Barack Obama’s Formidable Task

Hello Ms. Gloria Borger,
"Need conquers pride." --English Proverb
The best things will come! We hope so! Let them go on! But not to forget the anticipations of the worst ones that will be able to occur!
On the next days, Mr. Barack Obama will face so many difficult things to solve: A global recession is in offing. The stock market has plummeted. Manufactures are cutting production. The credit markets are frozen. Housing foreclosures are skyrocketing. Consumer spending is weakening. Unemployment is rising...It is clear that his path is too narrow to pass!!!
We think that Ms. Condoleezza Rice is more superior than Mr. B. Obama, her paths are the national security adviser, the secretary State; and Mr. Henry Kissinger would travel the success road of American Hopes, his functions were the same Ms. C. Rice's.
We remember a Spanish once wrote: "Traveler, there is no path; paths are made by walking." We wish for that we would walk a path leading to a better future!

1. So far, THAT IS SO FAR, this econmic down turn, is nothing that is compairable to what FDR faced when he entered office.
2. FDR's New Deal did not get us out of the Great Depression, World War 2 did.
3. "The clear mandate for change damands it." Well I guess if the "change" was back to the ways of the Clinton's (good or bad) Obama is going in that direction.

World War II, not the New Deal, pulled us out of the Depression. Some parts of the New Deal worked, others did not and gave us the depression within the Depression. Becoming the Arsenal of Democracy is what got the economy moving.

" Right now there is a political vacuum in Washington..." Yup, couldn't agree more, but I'm just wonderin', How you fill a vacuum with an "empty suit"? Nothing added to nothing is, ah...nothing. Didn't Billy Preston say something like that back in the early '70s - No matter just my mind wandering...
