POPSBest president's for the economy? I've looked at this issue a lot. In essence, we're being fooled into believing the Republican's are better on the economy. They aren't and they haven't been. Period.

POPSBernanke, Paulson, Trichet May Act to Unblock Lending (Update1)
Rates are also surging in the commercial paper market that many U.S. companies use to finance their day-to-day operations. Yields on overnight U.S. commercial paper jumped 0.94 percentage point to 3.68 percent. `The Federal Reserve must now act as a clearing house'' for banks and ``must also take another bold step: outright purchases of commercial paper, said Bill Gross, manager of the world's biggest bond fund at Newport Beach, California-based Pacific Investment Management Co. Europe's Dow Jones Stoxx 600 Index having its steepest intraday decline since 1987 and emerging markets, until now the locomotives of the world economy, hit particularly hard: exchanges in Russia and Brazil halted trading. One less complicated step would be for central banks to lower rates in concert. Traders are betting that the Bank of England will lower rates at a meeting this week, and that the Fed will cut its benchmark by at least half a point at or before an Oct. 28-29 gathering.

POPSWeb pioneer Gross revitalized by green energy Bill Gross is the Ron Popeil of Internet entrepreneurs...or perhaps the failed car man and innovator Preston Tucker ;) I am excited to see what he will do with his alt energy incubator. Maybe he will once again innovate enough to help shape the green economy. But, with regard to his claim of becoming more disciplined than he was in the 90's...I'll take the under. Good luck Bill, i'm pulling for you!

POPSobama: our modern day robin hood republicans say they are for lower taxes... they're for lower taxes for the upper-class. obama's plan truly does our country justice, benefiting almost 90% of our country by making them pay less in income taxes and charging the rich more. just another reason why obama is the man.

POPSThe Folly of Political Investment Portfolios Daniel Gross argues that political portfolios aren't good investment strategies. I wonder if anyone has done a formal study of this. He notes that an ideal stock in a George Bush political portfolio in 2000 would have been Enron, which ended up being a disaster. Well, that's true, if you had only one stock in your "portfolio". Exxon and Halliburton would have been pretty obvious stocks for that portfolio too. They've gone to 90 from 40 and 48 from 19. You sure that's such a bad portfolio?

POPSCha-Ching:UPDATE:$845 Billion More For Global Poverty:Obama Bill
It appears the Senate version is being pushed not only by Biden and Obama, but Lugar, the ranking Republican member. Lugar has worked with Obama in the past to promote more foreign aid for Russia, supposedly to stem nuclear proliferation, and has become Obama's mentor. Like Biden, Lugar is a globalist. They have both promoted passage of the U.N.'s Law of the Sea Treaty. The so-called "Lugar-Obama initiative", also known as the Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program, which was designed to eliminate weapons of mass destruction in the former Soviet Union. But one defense analyst, Rich Kelly, noted evidence that "CTR funds have eased the Russian military's budgetary woes, freeing resources for such initiatives as the war in Chechnya and defense modernization." He recommended that Congress "eliminate CTR funding so that it does not finance additional, perhaps more threatening, programs in the former Soviet Union." However, over $6 billion has already been spent on the program.

POPSRadical Love Gets A Holiday "Here’s what Dr. King got out of the Sermon on the Mount. On Nov. 17, 1957, in Montgomery’s Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, he concluded the learned discourse that came to be known as the “loving your enemies” sermon this way: “So this morning, as I look into your eyes and into the eyes of all of my brothers in Alabama and all over America and over the world, I say to you: ‘I love you. I would rather die than hate you.’ ” Go ahead and re-read that. That is hands down the most beautiful, strange, impossible, but most of all radical thing a human being can say. And it comes from reading the most beautiful, strange, impossible, but most of all radical civics lesson ever taught, when Jesus of Nazareth went to a hill in Galilee and told his disciples, “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you.”

POPSChristian Zionism is Deceitful Israeli Front John Hagee exposed. The deceived American churches were infiltrated and new doctrine introduced unique to the 20th century which captured churches for the purpose of changing previous Christian resistance to a pro-Jewish, pro-Zionist political agenda, including for military action. This also proves that heresy (or errant philosophy) is dangerous since it can have powerful effects on public policy by government. Unjust wars for example!
