Ok been a couple days now.. Where is Obama? The President hasn't said anything. Historic event, first time in all our lives and our parents lives and grandparents lives that US credit is downgraded. But the President has no words for us.

This weakness in the executive branch is dangerous.

Even if you're wrong, you never want to be weak. Weakness is the worst. We'd be better off with another FDR, a strong president who would just tell the ratings agencies how irrelevant they are:

That was no idiot who murdered JFK. Do you realize the US would be debt free if JFK lived because of executive order 00001. JFK wanted the US to adopt a debt free currency backed by silver. The banking cartels murder him for that. After he was Assassinated the silver coins in circulation were confiscated and melted down. We have not had real honest President in the US since that day.


Obama could still be a hero if he picked up where JFK left off but he would have to turn against his masters who put him in power to do so. The only way he would survive is if he did what Philip IV did in 1307 and have all the conspirators hanged for high treason.

I love the way we rewrite history. Wasn’t Oswald married to a Russian girl he met while living in the worker’s paradise after he defected to the Soviet Union? I suspect that Nikita Khrushchev had Kennedy wacked for forcing him to back down during the Cuban Missile Crisis. If the Cold War Soviets would attempt to kill a Pope, they would not blink at killing a president. Khrushchev was from the Stalin era and was particularly ruthless.

I suspect the veil of secrecy prevented an all out nuclear war.

[Novus]

Dig a little deeper Cloud9 you will find the real truth. The history of US is that of the people at war with the banks. Every president has had to fight with the Banks from the founding days of Washington, Adams, and Jefferson to Andrew Jackson dissolving the banks to Lincoln financing the war with green backs. I could go on an on and on. Wilson and FDR had to make devils bargains with the banks. JFK was murdered by the banks and Nixon and every president since has been owned by the banks. Bush bailed out the banks at tax payer expense while Obama continued TARP. They are all puppets.

@Sixstrings

Your error is you somehow believe that the government's job is to create jobs. The only jobs they can create are more government jobs. I hope that is not your solution to the federal debt problem although it seems to be Obama's.

Austerity is nothing to be afraid of. Austerity rewards those who don't live paycheck to paycheck and have planned for the future. In other words, it rewards those who are intelligent enough to see trends and react to them and punishes those whose intellectual capability stops at American Idol and NASCAR. I'm not seeing the downside here for the country.
