Ah talk at coffee shop

[nadinbrzezinski]

Morgan Stanley has an office right by the place where I at times go to get some coffee and write in the morning

So I am in line and this trader is there, young kid, barely out of college... I had to get away from the teevee.... I expected the crash... but it is like when you expect a relative who's been sick for years to die, it is still shocking nonetheless

So the kid, he is in his 20s, is complaining about Obama... I know unbelievable.

I said... well come November you have two choices

You can elect McHoover or the other guy

He turns and says... what that damn democrat?

Tell me kid, where is your company right now? He looked shocked (Yes he was carrying the binder with the training materials, he's a new hire)

I will not be too shocked if YOU get a pink slip by the end of the week, dropped 30% in the course of the morning....

He looks even more shocked

Then he said, but his plan to tax all of us...

BULLSHIT... McHoover will keep us on this disastrous course, and will assure ANOTHER great depression. And unless YOU are in the top 5%, assuming you have a job come November, you will get a tax cut. Now you can choose to vote for McHoover, and go through another great depression, or vote your economic interest.

He then said... it is McCain

BULLSHIT, when he quotes President Hoover in the midst of the Great Depression in 1930... he fits the monicker, he IS McHoover and you think Palin will be able to do a thing to correct any of this if she should inherit the mess?

The kid's face had that look of wheels grinding to a halt... at which point I gave him my parting shot... IT IS THE ECONOMY STUPID... you can choose to vote the economy or be stupid about it.

The folks behind the counter where just chucking away... I know nervous laughter... and all, but still

[hedgehog]

1. At least with Obama, you'll have an income to tax!

[Muttocracy]

3. What a great line! nt

[SeattleGirl]

5. Oooooooh, well said!

:applause:

[Vincardog]

2. IT IS THE ECONOMY STUPID...

[YOY]

4. I knew so many MBAs like this kid in Grad School

They've got nothing to support their arguement...reminds me of Idiocracy: "It's got electrolytes! Brawndo is what plants crave!"

The dumbest ones were always from Utah...

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. They're about to get a crash curse in reality

Oh and Morgan Stanley is on the line now... FUCK

[WeDidIt]

10. WaMu will be in the toilet within a week or two.

Watch for J.P. Morgan Chase soon after that.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Why am I reminded so much of... 1929 and dominos?

I worry bout parents, to be honest, worry sick about them

[YOY]

12. And I hope my face suddenly comes to their mind if it does.

I hate to be the asshole and I have nothing to gain from it happening but I could finally say "TOLD YOU SO!"

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. Oh com'on you cannot say I was that nice to that kid today

lordly....

[YOY]

15. 2 Questions.

Did you actually counter with a strong "BULLSHIT"?

Were you in uniform when you did it? (I'm not too sure if you were retired or not but I'm pretty sure you're military or at least intel from past conversations.)

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. Yes, I used bullshit...

and have not worn anybody's uniform for over ten years

I was a medic for the Mexican Red Cross (seven of which were in the army reserve) for ten years.

But I've been out of any uniform for a while...

[codjh9]

7. Good for you in trying to educate the punk

[Yavin4]

9. Reality Will Educate That Kid

There are thousands of his ilk literally on the streets looking for work. No way he holds on to that job through the end of the year. No way.

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. End of week? Rumor has it that his company will go to chinese bank now

it is getting weird

[uppityperson]

8. Obama will only tax you if you make over $20 thousand a MONTH. Do you?

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Oh god is this getting close to Bush's point?

[vanderBeth]

17. put that kid in his place

:yourock:

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. Sadly he will continue to vote republican... I can count on it

[vanderBeth]

20. If he really that stupid

let him vote for somebody that would destroy him.

At least you told him the facts.

[girl gone mad]

19. These dopes are so brainwashed.

Talking "taxes".

Ask him what he thinks inflation is? It's a hidden tax we all pay when the government prints money like it's going out of style.

[LeftinOH]

21. In my early twenties, I was also a smarty-pants know-it-all (and a Republican)...

thank goodness that the passage of time -and the real world- have cured me.

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. He's about to get that lesson in spades

but I don't think it is too ready to accept it

[Javaman]

23. the repuke dream is bursting before their eyes.

when it effects their wallet they suddenly get panicky.

Now is the time for us to really speak up.

They are like raw meat easy for the tenderizing. :evilgrin:

[nadinbrzezinski]

24. Hey brother can you spare a dime? I wonder when we'll start

seeing suicides, and I am not kidding there

[TxBlue]

26. That's what happened to me to come to the light

I could drink koolaid with the best of them. When panic hits the streets, people will rethink, trust me.

We did better financially when clinton was in but I didn't like him - still don't like stuff but just got worse with BushED - like offshoring. Now with Bush, the only other tight financial time was the old bush.

Anyhoo when you look at historical economic wellbeing, dems hit it out of the park.

It's always the economy, stupid, for me from now on.

[TxBlue]

25. Great post. That kid may rethink it if he loses his job

Love McHoover

McPain, McNasty, McStupid, nah

McHOOVER

Is absolutely PERFECT!

[nadinbrzezinski]

27. Welcome to DU... and remember thankfully John Sidney McCain

[Venceremos]
