I just don't want to hear about this coming "default" and how we're going into financial meltdown and then we get a story like this. I don't need to be a self righteous economics major to know b.s. when I see it.

Believe it or not, I agree with you on this one as well, Richie. And I'm assuming it's me that you've referred to as a "self righteous economics major".

So I guess I should make sure you get the facts right. I hold an engineering degree and an MBA. In that sense, I guess somewhere along the line I learned a little arithmetic. That's all the math one needs to see that the the debt crisis is very real and very imminent.

By the way, it's exactly his lack of leadership on fiscal matters that will cost President Obama my vote in 2012. I'll only condition that statement with the thought that the Republicans come up with someone as a candidate who I think has the intelligence and ability to provide leadership better than Obama has provided. Sadly, so far I don't see one. But I know...you keep telling me, "just wait". OK, I'm waiting.
