The market is not their "day job" and their worth is balanced by other investments worthy of a school teacher's daughter married to a fisherman and oil worker with a growing family.
I'll judge her on her record in Alaska and the unrehearsed exchanges with people not the Gotcha' moments during interviews.
What I find telling about Obama is his back peddling from the tax increases given our current state. McCain is either not getting good advise or shoots off his mouth just a tad too quick but over all I believe he's seriously got the countries best interests at heart.
Just think, do you really want Biden a heartbeat away from the presidency? Just to liven things up a tad more, we all know who's third in line, Dear Nancy P. THAT is an officially scary thought.
The rest looks like good choices in a volatile market. Todd worked for BP so those shares probably came with the job.
Someone should come out with a Palin ETF... or perhaps an Ultra-Short version?
Congress should Stand up to Bush for once, and leave things alone. And let those fat cats fix their
own corruptions.
Always heard the more you stirred in Sh_t ! The
more it stinks.
Forget the question of whether Palin or Biden a heartbeat away from the Presidency is a more frightening proposition. A Repubican colleague of mine, a Republican before that word meant neo-conservative, will not be voting for a Republican for the first time in his long life. His words: I can't think of a person (McCain) that I would least like to have the ability to launch nuclear weapons. He scares the livin' begeezus out of me.
This debate isn't about Sarah Palin, her experience, her portfolio or who handles her finances. It's about John McCain and his choices.
John McCain has demonstrated in the last few weeks a glimpse of that fear embdoied in my Republican friend's words. He saw our economy as "fundamentally strong" before he saw the need to suspend his campaign to save same economy, before he saw the need to attend the debate that he earlier had cancelled, before he saw the need to not suspend his campaign when the deal that he had sought to save the country had failed, but now it was OK to go ahead and confer with colleagues by phone when he criticized Obama for doing the same.
That's all politics, but illustrative of McCain's state of mind.
I could care less about Sarah Palin and her experience... fear John McCain.
Yeah, she's Joe Sixpack ..Just like our village idiot prez was a "great guy to have a beer with" ...Why won't the electorate ever learn ? We are in crisis mode and will be for years to come ..Moose stew just won't get it ....Apparently, a portion of the electorate will never get it either !
oh, i know you probably think that this must be the rant of some right wing nut. actually, i'm a live and let live kind of guy. after college, i was a social worker in the murder capital of the world, gary indiana. after law school, i spent twenty years running a medical practice. i spent years walking the streets of manhattan and i've listened to people from all walks of life, from all around the world.
take it from me: you cannot negotiate with crazy people, my friend. much as you want them to act sane, there are lots of irrational whack jobs out there. the only thing keeping them in check is fear of running into someone crazier than they are.
Anyways, Obama is corrupt and ambitious. Biden makes me lol. McCain is corrupt and jaded. Palin makes me lol. At the same time, my heart is filled with hope because W is on his way out.
