Debate II : John "Smiley" McCain -versus- Barack Hussein Obama :
The Second Radio Impression : VOICE Image : How Did They SOUND

Debate II : Stand-Up Debate {Questions} in a Town Hall Setting

- John "Smiley" McCain's "Soft" Voice and simi-formal
'my friends' did not resound in my mind when he spoke.
A Radio Listener {Voters} would start looking around the
Room and not at the Radio while they were Listening. {I Did}

- Barack Hussein Obama Soft" Voice did not resound
in my mind when he spoke; he had a few more sound
pauses then McCain. A Radio Listener {Voters} would
start looking around the Room; and not at the Radio
while they were Listening. {I Did}

No Clear Winner : No Clear Loser : Both simply "Mouthed"
Redundant Sound Bites of Facts : Trying to Get Their Message Across
{ This Was Boring Radio Listening }

Poor Voice Presence by Both - Neither Voice Projected
Beyond the Speaker in the Radio : Did I Get Convinced : NO.

=PS= If you were not very 'interested' in : What They Had
To Say : This Would Have Been A Dial Spinning Event.

Ford at 2 bucks a share? GM at under 5 bucks a share? That's where they
closed today... Good buys or ...good bye???

Heck of job, Georgie! * *:-(

Think wind power

Think Fluidized coal

thing solar

think nuclear

Think rebuilding highways

think transmission lines

think a good mutual fund

( and 3-5 years )

would be a better idea than cherry picking stocks.

All kidding aside, hope your portfolio didn't take too big a hit...

The Derivation of the Term "Flim-Flam" Man (Con Artist)
is debated, but may come from the 1930s Law Firm of
"Flam & Flam" who were Lawyers of less-than-sterling
repute in the Immigrant Neighborhood of 165 East 121st St.
in New York City.

Not a dime... I've been on the sidelines as far as stocks and mutual funds go
since the peak a year ago.

All cash at the moment, just waiting for the dust to settle, and it may be
soon.

I'm in the same place and I just closed one of my brokerage accounts to
consolidate.

I think we will be waiting a bit longer before things stop trending
down. Maybe that is the lesson of 2008 whether it is the solar cycle or
the stock market we need to learn more patience.

Oh, forgot to mention that my arbitration is scheduled against
Huntington on the 18th November!

Good luck with that.

And, as always, don't do business with The Huntington Investment
Company.

Don't do business with Salomon Smith Barney either unless you want your
execution orders screwed up. They deliberately screwup your orders to
benefit themselves. Unless you are a big wheel you will not treated
fairly by them. Their customer service is lying scum.

Not to be confused with the nearby law firm of Dewey, Cheatham and Howe.

- John "Smiley" McCain's Face looked Older and his Shoulders
looked Bent and his Body looked Stiff; plus he Spoke most of
the time with a soft Voice and generally moved and look around
the Room; and not directly to the TV Viewers {Voters} that were
watching.

+ Barack Hussein Obama Face looked Younger and he stood
Tall; but he looks kind of Skinny; he too Spoke most of the
time with a soft Voice and did not move around the Room as
much; instead stopping and Posing for the Camara; but again
he too did not look directly into the Camaras and speak Directly
to the TV Viewers {Voters} that were watching.

No Clear Winner : The 'Edge' goes to Obama

Poor Visual Presence by Both - Neither Commanded the Stage

Poor Voice Presence by Both - Neither Projected Beyond the Stage

This Town Hall {Staged} Setting and Their Performance was NOT Good
TV.

HYPOCRITE? WHO ME?? HOW DARE YOU!!!
 

And I resent the hell out of all you who are attacking me for being
one! Yes I am a conservative small government Republican.

And yes I have always voted to place in power individuals who insured
that you, the hard working taxpayer who paid for my existence, never
received the gravy train of benefits and job security I received for
32 years as a government bureaucrat.

And no I will not apologize for asking you to pony up $700,000,000,000
to rescue my generous government pension which my 401k stock portfolio
is tied into.

And yes I am a fervent free market survival of the fittest capitalist.
But this taxpayer bailout is different because it involves me and my
stock portfolio.

And no that doesn't make me a hypocrite because I am just looking out
for me and my family. All my adult life me and my family have enjoyed
a very comfortable lifestyle courtesy of you the taxpayer and we
deserve to continue to do so.

Enough said. Case closed. I win.

As always I'm just another plain old Mister-Know-It-All !
Retired, Healthy and Free ! -Hey- That's Me :o) ~ RHF
