He was one even during the last campaign, actively fellating O. He is a Dem in GOP raiment.

He’s never had to run a real company, has he? So he doesn’t know that it takes equipment of steel to go up against elected officials to actually cut costs.

The Problem is that pretty much all of the Republican senators want bailout money (including Palin). They might not advertise it but they are all going to take it and use it. They are happy to have it. The Senators have the luxury of not having to balance a budget or create jobs.

OT: Forget the economy. It’s over and f**ked. The problem is systemic, and the rot is already starting to set in.
FDIC Criticizes Massachusetts Bank With No Bad Loans for Being Too Cautious
A Massachusetts bank that has defied the odds and remained free of bad loans amid the economic crisis is now being criticized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. for the cautious business practices that caused its rare success.
The secret behind East Bridgewater Savings Bank’s accomplishments is the careful approach of 62-year-old chief executive Joseph Petrucelli.
“We’re paranoid about credit quality,” he told the Boston Business Journal.
That paranoia has allowed East Bridgewater Savings Bank to stand out among a flurry a failing banks, with no delinquent loans or foreclosures on its books, the Journal reported. East Bridgewater Savings didn’t even need to set aside in money in 2008 for anticipated loan losses.
But rather than reward Petrucelli’s tactics, the FDIC recently criticized his bank for not lending enough, slapping it with a “needs to improve” rating under the Community Reinvestment Act, the Journal reported.
The problem, according to FDIC data, was that from late 2003 through mid-2008, East Bridgewater Savings made an average of 28 cents in loans for every dollar in deposit — a sharp contrast to the 90 percent average loan-to-deposit ratio among similar banks, the paper reported.
“There are no apparent financial or legal impediments that would limit the bank’s ability to help meet the credit needs of its assessment area,” the FDIC wrote in the CRA evaluation.
The agency also faulted the bank, which does not have a Web site, for not promoting its loan products enough, the Journal reported.
Considering his bank is doing well in tanking industry and even the FDIC’s deposit insurance fund is in trouble after paying for an upswing in bank failures, Petrucelli told the Boston Business Journal that the negative rating caught him by surprise.
East Bridgewater Savings ended 2008 with $135 million in assets, deposits of $84 million, $87,000 in profit, and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 31.6 percent — more than three times higher than many community banks in Massachusetts, the Journal reported.
Its net loans and leases equaled 21 percent of assets, compared with 72 percent among 385 similar banks across the country.

When a recently laid-off school teacher told Obama of her plight, he said the stimulus will help thousands of teachers nationwide keep their jobs.
Keep their jobs? Really? For how long? The porkfest only is a one-shot that our grandkids will be still be paying for when they’re old and gray. The states getting money to bring in new cops and firefighters are going to find that they’re in the hole for funding those new cops and firefighters once the money runs out next year.
It isn’t even a band aid for the fiscal situation in CA. It’s like pouring gasoline on a fire. The whole fiscal situation in CA is a disaster, and the federal porkfest isn’t going to solve that situation; it will likely only delay the inevitable painful decisions that must be made to make the solvent once again - cutting state spending to bring it in line with revenues - not the other way around (raising taxes to match delirious spending habits). You wont see spending cuts under Arnie (or Obama), except for defense spending cuts (which coincidentally will harm places like CA hardest because of their defense industry contractors).

This whole she bang is just going to delay the inevitable hard landing, and IMO turn the landing into a crash.
Obama and his administration are just tossing money around at this time without a clue. They are creating unfunded future mandates that states simply can’t afford. I honestly don’t see why the states can’t realize that. They almost all just have $$ signs in their eyes.
Here in CT they are talking about taking the money and paying down debt with some of it. But they can’t figure out a way around the rules congress put on the money, so they are going to try and get them to change the rules.
Idiots!

OT. Got this in an email. Thought it was pretty funny.
LETTER FROM THE BOSS…
As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that
Obama is our President, and that our taxes, and government fees will
increase in a BIG way.
To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about
10%.
Since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the
economy, we will have to lay off six of our employees instead.
This has really been bothering me, since I believe we are family here and I
didn’t know how to choose who would have to go.
So, this is what I did.
I walked through our parking lot and found six ‘Obama’ bumper stickers on our
employees’ cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go.
I can’t think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for
change; I gave it to them.
I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic!

re: #35 NukeAtomrod
I don’t think Arnie was always a RINO. Maybe being governor of California just does that to you. Poor guy. Poor us.
Arnold was a RINO from the get-go. He hijacked the California recall after a bunch of grass roots Republican types like Melanie Morgan did the grunt work to get it started, and were backing the true conservative budget hawk Tom McClintock. Way too many California Republicans were wearing their celebrity kneepads, and they were aided by the likes of Hewitt, Medved and O’Reilly.
Which is one of the reasons I now live in Arizona.
Those supporting the Schwarzenkaiser told us McClintock was too much of a social conservative to win in California. But McClintock campaigned on budget issues, not social issues, and he had talked the talk and walked the walk on budget issues in the assembly for years. He would not have knuckled under to the leftists in the Assembly, the way Arnold, with a Kennedy wife whispering in his ears has on everything from budget issues to gun control to “glohbahl varming”.
In retrospect, it would have been better even if McClintock had lost to Bustamante, assuming the RINOs were right and McClintock’s anti-abortion opinion would have sunk him. (I’m not entirely convinced of that BTW.) That way, responsibility for the financial collapse of Kahleefohnyah would be totally in the Dems hands.
RINOS only deliver for the left.

