If most Americans had even an ounce of the integrity that hydrocitg has we wouldn't be in this mess. Let's all be the Americans we're supposed to be and pull ourselves up by our boot straps and take responsibility for our lives being grateful to live in this country and do our part to improve our situation not whine and say government save me!!Thanks hydrocitg for the great example!!!

The free market just need to correct itself.The Government has no place in control over something that should naturally occur when it has gotten this far out of hand. They could take back and control the flow of money though.Something that Congress should never have lost control of.

"One nice thing about the situation I find myself in is that I will be held accountable. I've got four years. ...And a year from now I think people are going to see that we're starting to make some progress, but there's still going to be some pain out there. If I don't have this done in three years, then there's going to be a one-term proposition." --President Barack Obama to Matt Lauer on NBC's "Today," Feb. 2, 2009

The early 20th century American social critic and humorist H. L. Mencken, known for his "definitions" of terms, defined a demagogue as "one who will preach doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots."

Demagogy (also demagoguery) (Ancient Greek δημαγωγία, from δῆμος dēmos "people" and ἄγειν agein "to lead") is a strategy for gaining political power by appealing to the prejudices, emotions, fears and expectations of the public — typically via impassioned rhetoric and propaganda, and often using nationalist, populist or religious themes.

If you will notice he merely uses faulty logic and Sophistry and deflects criticism of his policies with empty rhetorical appeals.

Ground Zero for this "MESS" is the Affirmative Action in Lending Act. Which forced banks to give mortgages to people with bad credit simply because they were black. Thank you so very much ACORN.

It was a George Herbert Walker Ideology that has run it's mile. It's hackneyed and you buy into that propaganda bullshit b/c you don't agree with them, well boo hoo, get used to medicine for people who can't afford to die either.
