Lynn,
So the worst is behind us, and now it is a good time to buy a car?
Are you on drugs or just working for the government? Even for an astrologer, that has got to be the stupidest comment I have
heard from you, but perhaps many more to come…

billgbg, How sad that you have nothing better to do! Maybe you were on drugs while reading the above, or maybe you need a refresher course on how to read?

billgbg is obviously a troll in need of attention.

You wrote: “It will be quite a while before the dust of the economic collapse of the past two years will settle”.
So you are blaming OBAMA for the economy collapse? Strange because my spirit guide and angels told me that the economy started sliding AROUND THE WORLD long before Obama even announced to run for President!
Now I have to consider the source of this article and take everything in you report with a pinch of salt!

I don’t think Bill read the post, or if he did my irony was lost on him. The post was about the delusion that marketing can create, and the point in the last paragraph is that even though the economy may be turning around we are a long way from being able to indulge ourselves with this kind of frivolous behavior.

PK, I agree that the slide has been happening for a while. I do believe Lynn is correct in saying that the collapse has been the most pronounced in the last two years as the scope of the problem has caught up with us. I don’t, however, see this as blaming Mr. Obama.
for the most part, I find Lynn to be very careful and thoughtful about the information she posts. even the celebrity stuff is interesting from a “compare and contrast” point of view.
poor billbgb, no life outside of mummy’s basement.
keep up the good work Lynn, no matter how silly the occasional troll comment, You are always professional and polite. a good upbringing always shows ;->

Hi Lynn,
Someone once told me that the thing you need the least is the thing that you’ll see advertised the most. Think about it…who needs a car, cell phone or fast food?
Love to all!

PK is another one who obviously hasn’t read anything I’ve written. Anyone who follows this blog knows that I’m a big supporter of Obama. The collapse began in the summer of 2008, two years ago. Obama didn’t take office until January of 2009, 15 months ago. Get with the program, PK!

I’ll be driving my current junker until it dies. I hope it lasts long enough for me to pay it off. But it’s fun to look at new car commercials. The one with the brat who says his parents should buy a cooler car so they aren’t so lame is funny.

Regarding the collapse and when it began. The Democrats have had the majority in congress since 2006 as I recall. Isn’t the President and the majority of congress Democrat now? What program should we get with?

The preferred flavor of Kool Aid has changed. No doubt. But the side effects of sugar overload are consistent and well documented.

I love the new commercial that just came out this week. It stars Dick Cheney telling you Sarah Palin is not qualified to be President! The grim reaper lives again!! Lets just make Cheney the pres. that way we can be sure of world domination or the end of life as we know it? I ‘ m just sayin,,well it’s one idea I just wanted to throw out there!

Ice cubes with that kool aid?

Wait a minute. I just heard Obama babbling about how GM has paid back the loans and is out of the fire financially etc. etc. It turns out that according to CBS, they got 50 billion $ and have paid back only 7.4 billion $. Then the CEO says it will take years to pay back.

Jehnavi, I don’t know where you got this information but the IPO on Thursday raised over $20 billion which reduces the federal stake in GM significantly and the administration expects the treasury to be paid back by mid-2012.
