I asked you about the credit advice because I'm an executive in the credit/collection industry. I've seen a lot of people get into big trouble with cell phone and cable bills. Young people need to be VERY careful with their credit.
I wish our politicians were more careful as well.
It's funny how the rules work...you can say Obama was truthful but McCain wasn't and we have to accept your word for it.
Can you PROVE Obama was truthful?
Can you PROVE McCain wasn't?
I think both of these statements might be your opinion...not fact...and that's fine...too narrow an application of the rules will ultimately stifle a free exchange of ideas.
Back to my statement about being fast tracked...from good old Wikipedia here's a link to a definition

Fast track
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(January 2008)
Fast track refers to the practice of making use of a process which is accelerated in comparison to the one in typical use. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term's first published use was in an April 1976 Business Week article, where it referred to the construction industry's practice of beginning construction before design was complete.
...that's as good a definition as any
I'm not the only one who thinks Obama WAS fast tracked...read this

I posted earlier that since everyone seems to doubt what the candidates say, fact checking and all, m a y b e we should just hook them both up next time to lie detectors and dunk them in a tank of water like clowns at a fair every time they lie.
Might be fun?
I am very sincere in everything I post. If someone tells me I'm wrong, I try not to over-react but instead determine the basis for their opinion.
I think it's our right to demand financial accountability in Washington...31% fraud in Medicare is not acceptable. That system clearly doesn't work.
I'm tired of being lied to and told only what we need to know to give them what they want, ala Bush and his WMD's.
Now Bush says we need a $700 B bailout or else (this is the kind of drama I expect from my teenagers)...nobody in Washington saw this problem looming for the past 10 years?
I posted a story about Warren Buffet a few days ago...really puts the bailout and our next big concern into perspective...derivatives trading...BIG problem...and aside from the people who run the industry...nobody understands it...including the SEC and Fed (apparently).
The SEC chief testified last week before Congress (when Lehman went down)...said somewhere between $60 and $183 TRILLION were held by our banks and are unregulated...he's been briefed several times over the past few months by Hedge fund managers (or someone) to bring HIM up to speed.

I guess all we can hope for at this point is that Wall Street knows more about derivatives than the Arabs or the Chinese?
Anyone determined to preserve the Constitution would appear far to the left by Bush standards.
