John Galt Is On Strike
Industrial production in the United States declined by 1% during 2009. This was the largest decline since the government started tracking this data in 1967.
This statistic proves that businesses and investors are reluctant to build plant and equipment, invest in general, and will continue to reduce hiring. Businesses and investors are reacting to the US government's plans to increase taxes, accumulate untenable deficits, spend borrowed and printed money, and restructure the US economy, including the one-sixth that is the health care sector.
This reluctance is nothing less than business and investment people going on strike.
Take that you union bosses, you government administrators, and you socialists in the Obama administration!
Context
The answer is in. After centuries of theoretical discussion, debate, writing, and analysis. The answer has been demonstrated through live tests on living humans in nations around the world. The answer has been repeated in complexity and simplicity. The correct answer is clear.
Make no mistaken interpretation of Obama. So... change?
Understanding
Quicksand is everywhere.
The young Pathetic Barry perceived that he had been deserted by his father. He inquired to himself why his father might leave him so early in his existence? Had he offended, repulsed, or disgusted his father? Young Pathetic Barry lacked the intellect to comprehend and understand.
Worst Of The Worst
Why is America filled with so many psychologically warped, crooked, and philosophically inept politicians?
Because America is the Land Of Opportunity. Anyone who has any real skill chooses to be earn success through honest, productive work and has confidence in his abilities. He gets a real job.
Irony
BO has allowed only 6% of his several-hundred-billion dollar, so-called stimulus package to be spent. That has gone primarily toward Medicaid payments at the state level..
Obviously BO believes capitalism -- that is, US capitalists' hard work -- will be the force that pulls the economy from its near-depression depth.
So what will BO order the remaining hundreds-of-billions of dollars be spent on? The answer is that he will apply it to the building of his domestic militia force. That is the force he alluded to during his campaign stating it should be as strong as the US military, but handle domestic affairs.
At some point during 2010 -- following several more months of non-recovery, he will order the establishment of his internal federal police force. It will hire his still-unemployed, young followers giving many their best-ever paying jobs. They will be clothed in BO sunrise logo uniforms and handed equipment to maintain order. Billy club anyone?
All Americans Are Warren Buffets
...But most are too stupid to realize it.
Americans are born owning 100% of all the stock in themselves. It is free. We pay nothing for it. It is guaranteed by the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And we are free to accomplish all that we can and we are free to fail.
BO In The White House
He doesn't know what his job is so he will do a staffer's job instead.
Having BO in the White House is like the weather.
Return To Primitivization
From BO -- the effeminate version of a male -- to MO -- the bared & buff-armed, masculinized version of a female -- the entire Obama phenomenon has been, remains, and will eventually be perceived as the culmination of the lost gender identify equalization and transposition.
All the while civilized individuals continued working to make progress by creating, inventing, and discovering. Civilization turned its back and thereby allowed itself to be mugged by the primitive.
And now primitives rule the civilized.
Beyond Infinite Arrogance
Ford Motor paid off $9.9 billion of its debt using creative thinking. Ford management realized that its debt would destroy the company.
GM (led by a Rick Wagoner) could have accomplished this also. But no. He (GM under failed leadership) chose to take free money from Satan. Now Satan owns GM.
People will never learn that there is no such entity possible as "free money". Axiomatically, free money cannot exist.
It is not a potential construct within reality. It may be contrived only in the human mind. But to gain life the mind that conceives it must stop considering it.
Where Have The Men Gone?
Many businessmen have experienced cash shortfalls and operating difficulties. Those men worthy of managing businesses find creative ways to maneuver their company out of financial and operating difficulties. Even owners of service businesses can successfully maneuver, avoid bankruptcy, and grow their company into prosperity.
