What happens when you elect a president that is the most far left radical liberal anyone could imagine??
-------------------
That's laughable... by the standard of any other country in the world Obama is a moderate conservative... only far right wing nut bars would ever say he's a liberal.
=====================
BS! Obama is a communist, pure and simple...there's no left or right to the man...he's a narcissistic sociopath with a pathological lying habit. - Reply to this comment

Mr Obama scared me from the very start when you can't tell us your real name and where you were really born that is a real problem evertime he opens his mouth a lie comes out of it and that is a fact.

What's REALLY scary is people such as yourself may actually exercise their right to vote. Next time you chose to do so, might I suggest a simple coin flip? It'd be a more practical and more informed option for you. - Reply to this comment
- When you are born your parents bless you with a "name". The president was given the name Barrack Hussein Obama, if he could of chosen his own name, it would of been something so different. Perhaps, Adam, but alas it was out of his hands. He is a man with ideas, but he is given daily reports of what issues are demanding and what he can do. He is told by the congress, what to do. He attends meetings, he appoints people he thinks are the best for the job at hand. He has sleepless nights. He has agreed to take the job of rebuilding the U.S.A. we are in times of despair, a recession, high crime, bank woes, GM woes, could his job get any harder? Do you want the job? He is doing the best he can, trying to fix what he can, and encouraging the uneducated to get educated for the future. I admire him for the very fact that he even "accepted" the challenge. Now say something nice or please say nothing at all. Walk a mile in my shoes applies here. We don't know his stress, what he is told, and ect. It takes everyone working together and no bickering, he said in one of his meetings to the press, "I can't snap my fingers, or push buttons" to get actions. We have to roll up our sleeves and pitch in. We all must take this attitude. Here's to a better tomorrow. Pray for your president, I am sure he would appreciate it. Try really hard to be kind. Kindness is so welcome, everywhere.

- The Republican Party is not a very funny joke. Quite the opposite, they need to check into the nearest mental ward. To blame Obama for the economy is like blaming the Pope for Islam.

This is happening on Obama's watch.
Obama is to blame
It's that simple!
OBAMA = One Big A** Mistake, America!
Your comment is just more GOP trash talk. The GOP creates the mess then blames it on the Democrats as efforts are made to clean it up. You can't deny that the GOP agenda is what caused this mess. With people like you and your kind, who needs enemies? - Reply to this comment
- chap07181969, You know. The american people cannot be that stupid. Use logic about on one's clock. Why are republican's infallible to this rule. It seems like whenever something was wrong with Bush, it was clinton's fault. At the very least show some responsibility and admit to the fact that this started under Bush's clock. That the debt ballooned under bush, the distribution of wealth worsened considerably under Bush, as did the well-being of the poor and large segments of the middle class.
If you show some consistency, maybe you can convince people. In the meantime, the fact remains that governments with good democratic oversight and strict regulations and even nationalized banks, (Canada and India) have not been affected by this crisis. Obama's policies (that "communist") are a mere continuation of Bush's. Aid for these corrupt corporations, no accounting of the monies received, no nationalizations. A non-ideologue would at the very least want to study why countries with nationalized banking systems have avoided this crisis. They would also see about what good points could be learned from this. In the meantime, despite your babble, reality will trump it. The sheep's babble will not make the banks work again. And neither will it prevent the dollar from being destroyed, unless we seriously change our ways... - Reply to this comment

