HP fined $55 million: carly CEO; plus now SEC investigation of illegally influencing Russian purchase of HP products under carly: Some call it bribery. Ethics: who needs em: millions more important.
She'll consider YOU as a trespasser if you've been unemployed, section 8, or on disability over a period of time and want you out of CA or be subject to death row. She wants ALL seniors KILLED. How more block-headed can a state be? Triple standards.
HP Employees should go to EVERY SINGLE debate her vs. Boxer & shout her down! It's payback time b-tch and payback will be Hell on Earth yeaaaaaah! I tell ya God is good, he let's you put these cockroaches to the fire and see them burst.
This woman has completely demeaned the accomplishments of all female candidates and office holders with her mean-girl snarky comment about Senator Boxer's hair. Wow! I am stunned by her arrogance and her stupidity. But what the heck! Thank you Carly for reassuring our WONDERFUL Senator Boxer's re-election! HAHAHAHA!!!!
I also worked at HP when Carly Fiornia became CEO. She was absolutely horrible. Anyone who worked there will tell you the same thing. She ran that company down and nearly destroyed it.
She's right. Obama and Biden cannot run a big business company but they can run a country. The thing is Carly CANNOT run a country nor a big business company. Because of her stupidity and greed for power, she have cost tens of thousands to lose their jobs, ruin the company and yet she escaped with a big fat pay cheque, cowardly using the "shareholders decision" reasoning. She should just return this money to all the people she fired. Otherwise, bad karma will remain with her for life.
Neither can you Bastard****You good ole incompetent boys couldn;t manage HP but SHE MADE IT THE POWERHOUSE IT IS TODAY*****You have CARLETON ENVY***********GO FLUSH YOURSELF****************LOSER**********
And she can? hmmm, I wonder if she realizes that she's fired. Just because she was good for a while as a CEO does not mean she will be good at being President. Just like Sarah Palin can't run a company she can't be president. She should stick with what she knows, but of course now that shes fired she wants to start in politics.
Carly Fiorina engineered the IPO of Lucent, the single most successfil IPO in history at that time. She also saved HP during the dot-com bust, by doing the impossible, the merging of HP with Compaq. She knows how to "think outside the box", for sure, and it is OBVIOUS that those who say she could not run a corporation are terribly misinformed. Stop the partisanship nonsense and be intellectually honest.
She is Absolutely Right AND all those negative comments about HER sound like Carleton ENVY***Wow you go Baby YOU should have been nominated not McCain! She will be the next Woman President of the USA*****
And it was OBVIOUS Carly Purina that YOU COULDN'T RUN A CORPORATION. Absolutely pathetic. Does Carly's opinion really warrant newscast material? Not hardly. Take your millions you got from your parachute escape from HP, Carly, and go talk to your maid. We've all heard quite enough from you about ANYTHING. Ruined Lucent, destroyed the HP Way, and now she's talking about the nation?????
carly represents the globalist wing of the party.The rockefeller wing,if you will.Mccain is the leader of this movement with a goal to destroy the conservatives,remove the borders, and outsource every job in america.
I worked for 3 years under this woman @ HP. People from the company went to her town hall meetings to challenge her on her views of how she was running things. I shit you not. Employees couldn't wait for her to leave.
She is no leader and is a horrible judge of what one should be.
Carly Fiorina is a total F'ing failure! She helped Rich McGinn run Lucent Technologies into the ground. But before the total implosion she bailed, cashed out her stock and went to HP. There she was removed by the BOD before she wrecked that company too. Besides helping run LU into the ground she also got this bullshit diversity training implemented. How in the world did this utter failure get hooked up with McCain?
These comments caused Carly to go "poof". I can't imagine what she was thinking. And since she was recently canned herself from running a major company, she probably should have used a different analogy.
Interesting. John McCain, Sarah Palin, Barack Obama, Joe Biden AND Carly Fiorina....all people who are incapable of running a major corporation.
Very telling, by the way, that McCain would hire this horrible excuse for a business person as an advisor...wonder how many people she put in the poor house before being fired and given one of those 'executive' separation packages?
The dislike I have for this woman runs as deep as it possibly could. She is what is wrong with business today.
We should work to have a president who can run a company otherwise we are stuck with political puppets who think there is an endless amount of magic money at their disposal.
...and now suddenly, Carly is out of the picture. Sounds like McCain threw a tantrum and used the same words that he used on his wife..."get out of here you c--t!!"
What a nit wit. I notice she conveniently left her own fired ass off her list of who can't run a corporation, as well as the overpaid wall street misfits and the bumblers at autoland in Detroit. What this Biatch won't tell you is most American CEO's today are too lazy and greedy to make it of their own ingenuity and innovation. If it weren't for the steady flow of Government subsidies and tax breaks that daily props up most of American business, the majority of current CEO's would fail.
maybe this is just me, but if the people we have running couldn't run a computer company but we are going to give them access to Nuclear weapons, holy shit. Pack your bags the shit is going to hit the fan.
well...she is right though. America is not a corporation last time I checked. She said, running the two are different... So what if she cant run a company? are you implying she CAN run a country because she cant run a company? so really, she is saying the only thing intelligent from the McCain party. Remember Bush, too, cant run a company (or a few) and eight long years, Viola!
Then there's this dumb hen, apparently Carly can't run a company either! Running her mouth got her stupid ass thrown off of the Bridge to Nowhere though!:p