General Motors celebrated its 100th anniversary in September, 2008.
Men starting with William C. Durant, GM's founder, overcame bigger problems than those facing GM today.
The US Constitution Is Going To War
The Founding Fathers knew tyranny from history and from living under it. They devised the US Constitution to ensure that as long as Americans stand up to defend their rights and use the US Constitution to aggressively defend themselves, they will be assured of their liberty and rights.
Americans inherited a defense mechanism: The US Constitution.
The time has come to stand up & defend our rights and liberty.
Are you capable of understanding why your income will eventually decrease just as those for Wall Street employees you despise?
Because you don't deserve so much money either.
Driving
Many Americans have now been trained to run lights & stop signs and tailgate. The nastiest, more juvenile, and envious aggressively work to goad a street confrontation.
Excerpted from a 1777 ship-board letter of the 20-year-old Lafayette to his wife while en route to America to join the rebel cause.
"The welfare of America is intimately bound up with the happiness of humanity. She is going to become a cherished and safe refuge of virtue, of good character, of tolerance, of equality and a peaceful liberty."
Not An American
BO is unquestionably a very keen observer of his environment. He observes, evaluates potential problems, and devises solutions.
BO is an actor, a chameleon, a charlatan. His skills in these roles are superb.
No, really Warren?
Berkshire Hathaway's Chairman Warren Buffett announced that the company experienced its worst year ever in 2008. Its per-share book value declined 9.6%.
So... let's see. It's hard to make money in a down market? Yes. Now people may learn that it's easier to profit in an up market such as America's capitalistic boom following WWII, especially when it was given a massive boost by President Ronald Reagan's policies which caused the 25-year-long Reagan bull market of 1982-2007.
Perhaps even Warren Buffett will be less god-like during the coming depression.
Cowards Speak
Eric Holder, the black man appointed US Attorney General by the black President BO, announced that America is a "nation of cowards". He stated that we must each and all talk about race.
Impossible
The Constitution of the United States guarantees each individual's right to a free life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness by any means he may choose that does not interfere or detract from the same rights of all other citizens. It is not conceptually, legally, morally, or ethically possible....
BO Is Not Wise Nor Smart
BO fooled enough of his people using vagaries, appealing to squishy feelings, petty emotions, & class envy.
He will slay himself out of ignorance, arrogance, and intractable stubbornness.
Mind Strike. Finally.
Going out on strike is antithetical to people who have and use minds. Enough is enough... sometimes. Today's global financial stoppage is a strike of the minds.
Broken, Over, Done, Finished, Complete
Those who are under 50 years of age must read the history of markets to learn about the days when markets fluctuated based upon fundamentals and technicals.
In October, 2007, we experienced the final, last, and harshest death scream of the Reagan bull market. Now we know exactly when it was born and how long that bull lived: Born: August, 1982 -- Died: October, 2007.
Thank You, USA
On January 31, 2009, the Iraqi people voted in their second free election since the USA-led liberation of all 26 million Iraqi people freed them from the sadistic, deadly, dictatorial Saddam Hussein regime.
Surely millions of Iraqi people want to say, "Thank you, USA, for sacrificing your finest military men and women and allowing the division of your people into the wise and the unwise".
Not A Leader
Obama is not capable of being a leader. He is a standard, run-of-the-mill, ordinary and simple, demanding demagogue.
Even from the most potent position in history, he is capable of only instinctively demanding.
Open Display
During his inauguration celebration which was in actuality celebration of the United States' inauguration of its 44th president, Obama failed to appear at the Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball. Obama is the first president to skip the ball since its inception in 1953.
Method 1959
"We can't expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism."

