The Awesome Obama Thread II

Granted, it was an infomercial and granted the author, Larry Edelson,
is selling something. My question was, is there any truth to it? While Edelson says his argument is not based on political ideology, he blames Obama, Geitner,and Bernanke for essentially "selling us out" to the Chinese financiers.

Because even if he isnt, its already too late for the average citizen to recover.At least Obama still has the 99% on his side. The tricky part is deciding whether to shoot the horse that pulls us (the 1%) in order to get food for today or let the horse drag us through hell (of reduced wages and standard of living, in order to get out of debt) for the longterm good of everyone.

Because the real value of the dollar will be forced to come out, and we essentially wont have as much purchasing power as we used to have...all the while working ever harder.Im not gonna blame Obama...thats for sure. Romney would make things even harder for the 99%.

As an idealist, who can you even begin to think of that can solve the problems that America now faces? (Enter AntiChrist, stage left ) I think that come next election. Obama is the best candidate that we have. Nobody else (except maybe Ron Paul) even has a clue as to the enormity of the problem.

Last time i voted for Obama because the union backed him, and told us that he was best for our cause. Now? We are slowly sinking, but it doesnt appear to be his fault. I guess the bill has to be paid one way or another, though I prefer my corporate bosses pay it rather than I.

Morning Crashfrog! I will give you a reaction.... First, its hard to argue with statistics when they are correctly applied and in context.Yet I still read from many sources that our country has already taken the path towards higher inflation (we have a bet, IIRC) and that it will definitely show its ugly head within the next three-five years.If these hucksters are wrong, where do I send your check? The Federal Reserve’s Explicit Goal: Devalue the Dollar 33%Persistent Questions About the Future of the US EconomyThese are examples of the type of thinking that I read. Are they simply hucksters?

Private comments versus public comments. A judge, by being in a public position, can be said to be accountable for whatever he says. If the remark was meant in a private context than no, we shouldn't be mad at the judge...I guess it depends on how the comment was overheard and who repeated the gossip.