Perhaps Carly Fiorina's gaunt visage is a result of chronic foot-in-mouth disease. I was amused by her feigned "outrage" a few days ago when she characterized legitimate questions about Palin's qualifications as "sexist" and legitimate questions about McCain's competence as "ageism."
As the Bush economy continues its downward spiral, at least we can look foreword to the comic relief provided by the absurd utterances of Carly Fiorina. Whoops, strike that, she's been given the boot.. again.
Fiorina is totally right, and Obama should be careful not to use this. What they should do it focus on the fact that McCain got upset about this that he canceled all HER interviews. What, so HE thinks he's running for the position CEO of America Inc.? Why did he get so upset about this? Fiorina made a totally obvious point.
I can't wait to see the debates. I think America will finally realize that despite their fears and prejudices, Obama is the right candidate to pull America back to it's former greatness and beyond. Again, Obama's poll numbers are leading and now Palin's numbers are declining. I think after the debates, there will be no doubt who is better capable to represent the American people and this great nation. No more lies, No more Bush, No more Rupublican trash!!!
On T.V. interviews (Sep.16th) , Carly Fiorina (Top Economic Advisor for McCain) declares that Palin & MacCain wouldn't be able to run a large corporation!!!!!
If their own top advisor doesn't have confidence in them, how can we trust them to run the world's largest economy during the worst financial times !!!!!!!!!
And, if running a country is different than running a company, Why McCain chose a top manager to advise him on major economic issues????
Hahahah. And this at a time when CEO's are running major corporations right into the ground. Since the bgovernment bailed out AIG, perhaps they should hold a lottery for homeless veterans & make one of them the new CEO. betcha a bag of donuts the homeless vet does a better job than the asshole born with a silver spoon up his ass.
Federal Elections Commission investigating Barak Obamas Campaign fundraising while the FBI investigates ACORN executives with Federal Racketeering Charges of voter fraud. It has been well known recently that ACORN is at the heart of one of the most massive voter fraud campaigns in American history. In recent years, many ACORN employees were convicted of voter fraud in Ohio, Colorado, California, Missouri, Washington, and other cities which easily manipulates opinion polls
Sarah palin is a ignorant fool!!!! she is totaly unqualified - heartbeat away from the presidency if mccain croaks? Fuck that! -Vladimer Putin the Russian Mastermind is the man!!!!- he will Hurt Sarah palin and The- "US" in a hard anal-doggy style !!!!!! Dont let him !!!!would you send this Palin-Bunny to deal with the Tigers&Wolfs&lions of the world-politcs ?- !!!!!! Even if you are remotely intelligent You must say no!!! Vote Obamah!!! !!!!
And as it turns out, either can she...yeah, she ran HP alright, almost ran it into the ground and it seems she's now working to run McCain's campaign aground...
* * * ALASKANOMICS FACTS * * * 1. The least density populated state. 2. Do not share any border with any other State of the Union. 3. Became formally US state until 1959. 4.

Here's the real problem with Mr Obama: the jarring gap between his promises of change and his status quo performance. There are just too many contradictions between the eloquent poetry of the man's stirring rhetoric and the dull, familiar prose of his political record. He could have CHANGED super-corrupted Chicago politics - instead he USED it for his own gain.
freea, you sound sincere but you don't understand politics very well if you think anyone can get elected in this country by speaking their 'true' mind. Obama, by himself, could not change Chicago politics but working within it, he can affect change.
Same with community organizing, etc.
McCain has flipped on virtually every substantive issue out there and does it weekly. He can't remember what he has said or what he's supposed to say, he's truly disgraceful but looks smart compared to palin.

