San Diego Housing Bubble News and Analysis

ok. piggington off topic. has sunk to a new low. And some thought my car posts were bad :)

I think Obama likes boys.

John

I think you are projecting, jficquette.

This entire post should be removed from the site.

Psychics....aborted fetuses....no problem...

sexuality? AHHHH!!!!!! NOOOO!!!!!!

Make it go away!!!!!!

Typical American....afraid of sex and hates free speech.

LOL

What I want to know is...

With the recent surge in oil and gasoline...
The recent correction in the stock market...
The neverending stories of banks nearing collapse...
And the weakened U.S. dollar...

How has the current economic climate affected the outcall escort service business sector, and what are the implications for politicians that routinely pass this business expense to taxpayers? Will there be fuel surcharges? Is it more cost effective if escorts drive Toyota Prius'es versus Caddy SUV's?

Also, under Obama's proposed increase in tax on the wealthy, will the brunt of my tax dollars be paying for outcall or incall services? Is it possible that such services can be outsourced overseas to reduce expenses? Will Congress increase the HO-B Visas available? With government under McCain, will the bulk of business taxes go toward paying his medical expenses and viagra prescriptions?

Jficquette likes sex with his nephews

Must say that I was just recently remembering the good ole days when the repubs didn't have any other business more important than quibbling over whether the President really got blow jobs in the white house
Ah, the nostalgia <>

Peace: Ah, the nostalgia, indeed. And the mis-remembering. I think the whole "President suborning perjury" deal was a little more important than the blowjob itself.

Didn't the Republicans, and Newt Gingrich specifically, also provide most of the good ideas ("Contract with America") that Clinton stole and claimed for his own?

Yup, the halcyon days of yore.

Ah yes...when lying, deceitful Presidents were viewed with scorn.

Those were the days.

Now we just look at their party affiliation.

OC: Nope. I didn't vote for Bush (either time) and find the actions of his Administration, especially regarding torture, rendition, willful destruction of our civil liberties and the woefully bad prosection of the war in Iraq to be reprehensible.

The fact that he is a Republican and Clinton was a Democrat have nothing to do with it.

I was simply speaking to a point made about "the blowjob" and how that really wasn't the issue at all.

allan said: "President suborning perjury"

that's why I said "quibbling over whether the President really got blow jobs in the white house"

OHH, did we catch him in a lie? Ohh, lying about a blow job -- IMPEACH HIM!!! Bush could only dream that Kucinich was talking blow jobs.

Like I saw on freewayblogger "We're all wearing the blue dress now"

I think much of the economic prosperity of the last decade was set in motion in the 80's, although many want to give Clinton credit for it alone. Now as we head into an economic downturn, whether it is McCain or Obama, will they be blamed? Just curious about how this works....

"I think much of the economic prosperity of the last decade was set in motion in the 80's"

I agree, but do you think for a minute that we'd be in the mess we're in if Clinton was still president? Or that we'd be in the middle of this insane war if Kerry was president? Or that we'd still be relying oil drilling to get us out of this energy crisis if we had Gore?

It's not so much the problems one gets dealt - it's how you handle those problems. Is there one example of Bush showing any insightful leadership in the last 7+ years?

Bush is an embarrassment - a person of exceptional opportunities who thinks like a country bumpkin

Peace: I don't think you and I are talking about the same thing here. Suborning perjury is not lying, it is getting another person to lie under oath (in this case, Monica Lewinsky).

Yes, I have a problem with a President lying, whether he is Dem or Repub. However, I have a much bigger problem with a sitting President, who is also a trained attorney, suborning perjury before Congress. A lie is bad. This is far worse.

And the American people have been wearing that blue dress since the 1950s.

Maybe before someone can be the President they should have to pass a psych. test. I would have also said an intelligence test, but there would be too many complaints about the built in bias.

Peace: I can't speak to Kerry or Gore (although I would opine that Gore would probably come up with a pretty good energy policy).

However, Clinton's record in foreign policy is a matter of public record and the record isn't good. In the plus column, Clinton did make some positive interventions (albeit very tardily in the Balkans). In the negative column, you have Somalia, North Korea, absolute silence following the two African embassy bombings, first WTC bombing, Khobar Towers (Saudi), and the USS Cole attack. He dithered for years while the Serbs ethnically cleansed the Balkans, but did finally commit to a very effective bombing campaign.

I have friends who served under Clinton, and I lost two friends during Somalia (Task Force Ranger/Operation Gothic Serpent), and all agree that Clinton was an unmitigated disaster when it came to foreign policy. Bush, however, is right there with him.

Wasn't Kerry the guy who voted for the war, until he voted against it? I think old John would have his own set of issues. And I find his calling those who served in Vietnam "baby killers" grotesque.

OK - I'm not too happy with how Clinton handled that either and I do believe that he came into office on a high tide but the whole impeachment was a fiasco.

Now that we have life-and-death issues there is no movement to impeach.

