Obama's Passive Acceptance of the Republican $2 Trillion Bailout of the Financial Sector may cost him the votes of millions of embittered Hillary supporters looking for a reason to stay home on Election Day.

This week, while Republicans are deciding the future of the next Administration, Obama has been at Debate Camp. But when Congress recesses in a few days, there won't be anything left to debate.

Either a Democratic Congress will have denied a Bailout --and accepted Republican criticism for the consequences -- or they will have imposed a $2 Trillion additional debt on the taxpayers. Spread over 65 million households , that works out to $31,000 per household. You can fly to Europe and buy a lot of abortions for $31,000.

The proposed Bailout of the financial industry will cost Obama the election. This $2 Trillion giveaway to the Superrich by the Democratic Congress will levy an additional $31,000 of debt onto the 65 million households who pay almost all of the income taxes. Most of those households are working class and middle class Democrats.

It will force a lot of those Democratic voters to ask why they should even bother to go to the polls -- and to ask whether they should vote for Ralph Nader if they do.

Especially since Democratic Senators voted for Bush's $2 Trillion tax cut for the Superrich in 2001, approved an unnecessary $1 Trillion Iraq War, and did nothing to stop Bush's theft of $3 Trillion from the Trust Funds for Social Security and Medicare.

We constantly hear that the current Congress can do nothing because of Republican Senators -- but when did we ever see a Democratic filibuster in the last 8 years?

As he heads out the door, George Bush is tossing a $2 Trillion gift to superrich Republican donors –the bailout of the financial sector.

Democrats should therefore impose a $2 Trillion "George W Bush Income Surtax" on the Superrich to pay for the Bailout.

The grassroots Democrats should let our Members of Congress and the Democratic Leadership know that we will vote en masse for Ralph Nader if the Democratic Congress does not impose the surtax – i.e, if it lets George W Bush dump the $2 Trillion cost of the bailout onto us.

In my opinion, the Joe Biden story is a political hit by the Hillary Clinton campaign.

LOOK at the source of the story. The NY Observer is a small, Manhatten rag. It was bought a few months ago for $10 Million by a 25 year old named Jared Kushner.

If you're wondering where a 25 year old got $10 million -- and why that 25 year old would buy a newspaper losing $2 Million/year -- maybe it will help if I note that Jared's father is Charles Kushner.

I see some of you starting to grin.

Yes, that Charles Kushner.

The Early Warning Blog has a copy of a letter recently sent to Defense Secretary Rumsfeld by Republican Senator John Warner , Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. The letter asks Rumsfeld to "conduct a thorough review of the entire legal framework governing
a President's power to use the regular armed forces to restore public order" .
See the link to the letter under article "Rumsfeld to Katrina: Thanks" at http://blogs.washingtonpost.com/earlywarning/ .

There is also information on a military exercise today of Granite Shadow -- described as a plan for "emergency military operations in the United States without civilian supervision or control".
