PA Exits: 9 in 10 Believe U.S. in Recession; Bush: "We're Not in a Recession"
Posted by Matt Ortega on April 23, 2008 at 11:06 AM
Exit polls from yesterday's Pennsylvania Primary showed nine in ten voters believed the United States was in a recession.
The same day, President Bush spoke at an economic summit in New Orleans and stated at a news conference: "We're not in a recession, we're in a slowdown ... [T]here's no question we're in a slowdown and people are concerned about it, obviously."

Bush will you go back to sleep or get to Crawford and stay? Where is your knowledge? Are you in the know and lying about it or are you really that ignorant?
I wish we could imprach him without futher damage to the Nation. But he put the Country between a rock and a hard place in every level of our domestic and foreign policy.
Can you think of any good he has done? If you can then you must be in the top 2% in wealth.
He has used the death and wounded of our bravest men to steal from the poor to give to the rich in contracts.
Please let the world go away and bring our men and women home.

I sure isn't peace and prosperity.
Maybe the present situtation is OK for an underachieving, C- student. It's not good enough for the United States of America.
Republicans have a choice. Get out or be thrown out.

Bush, do us all an favor and turn yourself and Dick Cheney in for your war crimes, repeated violations of international law, and crimes against humanity. I would go even further and wish both Bush and Cheney were in jail where they will never see the light of day. Bush hasn't helped anyone except him and his rich buddies.

Hillary "won" in PA because the Clinton Machine via Ed Rendell screwed with the election on a massive scale. The League of Women Voters
reported that they had hundreds of complaints about broken machines, no
paper ballots, people who had changed registration to Democrat listed as "Unaffiliated" and therefore not eligible to vote in a Democratic
Primary, etc. Literally thousands were turned away from the polls for one reason or another.The fix was in. I am preparing a complaint asking
the Pa. Attorney General to investigate, but I don't expect much to come of it. Victory, my ass!
Still, I cannot bring myself to take any action or allow any inaction that would jeopardize a Democratic win in November. I will vote for the party's nominee, period. I trust the system even when I don't trust it. American democracy is alive and well. Get active!

Bush and Cheney can be summoned to court and be condemned for mass murder of civilians in Iraq, Afganistan, to american soldiers and crime against humanity on the following court:

It's the International Criminal Court.
If there is true honour and justice in any American citizen, than this MUST be done!
Why i'am writing this?! Because, if the next REPUBLICAN President is in Office, than he will do the same crimes like Bush and Cheney, because he will say: HEY, BUSH&Cheney did it, WHY NOT ME TOO!

If you want to understand how Bush is getting away with denying we are in recession, read Numbers Racket by Kevin Philips in the May issue of Harper's

Bush lives in a dream world where every thing is beautiful and anything he does will enhance our Nation. He makes sure the Republicans will have plenty of money by giving contracts to their major contributers. Everyone knows this about Bush, but the Republicans don't care they will argue to the death that what he is doing will help our Nation and make it better. They even argue about the National debt being the right thing to do. And they just point to mistakes the Democrats have made in the past or what they say are mistakes for our Country. Go figure?

Hillary is so close to winning!!! Don't ask her to quit, it will break her heart because she is such a hard worker. That is why she can get Republicans to help her as well as unite our party. Look at the lady she works herself into a stupper. Go Hillary the super delagets are for you!!!!!!

I think Hilary "should" be close to winning. The National election in November will choose a President, not by the number of States won or the popular vote. It will be the electoral votes that decide. At present, Hilary has won in States that would give her 286 votes, Obama 195, for a total of 481 out of 538. Obama winning the nomination would not bother me in the least but with the electoral process being the decider, he is the weaker candidate. Maybe they should join forces.
