Looking to the future...

[O-Mac]

Whoever wins this election, the next president of the United States and his administration will not fix this economic crisis and everything else in FOUR years.

No way.

Especially when there's people out there with influence who'll disagree with what that new administration will try to do.

Unless everyone works together to fix this thing it'll be pain and suffering for all Americans for a while.

what do we do?

We all go to Mickey D's and get a Happy Meal.

I listen to both these guys and think ... 90% of what you say is never gonna happen because you can't pass it, you can't pay for it, the other side will stop you for good or bad reasons, no one person knows a better way to do it ...

Susie Orman and Oprah have a better chance at making people's lives better than washington does.

We will believe it when we're told that all the nation's problems lie at the feet of President Obama, and elect Sarah Palin in 2012.




From bad to much worse, in other words.

Obama needs to say this (http://www.bartleby.com/124/pres56.html) to America. It is the right message and the right strategy, and it is once again the right time to say it and enact it.

"All this will not be finished in the first 100 days. Nor will it be finished in the first 1,000 days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin."

Presidents are pawns. It used to be that parents told their children they could aspire to be President. The hell with that ...let me be the next Rockefeller.

Even the revolutionist Ron Paul was smoking something if he thought he was going to get the income tax abolished and the Federal Reserve extirpated.

We started with the Constitution, which is a vague document in many areas, which at least gave a workable framework and then over the next two millenia Politicians have done nothing but add layers of bureacracy.

I have have no faith that today's politians can and will create any significant amount of legislation that actually does good. And trust me when I say significant I'm setting the bar pretty damn low.

Still even though they're under the influence of other things the directions we take couldn't happen without them. This last pawn took us in the worst direction ever. I don't think even the people behind the curtain saw this coming. When historians sum up the George W Bush administration they'll do it with two words : Gross Mismanagement.
