OlderBarack Obama Covers Rolling Stone
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama takes the cover of the latest issue of Rolling Stone. Here are some of the interview’s highlights:
Tell me your reaction when you first heard that he had picked Sarah Palin as his running mate. I didn’t know her, so it was a surprise decision. Look, you have to give them credit: It obviously energized the conservative wing of the party. And that’s worth something in politics.
Weren’t you shocked, at least a little, by the choice of someone with no real experience on the national stage? As I said, we didn’t know her, so we were surprised. It wasn’t anticipated.
Looking back over the past eight years, what’s the thing that Bush screwed up the worst? I think Iraq has to rank number one. Although the economy and his failure, utterly, to anticipate the dangers of such a highly leveraged Wall Street, combined with such a highly leveraged federal government, combined with such highly leveraged consumers, at a time when we knew that baby boomers are about to retire and we need to start storing the acorns for the winter — it’s breathtaking. The level of irresponsibility that’s taken place over the last eight years is breathtaking.

LOL
As thou we don’t know that the Jann Wenner owner of US magazine and Rollingstone is a partisan Obama supporter who said he will do everything he can with is magazines to show support for Obama that’s why the hit pieces on Palin and nasty snide comments in Us magazine and this is what Obama 100th time being on the cover of Rollingstone, and he has the gall to comment of over leverage when it was democrats who wouldn’t let the Bush admin. for the last 8 years to de-leverage Frannie and Freddie the two quasi government companies who combined have 5 trillion dollars wroth of mortgagees and half of then in sub prime and how does a President de-leverage or slow down private companies he can’t, that’s why Clinton didn’t do anything with the stock market bubble or the dot.com bubble that grew in the late 90’s and wiped out 3 trillion dollars of assets in 2001, and that’s why European banks who are way more regulated then Americans are in worst shape and more leveraged then American banks. I can’t stand this fool Obama, I feel sorry for American’s if they nominate him, you would never see a person as inexperienced and with his history of friends ever become Prime Minister in Canada, we are not looking for a Hollywood celebrity feel to lead us we leave that to the movies.
