<<Right...you were an Obama supporter from the get go.> Sir you be shameless LIAR--- that is why i have you on ignore.(i respond only when i note a SHAMELESS response--this the 2nd time i have had to to do this with you---your a slippery worm, yes you are,Sir.) And here is PROOF BIG TIME that you are a Bloody Damned LIAR. i even put up this thread before the election this the link, the below introductory text. My post you responded to, i am being totally honest about my views--honesty is something you can NOT handle.Mr.McMannis,sir. Be Free: Don't Vote FOR either Obama or McCain Moderated By: otherthan -- (Moderated) -- Started: 7/25/2008 1:53:24 PM Update 11/04/2008 My SWAG: Based on the polls and the Electoral Count calculations McCain should be giving his concession speech about 11.30pm and Obama his vicory speech by 11:45p.m. and this thread will be closed. i will then create a "Beware The War Party Thread--be alert" that will involve injustice and world events in general and the SICKNESS of War and a world seemingly determined for marching itself into its own self created Hell. UPDATE 10/18/2008 i want it known that though i will NOT be voting in this election, i find i have nothing BUT SEVERE NEGATIVE REACTION for near all people that will be voting for McCain as i utterly/deeply dislike that man. My adversion to Obama is based on his loyalties to war and militarism and , yes, he is just another politician,imo--history will speak later. But i remind, Obama opposed the war against Iraq NOT! on moral grounds but ONLY that he thought it stupid. He has never addressed the EVIL of The Iraq Invasion and all the war crimes we have committed since arriving in Iraq. He has shone NO sensitivity to the The Crime of the invasion and occupation of Iraq. i do NOT believe he gives a damn about our annihilating that country. This is why i will NOT vote for Obama, but nonetheless, Obama supporters i find but imperfect to my high morality demands(o i am a stickler:), but i , in the main do NOT dislike them, in fact,like a more common experience actually(unless they are sylvester80:) i believe many Obama supporters have higher ideals than Obama himself, again history will speak.Max---- 10/18/2008 Just read in Harpers it estimates 95million eligible voters will NOT be voting. Most common reason? Just disgust with politicians/politics. ************************************************************************************ President Gas , dynamite video to dynamite song written prophetically by Richard B in 1982.(link below) We KNOW that Obama is already in the Ruling Class Fold, so if he became President you need ONLY replace Bush in this video with Barack Obama(McCain is alreay in the video). You Obama supporters are as clueless as turkey's before Thanksgiving. Be Free Don't Vote for Obama and Don't vote McCain. Demonstrate you are NOT of the Sheeple. That you comprehend what it is to be an individual and NOT a stupid digit in an imperialistic militarist machine, it be just another Roman Empire, that comes and goes, tossed into the trash bin of history. This the most B.S. election in U.S. history. This country is to hell going and likely to take whole world with it because of all that support The One Party: The War and Oil Party SHEEPLE. A vote for either McCain or Obama is for rank militarist imperialism and to make such a vote would define the voter for what he really is--you are what you vote.Period youtube.com He played his video game night and day. The MAZE of Death. But that is the game we all are in, the trick, don't believe it.Get above it all and imagine nothing is what it seems.Kill the machine.Gone1001 p.s.

