Obama Calls on Team Clinton for Economic Advice

Clinton's economic team is responsible for triggering what just happened to the economy. Citibank was an illegal entity until that corrupt group repealed the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933. Now any bank can access the Federal Reserve and with so much money at reserves lets all hand out sub-prime loans like it was candy, the debt bubble just has been ballooning up since then and decided to pop last year. Some think it hasn't even popped yet, just aired out some. Oh where did that economic team go after they were out of office??? CEO of Citi-bank, Vice-president of Citi-bank, both of which just recently resigned due to a $45 Billion dollar bankruptcy their company is going through. He can run a bank into the ground, hmmm, we should get advice from him on the current economy shouldn't we?!? Watch 2012 when social security runs out, Great Depression is on our midst. What an economic team does one year has effects years later. And now he's calling on the same group that did this to us, to fix it now??!? Good luck!

Obama won't ask Clinton for "advise" after calling Bill Clinton a racist. He just asks him to campaign as a fellow Democrat. The fact that Bill Clinton supports Obama after Obama stooped to calling him a racist makes Bill Clinton a better person than me. Obama's racism is what started turning me against him, and Obama just kept on going with anything and everything to win. Obama is not for you and me, only himself. I would not trust him as president and this Democrat won't be voting for Obama.

I'm glad to see that Obama has sense enough to ask the gals and guys who got it right during the 1990s for their help on the economy. The only downside? We could have had a real Clinton as our candidate, but I suppose "Clinton lite" will have to do. It's a good thing Obama isn't listening to some of the so-called "progressives" on the Internet who seem determined to drive the Clintons out of public life. Apparently the candidate is a lot smarter than some of his supporters.

We need Obama and some of the chicago pols for change. The change would be from a corrupt administration to a really corrupt administration.
We need all the schools in the country like chicago, we need higher taxes throughout the country, we need more crime on all the streets in the country.
We also need more William Aires, reverend wright's and Tony Rezko's in washington.

Sorry, HillbillyBill, I know you mean well. But McCain does not use "sense" in picking advisors. He is a maverick who flips coins and casino-plays your safety and your future.
After all, what the heck is Palin? A sage? A soothsayer?
Uh, how's about a Pentecostal tease girl in high heels to attract dimwits near and far. That's the scoop on McCain.

Turned deficit as bad as the current one for it's time into surplus as far as reasonable eyes could see.
However, reasonable eyes have not been in charge for nearly 8 years--and it shows.
Created more new jobs for U.S. workers than the previous several administrations.
The current administration has lost and is losing U.S. worker jobs in record numbers.
Wages increased under Clinton's advisors. Wages are lagging in spite of the new Congress give and take measures finally got a raise in the minimum wage.
It would serve McCain well to get advice from these same people just in case he finds himself in the White House.
