That is the real QUESTION ! ?

And to BOB M's comment...."As long as a Republican sits in the White House it will be a good time
to buy cards as the economy is going in to the toilet"

Hey Bob, the DOW dropped 2800 pts. on Sept 12th 2001 to 8500. Subsequently, I guess George
Bush must of did something right....since the DOW eventually climbed to 14,000 by 2006.

Then the Democrats took over Congress in 2007.....and it's been DOW-nhill since then; and, Gas
prices went up above $4.00.

So, don't give us this crap about Republicans. It was the Democrats like Barney Frank, Chris Dodd,
and Franklin Raines (Clinton's buddy) that defended the sleazy lending practices of FREDDIE MAC
and FANNIE MAE that has resulted in the financial crises that we are currently in.

Both George Bush and Fed. Chairman Greenspan in 2003 warned these two Companies to correct
the way they were conducting their business. So, let's get the facts straight,we are in this mess
because of political patronage by a handful of sleazy Democrats and their influence on irresponsible
lending practices by FREDDIE MAC and FANNIE MAE (and other lending institutions).

And, now the idiots in Washington want a 700 Billion "bailout"......I say take this 700 Billion and
distribute it amongst the 50 Million Homeowners in order to help them with their Mortgages and
their expenses......instead of the politicians and the failing Banks.

That would result in each Homeowner getting 14,000......now that's a deal everyone would be
happy about.
