Have you looked at the stock markets lately??? Looks like what Obama is doing is a hell of a lot different than what POS Bush was doing. Last I remember markets were imploding during Bush's plan while have been rising since Obama's plan...

You don't understand what a too big to fail bank collapse would do to this country.

And neither does NC'c clueless senator.

U.S. Senator Richard Burr recently visited the Hendersosnville Chamber of commerce to discuss the current economic situation, and made comments that have gotten national media attention. Senator Burr told WHKP News that he made the statement that in the days following the announcement that there was a financial crisis, he told his wife to go to the ATM machine, and make sure they had cash at home in case the freeze on the stock market did not get better. He said that the statement was meant to show people just how severe the problem was at that time.

Burr said that some people are spinning the statement, and making it seem as though he had information that would initiate a run on a bank. He said that he has been in rooms full of reporters and talked about the same thing, and nobody has ever questioned the statements. He said the spin on the comments now are purely political.

Chamber of Commerce President Bob Williford said that the comments that Burr made were well received, and that he did not take any selfish motives from the comments.
