Mike Norman is my man.

I just hate how he tries to make himself smart on TV, and arguing against Schiff.

Even though I dont agree with many of the things Schiff proposes, he is way to smart for the idiot, Mike Norman. Everytime I see Schiff arguing with this retard on TV I just cant take it.

Another thing about Norman, and most of the retards on MSNBC and Bloomberg is that I somehow think they know what is going on here, but they choose to say whatever is "expected" of them on TV. Or whatever they are paid to say, if you know what I mean.

One good example is Ron Insana, who would speak somewhat the truth on MSNBC. After he started his own company, Insana Partners, now he is another Kudlow.

What about that real estate agent nimrod that Schiff always schools on Fox.

Or is he ineligible because he never had any credibility?

The same geniuses who vote for Bush/Cheney are now telling us who to vote for:

NYT -- It is not exactly a distinction that he had in mind, but seven years into his presidency, George W. Bush is in line to be the first president since World War II to preside over an economy in which federal government employment rose more rapidly than employment in the private sector.

In 2005, private sector employment rose 2 percent, the best annual growth rate during the Bush administration, but the rate fell to 1.4 percent in 2006 and 0.7 percent in 2007. In contrast, in six of the eight Clinton years growth was above 2 percent.

With the economy clearly slowing as the final year of Mr. Bush’s presidency begins, it is possible that the overall rate of growth in private sector employment for his presidency, now at 0.53 percent per year, could fall below the 0.41 percent rate of his father’s administration, which had been the lowest of any president since World War II.

One of the weakest sectors was manufacturing. The number of such jobs peaked in 1979, when Jimmy Carter was president, and fell in every administration since, with the exception of a small gain in the Clinton years. The decline in the current administration, at a rate of 3.1 percent a year, is the steepest yet seen.

When President Bush took office, nearly 13 percent of American jobs were in manufacturing. In November, that figure fell below 10 percent for the first time ever, and at last measure was 9.95 percent.



"GOP stands for small government". Yeah, right, Republican sheeple who keep destroying the country.

As bad as the financial gurus are, at least they aren't personally responsible for the death of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. Gotta go with Bush on this one.

Yeah, but the question is "who is the most discredited". Dubya never had a reputation to discredit. He's always been a loser piece of sh!t.

Bush -- and not even close, really.

Can we put Pol Pot or Vlad the Impaler on there just to see how their vote counts compare to Bush XLIII?

If I were to say who I disliked the most, it would be Bush. But I had low opinions of him to begin with, so I'm going to have to go with Alan Greenspan as most discredited.

you didn't put "the human race" up there! I just talked to a waiter in a restaurant and he was stuck with a house he probably couldn't afford; he fondly noted that his sister rented.

it will be interesting to see if trust returns again.

Retsinas most corrupt and Norman is just stupid

i think the most discredited would have to be anyone that said there was no housing bubble.

bush is one of the worst presidents ever but i don't see how the housing crash has discredited him.

his response to it is pathetic.

That frizzy-haired real-estate agent dude on Fox has my vote.

Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) has written to constituents that the
current economic crisis is the worst since the Great Depression.
Webb's Feb. 8 emailing included a denunciation of President
Bush's budget, which cuts key domestic programs ``at a time we
most need significant investment in our nation's economy.'' He
added, ``The President's proposal is disturbing in that fails to
fund our seriously decaying infrastructure programs, while at the
same time, it hides the true cost of the war from the American
people.... I also believe that we can do more to address our
financial security through increased investment in
infrastructure.'' Webb co-sponsored a $5 billion amendment to
the stimulus package, putting money into highway and transit
projects.

Greenspan: The architect of financial engineering a colossal mess. Its as if his plan, stimulation of the economy by architecting a secondary market to put home equity to work, would have worked hadn't the bankers got greedy; the mortgage brokers got greedy; the real estate agents got greey; the investors got greedy; and the individual homebuyers showed their stupidity. Very unimaginable for such a genious.
