Thread Name: BS: Popular Views: the Obama Administration
Subject: RE: Popular Views: the Obama Administration
Well, I have given this more thought than I should have... Yeah, I should have bought into this Democrtaic paranoi (Florida, 2000; Ohio 2004) but I think that Barack Obama will win this and I think that will be fortunate for the country because...

...he is a cool customer and that5's what America needs at this time... Wheather or not he becomes a 2nd FDR we'll see... What whe have seen is a guy who absolutely won't make decisions based on hunch or emotion... That's a good thing...

But, yeah, as my buddy JimmyT has pointed out, the economy is #1, #2 and #3... I know that Obama has very close ties to Warren Buffet but I think that he'll work well with current Fed chairman, Ben Bernacke... But he needs to also create some good feeling so look for Robert Gates to be kept at Defense... Look for Colin Powell to return to State... And Richard Lugar will also be pulled in... Not sure where but this will show, unlike what Bush did in 2000, that Obama means to govern all the people....

Now back to the economy... Obama is going to have to accept McCain's proposal to buy up forclosure loans where the homeowner can reasonably pay at 6% fixed for 30 years... This will stabilize the housing market and is exactly what FDR did in 1933 with his Home Loan Corp.... But Obama is going to have to take this one step further and sell the American people on a perminent Home Loan Corp. and use the principle tyo repay the4 taxpayers initial outlay and the interest to go into shoring up Social Security....


Most of these things I feel strongly he will do...

Now we just gotta go and stand in the luines to make it happen because...

a McCain administration will be like a human pinball with no cohesive narrative and no real plan...
