It has now become embarrassingly clear that President Barack Obama, the promising candidate of hope has dropped America’s ball.
Having inherited a ravaged landscape of shock and awe self destruction, created by a man who was anointed the title, the worst American president ever, President Obama had the majority of American’s hope and trust delivered to him on a silver platter. Literally all the man had to do was just a little good and the status quo would have elevated his efforts to one of the most outstanding presidents ever status.
Unfortunately, somewhere along the way this president has gotten himself surrounded with some very misguiding advisors who are proving that the same gifted savvy used to win elections, holds no value in cultivating sound leadership.
Having not chosen to do just a little good, but rather embarking down a path of campaign style appeasement to as many constituents as possible is not change, it is dropping the ball in the final game of a championship and an express route to being a one-term president. In the end it will seal America’s fate to, at the very least, a lost decade.
It will reward failure by rewarding Wall Street and disenfranchise the republic to a century of being decoupled from an international economy. It will make America just a vacation spot; a country club for the privileged who will go there just to take a break from the real action and prosperity outside.
The three bounces President Obama’s ball took, after being dropped were: #1, appointing Timothy Geithner after it was discovered Mr. Geithner evaded paying taxes. #2, The bailouts, which included major funding for the same mortgages that were the very culprit of the whole financial meltdown. And #3, permitting Mr. Mark Patterson to be Chief of Staff at the US Treasury Department, a former Goldman Sachs (GS) director of its government affairs branch.
In one foul swoosh he nixed his promises of better ethics, oversight and the weeding out of special interests!
Which is why the world is now subjected to the daily spin of his manager’s, blasting signs of recovery and green shoots galore. In truth, the reality of America today is a country where 70% of its people do not participate in its stock market.
They have become more trusting of gold, foreign markets and in growing instances, foreign currencies. It is a global disgrace, but America is quickly becoming destitute and broke, leaving its citizens no choice, but to take solace in the ideals, principles and methods of many other countries, which were once their very own.

As for the laughter incident, the BBC stated that it came after Geithner told a joke, those who know Asians or have worked in Asia know that public humiliation (laughing at someone, especially an invited guest) is not part of their culture. The people who "created" this story did so in an attempt to embarrass the current administration, they either know little about Asian culture or expect their audieance to know as little. So rather than an informed criticism of Mr. Geithner's policies, we are given a childish, easy to consume ad hominum message " The Chinese laughed at the silly man !"

Well isn't all of this interesting. I have a simple metaphor that I have developed to better explain all of this tension, confusion, despair, etc...that President Obamas actions are causing. First off, I only want to mention what the first step to repairing a severely faulty roof actually looks like. I'm more than positive that any professional of any race is going to have to tear that roof apart to make room for the newer more efficient and meticulously secured tar paper and shingles. What we have for an economy is a leaking 3 tab roof that leaks. Its there...but it doesn't work. You have no virtue if you can't acknolegde that simple fact of life. What I forsee is Obama replacing that dingy roof with some architextural shingles, tiles, or even sheet metal. The psychologies behind the complaints seems to me to be the same psychologies behind the decisions that got this country into this financial situation to begin with. Why don't all of you pick a puzzle to decifer and put in order.

I for one pays more that 13k a year to cover myself and my family. If I had the choice of changing care provider for less money I'll do it right away. So if the public option is available for less money and same coverage them it will be normal for many people to afford such health care, those are the people that you texasshoe describe as those 47 millions that are upset and do not want it, they are upset because they can not afford it. When it comes to immigrants, me as a very successful immigrant here in the U.S. whose pay a huge amount in taxes believe that illegals immigrants should not be fully covered under such plans, but they must have access to emergency and life threatening procedures that they might need. In other words, they should be covered, but with limitations that a tax paying legal resident will not face. But to simply let them die in the emergency room is simply inhuman and their lives have the same value as your texasshoe in the eyes of GOD, so stop the bigotry.

Dagtan,
I said "illegal immigrants"-They pay no taxes. You pay for insurance because you wish to have coverage for your family. There is currently a law in this country that says, - if you show up at an emergency room at any hospital at any time you must be treated regardless of your ability to pay for the services. If you can not afford insurance there is medicaid for the children and medicare for the elderly. And where is the bigotry that you speak about, and who said anything about letting them die in the emergengy room as that is simply not the case.

texasshoe, you are right, yes they will be treated, you said it yourself. My point is that such hospital if it is a for profit institution will often diver such clients to another hospital. If the person is dying and the such person came to their emergency room by law they have to stabilize the person, not treat the person, note, they only have to stabilized the person in order to move them to a hospital that will take them with no health insurance and their illegal status. I'll give a real life example, if you know about NYC them I urge you to ask someone that is the in health care industry and this example is standard across our country. If you are and illegal and walk into the emergency room of columbia presbyterian in W.H. which a bullet wound, and you do not have insurance and are illegal, they will have to stabilize you, they not even require to perform surgery unless it is life threatening, after you are stabilized, they will send you to harlem hospital for treatment, cont.

