Trying to be "statesman-like" in calling for "resolve and for leadership" over the financial scene is just more spin and charade by B. Hussein Obama. It was the Clinton White House in the 1990s, along with congressional Democrats, who changed the game by not requiring new homeowners to even provide statements of income in buying a house, in addition to wiping out other reasonable standards in purchasing a house. And it was agencies like Fannie Mae and its power-brokers, of whom Obama has close ties and received their payoffs in form of political contributions, that contributed to the situation. Furthermore, Obama, spare me the rhetoric about CEOs "ruthlessly foreclosing on American families." Your crocodile tears won't wash. If you can't pay your mortgage, do you expect to live there for free? I'll tell you what, Obama, why don't you start your own private fund for them, and you be the first big contributor to the fund.

The year 2010: Lieutenant, what was President Obama's response to the imminent dirty bomb attack on NYC? Sir, his response was "present".

Our country is going to hell in a handbasket. The high cost of fuel has driven up the production and shipping cost of everything. Consumers have nothing left over after filling the tank and paying more for the necessities of life to spend on extras, save or invest. We need to get ourselves out from under our dpendency on foriegn oil We have become so dependant on foreign oil that we have neglected to fully utilize such natural sources of energy such wind power & solar power. Along with modern technology such as plug in cars, hybrid cars, v2g technology ,and regenerative braking, technology we still seem to be floundering as a nation as to devising the best plan utilize all that is available to us and lift ourselves out of this mess we are in. We need to take o ur closest look at which candidates put our economy and energy crisis at the forefront of their agenda. The Manhattan Project of 2009 by Jeff Wilson

Maybe he'll use the money he got from those company's that went under. Or perhaps he'll follow the Clinton model and trade miltary, nuclear and industrial technology for cash with the Chinese. Now that he's a self proclaimed moslem we can get aid from Islamic extremist organizations once he is President. All we have to do now is give up our sovereignty, what's the worse that could happen. Obama 08!

If you only read this paper of course you would have no idea what Sen Obama's plans are. But then again if you only read this paper you'd have no idea we ever had any problems in Iraq either and you'd think Osama bin Laden was killed years ago. Bush and McCain are the same. Ideology will trump reality until it's too late. So how's that working with Bush? Everyone of you thought he was God's gift to the country. Still think so? or are you still fantasizing how much worse a Dem would have been?

Muslim Father A Marxist Mother A Racist Pastor A Terrorist Friend A Jailed Realtor A Racist Wife Did Drugs Sold Drugs And you are looking at the issues this guy is presenting??? What about his character??? His judgement. His choice of friends. My God you people are so blind to all of this. If he was my daughters husband I would seriously be worried for my daughter. I wouldn't let my kids hang with someone like him. Racists, criminals, shady people. These are people we stay away from and all of you creaming in your pants over him. You should all be ashamed. This is not someone I want my kids to look up to. If his name was Barrack Hussain Obama as it is but he was olive skinned, would you still be voting for him??? I don't think so. Wake up people and smell the manure. It's not the issues, it's the man. Obama is not the man to be president. This has become a joke.

B.O. is a liar. You have to understand that everything this guy says---every speech---is being written FOR HIM. He is a DO-NOTHING POLITICIAN (just like the current Do-Nothing Democrat Congress) who is just out to line his own pockets and the pockets of his crooked cronies. President? That position is ABOVE HIS PAY GRADE. Otherwise, junglejim123 pretty much summed it up.

Calling Obama. All points bulletin. Calling Obama. Crisis. American financial institutions in danger of meltdown. Calling Democratic Candidate for President. Anybody there? Hello? Obama? Hello? Calling for comments, advice, LEADERSHIP. ANYTHING. CALLING HUSSEIN OBAMA. AMERICA IN DANGER. AMERICA NEEDS LEADERSHIP.. ..HELP......OBAMA?......HELLO?......ANYBODY THERE?

junglejim..right on..past performance, present performance = future performance. What you see is what you get except in pre-packaged strawberries. The man is so far left hooked in with the Soros gang it's pathetic. They are pulling his strings everyday. Obama has no clue on the economy so he will wait for the Republicans to present a plan then capitalize / modify it and make it is his own. The man is clueless. Now he must travel with a teleprompter everywhere he goes so he can read speeches prepared by others. He cannot handle himself on one to one Town Meetings reason he has not take McCain up on his offer. Can only perform his dog an pony show with a teleprompter and prepared speeches when he is in control of his environment. Obama a bumbling idiot off stage as see on his interview question on abortion...above my pay grade.
