Who is President Right Now?

According to the results of the 2008 election, one would presume Obama to be the President of the United States.  However, watching our government in action, one would think that Nancy Pelosi is our current president.

Obama seems to have slipped into the role of yes man, whipping boy, etc.  He gets on TV just long enough to talk about what our country needs, in this case, whatever Pelosi tells him we need.  He then plays soldier boy and acts as if he has a backbone or beleives in her agendas as if they were her own.

Pelosi has not been elected president.  Her years of being the crazy San Francisco representative which was oddly placed 2nd in line for the presidency have left her with pent up angst and lots of pet projects.  It would seem that she views the Obama presidency as an opportunity to push for everything half baked idea that she's had in her hat to date.

Somebody needs to let Obama know that he is president.  Although his socialist concepts are not what the country needs, we would like to hear him speak for himself and get off of Pelosi's lap for a minute.  Nancys Pelosi has never had what this country needs.  She's a great spokesperson for an ultra liberal wing of our government that wants to give away everything that our forefathers worked for.  In troubling times, we are not afforded the convenience of those types of policies.

We are in a time of hard decisions, precarious situations, and do not have the luxury of getting all willy nilly in persuing pet project that detract from the needs of our economy.

Obama, take the leash from Pelosi, remove the collar from your neck, and put her in her place!

The Mortgage Crisis

The mortgage crisis could not have been an accident. The people that "approved" the mortgages KNEW that:

  1. Were going to have prohibitive payments in 12 to 24 months
  2. Were going to be on property worth far less than what they sold for within 12 to 24 months
  3. Would be forclosed on because they couldn't sell for the amount of the mortgage

Bankers blame it on homeowners making bad decisions or not having foresight. However, those bankers get very uncomfortable when you point out that these mortgage were all approved by bankers that get PAID to know the market and it's trends.

When you point out that regular people like you and I saw this coming back in 2004/2005, they start to tap their fingers and look around nervously.

The short answer is that they set us up and we don't know "why".

Mortgages traditionally require people prove they can make the payments even when the market is not headed down. The banks knew exactly what they were doing...

The Media On It's Knees

Why is it that the mainstream media is clamoring on their knees in front of Obama as if their unwarranted affection will somehow lower his zipper and give them what they so desperately seem to want?
