Obama certainly is a hot topic that brings out insults and allows his critics to unload their fireworks.

I certainly have cringed lately at a lot his actions and decisions----only time will tell if he is the right man to counter the massive and destructive problems this country faces.

Whether you are a liberal or a conservative, you would have to agree that he assumed control under an ugly and massive mountain of excrement. This country was, and still is under the siege of monumental problems.

Again whatever you leanings are, a lot of these problems developed as a result of irresponsible financial decisions on the part of banks, mortgage brokers,and speculators----under the suppossed supervision of regulators who took a vacation for 8-9 years.

There was a sickening amount of greed by people who tried to make a killing spinning off houses like they were monopoly properties-----the regulators couldnt see this and attempt to counteract???

There was a decade of greed, avarice, and financial arrogance in this country that has helped to contribute to a global meltdown and recession. Banks and lending institutions have reacted to their incomptence in lending the decade by now denying credit to hard working people who deserve the loans ------shameful and contemptible. The only way we are going to get moving again is if credit starts to flow again---in a responsible fashion.
