People are disenchanted -- they wanted change, and when they didn't get it right away, they took to the online polls and voiced their dissatisfaction with Obama. But let's be serious for a second. Bush crippled the country over a period of eight years, why can't we just give this guy a chance to make due? We elected him because we trusted him and why should that change?

Unfortunately, though, in a nation of ever-decreasing attention spans, he does have to get a move on if he wants to spend another four years at the helm.

I'll be voting for him either way.

We are not interested in the government using wall street as the fall guy. It is government urging Fannie Mae an Freddie mac to back unsafe loans that allowed the banks and wall street to cause the problems. The regulation we need are to have smaller banks, to decentralize the risks. Not to centralized the banks and regulated and tax the profits. Let the states do most of the regulation. The more centralized the regulation the worse the the consequenses when something not taken into account comes along, and it always does. The Democratic parties main failure is not recognizing the dangers of centralization. Like any biosystem, government needs diversity to find out what works best. Federalizing everything is not the answer.

I think the most impressive thing Obama has done is cozy up to right wing nut "Republicans". What I can't understand is, where did the real Republicans go? w (Oops--I am so shaken I don't even know what state I live in.)
