CROCODILE TEARS

Truth; if the President tells Americans the undiluted truth, whatever little hope that may exist to salvage this fledgling economy will evaporate instantaneously. The ridiculous attempts by both the Fed and the current administration are nothing short of Band-Aids on a gusher, bleeding us, the greatest economy in the world to death.

The ubiquitous truth is that we are knee deep in a recession and sinking fast. That our fraudulent banks coupled with greedy corporate executives, have crippled our economy. That the subprime scam and outsourcing were the biggest fraud in history is an understatement.

Just like the terrorist used our planes to hit us on 9/11 the Chinese and Arabians are using our economy against us. If the golden rule applies, he who has the gold makes the rules; then foreigners will soon own a substantial chunk of the US. Of course this means war.

These foreigners are pseudo-government conglomerates masquerading as holding companies with the sole purpose of toppling our nation in a hostile takeover of our economy. To postulate that this is idle chatter would require the “Willing Suspension of Disbelief”.

Drastic changes have to be made to subvert this downward slide or the repercussions will not be anything to brag about. Entering the final leg of his Presidency, President Bush is faced by a hostile Congress that is struggling to win back the confidence of the people, hence the name, “do nothing Congress”. So partisan is this Congress that the President has had to order new ink cartridges for his gold pen, having wielded it with authority to veto impossible bills, laden with partisan politics.

In a time of war and economic disparity, we need to unite behind our leaders to forge a way forward out of this daunting predicament. In what is viewed as a lame duck session, many analysts believe nothing will change in the way of vertical progress as more legislators will seek to disassociate themselves with the President in their perpetual selfish ambitions to prolong their political careers at the expense of those they swore to represent.

Having set the backdrop of the potential climate that the next administration will inherit, it’s time to focus on the current field of candidates. In nominating Obama and Huckabee, the Iowans unequivocally proclaimed that a change in direction was the way they wanted to go. As expected, all the other candidates who had run on the experience platform immediately adjusted their rhetoric to incorporate change. Some mistakenly took Americans for fools and are justly receiving their punishment as the polls so clearly indicate.

Americans are stupid, retarded imbeciles who can not discern fact from fiction; at least this is the logical conclusion one should decipher from Hillary’s rhetoric in describing her 35 years of failure as 35 years of change. One can not have experience and change at the same time!! The changes Huckabee, Obama and Edwards are advocating are moving in a different direction from the status quo, away from Hillary’s antics.

Not to be outdone or to appear out of character, The Amoeba jumped on the change bandwagon, dancing to the tune of Obama’s drumbeat while distancing himself from his immediate nemesis of change, Mike Huckabee. The Amoeba, Romney, has flipped his positions so many times in the past, (abortion, gay marriage, gun control, etc) that this new flop, strange as it might be, supporting a member of the opposition party at the expense of the sitting President from his Republican party is not even national news.

Reaching out to Granite State residents who are still undecided one day before the primary was important to the candidates; however they need to start addressing the bigger issues that face the nation. Ultimately as Americans, the fate of our nation lies in our hands. Perhaps it’s the pressure or just some choreographed frolics, nevertheless, whatever the reasons are some contestants are breaking down in sobs, at the rejection of their idiocy, a clear indication that they are definitely not worth what they are vying for.



The candidates all have an economic stimulus plan, but none has actually addressed the fraud that occurred in the last 5 years, where banks unchecked, robbed the Americans off their dreams and investments. The subprime scam was so rampant that all one needed was a name and a social security number to get a ½ million dollar house without the prospect of paying for it. The idea seemed alright at first with all the speculators rushing to invest in homes, driving up the prices and making instant millionaires of the lucky few who cashed out immediately. Many folks who had paid off their homes woke up to the realization that they were sitting on gold and were lured into refinancing their homes too. With the massive layoffs resulting from the ridiculous outsourcing, a direct result of corporate greed, families are now facing the possibility of loosing their homes to foreclosures. This housing mess has trickled into the broader economy domestically and on the global stage.

America is limping and like predators, our enemies are confluencing on our jugular. The Chinese and the Arabians are now investing heavily in our fledgling economy in what can only be interpreted as an attempt to topple our nation economically. Just like the terrorists used our planes on 9/11, these masked adversaries are using our economy to attack us. Pseudo-government conglomerates masquerading as holding companies are gobbling chunks of our financial institutions, the same institutions that are foreclosing on hardworking Americans. By owning these institutions, these governments in effect, will own America; this is the back-door assault that they have devised and we need our leaders to see it and react appropriately. Some of the contenders have received sizable donations from questionable characters representing these invading nations, while others have set up consulting firms to facilitate this hostile takeover.

If we are going to talk about change, we need to address our perception of these phony investors, effectively defeating their systematic acquisition of our nation. We need to overhaul our banking practices, investigating and punishing those who willing and knowingly engaged in fraudulent or predatory lending. We need to subsidize domestic manufacturing so as to level the playing field and discourage outsourcing.

If there is a leader who addresses all these concerns, then by all means let’s vote for them. If there is none, then let’s find one who does not deviate too far from these principles. Let’s get a leader of high morals standards; one that values the family and above all, a leader that understands and cherishes the power of God.

Whether the Americans from the granite state emulate the Iowans will be determined tomorrow, nevertheless, the unmitigated disaster threatening our nation accentuates the serious urgency of now.
