Biden to Oversee Your Stimulus Dollars

I am tired of everyone blaming the poor people the banks took advantage of while they were freely giving mortgages. Free is hardly the word. You take someone who would barley qulaify (in those days) for a loan and then they rape and pillage the poor guy who just wanted the American Dream to the point where he was set up to fail. Most of us (with good credit and payment history) couldn't afford those payments, let alone someone who really shouldn't have qualified to begin with. If they really wanted to tap that market (the subprime) they should have done it with fairness and compassion not GREED....

When Obama finished speaking today the market was down 50, and when he
introduced Biden to speak, the networks tuned out, and when Biden was
done, the market dropped 250!
Nice going Joe...what a loser!

Why did the prsident choose Obama, first as VP, and 2nd as anything.
Think of HIS connection with MBNA in DE. He is not the best person
to handle anything, as his time in the Senate has proven.
What an empty suite...

FROM FEAR A POSITIVE TREND RISES
Consumers are reacting, and behavior is reversing to actions not seen since the ‘90s.

This bodes well for a gradual and shallow recovery.

Isn't it refreshing to have a President who actually does something that he said he would. It appears that some folks get upset when a politician actually does what they say they are going to do. The jury is still out as to how effective Vice President Biden will be with overseesing the budget stimulus, however, to say he is not up to the task appears to me to translate into partisan politics once again by those who oppose the party in power. Isn't it great to live in a country where you can condemn the person's performance before they start.

Joe Biden is not qualified to do anything except play "Senator from Delaware" or "VP" under "KING TUT." He has no idea how to "take charge of the RECOVERY!" AMERICA is "RUDDERLESS" & there are no CAPTAINS, COMMODORES or ADMIRALS to "right-the-ship" and lead us through "uncharted waters!" God have mercy on AMERICA & her families!

I wouldn't let Vice President Biden keep an eye on my car let alone my future.
Where did these guys come from.
How many total votes did Biden get during all his attempts at the White House? And now he is the "Watchdog" for the $878 billion payoff...
