I don't think Powell is concerned primarily with Romney. I think he's more worried about the Conservative Republicans who get access to the White House when Romney opens the door. As a famous Republican once said, "Fool me once, your fault. Fool me twice ... uh, how does the rest of this go?" You don't have to outrun the bear.

It's because you haven't filled out your profile. You don't have to outrun the bear.

A) The harness should fit. Without seeing it on you, we can't tell if it did, but your instructors can tell. 2) Given the content of your posts on here, I'd say go to the wind tunnel in Orlando until you can hold a heading and make simple turns. Kind of like swimming, you feel better about jumping into the deep end of the pool if you know how to swim. Do what you will with the above advice - I'm not there and you are. You don't have to outrun the bear.

You've got property in Bangladesh ?? Kool; so we have that in common. Fact is, the debate was about the economy, taxes, health care - things Obama can't really brag about, so it's not surprising he didn't have much to say. It's a lot easier to say, "This is what I'm going to do" than "This is what I've done" unless you've done a lot. You don't have to outrun the bear.

I've encouraged all my neighbors to stock up on food, bottled water, gold, and silver. You don't have to outrun the bear.

I'd watch the debate if they would include Vermin Supreme. You don't have to outrun the bear.

Apparently opinions on Nader have softened over the years. You don't have to outrun the bear.

Yes, they caught it in 2008 and did something about it - they hired the same guy in 2012 This is from the Huffington Post, Oct. 20, 2008, but if you don't like this as a source, search for "Nathan Sproul" and Lincoln Strategy and get the same info from the source of your choice. According to campaign finance records, a joint committee of the McCain-Palin campaign, the RNC and the the California Republican Party, made a $175,000 payment to the group Lincoln Strategy in June for purposes of "registering voters." The managing partner of that firm is Nathan Sproul, a renowned GOP operative who has been investigated on multiple occasions for suppressing Democratic voter turnout, throwing away registration forms and even spearheading efforts to get Ralph Nader on ballots to hinder the Democratic ticket.

This discussion might be premature. He could file an amended return and take those other deductions after interest in his tax rate declines. You don't have to outrun the bear.

The part I like best is that if they're covered up real good, he won't be able to ID them. "What did the assailants look like?" "They looked like .......... ummm .........damn" You don't have to outrun the bear.

You didn't say why, and it doesn't matter. We're thinking of you. You don't have to outrun the bear.

I couldn't have said it better. You don't have to outrun the bear.

I've seen main canopies with 400 jumps that needed a line set. I've never seen one with a dime stuck to it that couldn't be jumped. You don't have to outrun the bear.

Get somebody to video some of your landings, then look at the video, preferably with a good canopy pilot or instructor. You will see the answer. You don't have to outrun the bear.

Actually, that's about what I was going to say. Demo a Spectre 230 for a few jumps, then move on. Wings containers have a long closing loop, so there's a good chance you can take out enough slack to make the 210 work, but I'd email the container manufacturer with the container serial number and date-of-manufacture and the particulars on the canopies to get their opinion.

1.a) Don't walk away from the stupid drama; walk away from the stupid people. You don't have to outrun the bear.

Now I'm speechless. You don't have to outrun the bear.

One thing's for sure. A teachers' strike in Obama's hometown a few weeks before the election is an early Christmas present for Republicans. You don't have to outrun the bear.

There's one for static display at the Southern Museum of Flight in Birmingham, AL - the U.S. Army's "Triple Nickel" You don't have to outrun the bear.

"...Obama helped sink the Arizona..." That might have some teeth if he had been born in Hawaii, but since he was born in Kenya, you're going to have to back off that charge. As for the 9/11 thing: If he wasn't involved, how did he know where Osama was living? Did he have Osama killed because he was afraid Osama would reveal his connection to 9/11 ? I'm not saying he did, I'm just asking the question. You don't have to outrun the bear.

1) Widely reported doesn't stop at CNN and Fox. 2) Do you happen to remember the name of the bill that repealed some (but not all) of Glass-Steagall? 3) Glass-Steagall was never part of the Community Re-investment Act. 4) Ability to repay the loan was no longer important if you were a mortgage originator who could quickly bundle and sell the loan and put the risk on somebody else's books. I apologize if I read any of your post wrong, and I hope I did. You don't have to outrun the bear.

The fact is, if McCain had been elected in 2008, we would have still had a recession, because it had already started before the November elections. In that case, nobody would have bothered trying to blame Obama, but you would have seen people trying to blame McCain because he was associated with the Keating Five. You don't have to outrun the bear.

That's actually been pretty widely reported ever since 2009 after Obama became President. Curiously enough, when a Republican controlled Congress fixed the banking regulations in 1999, they didn't repeal CRA, they repealed the affiliation rules in Glass-Steagall. It's also been widely reported that CRA loans performed better, not worse, than loans made by IMC's which weren't forced by CRA to make loans. The CRA also didn't force securitization of loans, and it didn't force rating agencies to give AAA ratings to securities that included no-doc loans or loans to poor people in bad neighborhoods, or any of the other practices that transformed a home ownership bubble into a housing investment crisis.

Stewart's cream soda, IBC root beer, there are lots of choices, but you must bring a case of beer or acceptable substitute for this event. Don't let anybody start you off on the wrong foot by telling you different. You don't have to outrun the bear.

That was pretty harsh. Dead-on accurate, but harsh. You don't have to outrun the bear.
