No one thinks he's superman...I just wonder if he's even qualified to push the broom. That's the concern. Even his own VP says he's not ready.

Hi Rooster,
I followed your link to the thread, and then to GlobalEurope Anticipation. I then followed that to some of their predictions. One, made in March of this year, said that by the end of 2008. the Euro Dollar exchange would reach 1.75. Since July, when the rate was roughly 1.57, it has now dropped to 1.31 as of this morning, and continues to drop. The website is a propaganda machine for EU, and this "prediction" of theirs is an example of how wrong they are. I wouldn't worry about them. It seems that they didn't realize the obvious, that if the US had financial crisis, so would the rest of the world. As bad as the US crisis is, Europe's is worse. I take no joy in that, because we are all in the same boat, but E2020 doesn't seem to understand that.
Here is the link to their prediction:

And the typical American ignorance starts once again. Perhaps you should visit Michigan where factories close their doors every day, where mayors of cities need to do part-time jobs to make a decent living, and where more and more people get unemployment. If that's not in your vicinity, maybe you should visit LA and visit some tent camps. Another option is the construction companies and real estate brokers in Atlanta filing bankruptcy.

No such signs here, my friend. As a matter of fact, I live in a country with only 3.2 percent unemployment, the lowest in Europe. In the long term we will also start experiencing the consequences of American stupidity, and to some degree we already do. But in no way we are experiencing problems even slightly comparable to the degree Americans are. I can guarantee you that America is and will be hit hardest of all Western countries due to their own irresponsible practices.

When I joined ATS a couple of years ago, American nationalists (with no clue) used to call me an idiot for saying that this financial crisis would be coming. At the time everything was still normal, and these people ensured me nothing could harm the ''strongest'' economy in the world.

Let's see... where are they now? At least their mouths have been shut as the prediction has become reality.

But I will give you a try to elaborate. Why will the EU be hit harder than the US?


Truly sickening, the amount of Americans constantly bashing Europe.

This whole thing cracks me up!

How many of us here have said "It's coming", "Something is going to go down", "Big happenings ahead", and so forth?

WE know the near future is not going to be easy. BushCo (including McCain) have messed up our country and our relations with the world SO badly, that OF COURSE we haven't seen the full fallout yet. OF COURSE Obama is going to have challenges ahead and be tested. Every president is tested. But we're in interesting times. We're in the middle of an economic crisis.

Biden is just saying what he thinks. He's not a prophet, people. He's a Senator. He doesn't have any way of knowing any specifics of what Obama faces ahead. But I'll tell you what. Whatever is ahead, I'd rather have Obama and Biden dealing with it than an angry old man and a airhead beauty queen.


Here we go. I knew it would start sometime - the Obama crowd giving Obama's future screw ups a pass and blaming it all on the "inept Bush Administration". So every failure that happens in the Obama administration (if he wins) is going to be because of the remaining fallout from the Bush administration. It won't be Obama's fault huh? The MESSIAH, as Louis Farrakhan puts it, can do no wrong huh?

Amazing ignorance you're spouting there, BH. As much as you would like to believe it's true, the Bush administration did NOT screw up the country as bad as you might think. Contrary to what you might think, the economic situation we're in now started with Clinton easing banking restrictions on Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and it proceeded into the Bush administration. Granted, both Republican and Democratic congressmen have done a piss-poor job of overseeing those regulations, and THAT is what got us into this mess.

In fact, John McCain made an address to Congress in 2006 warning about Fannie/Freddie and nothing was done.

As for the rest of the world - why do we need to be concerned about kissing the ass of the rest of the world? Why is it so important that they like us? They're still going to do business with us, despite what they think of us. Venezuela is proof of that.

God, your posts are becoming more and more ignorant the closer we get to this election. You're drinking all the Kool-Aid that the Obama campaign hands you, and you slug it down without even bothering to look what's at the bottom of the glass.

It turns out the media was trying to cover this up for a while, but lost control. On top of that, Dan Rather says the media is treating this differently than they would if Palin had said it.

Check it out, even Dan Rather is admitting it.


newsbusters.org...
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Well, let us just say it's surprising, and I would just throw it back to you-all and tell you what the McCain campaign is saying this morning, and what a lot of Republicans, they're asking really a question: what if Sarah Palin had said electing John McCain would create an international crisis because of his age. Would that be above the fold on the front page of the New York Times, the Washington Post? Would that be a lead story? We've got somebody who's an expert in the media who I think, Mika, knows a lot better than we do, Dan Rather. Dan, talk about the double standard. Are there times that you would cover this story differently if Sarah Palin said it rather than Joe Biden? Not you, but the media.

DAN RATHER: Well I think the point is well taken, Joe, that certainly if Sarah Palin had said this it would be above the fold in most newspapers today.

Okay this is probally going to get some not so rave reviews but here goes:

Back the train up and pay closer attention to the dates!

Okay first of all what comes in in late January; preliminary profit reports from the HOLIDAY season the most profitable of all quarters!!!!! The one that props up small business and pumps money into every facet of our economys world wide.!Fair warrning its gonna suck bad.! ( iI used to run a biz and no matter how bad the first 3 quarters got, we could always depend on the 4th to pick things up just enough to keep us in biz!)

What has just happened here in the 3rd quater????? All the billions in bail outs world wide have done nothing but prop up the markets for a day or two at the most. Then its an up and down roller coaster while they sneek in and take over banks temporairily injecting money into the market. But in the end we end up back where we started. Stay with me here...

It will be totally evident by the near end of Jan 2009, that we are in a full blown "deep" depression and they will no longer be able to hide it.People who have not been prepared will FREEK OUT... and there will be civil unrest.

It doesnt have to be some gawd aweful terror attack to strike total fear into the hearts of people world wide. Tell them the "truth" that we are broke beyond belief and dont know what to do! We got rid of our food storage because people complained about how much it cost to keep it up, sorry there is no food for all you broke people. We no longer can pay the civil areas of state agencies, so we have to use the armed forces because they are under contract to protect you. (With or with out pay.)
Hello am I the only one who see's this coming?
Okay so he said one of five there is all five people.

Case to prove my point go look at the indice's: Monday saw them "soar" well now take a gander the money ran out look at the markets.....
