The “change” that Barack Obama has promised us is nothing more than a campaign slogan. While change is desired, it is very difficult to implement. Nobody needs ideological change, but we all want practical change. The later takes time and lots of work.
I am happy to say that Obama’s administration is beginning to take shape. It is being assembled of moderates from Clinton’s administration. I am also elated that the extreme liberal wing nuts that supported Obama during the campaign trail are not being included in this administration.
Let us all hope that the next 4 or 8 years are going to be taken in stride and caution. No one needs radicalism. American economy is not some “Hot IPO” that needs to skyrocket in growth. A little economic austerity is not going to hurt anyone. We need to learn how to be frugal and not live beyond what is reasonable. Let us all deflate our grandeur expectations and come down to reality!
As far as American political situation with the rest of the world goes, it will take time to resolve and stabilize relationships. It is not as simple as let’s bring American troops home and disengage from the Middle East. America has been in the Middle East for around 60 years now, and will still be there for a long time to come. While many people mistakenly think it is about Israel, it is not! It is about Oil and America’s stable supply of it. America serves as a protector and a conduit to all the parties involved in the Middle East equation.
Barack Obama I hope you can steer the American ship gently through the rough Geopolitical waters. You do not turn around a Great Ship like America 180 degrees and not expect grave ramifications. Do you want Titanic on your hands? So as long as you adhere to the advice of moderate politicians we will recover from these turbulent and complex times. But if you diverge from modernism to radical social liberalism, regulating and constraining American society and economy, you will find a lot of opposition and enemies on your hands.
So please do not rock the boat, and we as the society will get through these difficult times.
Equality under Barack Obama will not be a panacea that you are expecting. In order for equality to be implemented, there must be no bias towards race, gender, religion, or financial status. You will be seen as a carbon copy of your peers. Whatever genetic traits you have will not be consideration for a job or a relationship. Until now if you are Black you can get certain job, like in a music industry because Black people have soul for music. If you are Jewish you can get job with money, etc. All this will stop!
So if you thought you had certain advantages, you might as well forget about. Having certain intellectual skills will also not be consider as a plus when you apply for a job! This is because all people are created equal. There are no people smarter than others. You will be chosen for the job based on your ability to be part of the community - the social machine!
You cannot question or disagree with the agenda and the mentality of the social machine! You must toe the line!!!
So any benefits you had before based on your age, sex, religion, race, and financial status will be nullified! Welcome to Progressive Socialism!
In capitalism the resources are allocated to where they serve best, under progressive socialism resources are not discriminated. Is this capital optimization?
I really think there is a high possibility of America going to war with Iran under Obama administration! The reasons for this are, Israel Right to Exist, the Global Financial Meltdown, Oil, Russia, China, and NWO!
While under McCain the American Iran war would not have happened, because of politic, economical, and military pressures on Iran and Middle East as a whole. But under Obama there will be a lot of pressure for the war to materialize! I hope Obama administration takes a strong and assertive stand when it comes to geopolitics. This is not open to negotiation. If America cannot maintain itself as a Super Power, war with Iran is inevitable!!!
The problem is America is at war now. This war is geopolitical. American detractors are Iran, Venezuela, Russia and China. The thinking proposed by the European Union is to create a NWO where US dollar will be merged with Euro under one currency - Eurodollars. Doing this will prevent America from printing and issuing new money without NWO approval. America will be forced from dominating Middle East and will be at the mercy of the Arabs for oil. NWO will comprise of America, Europe, Arabs like Saudi Arabia!
America is at Catch-22! Go to war with Iran it will be dammed by the rest of the world. Do not go to war with Iran it will be subjugated by Europe NWO!
In my opinion, Barack Obama was elected to be fall guy for America to invade Iran. While under conservatives the war would have been avoided due to political, military and economic pressures, but the illuminaties of NWO want America to have the war with Iran and after that to integrate America into NWO!
Good luck to Mr. Brack Obama in balancing America on the global stage!
Barack Obama says Iran is not dangerous, that it is just a tiny country! Mr. Obama is this your wishful thinking, or are you just being a politician spreading lies and fallacies to get support from your constituents?
With the world economy at the brink of collapse FRB - Greenspan and Company are trying to resuscitate the patient living on life support. The Zombies which are the banks, insurance companies, and brokerage houses are all lined up to receive oxygen - Dollars before they mortally die bring the world economy to a stand still.
