Dave K,
Your invective and its content, together with your childish lists show you for what you are. I have worked in financial risk for decades and do not need you to indicate some selective sources. As for me being an "ignorant socialist antiAmerican" I have letters of thanks and appreciation from several US State governers who kindly also invited me to their homes and official residences. I actually am closer to Republican than Democrat, but belong to that part of the republican outlook that despises you and your type, along with the religious fundamentalists of all sorts.
To show you how wrong you are, just take one small quote from one of your own sources - "Fed policy......... is the cause of the boom-and-bust cycle that has caused the housing bubble and its bursting. Not "market failure" but Fed policy."
Can you tell me who has been in power for the last 8 years? Can you tell me what the US deficit has grown to in that same period? Are you really trying to convince me that blame can be dumped on Clinton and Carter for what has been happening during the last 8 years? What was the fool in No. 1100 doing for the eight years of his watch? May I suggest that he was - at best - asleep at the helm. It is one thing to get dragged into a war, but to start not one, but two of them is inexcusable. Particularly when there is no exit strategy.
Obama will get in, the world will continue to turn, people will continue to own, buy and sell guns, and hopefully the US, a once great and respected country, will get the government it deserves and redeem its former position. But I'm not even sure of that.
K.
