John McSameAsBush recommends making your living on Ebay.

[Ilsa]

He said the number of sellers is over one million. So if everyone is selling stuff on ebay, fewer will shop at stores and stores will have to lay off employees?

1. haha, McLames an idiot...nuff said...n/t

[CTyankee]

2. Did he really say that?

Dear god, and I thought W was bad. We got another just like him...

[Ilsa]

6. He said over a million people were making a living on ebay.

I suspect they are making a living if they only need grocery money, not mortgage or car payments or utilities or gas money!

[CTyankee]

10. What was his point, tho? That things are great? Isn't america wonderful?

I feel like I felt when W made his "federal cufflinks" remark. Still trying to figure that one out...

[Ilsa]

11. I guess everyone could make a living on ebay

"if they weren't so lazy" as W* said in his early days about poor people.

[CTyankee]

14. I thought so! Ugh!

Another monster brought into the spotlight.

This guy is such a loser. I cannot believe he thinks this stuff will elect him president.

3. I sell on eBay

and half the stuff I list either never sells or sells for a ridiculous low margin. Life ain't what it use to be on eBay, and I seriously doubt McSame even has enough brains to navigate the listing procedure, much less make a living on eBay.

8. Not to mention that eBay is making things more difficult for sellers

...trying to boost its Wall Street presence by raising prices to sellers and making the whole process less profitable...

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

15. I sell on eBay and I sell 99.9% of the time everything, but I'm in a specialized nitch. I'm not

getting as much as I had in the past except when the International bidders join in. Luckily they're out there and to them, with the sunken dollar, they're getting bargains.

4. So says the guy who's banging the heiress of the Hensley fortune.

Boy, he sure is in touch with all of the regular Joes of this country.

[Ilsa]

12. LOL. Yeah, he'll never be hosting a garage sale like the rest of us. nt

[Hawkeye-X]

5. I just sniped on eBay..

for a excellent laptop that we had our eyes on. Spent $600.01 - I'm sure the seller had VERY low margin - and he is a computer store himself.

9. Thanks A Lot!!

I had placed a $600 bid in that auction. Damn Sniper.


kidding....I snipe all the time.

[sinkingfeeling]

7. OMG, he really is channeling Bush!

"The entrepreneurial spirit has helped our economy keep pace with new technologies, and America is a leader in innovation. Twelve years ago, eBay did not exist. Today eBay is a global business that reported nearly $6 billion in net revenues last year. Hundreds of thousands of Americans now make part of their living by selling products on that website. EBay is an entrepreneurial success story that has helped thousands of Americans become entrepreneurs themselves." - G.W. Bush - Aug. 2007

13. nevermind.

16. Maybe this has something to do with it:Retiring eBay CEO Whitman named co-chair of McCain's campaign

Retiring eBay Chief Executive Meg Whitman is joining the presidential campaign of John McCain as a national co-chair. Whitman, who steps down from her eBay job at the end of the month, had been a major fundraiser for Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who dropped out of the Republican race last month.

Whitman is the second high-profile Silicon Valley businesswoman to land a key job boosting McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee.
Last week, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, who campaigned for McCain in the primaries, was tapped to lead the Republican National Committee's fundraising efforts to aid McCain's November campaign and will continue on the road touting his economic agenda.

"I'm honored that Senator McCain has asked me to become a part of his campaign," Whitman said in a statement. "America needs John McCain's courageous leadership."
Interestingly, both Whitman and Fiorina have been mentioned as possible GOP candidates for California governor in 2010. And both, no doubt, would be in line for influential Washington jobs should McCain win.

Karl Rove also said that a few years ago. I was looking for his quote when I ran across this tidbit.