Why It Matters To You
This is the stuff of confidence-destruction. It will lead to the financial markets' continuing decline. Investors only invest when they trust the systems that they are investing in.

How & Why The World Went Bust
This Ponzi scheme impacts everyone. It started failing in 2006. It stopped working & the derivative flow slowed and began its downward cascade in 2007. The downward cascade accelerated in 2008, when housing valuations declined, there were few takers remaining for cheap housing money, and those who had taken the cheap housing money began defaulting in large numbers.
The Answer

Question:  Why are there so many nasty, raunchy, messy, sloppy, poorly groomed and dressed people everywhere?
Juvenile
Obama is fighting  with the US government (Really?) insisting that he be allowed to continue using his Blackberry. The Blackberry is a product of capitalistic ventures. It is not a product of socialistic ventures or of places such as Russia or Kenya.
Why We Are Doomed
BO is not an analytical thinker. He guarantees America economic failure & military weakening.
Hurry Up Mess Up
Many of today's insecure, inexperienced, pathetic, meek weaklings hurry, hurry, never pause, never contemplate alternatives, just keep moving, often missing opportunities & efficiencies.  BO is in a hurry.

Destruction
Damage to the financial system is quantifiable. Damage to the workplace is identifiable. Damage to the female psyche, self-confidence, self-image is difficult to quantify. It is seen driving, walking, shopping, in restaurants, and as the female population attempts to raise their children,
interact with their spouses, and just try to exist while effectively multitasking & oscillating into oblivion.   Read about the victims.
Yes, we did produce a near-perfect republic. But will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of freedom? Material abundance without character is the path of destruction.

Concepts Are Tough For Morons
Morons stand around, oil oozes up between their toes, and Western technology pumps it into tankers to fuel development elsewhere.
Morons will never comprehend that they contributed very little to global development. They may now be seen to be what they are. BO's imminent arrival, Israeli self-defense, Russia's threatening Eastern Europe & around Cuba, terrorist outbursts, Venezuelan unrest, & more, yet oil continues its downward trend.
The concept of unintended consequences is lost on each and every moron who gets the notion that he can rule the world.

Illinois's BO Wins
The Bush administration handed Illinois' BO five year's worth of progress toward the nationalization -- socialization, that is -- of the US economy.
Illinois' BO, your pres-elect 44, could not have accomplished in his first term all that has been done for him by the Bush administration and the socialism-promoting US Congress.
Correction:  The US Congress is not socialist, per se. It does not have the intellect to think in ideological terms. Today's US Congress is composed of ill-educated, unthinking, confused, petty lawyers who have been overly empowered by the illiterate electorates they represent.
Each American, natural-born and immigrant alike, should comprehend and acknowledge that all that he and she is, all that they possess, all that they ever hope to achieve, has been and will be made possible by all that is provided at little cost to each by the free, democratic, and capitalistic system of the United States of America.
American style liberty and capitalism provide prosperity for all who work. The American Dream must be preserved and cherished.
Wise Americans who understand this refuse to be confused or dissuaded by falsifiers of the American Dream. Wise Americans will not abdicate control of America to an un-American, socialist regime of desperation and failure.

Their Over-reach Will Save Us
In 1977, there was the Community Reinvestment Act. Then came FNM, FRE, GNM, ACORN, Dodd, Frank, Pelosi, Reid. Now Obama, a far-reaching community organizer.
They caused the global financial meltdown.
Several other nations are on the rise supported by more workers working for lower wages. And each of these nations uses the same technologies as the US.
The US is slowly recovering using those same technologies.
However, the US will not recover as well as several other nations, including China, India, & ...
Other nations whose populations are more disciplined, more accepting of less comfort, more willing to work hard for less remuneration, will rise further and farther along the new road of progress than today's US is capable of traveling.
Americans are too self-involved, arrogant, narcissistic, complacent, and now they wait for government to lift them out of this economic downturn. We are all victims and -- of course -- we feel very, very good about that. So we simply sit down, whine, and wait to be saved by our government. Our government is planning to use socialism to save us. Socialism has never saved anyone but the top dog socialists who keep themselves in power through the force of evil.

In the final tally, the Madoff loss will be larger than the original estimate of $50 billion.

What Is A Win In Afghanistan?
Has anyone -- politicians, generals, pundits -- paused to define what it actually means to "Win In Afghanistan"?
Has anyone put together a brief business-plan approach that identifies "Win" before attempting to make strategic and tactical decisions regarding Afghanistan?
The only way to win is to first define win, devise a plan to reasonably assure our win, and correctly implement that plan to win.
Letter To Americans
Barry's Excellent Takeover
Just months into his first term, Barry has divided Americans and taken over a massive portion of America.
Barry will continue to enjoy his $100 per pound Kobe beef while dictating commands to his czars as the socialist New America fails.
Barry's Excellent Takeover is all about control.
White Men's Last Stand
Saving Western Civilization is a big job. Someone really should do it. It would be such a noble thing to have accomplished.
The New York Times, under the byline of Maureen Dowd, liberated white men from their self-imposed dungeons of timidity. Dowd's Op-Ed, entitled "White Men's Last Stand", elevated this nearly extinct species onto the stage previously reserved for women and minorities.
Serfdom
For several decades American labor unions and independent workers have complained that their jobs were being exported to nations whose labor forces worked for lower wages.
American labor now rejoices because auto companies and other manufacturing will remain at least temporarily -- and some may return -- to US soil. American workers will have their jobs on the assembly lines and in light and heavy industries.
American labor fails to recognize that many workers are now employed by either foreign-owned companies or the US government. Corporate profits will be exported to foreign owned corporations or appropriated by the US Treasury. Profits will no longer be re-invested directly into the US economy.
American labor also fails to recognize that it continues to compete with foreign labor for wages and jobs. When American labor's foreign owner-employers decide to export these jobs, they are not likely to return.
Paraphrasing Hayek, there is a road to serfdom and American labor has earned its role as serf.
Sharing
For a society's standard of living to increase, invention and discovery must be ongoing. There must be a continuous stream of new inventors and discoverers to enhance and build upon the inventions and discoveries of their predecessors.
How much denigration over how many decades should the most-capable accept?
As GM Goes, So Goes America
Today the axiom must be restated for accuracy. It now accurately is, "What harms GM, harms America".

