    Like Oprah? She's bulky. sometimes.

    You quote the 'fact', but don't back it up. I suspect any bill with this much in it will have earmarks of some kind, but with the scrutiny involved on this, I'm guessing they are standard, if not less than so. I don't know, I'm not quoting facts, or claiming to either. Further, Republican input was sought on this from my understanding. I doubt Rush, the leader of the GOP, would let them say so now, but what I understood was that Obama sought, and got, GOP input on this (and even a few votes, if I'm not mistaken).

    But maybe I'm mistaken. I'm sure you'll say so.

    The comatose patient's vitals were strong compared to what he showed after he died.

    Once the market hits bottom, I think everyone should buy stocks like there is no tomorrow.

    We are closer to the bottom now than when we first begun.

    You know what I always say, a recession is an investment opportunity.

    Sincerely,

    Mitt Romney

    Just because people voted for Bush for a second term doesn't make them stupid TJ.

    Mitt would know what to do to bring us out of a recession. He's competent, unlike our current guy.

    Hum....

    Romney's competent enough to bring us out of a recession?

    Problem is he wasn't competent enough to get elected.

    go figure

    Thats what they said at 9k and 8k and again at 7k. There are still more loses to write down. The economy over the last few years were fueled by American spending, and with unemployment getting worse its not getting better.

    4 years later - - this would have been a very good investment.

    Stocks week of 3/3/2009 = lowest point in 20 years

    Today = all time high

    I hope the trader didn't miss the boat
