How after 4 months is President Obama destroying everything this country has been founded on?
Let me tell the board what's going on, President Obama don't belong to the "Good Old Boy System."
You mentioned Homeland Security, there is a lot more on the table than closing Guantanamo Bay. Russia has openly admitted to supplying Iran with the technical capability to build a nuclear reactor and is one of Iran's strongest advocates in its quest to pursue such a course. In doing so, Russia has blatantly ignored warnings by the international community with full knowledge that its actions could lead to damaged relations. It was President Obama administration, not Bush, who spoke about abandoning a missile defense system proposed under the Bush administration: That dispute by Bush help bring the United States & Russia relations to the lowest point since the break-up of the Soviet Union. It was President Bush & the republican party who wanted to go into Iran with a thin military. North Korea just tested ballistic missiles with long-range missile technology a clear violation of the UN Resolution 1718. Thank God, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden both have great US foreign policy, [International working relations], both carry a great deal of respect.
You mentioned the economy.
"We are running out of the traditional ammunition that is used in a recession, which is to lower interest rates. They are getting to be about as low as they can go. And although the Fed is still going to have more tools available to it, it is critical that the other branches of government step up, and that is why the economic recovery plan is so absolutely critical. These difficulties will remain if we do not make a wholesale change to our economic policy. The potential of creating 2.5 million jobs is helpful, but it will not be a permanent solution." That's Vice President Biden on words, so It's clear, it's President Obama administration trying to restore America’s manufacturing base in order to generate future wealth producing capabilities. President Obama administration main agenda is American workers, American problems. They know as long as we are part of the North American Free Trade Agreement and the World Trade Organization we will remain unable to do so. And, economic growth in America need input from capital and labor, and the productivity of the inputs. For the economy to grow capital and labor in the market must increase or a more efficient way to produce products is found, or both situations occur. The need to invest in capital is directly related to the growth of the economy by increasing the amount of capital available in the economy and by enhancing labor productivity. Labor productivity can be directly complemented capital in the economy for investment in more productive operations.
Corporate, Judicial and Legislative fraud is costing millions of Americans their jobs, homes, earnings, health care, children's education and retirements. America's government offices direct the defrauded millions to commissions, committees bureaus, and government and corporate funded non-profit agencies [NGOs] they claim are set up to help,homeowners and prosecute fraud. But do any of these agencies prevent or prosecute home foreclosure fraud by corporations, lawyers and judges?
Who heads these commissions, committees and bureaus and non-profits we the taxpayers give billions of dollars to fund? Who are they really working for? Which corporations did they come from?
And it was the CEO's asking government for the bailout, arriving on privet jets, not the union.
This is Capitalism.
It was the Bush administration that awarded contracts to companies with a history of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. Wasting billions of tax payers money, the Bush Administration had an open check book. Vice President Cheney was to head the [Energy Task Force] Process Used to Develop the National Energy Policy. Vice President Cheney had headed Halliburton, and its strongly imply that the Administration has, in effect, been paying off its heavy-hitting energy industry contributors. It also very strongly implies that Vice President Dick Cheney lied to Congress. President Bush established the National Energy Policy Development Group ["Energy Group"], which was chaired by Vice President Dick Cheney. Cheney's Energy Group consisted of six cabinet officers [Treasury, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce, Transportation and Energy], plus other government officials he was authorized to include. [For example, he could include the Secretary of State, if international issues were involved.] The staff was made up of full time government employees. Clearly, the Energy Group was constituted to avoid the Federal Advisory Committee Act [FACA]. That 1972 law applies if any group of two or more persons utilized by a president for advice includes a non-government employee or official. If this occurs, FACA requires that the group must make all of its proceedings open to the public, keep records of the proceedings, and accommodate a broad spectrum of views. Cheney's Energy Group sought to avoid the FACA requirements by including only government employees, and no outside persons, and it appears they did so successfully. But we don't really know, because the Vice President refuses to provide the information necessary to make a determination. For all we know, non-government persons, perhaps from industry, may effectively have become part of the Energy Group in that they became involved in the advice given to the President.
Cheney's Energy Group was meeting with Bush's big contributors in the energy business, and that the heavy hitters from the oil patches and gas fields were looking for a return on their investment in Bush's campaign. The bottom line: energy was going to win; environmentalism would lose. Congressman Henry Waxman [D. CA], the ranking member on the Committee On Government Reform, and John Dingell [D. MI], the ranking member on the Energy and Commerce Committee, were sufficiently concerned about this prospect to write to both the Energy Group and the Comptroller General requesting information about the composition of the Group, and its activities. But all their inquiries have been to no avail.
You mentioned destroying everything this country has been founded on, Iraq was the Bush Administartion main focus, not the American economy, Iraq was the focus, a over costly war, very badly mismanaged war.
You mentioned Healthcare, President Obama administration major concerns are the number of people who lack health insurance and about the high and rising costs of health insurance. There are proposals that would substantially modify the health insurance system in this country. Because the Medicare program already provides nearly universal coverage to the elderly, those proposals generally focus on options for providing coverage to and reducing costs for the nonelderly population. Because most nonelderly people obtain their insurance coverage through an employer, proposals could affect that coverage in some way. They could, for example, provide new federal subsidies to pay some portion of health insurance premiums; impose mandates for individuals to purchase coverage or for employers to offer it; encourage alternatives to employment-based insurance or provide strong incentives to purchase coverage individually; or create new federally administered options for obtaining health insurance [including a single-payer system in which all citizens or residents would be offered coverage under Medicare].
