"Ken Marino" wrote in message ... On Fri, 07 Nov 2008 20:37:53 -0800, Capt. JG wrote: "Ken Marino" wrote in message m... President(elect) Obama, despite my aprehensions, has my full support. I sincerely hope he makes all of us on the right forget all of the shortcomings we feel he has to do the job. I will be among the first to give a formal apollogy if he starts to do things that help get this country started in the right (no pun intended) direction. My question is why does he have to wait 3 months to start. It would be very easy for him to say in one of the many interviews he is bound to give--"A,B and C are a couple of ideas I have for getting us headed in the right direction. After all, his followers and he all said he was the man to lead us out of this mess. If that is so, he must have had at least a few ideas of what he was going to do to help. Suggest them now. Dem's have control of both houses, so there shouldn't be much resistence. Even if plans are drawn up and Bush refuses to enact them, the details and necessary legislative work could be done, only needing his signature in January. Why wait till January 20th to start the ball rolling? And if he publically talks about his ideas, he has no worry that someone else might take the credit. Show us you meant it when you said you were the man America needed to get out of this mess, Mr. Obama. Start now building the confidence this country needs in you. Things will only get worse if we wait. Why do you think he has not done much of what you suggest? He has. You need to watch something besides Fox once in a while. However, as he said, there's only one Pres. at a time. So, he's got to be careful not to get ahead of himself. I think that there must be something wrong with me. I sit here and write down that it seems a man that ran on a platform that stated he was better prepared to help get the economy out of the mess it's in than his opponent, is not allowed because of protocal to even suggest ways out of the mess. And everyone says that even if he had the end-all solution that would solve the problem tomorrow, it is wrong to suggest that solution and let the people in this country know what is going on. Because it isn't deemed politically correct. It's more correct to let the country go 10 weeks further down the drain. Then people talk about the fact he is rushing through another stimulus package (first one didn't work). And he wants to bail out the auto makers after critisizing the baiout of the rich banks. We need new ideas. He said the existing ones didn't work and is repeating them. What new ides are we going to see and when? If any. He is our president (elect). I don't want toturn sour on him like happened with Clinton and Bush. Obama is about hope and change. I really doubt he will put the people responsible or who had oversight for failures such as Fannie and Freddie in any positions of trust/power in his administration. It was Wall Street greed that got us into this mess and Obama promised it would not be politics as usual so we can all rest easy the fox will not be guarding the henhouse. His cabinet will be the embodiment of change. Obama is a uniter, he is not the type to go on a major news conference and verbally attack and mock an elderly lady with a broken hip while the economy continues to tank. He wants to redistribute wealth down to the lower rungs of society and is doing that by advocating and voting for hundreds of billions of dollars to be given to bankers, large corporations and the like. He wants to give hundreds of billions to auto manufacturers because that will make more Americans want to buy their cars, plus it will save the auto workers union billions of dollars by not having to provide for their members in such hard times. Obama will not continue the failed policies of the Bush regime such as deficit spending and has promised a balanced budget within 4 years. Obama is a great, honest man of tremendous judgement and I believe he will achieve what he has said he would do. |

LOL. Did you see whose name is being floated for Treasury Secretary? Sheila Blair. That's the Sheila Blair who as head of the FDIC forced Wachovia into a $2 billion deal with Citicorp that would require massive amounts of taxpayer money, only to find a week later that Wells Fargo would pay $15 billion with no taxpayer assistance.

I believe that Obama will see justice served. Those who bankrupted the country will see long jail terms - every one of them! It's change you can believe in. Why aren't you a believer? |

... troll sh*t removed Barney Frank and Chuck Shumer behind bars is a tempting thought, but people don't generally go to jail for stupidity. I thought that was the accepted definition of a criminal... stupid. Do you really believe they're stupid? I notice that they seem to be doing pretty well, and the republicans aren't. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

What do you call someone who was cheering for FNMA and Freddy Mac to buy more and more subprime and alt-A mortgages when the alarm bells about their balance sheets had been ringing for some 7 years? Who said "I want to roll the dice a little bit more in this situation towards subsidized housing?" You wanna call him a genius? No. I want to call a genius someone who got us into a war of choice, where 1000s of our soldiers died, where we're spending $10B a month. Or, if I can't do that, I'll call genius' those who've been in charge of Congress for most of the last decade. Maybe I should call McCain a genius because he claims the "fundamentals of the economy" are strong. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

No. Well then, at least you concede that Barney and Chuck are no geniuses. Perhaps that's progress. Do you consider GWB a genius? Do you consider Cheney a genius? Do you consider Rumsfeld a genius? Are you a genius? No for all. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