Unprecedented interference and manipulation of the US financial system, General Motors, and Chrysler demonstrates that BO is not wasting time with socialism or Communism. BO is moving directly to fascism.
Obama's Connection To Chavez
It flows directly through Chicago.
Lost Forever?
Have Americans permanently lost their appreciation for cool cars? No, not trucks, SUVs, or econoboxes.
Have Americans permanently lost their appreciation for women who are feminine? No, not buffed-up, hard-edged, females who speak with little girl nasalized voices.
Have Americans permanently lost their appreciation for men who are mature males. No, not skinny, weenie-voiced boys who are over twenty-years old, but act like they are 12.
If the answer to any one of these questions is yes, America is lost never to be found. And each and every American of both genders is out of luck. Americans will never know what they have lost and are missing.
Why Is He Bowing?
American military personnel will die to keep our flag from touching the ground.

A Control Freak Is In Charge
You have never worked for a boss, been married to a spouse, or been subjected to anyone who had more power over you than does Obama.

The Cure Has Been Discovered

Sunrise Sunset
Welcome to another bright sunny day. Oh yah.... Another of those boring, repetitive days of waking to peacefulness, comfortable home life, and a secure freedom to do as you like.

Don't be concerned. Those boring, repetitive days are coming to an end.
Capital Markets Understand
Why would capital markets participate in a radical restructuring of the society that afforded them the chance to prosper? Why would they be accessories to free-market homicide?
America's Test
The US has reached a tipping point. US industry cannot be forced by unions, by Congress, by cultural do-gooders to hire under-qualified workers for irrelevant reasons.
Only the most qualified workers should be hired.
Only the company-determined number of workers should be hired.
When the workload decreases, workers must be laid off and their pay should go to zero.
America is a failing nation.

It is difficult to believe, but there actually are some genuinely fine men of the highest character from the State of Illinois. They are genuine Americans. Not creatures of the world.
Searching For The Bottom
The only way to play today's abnormal markets is to accept them as the current normal, play them accordingly, and wait to lose. Each buy was a reasonable bottom-fishing response. Each resulted in losses, or at best, minimal short-term trading profits. This exercise demonstrates that the quest for a bottom is a dangerous and unnecessary unknown. It is always unknowable. Deadly consequences are wrought upon those who know they know.
Is This The Bottom?
Following 1929's stock market collapse, RCA stock declined from over 500 to under 5 within a few years. It did not return to 500 -- ever.
A Wrong Corrected After Two-hundred-thirty Years
Patrick Henry announced, "Give me liberty or give me death".

