Obama's job was to to clean up the sh@t left behind by Bush. But instead of doing it, he has created a bigger mess.

The Democrats made a wrong choice in electing Obama rather than Hilary Clinton.

The Arabs and Muslims in general were not as hopeful as before. In fact, Osama bin Laden thinks he is just as bad as Bush. http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,628293,00.html

Obama is not effective because he wants to please everyone. He is traitor to the democrat socialist cause by pumping money to the big banks and closing down companies that employ millions of workers.

Sooner or later he is very likely to be put down because he thinks he's a god.

Dear Arjay,

If Obama did as well as Gerald Ford,
Bush senior, or W. would that be good
enough for you?

This was a question that I found on a
website - and I thought it appropriate
to this (your second post) on the US President.

The website asked:

"If Obama achieves health care for all, moderate to
low taxes, environmentally friendly nation states,
peace in the Middle East, electric cars, increases
in education rates, stabilizes families, reduces
homelessness, improves race relations, lowers
unemployment, brings the US economy back to number one
in the world... Would that be enough for you?

Somehow I doubt it.

The best the US President can hope
for as the site stresses is - ' doing well and counting
20 - 30 years of history to recognize his record.'

Dear Leigh,

You infer that the US President was associated with a
'terrorist organisation,' called the 'Minutemen.'

Did you not know that the 'Minutemen' were associated with
the Revolutionary War in America (although they existed
from the mid 17th century). The Minutemen were the first
armed militia to arrive or await battle. Pictures of them
always depict them as holding a musket and a flag. Their
mission was:

"To secure US borders against unlawful and
unauthorized entry of all individuals, contraband, and
foreign military." They were considered patriots.

Just thought you should know.

That's good enough for me, Philip Tang.

>>In fact, Osama bin Laden thinks he is just as bad as Bush<<

If Osama thinks he's a bad lot, that puts the new pres. way up in my estimation.

Incidentally, I think Arjay started this thread as a continuance of his "the banking system is full of evil parasites" campaign.

>>Alan Keys 'How can bankrupt Govt bail out a bankrupt banking system?'...the losses of the Corporates are now paid by workers... many states are wanting to use their constitutional rights of sovereignty,so they are not exposed to the debt liability of the Federal Govt...etc.<<

Do keep up, children.

Foxy,

Yes. I realised that I had typed Minutemen a second after I posted. I meant, of course Weathermen, who were an extremist terrorist group. Obama knew the leader and his wife; in fact, Obamas kicked off his first campaign in their home.

Unlike you, I do have lapses of concentration causing errors.

Bernanke was on Bloomberg yesterday, being interviewed by a Senate
finance committee. He maintains that had the Fed not acted last
year, we could well have faced a meltdown of the global financial
system.

The ramifications of that could have meant that Keyes and Arjay,
might well have had to figure out how to provide dinner, without
money from their bank available, which is easier said then done.

Bush created this mess and ran the US economy into a ditch, Obama
is simply hiring a tow truck to get it out.

As it happens, US banks will most likely be the first to repay
their debts, with a profit for the US taxpayer. Given the salary
limits that Obama imposed on bankers owing money, they have
scurried to raise 100 billion $ in private investor capital since
March and are itching to pay back what they owe.

In hindsight was the whole thing a good move by the Fed? Absolutaly,
for the cost of doing nothing would have been so great to all of us,
that Bernanke deserves a pat on the back for taking this calculated
risk.

Fractelle,Agreed.Bush and his Daddy should be before a court for crimes against humanity.None of our leaders should be allowed a free ride.The pressure needs to put on Obama since he now has so much public good will behind him.This makes him more dangerous than Bush since the perception is that he can do no wrong.

Leigh what is happening in the US now is very relevant to us all.If the States do declare sovereignty then who controls US military might.Which power will fill the vacuum left by the US.How do we defend ourselves?Our financial institutions still have our money in the form of super etc still invested there.

Philip Tang.John Pilger does make some very relevant points.I just hope Obama wakes up soon since he is making poor decisions.
