The reference to 'shiny shoe' was a reference to a type of people - obviously. Posted were trends and quotes from honest market analysts who advise caution. Posted were reasons why their caution has merit. Posted was a total avoidance of Lookout123's opinions that were provided with no supporting reasons and unjustified professional opinion.

But did the poor little lookout123 get his feelings hurt anyway. Ahhh. That's too bad - until you are willing to answer some simple, blunt questions. One more time: an oppurtunity for Lookout123 to demonstrate he can get his shoes dirty; answer questions honestly. An oppurtunity to demonstrate that Lookout123 learns underlying facts before he has an opinion. Feel free to answer a few simple questions that any honest and informed person can answer:

1) Too many sources, including a video of him sitting in the FL classroom, say this president does not make his own decisions. He is told what to think. He just sat in a FL classroom for seven minutes. He did not even ask if anyone was in charge. What would you have done if Andy Card said, "A second plane has just hit the World Trade Center. America is under attack."? George Jr never even asked one question for seven minutes. Seven minutes when fighter pilots still had no authorization to fire - to protect America. Why? What would Lookout123 have done?

2) With intelligent leadership, then the Iraqi army and police would not have been disbanned. Today's American deaths and the resulting double or tripling of insurgency is directly traceable to George Jr. Administration sources suggest the insurgent number at 12,000 is much higher than they had originally estimated. BBC is suggesting numbers may be more like 20,000 or higher. How does Lookout123 justify a decision that only only drove so many Iraqis to become insurgents?

3) Please tell us that George Jr did not make Iraq ripe for insurgency. Please explain where he made an intelligent decision to disban the military and police?

4) Lookout123 promotes the George Jr mantra. Mix Afghanistan and Iraq as if they are the same war. How is a war justified by virtually every nation in the world same as the war condemned by most every nation? Lookout123 - where does the invasion of Afghanistan - with approval of virtually the entire world - have anything to do with the invasion of Iraq - that was not justified according to most of the world including Canada, Mexico, and the UN Secretary General? Where do you find any logic in calling them both a war on Terrorism? Feel free to demonstrate how an honest financial expert can explain simple world events - to defend the man he advocates for president? Please explain why you think the war in Afghanistan is the same war in Iraq?

5) In a previous post are 14 successful, thwarted, or possible attacks by bin Laden on the US. Name one attack by Saddam - attempted or even planned - during those last ten years. By mixing Saddam with bin Laden, the shiny shoe George Jr intentionally confuses reality. It's called propaganda. A technique to conceal truth or to promote outright lies. Do you feel personally spoken of in a "condescending manner" because your propaganda to support this president is challenged? Please feel free to answer honestly.

6) Zarqawi is as dangerous as bin Laden? Why do you repeat more White House propaganda? When did Zarqawi conspire to take out 10 Pacific airliners, kill hundreds outside an American embassy, or kill thousands in an American city? Where is Zarqawi's organization located throughout the world - or even just in Afghanistan? Is Zarqawi is a major threat only when the president is promoting hype to justify his illegal war? Zarqawi is the threat as serious as bin Laden - or do you always repeat presidential propaganda as fact? Then explain why among the hodge podge of insurgents, former Baathist - remember those people who George Jr fired and were left with nothing to do - are now considered most dangerous of the so many different insurgents?

7) And of course the basic question that any honest poster could answer - When will we go after bin Laden?

How are you trusted to provide financial advise when you cannot even answer simple and fundamental questions to justify your open support for George Jr? You claim he is an honest president - that he does not lie to justify war? That MBA drilled how many dry (unsuccessful) wells and still made how much money? When do we go after bin Laden? Is that so difficult to answer?

Or would it harm your image as a financial expert to admit your choice of president is grossly in error? Do you also believe silly ideas that a 9/11 attack caused a recession, four years of underwhelming growth, loss of how many jobs, and a massive government debt climbing as fast (as a percentage of GNP) as Richard Nixon's record debt? Not hard questons - unless it might dirty your shiny shoes. Please feel free to answer some simple and honest questions. Show us the integrity on which financial advise is based. Demonstrate the truth and honesty that comes to recommend George Jr for president. Please answer some simple and fundamental questions so we can judge your integrity.

Posted were opinions and supporting facts from other sources and that totally ignored Lookout123. But since their opinions so easily offend you, then answer seven simple questions so that we can judge your credibility.
