A nod to Glenn Beck’s new book, The Christmas Seater, and Glenn nabbing the  #1 spot on the New York Times best seller list and just what King’s “friends” might do about it.

We’ve gone from Bush to Clinton to Bush to Clinton. The plus side is that maybe Obama won’t persue some of his nutty ramblings while talking (and spending) his way into office. Unless he shoves his staff aside or fires them, they’re experienced enough to hold the reigns to Obama and make more practical goals. I probably won’t care for those other goals, but at least those probably wouldn’t scare me to death!

What the heck are we doing????????????? Repeating the mistakes of the 1920s seems what we’re doing. The banks have cool secrecy laws that help them hide where money is shifted and stored. The laws were created by heavily lobbied legislators to stop any potential panic that might occur if Americans learned …the rest of the story.

So we Americans are kept in the dark, hand the banking industry our cash and trust they will do good with it. Hopefully they are. In the 1920s they weren’t so good. Again the Teasury worked with the banks to bankings interest. The Justice Department also leaned in bankings favor as bankings top dogs, certain investors and others on lower rungs made off with lots and lots of other peoples cash. It was an internal looting. Few were prosecuted.

Hopefully that is not happening now. Though ditching that much cash into a murky industry as banking sure must be tempting. The sad part is that we’ll probably never know.

I am extemely worried about those that seem to think that Obama will make their economic life back to its free spending days as soon as he enters office. Obama will not do this. McCain could not do this. None of the former Presidential candidates could do this.

This is going to take time. Time to settle the US debt, the enormous amount of business debt and the individual American debt. I’ve been talking and drawing about this for years. Settle the debt and we can play a bit more again. This will take years. No matter what is done, it will take years.

If Obama takes the FDR route, with WPA and CCC projects, he could do what FDR did and prolong the bad economic times for a decade or more. Please remember it took World War II to get us out of the mess FDR created. Based on things Obama said during the campaign, increasing military actions and war seem to be a factors in his plans to make the economy better.

The words Joe Biden said about the new administration being threatened missed the critical words he said at the end of that statement. Words the media continuously snipped off when playing it. Those words are that the Obama administration may make decisions that are not popular with Americans and they’ll need backing for Obama no matter what they do. Those words need to be heeded. Obama backers I’ve spoken to have unrealistic views of what he might do. They truly think he’s God like. I wish Obama would make a speech to help ease these folks back to earth. It would truly help the country and better prepare them for far rougher times ahead.

A good deal of the American people, especially the young ones, think that answers are a push button away. Real life is not a push button answer. Americans are about to be reminded of that. I just hope they’ll keep their heads with Obama, the American government and their community when that happens.

Same Song, Different Singer….He just sings reeeaall good. How long will it take the audience to realize what’s happening on stage?

I’m not hearing the media pointing to the dramatic stock market drop to the election of Obama. It was going up, especiallyas polls showed more of an upturn to McCain days before the election. Wednesday it skyrocketed down. i had predicted a 500 point (dollar) drop. It was 486 instead. I did and do see it dropping more, especially after January 21st. I was a bit surprised at another 400 dollar drop yesterday. I noticed it’s up preceding an upcoming Obama speech. He better say something reeeeaaalll different than he was saying during the campaign to turn this around. The public won’t notice the different anyway.

Everyone…and I mean everyone, we spoke to supporting Obama, couldn’t explain and barely knew what Obama’s policies were or are depending on what he was or is supporting at the time. That includes the Obama lawyers I spoke to. Let’s see what Obama’s supporting today.

Get prepared!