HELL EXPLAINED BY A CHEMISTRY STUDENT
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term paper. The answer by one student was so “profound” that the professor shared it with colleagues via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:
Bonus Question: “Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?” Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
“First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time, so we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let’s look at the different religions that exist in the world today.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions, and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1) If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2) If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that “It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,” and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.
The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct……leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being, which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting “Oh my God!”
(THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+)

Quote from Wiki:
Wendy Leigh, who wrote an unofficial biography on Schwarzenegger, claims he plotted his political rise from an early age using the movie business and bodybuilding as building blocks to escape a depressing home.[8] Leigh portrays Schwarzenegger as obsessed with power and quotes him as saying, “I wanted to be part of the small percentage of people who were leaders, not the large mass of followers. I think it is because I saw leaders use 100% of their potential – I was always fascinated by people in control of other people.”[8]
Why do I have this strange urge to goose-step?

He’s a coward who did not have the courage to stand up to the Democrats who have financially ruined California. Republicans/Conservatives in CA are completely lost and I am beyond pissed off!

he worked harder and better than anyone else, and he learned how to overwhelm and intimidate his opponents

Will this is a little strange. Popular Obama fansite CNN.com has another one of their biased polls up today. But today’s poll is biased against Democrats:
Who bears more responsibility for fixing the AIG bailout bonus mess?(A) Congress
(B) The Obama administration
Obviously, “Congress” is ahead with 66% of the votes, because this is after all an Obama fansite. And most of its readers probably don’t even know that the Dems control congress, and have for some time.

She’s a media whore like her family and loves “faux” celebrity. McCains are part Californian as granny McCain grew up in Beverly Hills so their social liberalism and Valley Girlisms are real, born of proximity to Hollywood & desire to be cool.
If Meghan McCain were my daughter, I would tell her to shut up and go make an honest living. But her parents probably finance her blog, and subsidize her celebrity lifestyle. Plus if Cindy sold her beer distributorship, perhaps there’s no job selling beer for Meghan McCain at the moment.
Meghan voted for John Kerry in 2004, and her mother Cindy confided to people in 2000 that she voted for Al Gore, despite Cindy and John McCain having campaigned publicly for Governor George Bush.

Ahnold wanted the admiration of the people more than he wanted to stand up for conservative principles. There were those of us who saw through him from the very beginning. But too many were blinded with celebrilust to see the RINO-reality. The California Republicans and their out of state enablers who backed Ahnold were willing to sacrifice principle for victory, and wound up with nothing.
The recall was about nothing if not conservative economic principles. And Cali Repubs for the most part rejected the man who most understood economics and had fought the budget battle for years because the liberal media and their own pundits (Yeh, Hewitt and Medved, I’m talking about you!) convinced them a real Reagan Republican could no longer win in California.

I know how you feel. Just imagine who we might get for our next governor:

Either Newsom or Villaragosa and it makes me SICK! California is toast.

Disparage Ms. McCain all you like, but don’t paint all Californians with the same brush.

Arnold represents everything that’s wrong with the republican party.

re: #314 Nevergiveup
I didn’t know she went to Columbia. I had to go to Columbia in Uniform the other day and I never felt so unwelcome in Uniform. I really didn’t give a shit, but that is how I felt. And I asked the person who I was with if I was being paranoid. He said absolutely not.
And yet, if you ask one of those leftist college campus assholes if they should judge a gangsta rapper or a slutty-looking girl by the way they are dressed, you’ll get an earful about “intolerance,” “prejudice” and “how wrong it is to judge based on appearances.”
But then they contradict themselves. In their view, it’s okay to sneer at men and women in uniform, because, well, the military is the enemy. What a bunch of fools. They would do well to memorize George Orwell’s observation: “People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.”
Thank you for your service to our country. Many of us support you and your fellow soldiers.

Arnold has failed California big time. He needed to brake the public service unions hold on the legislature and taxpayer. He was the wrong man for the job.

Absolutly. The RINO’s have gained too much power. They have no backbone and had the candy store over to the looting democrats. We had a real opportunity with the removal of Grey Davis. Arnold blew it for us.
