1. He's going to threaten Congress and us
Nobody anywhere will have any credit. there will be gas shortages, food shortages, the terraists will invade, etc etc etc. If you don't give me 700Billion before I leave in 3 months. And we'll kill this puppy (holds up puppy).

10. I do believe
we are in big time trouble. What pisses me off is I think they knew this months ago and tried to dump the crash on the next administration. I see a depression no matter if this bailout is passed or not.

16. The filthy bastard is just trying to salvage some crumb of his self-imagined "legacy"
by pushing the problem out into Obama's presidency. Sorry, no buying time for the boy idiot. He should be thankful for his Secret Service detail because otherwise he would be mobbed by people with torches and pitchforks.

27. Actually, I'm predicting that kind of drop for Thurs. or Fri., Mon. at the latest....
Looks like Main Street's opposition to this bailout is bigger than anticipated.

Time for some Shock and Awe... :scared:

35. Well, tomorrow is Thursday
To be honest, I find predicting the Dow for a single day is a little like predicting an individual dice roll. However, one knows that there is a better chance of a seven than of box cars or snake eyes. Right now, predicting a downward trend over time is like predicting in a dozen rolls of the dice more sevens will result than any other number.
