Barrack Hussein has been elevated by our anti-war liberal news media to rock star status - as such, things like issues and negative comments have no place.
He's a STAR!
He's also young looking, black, a Democrat, and an uber lib - and that’s why our media elevated him to rock star status. As his supporters excited proclaim, “It’s time we had a Black President!” That’s all that matters.
A lot of people are concerned about what will happen if Barrack Hussein Obama becomes President. I don’t want to see it, but I’m not exactly terrified at the thought.
He did nothing as a US Senator during his few months in office, did nothing as a State Legislator, and I doubt he’ll do much as President. Our Congress has been controlled by the Democratic Party for years and hasn’t done a thing.
Maybe he won’t hurt us so much after all.
Many people (MOST people?) are worried about the economy.
We are continually bombarded by the media with comments about how bad it is. News shows, talk shows and even TV ads continually remind us. Consumers and investors lack confidence. Nothing will change until we regain confidence.
How will that confidence be regained if we're continually told how bad it is?
The DOW drops and we're submitted to a diatribe lasting several minutes. When it raises we're lucky to hear it about it for a few seconds.
Yes, I know that only bad news sells. But - I hold our news media as responsible for the continuing economic slide as much as I hold the people who recklessly signed adjustable rate mortgage contracts.

President Obama has been I office for nearly 2 months now.
I was wrong. He isn’t “doing nothing”, he is hard at work pushing whatever Nancy Pelosi wants. Our President and Democratic Party controlled Congress have passed Trillions of dollars in new spending. Our debt is now as high as all previous debit spending combined. I wonder who’s going to loan us the money. Our previous creditors - China, Japan and the Arabs - have their own economic problems.
President Obama has promised that “The Rich” will pay for it, resulting in the collapse of the stock market and massive layoffs. If I was a business owner and thought my taxes would rise dramatically I too would be in a hurry to lean my operation by laying off employees. The drop in business would add to it. Consumers are reluctant to buy. They are afraid of losing their jobs or of being taxed into poverty. Others are watching their retirement funds shrink. It’s a vicious cycle.
Until Democrats realize “Wall Street” isn’t made up of “Fat Cats” but is composed mostly of people investing for retirement, company and union retirement funds and a few large investors nothing will change. “Wall Street” is Main Street.
As a pundit said, “We can’t borrow our way to prosperity.”
