I do not recall any past criticisms from you of Republican devised deficits. Perhaps you feel tax breaks for the wealthiest in our society and funding for a war started on the basis of intelligence picked over to pull out any bit that supported their view and culling (to the degree of outing our own) any disagreeable evidence hasn't even the slighest tint of bias. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps you feel the prevailing attitudes of irresponsibility in our financial markets had nothing to do with the "hands off" attitude expounded by Republican leaders over the last thirty years.<BR/><BR/>Obama has the unpleasant task of salvaging our failing economy. Under other circumstances he would surely act diffently. I do not feel it's honorable or a sign of good character to cricize the man for trying to repair a terrible situation he had no hand in creating. You critique should be leveled at those banking institutions and the men who created the atmosphere for their indiscretions, not at the man who is attempting to repair those misdeeds.<BR/><BR/>Obama's plan may fail, but if it does the consequences for our future will be dire. Perhaps in you prideful desire to choose sides you've forgotten that unfortunate fact.lequinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05145458847381159360noreply@blogger.com
