Yes she got help, but like McBush said, there's no help for you peons only us wealthy people.

McCain states, "it is not the duty of government to bail out and reward those who act irresponsibly. . ."
Substiute "the people" for government, and you've got and you've got an excellent argument against electing another Republican administration.

HP makes good printers.

Oh that's what we need after months and months of this crises johnny boy - meetings! Of course! Yes,why didn't the rest of us think of that? You are so smart john - no wonder you're running for president.

That was an "economic" speech he gave, stating there's no help for you peons so shut the hell up and move out now, that's exactly what Karl and Dick told him to say. Good work McBush!

I recall seeing Fiorina often on CNBC when she came aboard at HP. She always put me in mind of a classic American huckster like Sinclair Lewis' Elmer Gantry. Of course, she was promoting a vision of the post-millenium new economy--a vision often articulated in business newspeak. What exactly, I recall at the time asking my spouse does "synergizing across mulitple platforms" mean? My sister-in-law, an HP executive, simply laughed--nervously--when I asked her. Did it mean swallowing a moribund PC maker--Compaq--at the expense of core busness competencies? That didn't seem all that exotic, new, or particularly smart. But, my sister-in-law was very clear on what Fiorina's new regime meant in real-world terms: the first layoffs in HP history as Fiorina betrayed the culture that William Hewlett and David Packard had nourished for decades. Indeed, it meant the breaking of a compact those founders built their success on. What does Fiorina offer us now?

We all know what a great executive Carly was.

Probably why she was fired

Boohoo she only got fired because she is a woman.

In the current environment your post title implies that she received government aid for her mortgage. She did no such thing. She negotiated a good contract. AMAZING how that is seen as criminal to liberals. Why is it that liberals only like victims? Only like those who make poor decisions? The little guy certainly needs someone to stand by him, but I don't understand why it always has to come at the expense of the competent.

I wonder if she's on steroids.

This lady got in trouble at Hewlett Packard. Something about easedropping or something. She was forced out. She appears to be aggressively ambitious.

Pehaps Mr. McCain will be just as bad at hiring as is Bush. Bush demands loyality over competence. McCain appears to be simply clueless.

Thing is, none of this matters, since people will vote for him because he's the default presidential candidate. Mc Cain could do whatever he wants, surround himself in Hagee, Parsley, lobbyists, even probably father an illegitimate Black child, from now until November, he's still going to be president.

Obama's take on this - note the date. http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/3/25/85626/5111/369/483717

McCain omg just a next bush

Senator John McShame, whata guy.

McCain will, like Bush, say anything to get elected. That should be the headline of every item regarding his campaign.

Fiorina was a salesperson.
She knows jack about economics.
