      Tuesday Outlook: Commodities Due to Slow Down?
      I'm basically repeating something that I said yesterday in response to Paul Davis's article, where he stated that only 4% of CEO's see a recession in 08. To that, I said it doesn't jive with what I have been seeing in the retail stores for months, Sears, Penny, H Depot, the stores are empty- I mean empty. Which makes sense in light of everything else we know, job losses, homes that are going underwater, etc. So how do we equate the two views? Are the CEO's giving an overly positive outlook when asked? Is it a contrary indicator, that is, if the CEO's in mass believe it to be one way, it will be the other?

      Options Trader: Monday Outlook
      The idea that only around 4% of CEO's see a recession in 2008 is hard to fathom, because it is totally at odds with what I see in the housing market and in stores. Stores are devoid of customers. I'm talking about retailers like Sears, Penny, H Depot, and the like. And housing prices have much, much further to fall. Consumers can't go to this well to the degree they have done during the expansion. Perhaps CEO's give an overly rosey outlook when asked? Perhaps it is a contrary indicator, and the CEO's are simply wrong, in mass? Don't know.

      Injecting Accountability into the Credit Crisis
      This article is pretty much right on target. Especially where it states that the "economy as a whole has suffered to the benefit of the few", i.e. Paulson and wall street. Does anyone ever listen to Paulson speak? Reminds me of George Bush. Very poor speaker. Nothing is explained well. Paulson is way overrated as a fiscal expert. Anyway, the legacy of George Bush and company is the enrichment of their friends (tax cuts, increased spending, lax regulation, asset bubbles) and then pass the bill to our kids who will be crushed.

      Housing Bailout: Crony Capitalism Comes to America?
      To DrMalaka, you make some very valid points, but you are way too hard on the author, who made good points, 1) that we have a crony based system that benefits the few at the expense of the many, and 2) this system was actively encouraged in the last few years (by George Bush and friends) and these same people now wish to bail out these private investors. You say there is no bail out proposal. What has Paulson been saying? I say let everyone fail that should fail. You ought to question Bush and his "conservative&quo... congress that have set this country back 50 years. They did far worse than anything we saw in the last democratic administration. It is the legacy of George Bush- fund today's largess by passing the bill to our kids. What a disgrace.

      Thursday Outlook: The Inflation Con Game
      The veto is already the law of the land and can be used by one person. To my knowledge it has been the case since the founding of this nation. I am saying that the president should use it to contain the will of the people as exercised through congress when their are obvious excesses. But this president doesn't contain excesses, he adds to them. The invasion of Iraq was reckless, poorly planned and based on fraudulent data- the president's people telling him what he wanted to hear. It is well understood that this is the most closed administration in history, they force out people that don't see it their way, Paul O’Neill, Christy Whitman, Powell, and promote people that are incompetent or worse, but see it their way, Rumsfeld, Rice, Rove. They are a disgrace to our children who will inherit the problems that they have caused or added to. Any person who believes that George Bush has administered this country properly has to be a fool.

      To 86999, you did not give us any solution, yes, the veto is needed, because we know that the masses in Congress do not work collectively to achieve the best ends for the future, they seek to please the crybaby children in their districts with more entitlements. We need a person in the White House that is very intelligent, very discerning, and who is more concerned with the future than the masses in Congress. We need a person who can lead the masses in Congress to proper policies. You are correct to be worried about tyranny. It is a fine line between having a US president who leads us into the future and having a dictator/ president like Putin. Baby Bush has failed on all accounts. An earlier post said that his legacy will be "saving us from terror". Yes, he was right to hit the terrorists and the Taliban, then he recklessly invaded Iraq on his false data and increased terrorism. Some of us were afraid that the American people were electing a fool, and he proved us right. Not only is he a fool, he is reckless, driving the country over a cliff, denying science, pandering to extremist christians.

      You guys make me laugh, "why does bush get the blame", "clinton had a republican congress", remember the Bush quote on the big drug entitlement' "get the bill on my desk so I can sign it". He wanted it, he got it, he didn't fund it, he gave the bill to our kids. Period. The war, the same thing. Clinton did not ask for big entitlement spending like bush has. Ever hear of the term "veto". Bush didn't use if for four years. Reading comments like these, I see why the country is going down the drain if this is a sampling of what the public believes. What a shame for our kids.

      Is the Worst Behind Us?
      It will be a bit longer than "a quarter or two", I can tell you that with total confidence. Take a walk through the malls, sears, penny, walmart, circuit city or best buy. The places are empty. It actually has been that way for months, and worse in the last two months. People have no money to spend, they are worried about paying their mortgage, or rent.

      "Clinton and company" may have changed the formula, as you state, but please, some equal time. At least they held the line on spending. "Bush and company" have wrecked this country ten times over. The Bush legacy is to turn over the bill for today's problems to our kids. It is complete recklessness, and not enough is written about it.
