The Obama Get Out the Vote campaign.

"Since the Depression, governments have become far more aggressive about intervening when credit markets seize up or economies struggle. And those interventions have generally succeeded. The recessions since World War II, while hardly easy, have been far less painful than the Depression. .. say that the sell-off has gone much too far and stocks are poised to rally powerfully if the downturn is less severe than investors fear."

Don't buy at above market prices, way too problematic to even appear fair, better to just buy at market prices and get money out there.

Ballmer comes off as really stupid and un-knowledgeable in this interview.

This is stupid why are states putting that much money in movies.

Can we get the level of discourse in this campaign at least back to what we generally expect it to be.