Can you believe that Biden only gave $9,000 to charity in the past ten years? He had money for that bad plug job, didnt he? Maybe he could have just bought a rug and gave a bit more to the poor. Rush Limbaugh gave over $4 Million to charity last year according to the esteemed PARADE Magazine. Rush Rocks!
In ten years, Biden grossed well over $3,000,000, thats THREE MILLION BUCKS to you, ok? And he only managed to squeeze off $9,000.00? He wouldnt be living large in NYC being that cheap, would he?
Democrat bigwigs and official Obama supporters Jamie Gorelcik, Frederick Raines, Jim Johnson , all were reaping well over $100 MILLION in bonuses and making loans to friends at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae! They need to be doing the perp walk! Lets march those four into the Senate and have a Investigation NOW!! Start it tomorrow! AMERICA IS OUTRAGED AT THESE DEMOCRATS Obama is the Number #1 recipient of donations from Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae!
I've got a feeling that we won't be seeing much of Carly for the rest of the campaign...which is OK, since there's still Tucker Bounds and Rick Davis to run McCain's laundry through the spin cycle.
Its disgusting that race has become a factor in this election. As a matter of fact, 95% of White Liberals and 95% of blacks will only vote for Obama because hes a black man, no matter the fact that hes a Socialist, Gun grabbing, One Worlder, Kraut Loving, Terrorist appeasing, and "former" drug abuser. The racism of his supporters is staggering to this observer.
I am outraged at their obvious racism and so is America!!!!!!!
Blah, blah, blah so glad you're supporting Rushes bull. Why don't you turn off your radio and take a walk down main street. We are all the same no matter our color or religion. We need work, rest, love, and family. All of us.
Tell me does the Sermon on the Mount make Jesus a Socialist too!
halalansky if sarah palin has so much experience why is she scared to talk to the media. the woman cannot speak without cuecards prepared by the mccain campaign. she is living up to her beauty queen status with a bit of george bush thrown in.
Fiorina was a rotten CEO for HP, and she's a rotten spokesperson for McCain.
The "more executive decisions" thing in BS. Obama is the chief executive of his campaign, which he built from scratch; Palin has never built anything on that scale. McCain runs his campaign too, so give him credit/blame for that.
and yet the last couple of presidents (yes, sorry, I'm including even CLinton in this) have so clearly tried to run the country as if it's their own personal company (obviously Bush and Dick to a far greater extent).
She got fired. She basically axed HP, this is what CEO's do in the 21st century. It takes no talent or expertise to do this. Florina consistently misrepresents and makes up McCain's positions.
good point "vudfire". I saw part of an interview w/ Charlie Rose a while back when she was still w/ HP....i think? Looks like she's "fleeced the flock" since then!
btw...Pfotenhaur also has fer pfacts all pfucked up.
Didn't she fire 100,000 people from HEWLITT PACKERD after she drove the comp. into the ground?? Then ship the rest of the jobs overseas! THEN she walked off with MILLIONS!
Her eyes were brown, I swear it. She's that full of shit. She was fired for incompetence ($21 million severance) and McCain hired her along with 164 lobbyists to run his operation. That's really smart; he's clueless.
Now Palin's latest 'Executive Decision' is to go from "I've got nothing to hide" to a refusal to cooperate with her own legislature's investigation. The legislators that unanimously voted to investigate were by majority Republican.
I think she is mistaken, right it's different but people under you are held accountable unlike government. Competition and accountability make business work and government fail.
maybe carly is right... about mccain. palin probably could... but i know one person that can't run a major corporation... that would be CARLY!!! she was awful.... and got fired.
BTW, MCCAIN is now throwing her under the bus for making these statements. How sexist of him. AND HOW dare Carly Fiorina let any TRUTHFUL information leak out from the McCain campaign. THE Truth and the McCain campaign are arch-enemies of one another. She should know that. That was in TALKING POINTS MEMO #1 from the McCain Camp. If she goes around speaking freely her honest opinions it would set a bad precedence for McCain that he could NEVER live up to.
She needs to go home and spend her million dollar severance package she got when she got fired from HP. Way to go McCain for picking
knowledgable folks like Fiorina and Phill Graham to advise you since you say you know nothing about economics. Wonder if they know what the Bush Doctrine is...
You don't even know why she was fired or your just too stupid to know that she was fired for something leftists would approve of and she was fired because she wasn't bringing enough profit to the company.
Which FYI you leftists hate profits, you guys want those profits to go to the government.
As an HP share holder, I know more about it than you do, apparently. She got fired for her stupid move in acquiring Compaq. The purchase of Compaq has failed in that the combined HP/Compaq PC market share has shrunk dramatically since the acquisition. She fucked up. Big time. Costing share holders 64 billion.
