1 Day to go but can Obama cure America's ills?

[Shuttle]

As I write this its 1 day to go before he is sworn in to office. I have just thought of all the problems to be solved by this man and his team once in power. Oh boy! Where do you begin? Parts of america's inner cities are like war-zones with AK-47 armed crack dealers on every street corner, an accountable to no-one military black projects goverment within a goverment thats gets billions of tax payers money for its one ends, a fanatical christian right which would have Bin Ladin taking notes, some native Hawaiian polynesians who would like their lands back after the 'regime change' the island under went in the 1890's,Native americans with similar demands,Crumbling infrastructure, poor education-ignorance,poverty, 2 illegal wars and greed.Phew! Quite a list of probs there.Add to that the fact that the deep south probaly do not like the idea of a black man in the White House who has a Islamic middle name. The sounds of gun oil being applied to assualt rifles must be getting deafening by now.
Some of this predates Bush so to expect problems that have been around for decades to be solved over night is expecting one heck of a lot.If he does not deliver a lot of people are going to be upset.
I just don't see how hes going to do it.But I'll wish him all the best none the less.Heres to hope America... you need it badly.

Give him time. We all must give him time. No one ever said that change will come over night. One thing is certain: tomorrow Tuesday, January 20th, 2009, marks the dawn of a NEW America. And this NEW America will not come into being just because of Obama. We must marshall our forces and only together, will this great nation live up to its true potential and once again flourish. We're witnessing history. It is such a privilege to be alive at this particular moment in time.

New America?
Sorry, but Obama has brought nothing but a worse economy, lower standing in the world and a dead ambassador.
I for one do not want to see how bad things can get over the next 4 years. ABO (anybody but Obama) will do just fine.

I am no Obama apologist. And we are definitely not making very much progress. However, we shouldn't just blame one person when our system is so broken. One man clearly can't control Congress; and apparently, the President has little control over the intelligence community. And while we'd like to think our President has control over the financial system which drives our economy, well that isn't the case either. It is an orchestra of controlled chaos, but no one person conducts the symphony.

It doesn't matter to me who is driving the bus when we go over the cliff. This country is in such a mess.

This could be our future!

An economic system that relies on perpetual growth with finite resources can only have one end result. Until recently I had no idea what money represents, and as it turns out it represents nothing in the real world - not gold, not food, nothing other than itself. The debt is not money owed to China or whoever, it is debt created by the banks that will be repaid by the future generations.

We are all in trouble (I'm in the UK). Take note on the news of how banks try to create yet more ways to borrow so they can prop up this system a little longer. Real life is rooted in real stuff: potatoes, water, chickens, bees, bacteria etc. but economists do not value these things. It's a crazy global system that cannot go on.

I think that most people that are coming to this forum is basically people who eventually has realized that the mainstream establishment are controlling hiding manipulating and censoring the truth, and seeks for the real truth elsewhere. We all pretty much know what the mainstream establishment are doing and how they operate to manipulate people and the public thoughts.

The mainstream science is (in this picture) just a small part. The mainstream establishment’s economic policy who has basically been a tool to enslave and control people for life is (in these days) on the brink of collapse. To find out what really is going on with the worlds economic system , one has to follow the same rules that we all use when we are trying to seek out the truth about science. That is pretty much to ignore the mainstream establishment’s version of the truth.

There are however not many sources reporting the truth available anymore. The mainstream establishment pretty much control all of it. The source I use (and recommend) to keep myself updated with the truth on the economic front is the Max Kaiser’s financial war reports. His streamed reports can be watched by following the link below. Seeking out the truth in a world of manipulation and lies is becoming increasingly more and more difficult as internet (the last resort) is on the brink of falling into the hands of the establishment. So track down the few sources of truth that are still available while you still can.

Regarding the upcomming american election. I hope no one gets offending by me saying this, but it is my opinion that Obama is a man that belongs to the global political correct establishment. Thus he belongs to the global political movement aiming for a the new global world order, which basically and eventually means dictatorship and the end of free speech and public thoughts. Happy elections to my american friends.
