AMEN to you Steve !
You know, I am aware that I beat to death one subject, HOWEVER, everytime I look around at this early stage of this presidency I see all the earmarks of Saul Alinsky !
Now you can say...on no there he goes again...but one of the tenets of Alinsky's CHANGE was that “The organizer must rub raw the resentments of the people of the community,” (constant Rich versus Poor scenarios..ACORN trips plus all the other groups) and "there has to be a crisis that we can solve to institute change." (GM and on and on) Why did we not allow them to go bankrupt in the first place as it now appears that is where we are going BUT now the government has their claws on and in them.
It just seems that we are always being emotionally challenged.....check this out...

I honestly hope I am dead wrong but it has become almost a daily thing now...I know there are REAL problems and maybe I am just callous, but all of this was so predictable and those of you who were reading and posting during the campaign (AND the primary) recall me saying the same thing and now it is happening in real life.
Steve is right....this country has survived LARGE bankruptcies before without all the jangled nerves.
