Clinton did crooked things while in office as well as Hillary. He has to take as much the credit for deregulation as the republican presidents. Its hard to fathom that this countries senate banking committee would give a blank check to Henry Paulson to do with it what he saw fit, without accountability or reasons other than the taxpayers had to pony up for the so called financial crisis to cover wall streets bets, but they did.

Many of the people within Obama's cabinet are made up of the same people Bush had. Not but one Congressman read the 22,000 pages of the GATT proposal, but they passed it, they had their think tanks read through it. I don't agree with all that Obama represents, for that matter much of Washington represents, most are shitheads, and all of them after Eisenhower have pretty much sold this country down the river in one form or the other, and if your not in the club your ostracised. How many men and women have given their lives for political chess games?. In the name of democracy to fight back communism?. Look who we're in bed with today, and who really benefited from GATT, for that matter NAFTA?. Not us.

I think you realize that Bush was an embarrassment, how he got re-elected is beyond what I know to be sound judgement, but things like this occur when we're engaged in war, like changing horses in mid stream, and I wonder sometimes if this wasn't at least part of the motive?. Clinton embarrassed us to, but it was the republicans who kept things going for 8+ years trying to take him down. When 911 occurred they were all caught with their pants down due to them not doing the jobs they were elected to do. It was more a soap than anything else, and the worst of the republican accusers turned out not to be so respectable either, like Sen.Craig. Their mentalities rival that of any city gangs, and like the city gangs whose focuses are primarily doing the other in, and protecting their turf, the city goes under and with it alot of innocent lives, and bordering communities.

Ordinary Americans need to look back and go foward from Eisehower to see which of the parties have done the most damage?, many Congressman served in all those administrations, some most. One thing is for sure, they should have heeded Eisenhowers warnings. Today the lobbyist run the country, who work for so many of those that were bailed out, which includes the mega rich, and special interest groups that are made up of everything we can think of, even offshore Hedge Funds.

Personally I believe its just a matter of time before it all collapses. The S&L scandal is still costing this nation, still a part of the national debt, the interest alone probably surpasses the bailout that was required then. But its still with us. It appears that wall street is doing their fair share in destroying this country, and it all surrounds greed, there's never enough for their self consuming appetites, if capitalism built this country, it looks like its destroying it as well, brick by brick, road by road, bridge by bridge, and the very things that sustains life, our water and air.

The question for most of us, if our grandparents are still alive, mine aren't, or have elderly parents, or a disabled family member, are they better off than those who lived through a time when Hoover was president?. I remember when private hospitals would not even admit you if you were dying on their front steps or at the emergency room door if you couldn't produce an insurance card you would die there. I believe its the elderly we should honor, and take care of the weakest among us if we are Americans and a humane society founded of Christian beliefs. This doesn't mean everyone illegal or everyone on the planet unless we are that financially strong. This country can't even support the people who are legal citizens. Could we as individuals do this for another family if we couldn't even support our own?.

Without question we are eroding as a nation due to all these concessions our government has made. The other is not fighting the war here in our own backyard by giving up our cities to gangs and drugs. This problem is not gonna go away by itself. It may be to late?, 40 years to late. More manpower is gonna be needed to fight this war, money that would have been better spent than going into Iraq.

Just give a good look at the Bush family and the damage they did, and Reagan. Each one is guilty, so was Nixon, Carter, Johnson/Kennedy. I don't know what a good president looks like. One of the best mayors Cleveland ever had was black, but he served no special interest group, he served the people of Cleveland. If I remember his name was Sikes. We need a president with that kind of insight and fortitude to make this country better.
