President Elect Obama's team is strong, and smart, also experienced.

Obama - gave us hope,

Obama - gave us the confident,

Obama will lead us to the bright future.

It is a important historic time.

I wish President elected Obama, his family and team and everyone have a wonderful holidays and happy New Year.

Amazing how deregulation, or a non-enforcement mindset in govt, ends up harming those very industries that fought regulation.

Wall Street lobbied so hard to "lift the barriers" that supposedly threatened its ability to compete globally. Well folks, our primary competitive edge - more so than clever financial instruments - was that foreigners saw us as a "safe haven" for their money. Maintaining that edge now will take a lot of luck - and competent, ADULT regulators!

Good start, Mr. Prez-elect

Did you know that the Federal Reserve Bank is not federal? That it is held by private owners?

That is is directly unconstitutional?

That the IRS is not legal?

That inflation and debasing of the US dollar is the deterministic end result of the current system, which prints money out of thin air, thus enslaving everybody that don't get the money first?

The difference b etween George Bush and Obama is that one was expected to criticise George Bush and one is not expected to criticise MR OBAMA.

Peter Schiff needs to be at the top of your economic advisors.

Peter Schiff needs to be the top economic advisor if you want to get the country out of the economic mess.

Theres's one thing President-Elect Barack Obama forgot to say:

Is that if this Global Financial Crisis has though us anything is that a Major Financial Crisis are caused by Economic Bubbles.

& that regulators should from now on always be on the look out to see if an economic bubble is starting & crush it in its early stages before the economic bubble becomes too big to stop it, & yet have another Economic Crash like today's 2008 Financial Crisis in the future.
