linked document is 2 pp., and reads somewhat like Babelfish, as in @6, which is a rare occurrence on Laura’s site, though the transcript she posted likely is an official court document, so, appears with some pidgin passages.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;while waving his hands wildly toward desperate attempts at legacy, only to signal his delusions and fantasies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wish that I could see it this way, but I don’t. Here’s the problem: Bush isn’t completely stupid.  He surely knows that he’s in huge legal jeopardy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IMHO, Bush, Cheney, and the rest of these criminals have beaucoup motive to leave the biggest conceivable trashpit behind them.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The more energy and resources the Dems have to spend on damage and cleanup, the less time, skill, and resources they’ll have for dealing with the crimes of Bush43 and his cronies — including Blackwater, Halliburton, ExxonMobil, etc, etc, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’d wager it’s a deliberate strategy among those left in the WH.&lt;br /&gt;
It’s their only hope.&lt;br /&gt;
And they still have almost 3 months to ramp it up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, they really are that depraved IMHO.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hey, good to see you. (After your many insightful comments in the past, I can only conclude that whoever dissed you yesterday was really confused.)&lt;/p&gt;</description>