- Hey Tinsley:
You have this speech down pat. Can't say I agree with everything, but on many fronts you are absolutely right. Whatever the case, hunker down, because we are in for a long slog. Did not vote for Obama, but nobody could do any better, and he is not doing that good og a job YET. I hope he can turn it around, but I am starting to have my doubts. You guys have a great week.
- Hey Tinsley:
- PS. When the rest of the world finally drops our dollar laden with war-debt, of which they are already tired; and when they logically opt for a neutral currency and not an imperial currency (why after all, should the rest of the world have to use our currency which no longer represents a responsible country at the very least in terms of keeping its financial house in order?) I am not being subversive in asking this, the rest of the world is asking this right now. We need to know what they are asking themselves; because they are moving in this direction right now. America needs to see that whether our Fox news, and the public is in a 50's style inspired delirium of the US being the leader of right and all that jazz, well the rest of the world no longer buys it. It just doesn't. Our actions are just too blatant. No superficial change of presidency will change that, especially if the activities remain the same, and the Pentagon head remains as the same person under Bush. Even if we choose to be ignorant and see our country with rose colored glasses, the rest of the world knows our history knows our imperialist actions all over the world (especially the Middle east and Latin america) against democracies and dictatorships alike. Notwithstanding our rush to go to church on sundays, after listening to songs that degrade women children and make light of murder. Whatever we want to believe is no longer going to mean a darned thing. We can pretend that the US is the best country in the world, but when the rest of the world dumps our worthless imperialist dollars, that is when our ignorance is going to bite us in the ar*e. Closing your eyes will not make the problem go away. When this happens, we are going to be a third world country, or something approaching one in all respects. Surely, our "Wise" leaders will opt for war as the sure way to put money into the economy (instead of needed social programs, because it becomes 'socialism' when it is for the well-being of people) We will march on like good christian soldiers killing for profits and wealth, and will morph into our purely imperialist form until our empire definitively collapses or humanity is destroyed, whichever one we collectively choose to do...
Until then, have fun with your war video games that you give your children, your wars for profits and oil, your zeal for creating new WMD's and biological weapons. Our country is really hardly better than Iran, and certainly more dangerous and feared globally than it. - Reply to this comment
- This economy is going to get worse and Obama is not going to be able to fix it. Obama is going to be too little too late, even as our Soviet Media will try to sell him as some radical; because the elite is painting him as the evil sacrificial cow for all of the evil that they have sponsored. The neocon attempt at global domination has left Americans with rightful suspicions of our government's activities and democratic legitimacy and transparency. We know our government is lying; and this economic mess, and deficit, and socialism for the wealthy and our deficit military spending is only a confirmation of this. The neocon economy is what caused this to begin with. But conservative OBama has opted for socialism for the wealthy who caused this mess in large part to begin with. Only banana republics would not require any accounting for the massive Bank aid that has been received. And our daily reality is confirming that we are presently living in a banana republic, not because of OBama but because multinationals and the pentagon (its ally) runs the show and not our own government. THis is only the beginning, baby. The empire is falling! If you have a way to get out do so now. In the meantime stop supporting multinational corporations, and their elites, buy local shop local, keep your money local. These vampire parasites have to go. If they have their way, the next sweatshops will be in your neighborhood, if we are not careful.

- Congress was Democrat during the S&L crisis just like today. While we had Republican congresses from 2001 to 2006 there were 22 bank failures or an average of 3.75 per year. Since we got a Democrat congress in 2007 there have been 84 bank failures in just 2-1/2 years or an average of 34 per year!!!!
It's funny how Dems always want to ignore he correlation between Deomcrat Congresses and bad economic results. - Reply to this comment
- Larry Summers says the economy is getting better because less people are googling "economic downturn"!
Tim Geitner says he can see a "light at the end of the tunnel!"!!
The Labor Department says there were ONLY 533,000 new unemployment claims last week!
Obama has ordered that all government offices hang a picture of the cartoon character Alfred E. Newman from MAD Magazine which will carrying Newman's famous words; "What? Me Worry?"!!!!
Maybe someone SHOULD!!!!!!

- Mr-Man ... Was it a rogue GOV in 87 when the Savings and loans were seized?... dumb as dirt and still PO'd that Obama is President is not a good argument for your cause. The FDIC has seized 100's if not 1000's of failed "CAPITALIST" money institutions that were mismanaged since inception and many during your trickle down messiah's Reagan tenure!. They are what protect you paltry savings as you obviously do not have much money insured. Dumb as dirt and a FAUX news addict as well!!

- I was listening to Bloomberg the other day, and it was estimated that over 50% of all American consumer dollars were held by 10 banks. That is pretty alarming, especially when the government (FDIC) determines viability based on their criteria; which is not practical.
If the criterium are not met, they seize the bank assets. Temecula Valley should never have been seized. I think mega-banks are going to be the future of banking. If that is the case, than they need to remove a few CEO's and boards to ensure fair representation for all consumers. - Reply to this comment

- Trash Obama or Trash Bush, both poster boy puppets for the ultra-rich owners of the Federal Reserve, who've created this economic crisis to rob America of its riches, as they periodically do.
Dem or Rep, doesn't even matter, they both work for the Rothchilds and the Rockerfellers who own the Federal Reserve.
The game is to keep us fighting about Dems and Reps and the joke is on everyone who doesn't understand that.
- First, I think you're right! They are trying to consolidate banking into four or five hands, ultimately to ONE!
Your suggestion makes sense, but if it is consolidation to a couple and ultimately to one, then it's really NOT about FAIRNESS at all, is it?!
They certainly are NOT concerned about that!
Second, concerning Mr. Obama not keeping his word as other posters have noted; it's NOT about socialism, communism, marxism, or ANY of that c*r*a*p! It's about politicians, in Washington, D.C., republican AND democrat, who are 'bought off' and are engaged in 'selling out' the American way-of-life and THAT is the 'cord that binds us all together'!
Whatever your political beliefs are, if the current seated government IS successful at 'crashing the economy' you can forget about your future and the future of your children!
So, I'd suggest you don't get side-tracked arguing over 'side issues',
and take whatever actions you can to replace those in government from
your respective states that you do not trust or who have performed poorly and don't deserve to be sent back!
OR,---anything else you choose to do! Good luck.
