When America wakes up tomorrow and hears about the financial crisis escalating......

[scheming daemons]

it will move big numbers to Obama.


Silver lining, I guess.

1. will the media really report the facts, or sugar coat it as usual to keep the sheeple sleep

can they sugar coat this or is it just too massive to deny or subvert?

[Kittycat]

3. Sugarcoat it. They don't want to be accused of pushing a run.

[Zynx]

4. This one can't be sugar-coated.

This is a real disaster of epic proportions.

[NoQuarter]

2. He'll have to fix it.

And no one will like the medicine.

That's one poison pill.

6. He gets to be the new FDR.

That's REAL hope for all of us!

And Michelle gets to be the modern-day Eleanor. Won't THAT be something?

[scheming daemons]

9. Um... wrong..... the BEST time to become President is when the previous guy sucked.... ask FDR

ask Reagan.


It's like becoming head coach of a team that went 0-16 the previous year.

Win 2 or 3 games, and you're a hero.



Expectations low..... minor results get magnified.

12. But the really dark times won't occur until after Obama's in office.

And there's a real possibility that many people will blame him, and all the Democrats.

Whoever's holding the bag will be stuck with it.

5. The media will blame Congress

You know, the Democrats.

[Zynx]

8. For....what? What have they done to cause this?

[ticapnews]

11. Details...details...

Sure the law was passed nine years ago when the GOP was in charge and only one Democrat voted for it, but do you honestly think that will stop them from blaming "Congress"? At the very best, I expect most media to blame both parties equally. This will not be blamed on the GOP. If I had any money left to gamble, I'd bet you on that :P

10. The Democrats...

...who have held the most fragile of bare majorities for the first time in many years, and every one of whose efforts were blocked by reTHUGs?

Help get us a 60% Democratic majority in Congress, and we can get things done!

7. So, you're suggesting that a lot of Americans will be pulling their money out of banks tomorrow?

Is that the general idea?
