"Folks, this is your Captain, everything is okay, don't panic.
Everyone put on your life jackets, and in an orderly fashion head towards the lifeboats.
We'll start at first class first, and then proceed to the lower levels next, that's all folks".
Off mic "damn we haven't enough lifeboats, but at least there will be enough for the first class folks. But you stewards keep this to yourselves, the last thing we need is a panic. Hurry up and get the boats off of the side of the sinking ship, before the rest of the passengers, figure out we don't have enough lifeboats.

Joeseph Stiglitz and the Vanity Fair article "Reversal of Fortune" Describing how ideology, special-interest pressure, populist politics, and sheer incompetence have left the U.S. economy on life support, the author puts forth a clear, commonsense plan to reverse the Bush-era follies and regain America's economic sanity.

Like the weasel reporter Richard (Dick) Thornburg, from Die Hard 1. His meddling with McClane's family to get a scoop almost gets John and Holly killed so there's a great emotional pay-off at the end of the film when Holly punches him. His acceptance of his sleazy hack status is confirmed with the line "Did you get that?" to his cameraman.
"Did you get that"
Obama and immigration?
John Mccain, accepting he's a sleazy hack

I am reminded too, by the part when both FBI agents (Johnson's) are in the helicopter talking about the casualties of the upcoming assault. Agreeing that the collateral damage is acceptable.
The right to privacy is cast aside, as acceptable. Given that the results intended will be achieved, getting the scoop in order to SMEAR OBAMA

John McCain Has a Tax Plan To Create Jobs
Mr. McCain's plan will significantly ease the tax burden on American families with children by doubling the personal exemption to $7,000 from $3,500.
All you Joes and Janes, imagine you could have 10 kids @ 7000.00 dollars = 70k a year
McCain's plan says forget about Socialism; let's encourage Welfare instead.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle-down_economics
"Trickle-down economics" and "trickle-down theory," is the economic-political argument that the increases in the earnings of the rich are good for the poor because some of those additional earnings will benefit the middle class and the poor through increased spending, investment, and job creation."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle_up_effect
"The trickle up effect is an economic theory used to describe the flow of wealth from the poor to the affluent; it is opposite to the trickle down effect.
The trickle up effect states that benefits to the wealthy will be realized due to an increase in sales relative to the amount of benefits that are given to the poor. The trickle up effect argues itself as more effective than the trickle down effect because people who have less tend to buy more. In other words, the poor are more inclined than the wealthy to spend their money. This being so, proponents of the trickle up effect believe that if the lower and lower-middle classes are given benefits, such as tax breaks or subsidies, the increased funds would be spent at a much higher rate than would the upper class, given similar fund increases. Furthermore, the trickle up effect argues, many upper-class individuals do not spend their entire yearly salary to begin with, which is an indication that they will not spend any additional funds. Instead, they will save additional funds, thereby withholding those funds from the economy and increasing the gap between the rich and the poor. The trickle up effect avoids this pitfall by giving more money to those who would be more inclined to spend it."
There is a choice. Do we want to continue Bushes type of wealth creation, hoping it will trickle down?
You now see the results. Hoarding at the top. Do you see much job creation?

Just like Nixon, harassing citizen groups, by infiltrating them, and then creating or manufacturing causes, so they could bring action against the groups, shutting down dissent.
The machinations of John McCain are like his Republican Party, MORE OF THE SAME.

I am not a Follower of anybody. I would rather be labeled a Tracker.
Follower: denotes an adherent.
Tracker: denotes keeping one under surveillance

Be careful, it may be a diversion, to lull complacency. Much like the Battle of the Bulge.

(Exodus 23:4-5) 4 “Should you come upon your enemy’s bull or his ass going astray, you are to return it without fail to him. 5 Should you see the ass of someone who hates you lying down under its load, then you must refrain from leaving him. With him you are without fail to get it loose.
The Mosaic Law, states that if an individual, sees his neighbors bull in a serious and unsafe situation, he is compelled by the law, to assist in saving the bull' it did not say EXCEPT ON NEW YEARS, even if it should fall on a special day. There is no exception.
The LAWGIVERS PRINCIPLE, IS LOVE NOT SACRIFICE
Why help your neighbor today and not tomorrow?
Because, it affects your neighbor, his family, and your community.
If as according to the verse, you are to do this with your Enemies, livelihood,

YOU MUST NOT