Some people say Allen Greenspan is not responsible for this economic collapse, but I vehemently differ. Greenspan has created a real estate bubble by keeping short term interbank rates low all through the Bush administration’s two terms, hence creating an oversupply of liquidity. Too much easy money allowed ignorant borrowers to borrow and buy houses with almost no down payment. The greedy banks more than welcomed to land to these subpar credit borrowers, thinking they discovered the fountain of youth! Money pured out from the facet until housing prices started falling down! Too late the banking system was infected with a perpetual cancer, because falling housing price made the properties worth less than the actual mortgages. Smart consumer realizing this readily defaulted on the loans!
Banks and Brokerage houses holding the Derivative Mortgages and insurance as Credit Default Swaps obligation fell to their knees. Bear Stern collapsed and was picked up by JP Morgan avoiding bankruptcy. Not far latter Lehman Brothers filed for chapter 11 bringing down AIG to its knees. Freddy Mac and Fanny May were nationalized by the USA government. There is more, much more, and the consumers are begining to feel the pain now with layoffs and unemployment. When is this Beast is going to be contained? In Japan the real estate bubble happened 20 years ago, and the economy has not been fixed yet!
This is not the first time Grreenspan screws up. During the IT bubble of the 90’s he waited to long before he raised the short term interest rates causing the Nasdaq to inflate to about 5,000 before it dropped to around 2,000. Retail investors wind up holding the bag and accumulating large loses to their 401 K portfolios.
It is FRB’s job to make sure the economy does not overheat and to help the economy not to fall into the recession by increasing M 1 and M 2 money supply.
Did Allen Greenspan fall asleep at the wheel or did the Bush administration forced him to spur the economy forward to take the attention off the unpopular war in Iraq? If American people are happy economically they do not care much about a War in some faraway place!
To the next President of The United States of America Barack Obama. President Obama my name is Igor Berger and I have some grave news to share with you.
I am an Israeli citizen who use to leave in America, but I left America for Japan to live with my Japanese wife. My mother a USA citizen lived in America alone. I am sorry I am referring to her as lived, because she died a few weeks ago from Alzheimer’s disease. I tried to be with her and applied for a American visa in Osaka, Japan but was denied the visa with the reason for denial that I cannot prove that I will come back to live in Japan and not stay in USA illegally. I have been living in Japan with my wife for the past 18 years, but currently I am unemployed. I do work from time to time when I find work, my wife works, and we live off our savings. I have no intent of staying in America illegally. The USA consultant sad this is not good enough!
My family and I immigrated from communist Russia to America in 1974. We left Russia because of religious prosecution and oppression. We are Jews who came to America to start a new life. My parents became American citizens but I did not, because at the time they were naturalized I was over 18 years old and did not qualify automatically. I applied and went to Japan to work. One day coming back to America at Hawaii I was told because I do not reside in America I must surrender my American green card. I had no choice but to surrender it because my business and my wife were in Japan.
America is a democratic country with freedoms for its citizens, but these freedoms were denied to my mother a United States citizen Ninel Berger. American constitution is set up to protect American citizens but it could not protect my mother. America denied my mother her right to be with her son before she died. All I wanted to do is to see her and hold her hand and say our last goodbyes, but I could not. She died all alone in a nursing home.
I beg of you please help me to come to America and pay my final respects to her at her grave. You say you are a President for change. You say you care about American people. Please help a son to see his mother, even if it is just in spirit!
Thank you,
Igor Berger
I have been trying to get attention to this matter for a long time now, but all in vain. I guess I will try to go to Israel and apply for USA visa there. But unless I have permanent employment I doubt I will get a visa there either.
Iran is a threat to the whole world! Iran has medium and long range missiles that can reach Israel, Turkey, Greece, and other European nations! Iran is working on developing a nuclear weapon!
Is America attacking Iran pragmatic and even feasible? as soon is Iran knowns it is going to be attacked it will start attacking Israel an Europe with its ballistic missiles! Iran will attack the Strait of Hormuz making the channel unnavigable!
America attacking Iran is a disaster waiting to happen! It will force oil to 500 usd a barrel. It will create chaos in global economy with collapse of world’s stock markets!