Trust Precedes Confidence
A person who contracts with a lender to borrow money to purchase a home is a debtor. Wanna do a deal?
Restructuring Boomers
Boomers are the most entitlement-based generation ever and just don't stay spooked very long. This could be the beginnings of a permanent decline. America may have already had its day in the sun.
It matters less whether a man is born smart or dumb. What matters more is that he acquires the ability to act wisely.
5th Amendment
There is no need for the 5th amendment these days. No one uses -- or needs it.
All the liars, cheats, & thieves simply get sworn in & proceed to lie. Why not? God? Personal integrity? Quest for the truth? Self respect?
Dumb. Simply Dumb.
Imagine that you were entrusted to run history's most successful experiment in liberty and opportunity. What would you do? You would promote all that has made that nation successful.
Obama is using his privileged position to dismantle capitalism, disrupt opportunity, and destroy the inventiveness and security of the American people.
It is no wonder BO would not release his college and law school transcripts. He is displaying how dumb he really is.
Self Defeat
In an ongoing, repetitious, unending stream, nearly all major economic indicators point to a continuing decline in available jobs, manufacturing activity, the housing market, investment and asset valuations. Prices for cars and homes are declining, but there is little credit available, so purchases are difficult and less likely than is required for economic growth.
Until investors believe they may invest with a reasonable opportunity to make a profit, they will not invest. Until confidence returns to markets, credit will remain in tight supply.
Playwright Edward Albee said, "You gotta have swine to show you where the truffles are".
Who.
It is often said that the voters get the leaders and government they deserve. Have we become so childish, so selfish and self-absorbed as a people, that we will haplessly -- no, make that joyfully -- embrace politicians who are equally as selfish and self-absorbed? Are we as a people so morally bankrupt that we casually accept the Machiavellian dictum that to be a leader "you must be a great liar and a hypocrite"?  --  Janice Crouse
The Pentagon said on Tuesday that 61 former detainees from its military prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, appear to have returned to terrorism since their release from custody.
January, 2009, marks the start of the third down-leg of the Obama bear market. It will be years long.
Now, more than in 1968, the whole world is watching because it is financially involved.
Sunshine
Once Congressional Democrats see President Bush leave, they have little need for BO. They will more readily support "President Pelosi". They will accomplish little. They will fight amongst themselves. Conscious Americans will begin to realize that BO is effeminate, weak, and has accomplished little beyond fooling a majority of them.
The Answer
Why are there so many nasty people around today?
They All Lost

Did you serve in the US military? Did you serve in peacetime or go to war to preserve liberty in the US or another nation?
Did your father, grandfather, uncle, cousins go to war to preserve liberty in the US or another nation?
Did they believe they won? Did they believe they had helped stave off communism or some other form of tyranny or demagogue?
If so, the ascension of Obama to the presidency negates their sacrifice. As of January 20, 2009, the US has lost the Cold War and every other war it waged to defend liberty, personal rights, and capitalism.
Was anyone attending the BO inauguration celebrating America's accomplishment, opportunity, liberty, history, security, Constitution & Bill of Rights?
Too many Americans fail to understand that without the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and legal system, few Americans could prosper, live in safety, and expect to be better off tomorrow for having worked earnestly today.
Ours is a time when a man's concern for principles displays his character.
Do you remember the stock market of 1974?
Day after day the market persisted.
Alarm!
On January 6, 2009, Obama made an announcement. He was not simply trying to warn, be prescient, or demonstrate his intellect -- nor that of his sycophant advisors.  Read why BO is simply carrying out his instructions.

We live in dangerous times wherein he will proceed with arrogant impunity. He will make serious mistakes, deny responsibility, and attempt distractive cover-up.
He will be brought up on impeachment charges for violating his oath to defend and protect the US Constitution and American people.

Beyond
Beyond Constitutionalism:  When the Constitution is interpreted, twisted, and changed in ways that deprive individuals of God-given rights and liberty, there can be only one action due.
Beyond Patriotism:  When patriotism represents only a lingering memory, when there is no present spirit of decency and pride, when the people no longer strive for unification, when there is perversion of the legal system that had protected the people's rights, liberty, morals, ethics, and economic philosophy, there can be only one action due.
Beyond Leadership:  When the esteemed leadership does not embody the imperfect attempt at perfection with moral, ethical, religious, and economic philosophy building for productive ends, there can be only one action due.
Beyond:  When God-fearing, law-abiding, ethical, moral, freedom-loving, capitalists must subvert their methods, supplicate, and resist just to hold even, there can be only one action due.
Resist or sink in quicksand.

Deep, Dirty Sea
Consider where the nation has devolved to over the last 40 years and the inept, unqualified leadership that infests the US Congress' House and Senate chambers, the executive branch, and much of the judicial branch where the Supreme Court holds onto Constitutional ideals by a one or two vote margin.
The USA will either pull itself out of this nadir or sink to new depths over the next years.
It is disgusting to observe. It is frustrating to witness our once-great nation decay further. However, it is now so very, very, very malevolent and corrupted with filth and incompetence that it can only improve or it will pass into irrelevance.
Why Buy?

