Welcome to the thought process of the average voter. If you want more examples, stay on the board and read "Park aka DIN".

He has and then the outsourcing argument came out which obviously pisses off everyone.

Because if you go through the firms he helped create, chances are he helped create jobs and still made a **** load of money. In business only the best and brightest can do well in private equity.

The president doesn't control monetary policy, big ben does. That being said, today's congress session where Bernaeke was answering the same questions over and over was disgraceful. And to Ron Paul, yes we get it, you want to audit the fed and give Congress full power over its decisions which has to be one of the most !@#$ing retarded premises anyone could make.

New York Times? Seriously?

Great analysis there.

If the election was tomorrow morning, Obama would win but there is still a long way to go and it if the economy still is in the shitter, more people will listen to Romney's message.

There: Kenya

Right and I'm Kenyan.

And the people who make that issue on the right would also be labeled idiots by me Because it has zero to do with being president of the United States and it's !@#$ing retarded. I will? Or maybe you were referring to B-man, Doc, Dante and the rest of the right wing drones? So what you're effectively saying is you are here to counter the right wing drones by being a left wing drone?

I never said that you !@#$ing idiot, I said that the level of discourse is !@#$ing retarded which is why I made the "college transcripts"* comment or did that fly over your head? *I also find that equally retarded.

I'm not trying to be funny. I have some friends on facebook (for example) who are reasonable people and yet they post the exact same garbage the talking heads on MSNBC discuss (most of my friends are Democrats so I don't see much from the other side). All you're doing is parroting it as well and joe (who I usually think is an idiot) is actually being reasonable in his assessment. Maybe you should stick to talking about the Sopranos instead?

Why would it appear on his tax returns?

Yes. The talking heads certainly have no influence on the American voter.

Way to tow your party line. Awaiting the "well he has to show his college transcripts".

Just wait till chef sends you the bill for his sound advice

The interventions in his early presidency most likely prevented massive bankruptcies but I think any president in that position in his right mind would have made those decisions.

Now is unfortunately not really the time to try and teach economics, especially with the average persons 10 second attention span.

That was a pretty good episode. I watched the first four seasons in the span of 10 days so haven't to wait a week per episode will take some patience

So basically Rachel Maddow, Bill Maher and the rest of the left wing retard circle jerk isn't enough for you?

Yes chances are if it would happen, the firms with the largest risk would obviously have to dump more into collateral to meet the margin requirements and it would definitely hurt them in the short term. I have to do some research on my end as I do recall some OTC guys I work with stating that there would be some sort of centralized method of trading the more standard products but I don't remember the details.

Most OTC products are under the umbrella of ISDA yet are still confirmed legally and have counter party risk. There's no reason why these products that are becoming more and more standardized can't pass through a clearing house. I agree with your second point.

1) Create a centralized clearing house for standard OTC products 2) Any institution holding on to exotic derivatives should have to put up a larger collateral requirement. End of story.

Pete is quite enlightened !@#$ing hippies.