To quote freewayblogger again "Clinton lied - nobody died"

Clinton was/is a naughty boy but 9/11 would have never happenen on his watch.

Actually there has problably been more "naughty boys" in the White House than not. How far would Kennedy gone to deny his naughty behavior?

Maybe what GWB needs someone to step up to the plate and give him a good blow job. Now who could we get to volunteer?

Peace: Harriet Miers. She seemed pretty dedicated to 'ol Dubya. He'd have to close his eyes, though. I think if someone gave Osama bin Laden a quick BJ every once in a while, 9/11 would probably not have happened, either.

Given that you have a whole series of terrorist acts under Clinton's watch that went unpunished or lightly punished (killing that nefarious aspirin factory, for instance), what on earth could possibly compel you to state that 9/11 would NOT have happened on Clinton's watch? Hell, you have Osama himself saying that the lack of resolve following the attacks on US facilities, ships and personnel was a motive factor and that our hasty and embarrassing withdrawal from Somalia emboldened al Qaeda. You don't think 9/11 could possibly have happened with Clinton in the White House? Really?

I guess we agree then.

I wish Bush would get some head... maybe it'd mellow him out.

As a registered Dem, I am curious to see how the Dem voters will react when their candidate continues this destruction of America.

Because you are right...it has nothing to do with political party.

Hell...I'd vote for a guy like 2000 Bush today if I thought he was sincere. His campaign was a total lie... and so is Obama's.

OC: Careful about taking Obama to task. Around here, that can be treated like heresy.

This country has collectively decided to stop thinking. That is apparent when any discussion across the ideological divide turns into a nasty shouting match.

That we are worried about gay marriage when the economy is in the tank, our education system is failing and our ability to compete on the world stage is faltering is absolutely unbelievable to me.

But Obama is gonna fix it. Yup. Probably the same way that McCain would fix it. Or Kerry.

BTW, I think pretty much all guys mellow out with a little head, right?

The FISA vote was going to pass without Obama.
He had a chance to stand on principle.
Instead, he showed who he really represents.

Those crooks are all on the same side. Republican v. Democrat is a distraction to keep the little ones hopeful.

Kill the 4th Amendment? Check.
Kill Iranian kids? Check.

Big change coming, eh Barack?

Sounds like we have a volunteer :)

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Sad but true OC. POTUS is a mask over the people who really pull the strings. Illuminati or whatever you wish to call them. I sound like a conspiracy nut but I really believe this.

Using the term "Illuminati" makes people think of lizard-people, aliens, and black helicopter paranoia (sorry Denver...not paranoia for you!)

Dr. Carroll Quigley of Georgetown U. wrote a book called "Tragedy & Hope" wherein he explained it all. He calls them capitalists and agrees with this plan. His book is illuminating, to say the least.

Dr. Quigley also recruited Bill Clinton and was a mentor to him. Maybe Dr. Quigley was a "crazy conspiracy theorist."

Allan said: " You don't think 9/11 could possibly have happened with Clinton in the White House? Really?"

Yes, absolutely.

My favorite passtime is listening to the congressional hearings on C-Span - I remember (9/11 commission) that EVERYONE who worked and knew Clinton said he kept his finger on the pulse of terrorism - did more work/briefings before breakfast in one morning than Bush does in a week. Considering that the first World Trade Center bombing occured just a month after his inauguration in 1993.

There was plenty of warning that OBL was planning an attack inside the US and it wouldn't have taken a genius to figure out how it might and did play out. Just one memo should have been enough to put the country on high alert; like this one maybe? http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/040...

Would you agree that it is one thing to protect our mainland against terrorist attacks vs worldwide attacks? Being attacked world wide will always be a risk and would not necessairly hold a president accountable for incidents where we really can not cover our exposure.

OK Allen you idiot...

DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT KERRY WOULD HAVE SAID THIS?

"those who served in Vietnam "baby killers" grotesque."

ok I am going to give my age away here... I lived in Saigon from 1966 - 1972 (age 14-20) as the dependent of a retired Marine Major Pilot (who served in Vietnam 1964) turned Air America pilot so I do speak with a little experience (unique experience yes, but experience nonetheless)

I don't care what the sentiments are of any Vietnam Vet - I will never believe that Kerry or any Vet ever said anything like that.

Show me a reference or any legitimate proof Kerry ever said that

People who repeat things like that make me sick - that includes you.

9/11 couldn't have happened had Clinton taken Laden in to custody when the Sudan offered him to us.

Clinton only met with the CIA director once the entire 8 years he was in office. He was notorious in his lack of regards for foreign policy. He was also notorious for his work habits, sleeping late, being late to meetings, disorganized etc.

Clinton got elected twice with less then 50% of the vote. His VP couldn't get elected, his wife couldn't get elected. Master politician? Hell no. Master Joke is more like it.

Clinton hasn't done squat except get elected. Check out Arkansas, he left them at number 48-50 in everything.

Anyone who thinks Clinton did a good job is simply misinformed.