Fire Sales
The fire sales are starting. AIG is attempting to sell its boiler maintenance and insurance division to a Belgium company for something more than $700 million. It purchased this division in 2000 for $1.2 billion. But today AIG needs money desperately.
Companies needing capital will be selling operating divisions. The sales will be at bargain prices. The buyers will be any company willing to buy... just as in Palm Beach, Florida's pawn shops. Sellers will include many US companies, as well as companies in other nations that are bust because they bought into the unrealistic interest game known as CDOs, etc. Potential sellers reside in nations in nations in Europe, Asia, and parts of the Middle East.
Ownership of industrial, real estate, and financial assets will shift across all borders... from once-wealthy hands to newly-wealthy hands. Over the coming years, major pieces of AIG and many other companies will be dispersed around the world.

Letter To Americans
 
OpportunityLand
America is such a Fantastic Grand Land Of Opportunity that she makes becoming successful appear easy -- almost an entitlement.
Many Americans today blame anything other than themselves for preventing their success.
Someday these dunces may realize that even under BO's Communism, fascism, and massive redistribution plan, it continues to be their own shortcomings that keep them unsuccessful and average at best.
But no. Most people will continue to blame anything other than themselves for their lack of success and ease of failure.
More American Failure
Microsoft is another GM.
Microsoft manifests the same arrogance and complacency, and produces poor quality products.
GM became infamous for re-labeling its cheap, poorly-built cars under its premier brand names. For example, GM re-labeled its Chevrolet Vega calling it a Cadillac Cimarron. Both cars were junk and failed in the consumer market place. The Cadillac name was corrupted.
Microsoft will soon re-label its failed Vista operating system under the name Windows 7.

Americans no longer need to see Obama's college grades in order to judge his worthiness. We now have living proof.

You would strive to ensure that its foundation, basic principles, and fundamental values were maintained and strengthened.
Obama has announced that he will change America. How stupid is that?

The New York Times reports a frequent opinion of Judge Sotomayor. When speaking at the annual Judge Mario G.

1974
Sears Tower was opened for business in 1974. It was planned to be the international corporate headquarters for Sears, the world's largest retailer.
In 1974 Sears Tower was the world's tallest building.
Sears is a metaphor for the United States of America. The relatively small Sears collapsed quicker than the massive USA. This story provides the parallels to allow the reader to chart the US' inevitable path over the next several years.
The fate of the United States of America is traveling along a similar trajectory of failure.
BO Can Not Learn His Lines
On March 3, 2009, amidst stock markets that have declined roughly 50% over the last 1-1/3 year, meaning stock investors have lost over $2 trillion, BO alluded to the "profit and earnings ratio". Then BO had the gall to tell people now is the time to buy stocks.
BO is so uninformed & uneducated about capitalism & markets that he fails to understand a key relationship. Investors know about P/E, the price-earnings ratio. BO is so arrogantly unconcerned and stupid that he cannot retain information from his handlers' briefings.
BO is operating just as Mrs. Bill Ayers, the 1960s' leader of the terrorist Weather Underground Bernardine Dohrn, identified in 2007 as their plan: "We want to dismantle capitalism. That evil thing."

The NYSE asked regulators for permission to suspend its $1 rule. No longer will companies be de-listed if their stock falls below $1. The limit was $5 in the before-time.
And you will sign a contract with whom?
Impotent
While speaking of limits he demands be imposed on executive pay in the private sector, Obama defined his notion of what a high salary might be. He then stated about high salaries: "...and that is something I will not tolerate as president".
BO may never learn that the Alinsky method's constant and frequent negative messaging will not be tolerated by the majority of Americans.
Sterilization
The plan is to remove the confidence and optimism that has always provided Americans' intrinsic motivation to struggle, work, and succeed.
That is why Obama repeats daily that all things are bad and it will take years to recover. Obama wants America's economy to fail. He wants Americans to surrender.
BO -- managed by William Ayers & Alinsky -- believes that eventually Americans will surrender all power and rights, succumbing to socialism with them in charge.
Glory In 2009 America Redefined
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore."
There is a revised promise in 2009's America for the New Americans of 2009.
Grace Not
Obama should not abuse his implicit prestige nor diminish his potential stature by continuing in juvenile insecurity.
Graciousness is meaningful in life -- and in politics. BO is validating that there is a caliber hierarchy in America. And he is demonstrating from where he comes.
Nuclear Weaponry News
The prestigious International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) predicts that Iran will have enough enriched uranium to make a single nuclear weapon later in 2009.
Pied Piper Econ 101
On January 20, 2009, several bank stocks declined over 20%. The following day it was reported that CEOs of some of those institutions had bought stock in their own institutions.
Listen to the sweet investment flutes being played just for you.
Confidence
As of January, 2009, US bank assets are approximately $12.2 trillion. That is about $1.1 trillion more than in August, 2008.
Who says the liquidity lock is just a matter of liquidity? It is a matter of confidence.
Confidence will never be engendered in a faltering economy being threatened with socialism as the cure.
Rebukes are easy from our betters,
From men of quality and letters;
But when low dunces will affront,
What man alive can stand the brunt?