But she can't be too sad. She got a 21 million dollar reverence package. It's nice how American CEO's get paid millions for fucking up.
But Ultra, isn't that the kind of greed (CEOs collecting millions and being given a golden parachute when they failed their companies, their employees and their stockholders) that McCain tried to feign indignate anger against yesterday? Just like he was against the kind of ill-advised deregulation that his other economic surrogate Phil Gramm was most the one most responsible for creating. If John McCain wants to go after the greed merchants of Wall Street, he could start with his CAMPAIGN STAFF.
Carly Fiorina is indeed an example of everything that is WRONG in American business. Cost your company billions, yet receive a 21 million dollar paycheck when you leave...
The reason this happens is because those at the top look out for each other. They are the "Owners Club".
These are the people that McCain says is causing all the problems. He is right. Problem is, HE IS ONE OF THEM and he is surrounded by them, thus, he can't be trusted to change a God damned thing!
Ultra, and we won't even talk about the SEVEN major LOBBYIST on his campaign staff. PLUS the only time McCain inserted himself in a major federal economic situation was when he was trying to prevent regulators from looking too closely at the Keating 5 situation. The willful deception on his part cost American tax payers $125 BILLION.Now with Lehman's, Morgan, Merrill, Fannie, Freddie, and AIG, we have a half dozen KEATINGS who have tried to bilk their customers first and then taxpayers second.
For someone who hates leftist, you should be well miffed at George Bush. WHO KNEW that GEORGE W. BUSH would create the biggest SOCIALIST STATE America has seen since FDR. Come one, come all, everybody. Line up for your bailout, folks. Don't forget to hide your GOLDEN SHOWER CURTAIN ROD and PRIVATE JET when you do. They might make people suspicious.
To FascistWatch: You are an idiot! Give people who comment some credit. The merger with Compaq was controversial at best, while she was at HP their stock dropped by half, and the company had a huge loss. She did not like the idea that there would be a change in her authority and she clashed with the Board of HP. When she left the stock jumped.Ask the stock holders what they thought of her, they were the ones who lost big time while she golden parachuted away with over 20 million in severance!
It speaks volumes that McCain relies upon discredited paleocons such as Carly Fiorina and Phil Gramm for campaign and economic advice. Be clear, if McCain wins this election both Carly "only I can run this country" Fiornia and Phil "mental recession" Gramm would be awarded cabinet level positions within a McCain administration. Fiorina really put her foot in her mouth this time though. Jeez, what a fool!
"What does a disgraced former CEO who was forced to resign in shame for both incompetence and illegally wire-tapping her own board of directors know about running anything?"
Fiorina received 21 million in cash as part of a severance agreement to leave HP.
McCain counted her as one of 'his three' that he consults when speaking at Saddleback last month.
This is the type of person McCain would entrust for advice and guidance in the WH.
This is yet another example of McCain's poor judgment.
OK, Carly Fiorina really knows how to run a major corporation. When she was ousted by Hewlett Packard for her short tenure there and nice compensation package to boot.
Typical Repug,she ran a major corporation into near bankruptcy and took her fucking 42 million golden parachute and ran.Wasn't Dumbya supposed to be a failed businessman too?
Also isn't it interesting that Obama is hailed as the second coming and McCain is touted as a buch clone? Obama = 3 years in the senate, and was a "community organizer" which sounds like a very broad thing in my book. A boy scout troop leader, jahova's whitness, a church chior leader, all could be called community organizers, but does that mean they would be a good president? McCain was in the military, was a POW and a senator for 20+ years, don't need a rocket scientist to figure out who's best
palen took 6 yrs. to graduate college. mccain finished 5th to last place in school. they're not bright people. he was never a general, not even an admiral like his dad/granddad. he crashed 5 planes. even bush wasn't that dumb. how does being a POW qualify you to be president? it means the enemy out-soldiered you. your ignorence of community organization isn't something to brag about, as it wasn't cute when Palen didn't know what a vp did. yeah, dude, we're laughing AT you :D
instead of guessing what obama did as a community organizer how about looking it up. seems you have the facts on mccain now go find the facts out about obama because youre looking like a blind fool knowing only one side of the party.
also, being a pow doesnt qualify you to be president just so you know.
Well lets see, MSNBC doctored this interview, no huge surprise there. Since they've also edited an excluseive interview by the president, which is unheard of. They accused McCain of cheating durring a debate (or this reporter did at least) with absolutely no evidence. I really think anyone who buys into the crap on NBC, or MSNBC is about as sad a person as you can get.
