Alright, who let the cat out of the bag?? How did he ever find out about our secret "conspiracy"?

Is he serious? I know he has been saying this for a while, but he's acting like this is breaking news or something! Make what you will of this thread, I just had to get that off my chest. Does he plan on doing anything aside from telling us over and over that we are in a crisis? IMO I think they have done enough damage and should just let it alone and see what happens.. Thats just my opinion though. Since he started talking the Dow has gone down.. He has such a way of comforting his people don't he?

And now he is stating that this "isn't a government take over".. Well, coulda fooled me.

Whats your take?

Hrm...

If there is nothing to worry about, then why is he reassuring us this is "not a government takeover"?

I smell BS lol. Apparently he thinks that America still trusts its politicians if they say something on live TV.

I'm surprised he didn't manage to fit "terrorists" in with the economy. That seems more his speed.

The United States of Haliburton is well underway

Good sense always tells me to take whatever George W. Bush says and assume the exact opposite to be the truth.

Take that however you wish.

I just don't understand why he is even mentioning a government takover

I just read on another thread that the gov. officials from the EU and the US are meeting this weekend to discuss a world currency.. And the source was from yahoo.. something really fishy is going on here IMO.

Do you have a source for that? I am not saying that I don't believe it...I believe that rubbish would fall out of his mouth. Also on one of the other threads I am trying to get people to start petitions in thier area, call congressmen, call/email friends, whatever it will take that may not work but we will atleast have tried something.

It is my belief that he is going to screw us over yet again with trying to encourage that it's all okay. I feel a vasaline investment is in order

You know what he said after 9/11? "do not believe the conspiracy theorists" So when he says 'we are not taking over' you know what it means. It's getting so obvious it would be funny if we were not getting screwed so hard.

yeah , Ok now its official it is a government take over, just like they had Weapons of mass destruction, and mission accomplished...

Yeat amonth ogo it was "the economy is strong"

When are people going to wake up to the fact that all government does no matter if its dems or republicans, they just grow government bigger abd bigger..

I saw part of this speach and he made it clear that this was not a government take over.. well im calling there bluff this is a government take over..

Why he was compel to come out and say that?

Well because dip inside the one thing that any government fear from its people is a civil unrest, our for the people government is actually very afraid that we the people will March to Washington and demand their heads.

See, even how much power the people still hold.

Well, technically, he is correct. It's not a Gov takeover, it's a Central Bank takeover.

Remember it is Federal Reserve Bank Intervention happening, and the Federal reserve bank is no more a Federal entity than Federal Express

Yea, I wasnt too crazy about his speech. BUT I believed him when he said that if those big companies were left to fail, our financial system would collapse.

Now here is my opinion on that.

Let it.

I think more and more people have been buying local everything. They have made the conscious choice to buy from small businesses rather than the big dogs. Right down to what banks they want to be associated with. Looks like me made an impact after all.

My guess is that this turn away from the big corporations doesn't go over too well with the government... any of them.

WE the people are at war with corporate America.

Thats what I'm saying. It was all the usual.. Bailout, crisis, yada yada yada.. Then he comes out with the gov. Takeover line and I suddenly found myself listening lol. Its not like he ever says anything different. He just rewords his last speech. But that.. That was out of the ordinary to me.

A star for you sister!!!!!!!!!!!!! the fight of corporate America against the people of this nation started during the Nixon era, cemented during Reagan and the take over is happening now under bush.

Now we the people are in war with them once they took our for the people government and turned into a pool of corruption and greed they think that they do not have to answer to the citizens of this nation.

I think Bush and his cronies are very afraid of what this nation citizens may do.

K I like your name and your avie, odd he would even bother to say it out loud you know??? Must be all the web bot stuff coming up when you type in 'bailout', lol, that said now that he has spoken, I am very concerned about this being a gov. takeover...

reply posted on 17-10-2008 @ 09:06 AM by mrsdudara

Not only are we at war with them, but we are WINNING!!!

The small banks are refusing to accept this money. They dont need it. The government can pump as much $$$ as they want into these big companies. WE dont want to be associated with them. WE dont have to do business with them if we dont want to. Considering they depend on the consumer, that means they WILL fail.

It does not matter what type of currency the world governments say is best for us to use. WE do not have to use it, and WE do not have to give it to the big corporations.

We DO have a choice.
