DOOM AND GLOOM "HALF-BAKED" fear of loss AP Story, "AGAIN", this time "United States likely sliding into recession reflecting mounting damage from the most dangerous financial jolt in more than a half-century." WHEN WILL YOU PRESS PEOPLE KNOW, you are to REPORT THE NEWS, to us readers, "NOT" create it, causeing fear in the Stock Market, in buying and selling, and people to hold onto their monies and not spend them, just so you can write a story of BS hype?. Seems to me that the DN is walking in these same footsteps also lately. This is what causes a PANIC, when there's NOTHING WRONG OUT THERE, it's just a slow recovery and start up and it's not an overnight quick fix. The world economy and "OURS" will recover nicely BEFORE "Thanksgiving" time rolls around. What's wrong with your way of thinking here anyway?. It's just plain wrong. Stop preaching your hate of "With a recession now looking increasingly likely." Why do you want to pump up the Bushie Basher's, throw this election, unless some there are sleeping wit 0-bamacon and are as left as he is?. My comments are NOT found to be abusive, offensive, off-topic either.

Wow, OFP, that's quite a list of predictions! Be sure to write them down and check them off, ok? Tell you what, I think you could apply them to a McCain presidency as well. No matter who is elected, you'll find them up to their ears in problems with the economy. Neither of them has a clue about what causes our economic mess because they're both looking at it through the same prism. It's a question of which one is going to drive the economy into the ground first. To my way of thinking, it's about a tie.

The only thing wrong in America, 0-babacon ;ives in it to, and his 0-bots of to far to the left liberals that they already fell off our planet, and their out in space Biden is trying to pull them all back. can’t believe its already October. The bad news is that Halloween is gonna be here in a few weeks so I’m gonna have to walk the entire neighborhood again in leopard shorty shorts and hooker boots while I chaperone the kids. The good news is the flippin’ campaign commercials will be ending soon. Tell me them don’t make ya more irritated than Kirstie Allie going through a turnstile! By the way, Barack HUSSAIN Obama had a fundraiser that cost 28 thousand dollars a plate and the entertainment was Barbra Streisand. You’d think for that kinda money you’d want the guests to keep their food DOWN! BADABING! Vote for Sarah and McCain, we'll all be better off.

I have news for you. If you think our country will be better off in four years under an Obama, Pelosi, Reed government you are sadly mistaken. After they have given the nation a “New, New Deal,” there won’t be much left in America.
Under this New Deal:
* More companies will move more jobs outside of the U.S.
* Unemployment will be 14%+
* Gas will become $6.50+ a gallon because Obama has no plan to produce more.
* The Dow will drop to below 7,500 erasing most people’s chance to retire. Ever.
* The dollar will be worth half what it is today and countries will “unpeg,” leaving us unable to pay our debts.
* Inflation will reach 12%+
* There will be another terrorist attack on a U.S. city.
Welcome to the new America. Thanks to the Bush Haters who vote Obama. Change we can believe in. Welcome to the depression of 2009-20013. Good luck Bush Haters.