Year insisted on merging with Compaq a loosing company. Zero synergy whatsoever, Fiorina is now unemployed and the only women who is willing to work for Johnny McBush for a shot to be his vp running mate. Surprise, Johny Dumbo McBush thinks Palin is more qualified than Fiorina.
The fact that John McCain would turn to Carly Fiorina for economic advice and leadership says a lot about him, none of it good. Ms. Fiorina has hurt Americans and aided a terrorist state. After all that- after laying off 18,000 people, after sowing bitterness and dissension on the HP board, after losing market share, declining stock price, public embarrassment, selling computers to the terroist-loving ayatollahs in Iran-after all that, Carly Fiorina walked away with a $42 million golden parachut
The McCain campaign has been sticking Carly Fiorina on TV as much as possible. I couldn't be happier. I want to see Ms. Fiorina on TV every day. She is the face of everything that's wrong with Republican economics, a poster child for corporate avarice, incompetence, and outsourcing. If she does for the McCain campaign what she did for Hewlett-Packard McCain will be lucky to carry Utah!!
Ms. Fiorina may be best known for her catastrophic $24 billion merger with Compaq in 2003. She argued that the merger and its attendant job cuts would increase efficiency and reduce costs for HP. She forced the deal through HP resulting in allegations of coercion and a lawsuit. Between the merger and her "restructuring" she cut 18,000 jobs at HP in 2003 alone in the name of reduction!! That's 18,000 pink slips to 18,000 hardworking Americans.
autoboxx, mccain lies about everything and u know it, palen knows more about energy than anybody? she didnt' take earmarks as governor? the fundamentals of the economy are strong? everytime he's called ona lie he says,i said it, but i meant something else. you're mans a joke. his vp pick is an insult to women who finished their b.a. in 4 years., even 5 years!(btw,the fundamentals of chicago's economy ARE strong.) in 58 days, tell me how it feels to be in the minority. :D
jamulator, i totally agree. the GOP is a machine that continues to pick the most easily manipulated, not so bright, but PERSONALBLE nominee they can. every time mccain or palen open their mouths they say something more scary than the day before. god help us all! i still think they're a loud minority. no way mccain's getting in.
"We're not in a recession; a recession is 2 consecutive quarters of negative economic growth...we haven't seen one yet"
Are YOU joking? AIG was just swallowed by the Federal Reserve, the mortgage market is tanking, our credit-based economy is croaking, and you crank up the blinders?
"Our economy is growing more than any other industrialized nation in the world right now"
wow, i thought she was smart but apparently not. So she is saying running a company is more difficult than being president of the U.S? She originally said palin could not because she knows palin is an idiot and that Gibson interview proves that.
You hate all major newspapers and television networks
You hate Americans who work as community organizers
You hate Americans who aren't white or Christian
You hate science
You hate helping homeless veterans
You hate paying any taxes
Basically, you hate America.
But you LOVE Bush and FOX "News." You LOVE corporate lobbyists writing our laws. You love campaign ads that are dishonest. The more dishonest the better. Win first! Country second!
This clown was FIRED by Hewlett Packard after numerous financial missteps and corporate chicanery. But they paid her tens of millions in a golden parachute. Is she one of the "fat cats" raiding the "casino" that McCain ranted about today? My God, these Republicans are pathetic--can't run a company, can't run a campaign, can't run a country.
lol...palin nothin but a stupid ass whor...and have a slut of a daughter..lol...MCSAME and a WHOR will NEVER be in the whitehouse...face it people..obama is going to be are next prez...so deal with it...you cracka ass rednecks are just to scared that a black guy be in charge of you hillbilly ass...lol...listen..we need change and obama the one who brings it...obama 08'
Your so right on. McCain has been kicking his own butt lately. After saying he's anti-regulation he now says he's going to put forth the regulations to fix the current economic crisis...which isn't that big of a deal because our economy is fundamentally strong. It's almost like he wants to fail now.
Is this a joke? It seems like it, but just in case it's not-- We're not in a recession; a recession is 2 consecutive quarters of negative economic growth...we haven't seen one yet. The last recession we were in was a result of 9/11. We saw more recessions under Clinton. Our economy is growing more than any other industrialized nation in the world right now. Yet, you blame Bush...
Finally, to say McCain is a Bush clone, you're showing everyone that you don't know anything about McCain
Yes, Carly Fiorina, is a McInsane surrogate. I still don't understand why he did not pick her as he running mate, or Olympia Snow or Meg Whitman, or Kay Bailey Hutchison, all GOP Dynamos.