How long before BO forces Ben Bernanke out of his Federal Reserve position?
Regarding BO's presidency:  After a person attains something illegitimately, he may only use it from within illegitimacy.
FDR, LBJ, BO
Not one of these self-styled saviors was able or will be able to use socialism to any good ends.

Update

The old saw, "Beggars can't be choosers", needs updating.
The 2009 updated version sings forth, "Beggars are entitled to their entitlements".
And if the beggars are not satisfied with the handouts they receive, they should moan and whine louder to their elected care-takers who will then tax the builders and producers & further deprive everyone of his rights under the guise of entitlements for the unworthy."
Purpose Anyone?
Most people have no purpose of consequence. They never have and never will.
Do most people ever consider how utterly useless they are?
Most people simply use products & services.
Remember
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.

Pathetic
Many people fail to perceive that to work & earn & satisfying their obligations feels better than deceiving, taking handouts, and ignoring obligations.
In fact, it often feels more rewarding to meet an obligation than to play your favorite stupid, trivial, inane, time-wasting computer game. Really!
BO's over-reach proves that he has failed to learn the ramifications of the Peter Principle.
Rebukes are easy from our betters,
From men of quality and letters;

Madame Chiang Kai-Shek said:
"Every clique is a refuge for incompetence. It fosters corruption and disloyalty, it begets cowardice, and consequently is a burden upon and a drawback to the progress of the country. Its instincts and actions are those of the pack."
Why
The primary reason why the global financial meltdown is not near approaching its recovery phase, nor reaching its bottom, is that excessive risk is being assumed by institutions such as BAC, JPM, & WFC.
These institutions are racing with impunity to each become "too big to fail", thereby guaranteeing additional bailout by the Federal Reserve Bank.
And the US Federal Reserve Bank's risky weakening is denoted by its balance sheet, portions of which it will not disclose publicly.
...About that additional $2 trillion?
It's The Unemployment, Stupid
What statistic, guideline, benchmark, tally, concept remains to be breached before the silly little girlie headline-writers start calling our time the "Second Great Depression"?
How high will unemployment go?
Hey, um, you know, whatever they like want to, you know, um, say.
On January 1, 2009, Slovakia became the 16th country to adopt the euro.
Integration across economies, discard of the old, hegemony of the new, psychological comfort & safety continue to spread & evolve in the midst of the global financial crisis that originated in, and was caused by the US within the dollar regime.
How long until...?
Justice For One
Placing JFK
Ours Is An Age Of Cruelty
It is everywhere. It has infiltrated into the workplace, familial relationships, business, and politics. Actually politics is everywhere and that is the cruelty that is everywhere.
Many people invest much effort conniving over methods to inflict pain upon others.
And that is a key ingredient in today's financial breakdown. Everyone is untrusting of everyone.
From the petty bullies to the new not-petty bully, the pres-elect 44.
We are nearing the point where everyone will inflict pain upon others with flailing, uncaring audacity until a numb chaos is welcomed.
Apparent For Over Thirty Years
"There will come a day when even the United States of America has no more to give.
Or, identified more correctly, the day will arrive when the United States of America has no more that even those vastly overly-empowered unworthy, those self-entitled takers can take no more.
There will come a time when there is no more remaining to take, steal, or demand."
Now we know the exact date.
You may denounce, shout, and wave your arms in frenzied disdain at dead white European males, but who designed, built, and continually improved Western Civilization?
And when others demanded and were ceded control, what happened?
Enjoy your effeminate, nihilistic, weak America, dear sweeties.
The Relativistic Global Economy
The weaker the US economy becomes, the more diminished will be its government's ability to tax its successful working people.
Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?
