(Kerry was never President. I may have mentioned Superman, Batman, or the Easter Bunny, but THEY couldn't do it either.) Also, it will take MORE than just "the person who is in charge RIGHT NOW" to implement any solution. (Would you feel any better if it was McCain/Palin's problem? Actually, this problem impacts most of the people on the planet.)<BR/><BR/>(Ron H.) "...investment and banking is the life blood that pumps through this country" - so taxpayers should condone the ponzi scheme, reward the perpetrators handsomely, and eat all of the bad debt while not assuming OWNERSHIP of the failed financial institutions? And, by the way, "Wall Street Investor" means "Rich White Male" (spot-on, absolutely correct) is not limited to Liberal circles - it is just a fact...unless of course you refer to the foreign investors who hold SO much in US Treasury securities. (Rich males of white and other colors.)<BR/><BR/>Thanks Zooma for any/all of the music and the forum...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-69713979202370211.post-58993567732736345402009-02-25T20:01:00.000-05:002009-02-25T20:01:00.000-05:00This is OBAMA's problem.

But it seems it has become the Liberal way to paint with a big brush, something conservatives have been accused of doing since Hector was a pup.<BR/>Everyone has to realize that investment and banking is the life blood that pumps through this country, and it obviously isn't making it to the "brain".......<BR/><BR/>Ahh, but those '77 shows.. : )<BR/><BR/>Thanks Zoooma!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-69713979202370211.post-47549388334822021112009-02-25T18:33:00.000-05:002009-02-25T18:33:00.000-05:00First, I'll say again that I'm in the same situati...First, I'll say again that I'm in the same situation as you and everybody else who is not included in the wealthiEST 2% and has their retirement invested in Wall Street, so I may be feeling very similar. You keep blaming the President. This President (or if McCain had been elected, or Bush or Clinton had been permitted a special third term...) can't flip a switch to immediately restore investor confidence. This problem has been building longer than the last three quarters. This is a very complex set of problems, especially if you consider the foreign holders of US Treasury securities, compounded by the fact that the US economy has become debt dependent (rather than the long gone days of leading the world in producing goods and services). Unfortunately, as much as we would rather dismiss giving Obama more time as a load of crap, it seems there will be no quick and easy solution. I think some of the things he's propsing are good, and I hope that the package will not include bullshit "pet projects" some democrats feel they are entitled to since they got nothing during the previous eight years (- yes, I know they are assholes on both sides of the aisle). I hope Obama is genuine.<BR/><BR/>We do agree - as you said, At least there's good music to listen to.