YOu should read the story and see what the author is saying and read my first comment, that is what this is about, not about Bush nor bashing Obama. What the author states IS FACT and is easily verified
"Chinese financial assets are very safe," Geithner said. His response drew laughter from the audience...............hahahahah

"RD's thieves (Balaguer, Blanco, Leonel, etc.) steal the ball?"
This man who is obviously arrogant is running into the reality he avoided during the election although he still is so full of himself that he cannot accept the fact that he was wrong on so many counts and combined with his "friends" Reid and Pelosi and the extreme left he will have a very hard time not stumbling and when he does they will pounce on him like vultures! I truly feel sorry for him ,but even more so for all of us for we are the guinea pigs in the grand experiments they want to try out.
Afghanistan ,Korea,Iran and Venezuela will test him severely and teleprompters won't help him get out of the reality of his predicament and the 30 percent or so that voted not so much for the fantasy promised by the "messiah" but because of their po
The extreme left is disappointed because Guantanamo is still open and the gay agenda has not been imposed , Afghanistan promises to make Iraq look like a picnic and most of the nations that complained most about Guantanamo don't want any of the terrorists they defended so heartily not to mention the democRATS that don't want these islamic killers in their districts.
Finally Zak ,it may surprise you to know that he was not elected perpetual king although our commie loving representative is already proposing the removal of term limits .We will not leave this nation to a party that contains so many people that are a fifth column that hates every thing this country stands for .We will remain steadfast and give your people enough rope to hang yourselves since the left is well known to form circular firing squads ,so don't think you have Carte Blanche to do
Sincerely,
Brian Carela.
A dreamer with realistic plans is a visionary ,but a dreamer with plans that are not based on reality is a complete idiot and anyone who follows ANYONE as blindly as the Kool Aid Obama prophet minions is obviously not using his mind .
It is noticeable that Obama supporters either parrot their messiah or make comments that have no substance because they are strong believers in "Magic"....chanting yes we can or clicking their heels "theres no place like home will make things happen..(LOL)
The Obamaniacs believe that if you are nice to people that hate you and want to destroy you somehow they will become our friends and love us,perhaps we should apply the kool aid method to policing and ask the drug dealers and criminals to become law abiding.
People have no right to the money they work for in the New Obama Order ,but people who do not contribute to society MUST have a cell phone (maybe to conduct all their business)
People of such simple minds that accept everything the master says without question and become critical if not violent when any part is questioned of the Obama order.
People like you are pitiful and a main indicator of the collapse of the US in the world arena your short quips and sheep like behavior are a bad omen for those of us who don't believe government is the solution to all of society's ills .
If I give Obama an "A" for his once rosy vision of "Change" I must then give him a "D-" for his naevite. He was handed a canvass bag filled with very wise and corrupt old snakes. Unfortunately, he has lost his grip on the bag.
The American citizenry has always been considered 'peasantry' by the ruling, privelidged class and always will.
The Fat Cats already know; A successful social revolt requires ingredients that the vast majority of we American peasants are incapable of rallying to. Denial and fiduciary restraint. are the basics b
There is no heart left in Americans and their memory fades. Change comes from loudly and frequently protested demands. Change means first defeating the issues that chain us to our personal domestic dilemmas.
Support any legislation that aims towards Term Limits for ALL political officials. Health Care Reform, Congressionale Ethics, Balanced Budgets, enforcing the regulations thatmonitor and control banks and brokerages, and in particular the re-evaluation of our immigation policies.
A single, one time attempt won't get it done. Plague your local, state and Federal representatives. March, protest and let the press bring the message to DC... they have made Michael Jackson into a martyr... they can make your voice heard.
The Chinese are patient and we march unopposed towards their not so welcoming
We are in for 4 3 1/2 stormy years
Last election results I saw and in which I participated in, The Democrats won the White House, The House of Representatives AND after the Al Frankin-Norm Coleman dispute, the Senate. The Democrats nor Obama do not need anything from anybody. So why don't they pass it......Because the American poeple are PISSED off. Who are the 47 million Americans who do not have, yet must have "Health Care". A full one third of them are illegal and the other 2/3rds. choose not to carry employer sponsored insurance or just flat turn it down because it is too expensive in thier eyes. This same idea was tried 16 years ago and did not get any leggs then why do they think they can do it now??
I said "illegal immigrants"-They pay no taxes. You pay for insurance because you wish to have coverage for your family. There is currently a law in this country that says, - if you show up at an emergency room at any hospital at any time you must be treated regardless of your ability to pay for the services. If you can not afford insurance there is medicaid for the children and medicare for the elderly. And where is the bigotry that you speak about, and who said anything about letting them die in the emergengy room as that is simply not the case.
ANYBODY who goes into a hospital, anybody, gets treated at an emergengy room, thats the law illegal or not. I went to the ER about a year and a half ago with my wife who was pregnant and spotting and an entire family was there to be treated for colds. I am not spouting any bologna its fact.
