    Please read the OP again. I did not slam any deal. I merely questioned if Qbama was
    trustworthy since he leaked details of their discussion during the initial meeting with President Bush.

    Good point. I do not agree with one of Obama's way of governing, but its time to give it a rest for now. I think the originator of the thread needs a hobby.

    ==You are forcing a denial of something you have no evidence of. Its like accusing someone of beating their wife. If they say nothing they are accused by their silence, if they deny it they are accused of lying. There is no hard evidence that any deal was made in the meeting. I suspect that the rumors were started by a staffer or someone in the media. There is no way to trace these type rumors so my best advice to anyone is to ignore them.




    ==Obama has made some poor choices in his associates. No doubt about that. However I see no reason to believe that those associates were anything more than political steps. Maybe I'm wrong. I guess we will have to wait and see how he governs.

    ==I'm not sure how questioning someone's trustworthiness is not a slam. Maybe you did not intend to slam him, but that is the way the post reads. We also have no evidence that any deal was made during the meeting. It is all rumors. As I said in another post in this thread, we should be critical of Obama when he does something that we should be critical of otherwise we should NOT set out to question his trustworthiness or to make him public enemy number one (like we did with Clinton). I just don't believe doing those things are productive. Mainly at this time in American history. Even though I did not, and would not, vote for Obama I pray that he is a good president. Why? Because we need a good president right now. The stakes are simply too high for yet another failed administration.

    I heard the story on Fox News yesterday. What people are missing here from the OP is the key word "leaking".....LEAKING....LEAKING. That is the operative word, LEAKING.

    You can be sure the Bush camp leaked nothing. Obama's camp leaked. Shows unprofessionalism. Why is the point of the OP so difficult to miss, unless you WANT to miss it! You don't leak if you want to be regarded as trustworthy. Whether a deal was struck or not is NOT, I repeat, NOT, the issue. LEAKING is the issue, Folks. The Obama camp LEAKED the information to the press and of course they are going to deny it now that the WH has denied it.

    Sheeeeeeshhhh!!! HELLOOOOO!!

    What did they lead? What is the substance of your charge? So far nothing but rumor has been written about including your post until you tell us what was leaked?

    By the way, you are a moderator and you are shouting? Shame, Shame. :laugh:

    Everybody just admit that there has been no wrong doing, if there has been any wrong doing Obama is not to be blamed, and if there has been any wrong doing somehow it is all just Bush's fault. Then we can all sing Kumbaya and get along... Never mind what the news sources have to say.:BangHead:

    ==First, let's calm down. This is hardly an issue worth getting angry over. Second, let's pay attention to the fact that both sides are denying any rumors of a deal between Bush and Obama. Therefore any leak that may have happened was not based on factual events. It is possible, though not factual, that it was a deliberate leak meant to act as a trial ballon. If that were the case, and I don't know that it was, then both the Bush and Obama teams were probably in on it. Third, let's not ignore the fact that politicians leak things all the time. The Bush administration has leaked information to the media as have every president in the modern era. So let's all step back, take a deep breath, and think these things through carefully before getting overly upset. Besides getting too upset is not good for our blood pressure.

    ==I'm not ignoring the news sources. The news sources are reporting that both sides are denying any deal. One example.

    You're right, Bible-Boy. Defame the messenger, cast aspersions on the messenger, accuse the messenger of making things up, and defend Obama at any cost. That looks like how it's going to be from now on judging by this thread.

    Where's the puking smiley when you need it?

    I already addressed your argument about both sides denying that a deal was struck. But in case you missed it:

    Likewise, the Bush Administration already knows that it is in plenty of hot water with the American people over the first bailout. Do think they want us knowing that they have struck a new deal for yet another bailout? I don't trust any of rat bags at this point.

    Yes. But if they do come to pass, you won't have Internet service, so you'll just have to cry alone, not collectively on here. Better hug while we can. :1_grouphug:
