Who can clean up this financial mess?

I don't know, and neither does anyone else, but I have two observations.

1) We should stop being so hard on people who from time to time need help from the government, either because they've lost a job and didn't have savings, or because the boyfriend has walked out on a mother with three children, only two of whom are his. Stuff happens. And if it can happen to our best educated receiving king-sized paychecks and all sorts of breaks from the Government, then it can certainly happen to the little guy. These bail outs are corporate welfare.

2) McCain hasn't been too self-revealing about specific financial plans, but Obama through out his campaign has, so we know what he will do:
  1. He will raise taxes, but only on the most successful, the brightest and best
  2. It is patriotic to have your taxes raised, so quicherbitchen
  3. He will demand more regulation, as though the financial industry doesn't have whip smart lawyers and accountants who know how to put Senators on their payroll
  4. He will send more corporations who employ Americans rushing to set up shop overseas where regulatory climates are friendlier
  5. He will take even more campaign money than he already has from the guys who have been causing this current mess, because TV ads and Hollywood parties are so expensive
  6. He will set up more goon squads so that you can't hear on the radio or read on the net what he's up to, because that would be racism if his true colors were known
Now, that's just what I know from watching his campaign ads--I haven't read much of his web page except for what Daniel, a Catholic Democrat Librarian Obama-lover has posted on his own web site.

So it's time for John and Sarah to speak up. We've got the Obama message down pat. Speak up, John.

I'm not hopeful that they're going to let Sarah say much. If he doesn't, then maybe he's not smart enough to be president?

The points you made about Obama are true and scary. I would like to hear from John. I've not been a big fan to this point, although he has my vote. So far, we at least agree on the major points. Obama and I agree on very little.

Charlie Rangel, that giant of fiscal foibles and fantasy, has called Sarah Palin "disabled." Since the able-bodied and brilliantly talented in Congress have messed up the economy, maybe it's time for an outsider like Sarah to take a peek. She couldn't do worse.