She's right. Obama and Biden cannot run a big business company but they can run a country. The thing is Carly CANNOT run a country nor a big business company. Because of her stupidity and greed for power, she have cost tens of thousands to lose their jobs, ruin the company and yet she escaped with a big fat pay cheque, cowardly using the "shareholders decision" reasoning. She should just return this money to all the people she fired. Otherwise, bad karma will remain with her for life.

Carly Fiorina is a total F'ing failure! She helped Rich McGinn run Lucent Technologies into the ground. But before the total implosion she bailed, cashed out her stock and went to HP. There she was removed by the BOD before she wrecked that company too. Besides helping run LU into the ground she also got this bullshit diversity training implemented. How in the world did this utter failure get hooked up with McCain?

Here's the real problem with Mr Obama: the jarring gap between his promises of change and his status quo performance. There are just too many contradictions between the eloquent poetry of the man's stirring rhetoric and the dull, familiar prose of his political record. He could have CHANGED super-corrupted Chicago politics - instead he USED it for his own gain.

freea, you sound sincere but you don't understand politics very well if you think anyone can get elected in this country by speaking their 'true' mind. Obama, by himself, could not change Chicago politics but working within it, he can affect change.
Same with community organizing, etc.
McCain has flipped on virtually every substantive issue out there and does it weekly. He can't remember what he has said or what he's supposed to say, he's truly disgraceful but looks smart compared to palin.

"We're not in a recession; a recession is 2 consecutive quarters of negative economic growth...we haven't seen one yet"
Are YOU joking? AIG was just swallowed by the Federal Reserve, the mortgage market is tanking, our credit-based economy is croaking, and you crank up the blinders?
"Our economy is growing more than any other industrialized nation in the world right now"
Wow! No, it's clear, YOU don't know John McCain!

wow, i thought she was smart but apparently not. So she is saying running a company is more difficult than being president of the U.S? She originally said palin could not because she knows palin is an idiot and that Gibson interview proves that.

Republicans.
You hate Americans who work in Hollywood
You hate all major newspapers and television networks
You hate Americans who work as community organizers
You hate Americans who aren't white or Christian
You hate science
You hate helping homeless veterans
You hate paying any taxes
Basically, you hate America.
But you LOVE Bush and FOX "News." You LOVE corporate lobbyists writing our laws. You love campaign ads that are dishonest. The more dishonest the better. Win first! Country second!

This clown was FIRED by Hewlett Packard after numerous financial missteps and corporate chicanery. But they paid her tens of millions in a golden parachute. Is she one of the "fat cats" raiding the "casino" that McCain ranted about today? My God, these Republicans are pathetic--can't run a company, can't run a campaign, can't run a country.

Your so right on. McCain has been kicking his own butt lately. After saying he's anti-regulation he now says he's going to put forth the regulations to fix the current economic crisis...which isn't that big of a deal because our economy is fundamentally strong. It's almost like he wants to fail now.

and he's saying obama is using the 'economic crisis" as political oppertunity because he points it lol out!

G.W. Bush was the WORSE PRESIDENT IN U.S. HISTORY....and I still think he is better than John McCain.
John McCain is a BUSH CLONE...but more obsessed with WAR, GREEDY, AND DICTATORSHIP.
It was Bush that got us into a bogus war and a horrible Recession...John McCain will send America straight to hell.

Is this a joke? It seems like it, but just in case it's not-- We're not in a recession; a recession is 2 consecutive quarters of negative economic growth...we haven't seen one yet. The last recession we were in was a result of 9/11. We saw more recessions under Clinton. Our economy is growing more than any other industrialized nation in the world right now. Yet, you blame Bush...
Finally, to say McCain is a Bush clone, you're showing everyone that you don't know anything about McCain

Yes, Carly Fiorina, is a McInsane surrogate. I still don't understand why he did not pick her as he running mate, or Olympia Snow or Meg Whitman, or Kay Bailey Hutchison, all GOP Dynamos.
John McCain has NO JUDGEMENT AT ALL.

Doesn't she support McBush? Isn't she a Mcbush's surrogate?
The McBush campaign is in self destruction mode, and the Palin effect has already start fadding.
