Obama’s Inheritance

April 27, 2010

I can’t stand it when Obama mentions his “inheritance” concerning the economy and other things. Did he forget that he was a US Senator prior to his presidential election?

The Economy, Deregulation, and the Blame

October 2, 2008

There is a lot of mud-slinging going on about the recent Wall-Street and Congressional crisis. Now, I am NOT a financial expert nor a political expert. However, facts are facts, and that is what matters. Now, here are the facts. (1) In 1999 the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act was passed my a wide margin in both houses [...]