Who nominated bernanke? October 24, 2005 Bush Nominates Bernanke to Succeed Greenspan as Fed Chief By EDMUND L. ANDREWS WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 - President Bush today nominated Ben S. Bernanke, a senior White House adviser and a highly regarded academic economist, to succeed Alan Greenspan as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. If confirmed by the Senate, Mr. Bernanke, 51, will assume the most powerful economic post in the United States - and arguably the world - with a promise to continue the basic policies of a man who achieved a nearly mythic reputation during 18 years at the helm of the economy. At the same time, however, Mr. Bernanke indicated today that he wanted to nudge the Fed away from Mr. Greenspan's highly personal approach to guiding monetary policy and toward a more predictable and open approach. The long-awaited announcement prompted cheers from economists, support from lawmakers in Congress and a jump in stock prices on Wall Street. In nominating Mr. Bernanke, Mr. Bush may also have won a temporary respite from the storm of criticism over his nomination of Harriet E. Miers to the Supreme Court. Mr. Bernanke's nomination was in many respects the economic equivalent of Mr. Bush's nominating John Roberts for chief justice of the Supreme Court: a candidate with sterling academic credentials, no taint of cronyism and a sphinx on key political issues. "Ben Bernanke is the right man to build on the record Alan Greenspan has established," Mr. Bush said in a brief statement at the Oval Office with Mr. Bernanke and Mr. Greenspan at his side. Mr. Bernanke noted that the Fed would "continue to evolve" in the years ahead. But in a bid to soothe anxieties in financial markets, he emphasized his intention to preserve "continuity." "My first priority will be to maintain continuity with the policies and policy strategies during the Greenspan years," Mr. Bernanke declared. A former professor of economics at Princeton University and a former Fed governor, Mr. Bernanke is a leading authority on monetary policy but a comparative outsider to partisan politics and ideological warfare. At Princeton, he was a prolific author and a long-standing advocate of greater openness at the Fed. But he wrote and said almost nothing about perennial Republican goals like tax cuts and the overhaul of Social Security. As a Fed governor, from 2002 to earlier this year, he openly disagreed with Mr. Greenspan on at least one issue - whether the Fed should set public inflation targets - but he forged a close working relationship with Mr. Greenspan, whose views Mr. Bernanke strongly influenced on a number of issues. "It's a wonderful appointment," said Kenneth Rogoff, a professor of economics at Harvard University, who worked with Mr. Bernanke at Princeton. "The whole economics world is cheering about it." Mr. Bernanke has weaker political ties to Mr. Bush or to Republican leaders than the other two candidates mentioned most frequently for the Fed: Martin Feldstein, a professor at Harvard and a former adviser to President Ronald Reagan; and R. Glenn Hubbard, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers during President Bush's first two years in office. People close to the White House say that Mr. Bush's closest advisers were always lukewarm about Mr. Feldstein. Some never forgave him for criticizing budget deficits under President Reagan while he was one of Mr. Reagan's top advisers -- an act of disloyalty that would be a major offense in the current Bush administration. Administration officials were also worried about Mr. Feldstein's ties to AIG, the troubled insurance conglomerate. Mr. Feldstein was on AIG's board of directors, and he is director of the National Bureau of Economic Research, which received money from an affiliate of AIG. Mr. Hubbard was an architect of Mr. Bush's tax cuts in 2001 and 2003, but people close to the administration say he never had a close personal rapport with the president. Mr. Hubbard also had his own reservations about moving back to Washington, according to those who knew him. Although relentlessly supportive of Mr. Bush's economic policies, Mr. Hubbard remained aloof when Mr. Bush began to promote the need for a sweeping tax overhaul. Mr. Bernanke owes his rise in Washington in part to Mr. Hubbard, who urged the Bush administration to name Mr. Bernanke as a governor on the Federal Reserve in 2002. Despite his being a newcomer in Washington, Mr. Bernanke quickly asserted himself as an authoritative voice on the Fed, speaking out on a wide range of topics but avoiding clashes with either the White House or Mr. Greenspan. "I think it's a good appointment," said Senator Richard Shelby, Republican of Alabama and chairman of the Senate Banking Committee. Mr. Shelby said he hoped to complete hearings on Mr. Bernanke's nomination, and perhaps a confirmation vote by the full Senate, by the end of this month. Senate Democrats, while praising Mr. Bernanke's credentials as an economist, signaled that they would grill him about his support for President Bush's economic policies. "We need a careful, non-ideological person who understands that the Federal Reserve's main job is to fight inflation, and Ben Bernanke seems to fit that bill," said Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York, a member of the Senate Banking Committee. But Mr. Schumer also warned that Mr. Bernanke's support for additional tax cuts was "troubling" and that "the Federal Reserve chairman's voice for fiscal restraint and moderation will be much-needed."
