    Thanks to this carnage, investors are fleeing to Canadian Bonds, which means yields are falling. mortgage rates are tightly linked.

    It's quite likely we'll see 5-year fixed mortgages below 3% for the first time ever in Canada in the coming months. This timing COULD NOT BE BETTER.

      Barack Obama’s aides and advisers are preparing to center the president’s reelection campaign on a ferocious personal assault on Mitt Romney’s character and business background, a strategy grounded in the early-stage expectation that the former Massachusetts governor is the likely GOP nominee.

      The dramatic and unabashedly negative turn is the product of political reality. Obama remains personally popular, but pluralities in recent polling disapprove of his handling of his job, and Americans fear the country is on the wrong track. His aides are increasingly resigned to running for reelection in a glum nation. And so the candidate who ran on “hope” in 2008 has little choice four years later but to run a slashing, personal campaign aimed at disqualifying his likeliest opponent.

      In a move that will make some Democrats shudder, Obama’s high command has even studied former President George W. Bush’s 2004 takedown of Sen. John Kerry, a senior campaign adviser told POLITICO, for clues on how a president with middling approval ratings can defeat a challenger.

      “Unless things change and Obama can run on accomplishments, he will have to kill Romney,” said a prominent Democratic strategist aligned with the White House.


      Obama plan: Destroy Romney

            That's a good point.

            It's disingenuous though. Not that that is unusual behavior from Obama.

            • What's disingenuous is pretending that Democrats are the only politicians being political.

              Golly Gee, if only the Republicans would restore integrity to the white house like Bush brought. This Obama character seems fishy!

              • Considering your support for Harper, your hatred of Republicans is astonishing.

                • What is disingenuous about criticizing someone whom you have complimented in the past? It's not like someone can only have good or only have bad attributes.

                    I don't hate Republicans, I hate partisan hacks.

                    You'll note I regularly have attacked Oerdin for his nonsense as well.

                    And I don't so much support Harper, but tolerate him the most. I do not vote in Canadian politics because I could not stomach voting for any of them. Harper would just **** up Canada the least, at least amongst the last candidates.

                    I'm very much a believer in the free market, but I'm also a person with a sense of morality that is apparently superior to even the most Christian Republicans. I think it is fundamentally wrong to let citizens suffer from poor health or injuries in rich, developed countries. It's still utterly amazing to me that Republicans try to claim the moral high ground by taking away gay rights and making it difficult if not impossible for poor people to get adequate medical care. There's so much delusion out there that it really does anger me.

                      You're being silly here. It's a little obsessive to accuse him of being a liar when a: attempting to knee cap an opponent is a tried and true political tactic and b: there exist much better examples of him lying.
