Comments on: Like Abe And FDR, Obama Faces Crises

New President Will Have Challenges Of Multiple Wars, Grave Economic Emergency

WOW!!!

CBS has just censored my 8 step economic recovery plan copied from FDR and Lynodon Larouche.

I wonder why they did that?

I hope that Obama is more successful than FDR. Under the leadership of FDR, the depression/recession lasted longer than any depression/recession in US history. Only WWII ended it and that is way too drastic.

Our nation is in a serious financial crisis. Energy Independence needs to be included in the realm of our serious economic issues. Our dependence on foreign oil impacts every aspect of our society and economy We have so much available in the way of FREE energy, solar and wind that can be utilized to replace oil. Hybrid and electric plug in cars would replace another huge percentage of our dependence on foreign oil. We spent 168 BILLION on a stimulus pkg that did nothing for our economy. Now there is talk of another stimulus pkg. Why not invest in initiating alternative energy sources and making hybrid and plug in car technology affordable for the average Joe. It cost the equivalent of 60 cents a gal of gas to drive an elec car. Investing in renewable sources of energy would create millions of badly needed jobs. It is a win-win situation. We have the knowledge and the technology, what we seem to lack as a nation is a PLAN. Jeff Wilson has a great new book out called The Manhattan Project of 2009 Energy Independence NOW. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is worried about our economy and interested in seeing our country become energy independent! http://www.themanhattanprojectof2009.com

Oh I don''t think we''re looking to make him a Saint... we just want someone who will change directions of this nation AND someone who can speak in complete sentences will be a good start! Mission Accomplished!!

The Great President Bush will go down in history as one of the greatest presidents of all times. After the United States was attacked by Cowards,President Bush stood tall. Under the great leadership of president Bush we went after and have beat al Qaeda down. We went to Iraq and freed the Iraqi people. President Bush is now bringing the troops home in victory. I will say it again. President Bush is the Greatest President os all times. Sir 2258

Then you are saying that ALL this mess, ALL the Incompetence, all the FAILURE? It''s just a plot to tear down Bush? ROFLMAO You poor simple minded man, NO ONE can find ANY success in ANYTHING Bush has tried to do.. ABSOLUTELY NONE!! But I guess when you are left with what you see before you and your Party could hold a rally in a Phone Booth in most parts of the country, you need something to hold onto. Just don''t go betting the Family Farm on Bush EVER being sighted as anything but what he is... a COMPELETE FAILURE!!

Comparing Obama to Lincoln and FDR? Don''''t you think that''''s way premature?

Winning the election is one thing, governing the country is another. How Obama handles that will determine how history judges him, just as it has for every president who ever lived.

One would expect a news organization to know that better than most, instead of writing such silliness.

You really should consider taking some night classes... I mean my 8 year old Grandson read this article and understood it completely. He then read YOUR post and asked, "What are they talking about Grandpa"? The Article was simply pointing out the MASSIVE Crisis we have handed this young Black Man and compared it to the closest crisis''s we have handed OTHER leaders! Can YOU tell us a bigger mess EVER? Can you point to any point in our history when the INCOMPETENCE of ONE leader and the total failure of ONE Party has left any future President a bigger hill to climb?

# We demand the union of all citizens into a greater America on the basis of the right of national self-determination.
# We demand that the State shall make it its primary duty to provide a livelihood for its citizens.
# All citizens shall have equal rights and duties, regardless of class or station.
# It must be the first duty of every citizen to perform physical or mental work. The activities of the individual must not clash within the framework of the community and be for the common good.
# The abolition of incomes unearned by work The breaking of interest slavery.
# We demand the ruthless confiscation of all war profits.
# We demand the nationalization of all businesses which have been formed into corporations (trusts).

At every junction in our long history we have faced one crisis or another but NEVER have we asked anyone to face such as we have today! At every junction we have always found, within our ranks, someone who can and does reach for Greatness, this we most certainly have in Obama. With ALL such leaders there is ONE common thread, that leader has been able to inspire and give the People Hope. I differ with all the Radical Right People who seem to want Obama to fail... I believe he can and will rise above all this and he WILL lead us out of it!
