After Barack Obama is elected a lot of Americans on the far right will be amazed at how much the Democrats will get done in Congress and for the nation.
What we have lacked for eight years is Presidential leadership. Obama is a leader. George Bush claimed to be a “uniter” when he was elected. He claimed to be a so-called “compassionate conservative.” His pathetic track record is one of division. Now, it’s our turn!
Early in the week Americans told Congress in no uncertain terms (80% to 20%) that the bail out program should not be passed.
The Senate rejected the will of the people and decided to ram home the “Emergency Economic Stabilization Act” by a score of 75 to 24. Post your comment on this action.
Of the 24 “No” votes, fifteen were Republicans, 8 were Democrats and 1 was Independent. All of the “No” votes are highlighted in the list below. Only one Senator did not vote, that being Senator Ted Kennedy (D, MA) due to his illness.
Yes, the Senate (perhaps your Senator(s)), voted last night to send new legislation to the House that would effectively force American taxpayers to buy zero value, as in $0.00 mortgages, to the tune of $700,000,000,000…MINIMUM.
If the House passes the bill, the Treasury will crank the presses into high gear, print more devalued dollars and further accellerate the decline of our money globally.
Have Americans been taxed by their elected officials in order to prop up failing businesses? Is this the beginning of the socialization of the U.S. economic system or, will things simply return to normal, whatever “normal” is? What’s your thinking?

There isn’t going to be any Hillary riots at the Democratic national Convention as predicted and hoped for by Fox News and other conservative media outlets.
No, Hillary is going to go along with the Party line and pose supportive for the Barack Obama train wreck that is getting ready to occur.
The more exposure Barack gets, the more he talks “off-the-cuff” the more he declines in the polls. We should have never let him have the nomination.
