It already has! You have made trillions of Zimbabwe dollars on that album.

With the way the US dollar is heading, I might be moving there.
Jambo!
Oh wait...the official language of Zimbabwe is English...

not exactly the best way to select a President is it?
whether Obama succeeds or fails..at least we have someone in charge who is 'thinking' of solutions.. not half-assing it and going by what his god.. or his gut tells him is the right course of action.
bah....

Geez, Obama works for the same Anglo American bankers that the other puppet was working for. He is nothing more than a Kissinger prodegy who is doing exactly what he is told. A different kind of actor, that's all. It should be getting pretty obvious by now. He can read a dummy board and that's about it. I think the cat is out of the bag now.

the cynicism on this forum never fails to amaze me... sorry... after two months ... in the midst of the worse finanical crisis in years... maybe I'm naive... but I don't judge a man on two months work on disaster years in the making.... I'll judge him if he fixes the problems. That is going to take years...

I see. Judging Bush 2 minutes into office was fair though (granted I find him to be..............short of a few nuts, but still...)  If Obama had done absolutely nothing so far, then I'd understand not judging him. But overall you have to admit he's gotten a free pass from most of us.

hahah... stealing an election at worst... and ignoring democracy (making sure accurate recounts in Florida were taken) at best was not the best way for a new President to come into office now was it. He reaped whatever discord he sowed in that highly political and partisan 'election'. To compare Bush and Obama in that way is simpley silly.. and that is being polite.
Personally I gave the guy a chance.. even gave him his due as being a 'leader' when this country needed it. My personal problems with him... and many Americans came after years of failed policies... inability to adjust.. and blatent political governing. Could you honestly see one of Obama's henchmen trying to force a government official to sign an article restricting personal liberties while on his death bed. No.. neither could I.
A free pass.. yeah... a free pass given so the man can have the time to work out serious solutions to very serious problems that don't have easy 'soundbyte' answers. Will he fix it? God knows.. but as I posted.. I believe the man is trying... and not just trying to win a future election or just score political points.

I agree with what you say , but let me give you an example: In 2003 after suffering the worst crisis in our country. Nestor Kirchner was elected President , since we were right at the bottom financially , the few economical measures he took helped raising our GDP up and helped loads of people from total poverty. The guy was no genius , this was all due to the natural behaviour of the economic cycles. People started to have trust in his administration and he grasped all power in Congress. After a few years we all started to realize all the flaws within government and now that his wife was elected up to 2011 we are regretting our decision.
Sorry for the little lesson in Argentinian history , but the same can be taken to the US case. You will recover , but it will happen naturally. Not because Obama is the second coming , and in a couple of years you will be able to judge him more objetively.

Agreed about the way things have a tendency to heal them selves. Truth is that while Bush was uniquely interested in POWER, Obama has no choice but to focus on results. He hasn't got a mandate to rule but rather a clear unalterable mandate to REPAIR. Perhaps, the Pearl Harbor Syndrome (America becomes strong very fast when kicked in the nuts) will bring about the vast and needed revamping of the world economy. Shows you why America' greatest weakness is the constant swaying between 2 options as if the universe only had a deuce to deal with. Blame big governement, blame private enterprise (the current crisis was 100% private sector, by financial geniuses who managed to screw everyone -Cheney, Tyco, Enron etc...-and Madoff proceeded to screw them all real good). Geniuses, pfffffff! A world with no rules, where anything goes, is that free enterprise? Is that genius or even leadership? No its called uncontrolled rampant , primitive GREED! I am not surprised one bit by the bi-polar idiocy. Read history, just a merry-go-round, same old yawning story. Babylon, Imperial Rome, Napoleon , Adolf , Wall Street. IDIOTS !!!! Anyway, as JJ Rousseau so eloquently stated: "The more I analyze the human race the more I love my dog" WOOF, WOOF! . Don't ever be surprised about anything except PROG!

Now the little sheep herder Obaaaaaaama is getting his orders from an inbred German who just happens to be the Queen of the British Empire and people still think she or whatever it is is just a figure head, ha ha ha.
The USA fought long and hard to get away from those inbred morons and form a republic and with the help of one of your presidents, Wilson, who sold out to the international bankers most of which work out of London now have control over the USA.
This is something most Americans should be learning about and finding out about. They will discover that the Federal Reserve is a private runned company owned by the international bankers and the American tax payer pays directly to this organized crime outfit of which Obama is an employee.
