Op/Ed-Obama And Lincoln

About this video:
Last week I brought to your attention the far flung theory of Russian academic Igor Panarin, who foresees civil war in the United States arising from the current economic crisis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_wzMDQgpHw

With Obama's new Director of Intel Dennis Blair telling congress that the number one security peril facing the United States is global economic turmoil, has the Intel community agree with Panarin?

Furthermore, is the Obama strategy of inviting comparison between himself and Lincoln an example in "be careful what you wish for?"

They are nothing the same

Lincoln has actually accomplished something and was an amazing president

I believe it will have an impact, but due to mismanagement and problems within the documents we have yet to discover the impact will be marginalized. It is likely we have at least another year of congressional boxing over differen't ways of fixing the economy.

Interesting interlocution between Ron Paul and Paul Volcker on YTube here: /watch?v=hteimSh42Gk

Volcker agrees with Paul, but his answer spirals down into nothingness, and when RP tells him "that's ducking it a bit", Volcker replies, "I agree..."

Ha, stimulus package yeah I have herd of it. Haven't seen any of that money though. That's the best Obama can do for now? Yup guess I was right. Obama was only put in office because dumbasses wanted to be part of history for the wrong reasons. To see one man take office because his skin is dark. Instead of electing someone who know how to fix this country Ron Paul. Take the power from the corporations and get out of Iraq would be my first steps into rebuilding the economy.

Lets just give no money to anyone, and let everything go belly up. Socialism similar to Canada will fill the void, and the common joe may see the light of day.

-But wait I digress, the crooks have been at work with these stimulus things long ago. Check and TARP, the continual funding of the Industrial Military Complex, and Bail Outs still abound.

At least funds may be a bit more directed at the stateside infrastructures, which will create millions of jobs. Spending with oversight alas
