[Vision2020] A Paradox

[lfalen]

People are right to celebrate the election of Obama as a historic event. It truly is. It has been along hard struggle to archive the equality that is stated in the constitution. A lot of brave men have been involved in the struggle. Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Medger Evers, King and may others. Some have given their lives. This is a bitter sweet victory, but wont be truly won until the color barrier is completely erased. A time when ones color is no more of an issue than being Irish or German and race is not even mentioned. The tragedy is that Obama's economic views are so horribly wrong. What he is doing will prolong the recovery. I will be in the poor house before the economy recovers. Already people are saying medical care will have to prioritized. An old codger like me will be considered to have lived long enough. Any ailment will be allowed to run its course. 
Obama blames Bush, talking about the failed polices of the last eight years. Bush certainly bares some of the blame. The main cause however lays with Acorn, Obama himself, Carter, Franks Dodd and Clinton. Franks and Dodd were warned about the problem with Freddie and Fannie and said that everything was fine. Dodd and Obama are the two largest recipients of contributions from Freddie and Fannie. Thes are now the people in charge of fixing the problem. This is like putting the fox in charge of the hen house.
Obama calls for a bipartisan effort to pass his program. If he want bipartisan support he first needs to rain in Rham Emanuel. Emanuel wamts to take the census away from the Commerce Department and put it under his control This is to politicize it. The goal is to ensure democratic control forever. Obama is saying to the republicans in essence "I want to destroy you and I would like this to be a bipartisan effort". The Republicans would have to have a death wish to go along with it. totally aside from the harmful effect to the country.
