Please define economic growth. What terms are using to define it? I can only imagine you are conveniently tossing out the national debt in your analysis, if what you are thinking is worthy of the term "analysis".
Sure he could. But Americans might also be remembered for being stupider than they have ever been in their history right along with him, or at least the voting majority will be. But I am not discounting the effect of corrupt election practices nor even those computerized voting machines.
So many of you righties have an effigy of Carter in your mind you enjoy setting fire to when things dont go your way. More action than a security blanket I suppose. I cannot think of anything Carter did or could have done. The excuse you give Bush is far more applicable to Carter: There is nothing he could have done. Unlike the hostage crisis and the oil shocks, this crisis was both foreseeable and internal, which means it was much more preventable.
I could cite some polls on the rank of the Carter presidency, but why bother? So many people put Lincoln right up at the top, which just goes to show that so many don't much at all.

TonyUS, very interesting post. But you may want to give Ohians a break. I hear they have a lot of Diebold computerized voting machines. If they are dumb, the first stupid thing was trusting those things. But they are not the only ones.
Until you said it I had not thought about that. Good point.
We have seen it a million times.
If the bailout can keep things going well on paper until inauguration day, they will be blaming Obama if it falls apart again. Naturally they will change their story as time goes by to make the Repubs look good.

Hopefully after they have read the bill and weighed the potential good and bad effects. Two things that often do not happen among Congressmen.

All the comments about how the Congressman campaigning for president and VP should be in Washington doing their jobs, the jobs we pay them for, are interesting.
I am afraid all the King's horses and all the King's men are not going to put the economy back together again in the time space alloted. There are other things going besides this crisis, and one of those things is the impending election, now just over one month away. In other words, just around the corner.
The next president is going to have a long term effect on this crisis no matter what happens now. And personally, I would rather the best Congressmen trying to do what little they can about this, then just throw them all at the problem.
The next four years of leadership of our country is at stake. The three senators that situation revolves should be focused on that. Leave it to the other 97 senators and 435 representatives.

I hope they can avoid the traps other nations have fallen in with gun control. One of those is a glamorization of guns by talking about them too much.
I am not a fan of guns at all, but it seems to me that the road from little gun control to more can be very messy unless it is done very very carefully.

tkoind2 already said it, but it also seems McCain is trying to avoid the debate. And this is hardly a good excuse. For starters, Congress is full of other Congressman. Second, McCain has admitted all by himself that he is far on the left of the bell curve when it comes to economic issues, so its not like Congress really needs him to solve this, if it can even be solved, and more likely he would be a hindrance.
So, I wonder what all those who accused Obama of avoiding the debate will say now? As usual, only two choices: Complete silence or shouting with pointed fingers. Heaven forbid they reflect on past statements or admit a failure, or worse, admit that the other guy has a right to negotiate rather than accuse him of stalling. Those things get in the way of getting psyched up on sloganeering and believing your own side is right no matter what.

I was simply pointing out to you the fact that it is still possible the mother did it. You said she could not because she was at work. Faith that the police actually verified that she was in fact working is not very good proof. Witnesses would be better proof and the police have not told us there are any.
I have not contradicted the principle of "innocent until proven guilty". I think you may have focused too much on the word "innocent" while forgotten about the "proven guilty" part. Of course the mother cannot be said to be guilty at this time, but that does not mean she should not investigated.

Did you think they ran on sand? Or only work as soldiers after a full day at the office? Yes they need to be paid. Many probably have families or hope to one day.
Even soldiers of the continental army in the United State's War of Independence expected to be paid. Money is life.
Even our soldiers today expect to be paid.

Can you produce any witnesses to prove that claim? Can they give us times they actually witnessed the mother working?

Alright. Alright. All posts blaming pervs, pedos and anime here are premature. We still do not know who did this or why.
We just had a distraught mother kill her own little boy, and about ten years ago we had a mother a killed her neighbor's two year old because of frustration with the mother.
Sensationalism, hype and witch hunts are as dangerous and useless now as they ever were.

My thought exactly. But what set me on that track was this quote:
Dire warnings. Quickly approve. The same words were used in 2002 to get Congress to hand over the military to Bush.

Please stop wasting the time of the police. We were all born naked, shower naked, some sleep naked and if most people are like me, could be buck naked in 15 seconds flat if I felt the urge. Walking naked in the park is odd and technically illegal, but so are a lot of things.
You have far more to fear from people fully clothed, and considering the time of day, the perp here surely was when his crime began and ended.

Well, obviously the media is biased toward their own interests. Seems they are a little put off by not being able to ask questions. But they should show more professionalism and still write nicely despite the fact that asking questions is essential to their jobs.

Looking at the big picture, its still an anomaly.
But I do not believe it is either strict laws or even a lack of laws that gives us Finland's low rate of incidence of such crimes. It is a sense of community. Compared to that all laws or a lack of them is extremely weak at prevention. No sense comparing. None at all.

I would like to get that promise upgraded to revoking of citizenship. This guy and others are making a complete mockery of my country. They are so twisted I am beginning to think everything they say about themselves is one big lie, including their citizenship, cooked up to either get Obama in the White House or to thoroughly embarrass the U.S.A. I have not seen individuals this determined for war or actually gleeful about its prospects since the Nazi's.
SwiftBoat might leave the U.S.A. if the White House goes Democrat? I have one more reason to pray for an Obama victory.

The whole post spoken like a true chickenhawk. And actually coming out and admitting we destroyed Iraq. Tut-tut.
How about Israel shut up? Or you? Israel was talking about bombing Iran. The talk was clear. Iran responded. Its a war of words. Let it go. And stop embarrassing me and my country by acting like destroying Iraq was a deed remotely worth being proud of. It was a total embarrassment, and the failure of Americans like you to see what a mistake it was only adds to the shame. For pity's sake, learn a lesson. We do not need to do the same thing with Iran. We have no proof that are now making or even have the intention of building a nuclear bomb. And if they ever do, how do you think they are going to get it to the U.S. or Israel? Donkey cart?
So sit down and take a pill. We will be on top of them the second a test takes place. Until then they are in check, so let them talk.
And here is a fun history lesson: When the Russians tried to give Cuba nukes, the U.S. when nutz. Why? Because Cuba is right next door, that's why.
Now pull out a map and note the positions of Iran, India and Pakistan. Two of those countries have nukes, and one does not. And the one that does not is obviously on the short end of the stick. They might be a little worried and panicky. And as if that is not enough, note the position of Iraq and Afghanistan in relation to Iran. American has troops in both those counties, and we are not exactly a little hostile to Iran. Then you got Israel yelling "Hey batter, hey batter, hey batter, SWING!" from the peanut gallery.
We should all just thank our lucky stars the Persians are as patient as they are, because if it was full of hostile Americans like yourself, the world would be in the middle of WWIII by now.

At least 700 billion U.S. dollars are now officially socialist. Maybe capitalism has not passed, but it has lost an arm only to have a socialist one grafted on.
