Also it should be noted. Bush reached out and wanted to the transition to be as smooth as possible. I highly doubt Obama had the same recalcitrance or ornerism that Bush had to deal with during his transition. The Clinton’s abandoned the WhiteHouse, handed over the keys and said… Good Luck. At least Bush worked with Obama from day one after the election to make the transition smooth. Heck, Obama even set himself up with an official looking office and a .GOV page promising all sorts of goods.

What a doofus. This guy is winging it, and hard. All he wants to do is party it up, go play some b-ball, watch some TV, and be with his daughters. If he wanted to do all that (save the wanting to be with the daughters bit) he shouldn’t have ran for President.

Palin was lambasted for the semblance of being overloaded mother.

Obama apparently plans to sell “toxic assets” to hedge funds, and that means George Soros. With thes assets now valued far below reasonable prices because of mark to market there exists a huge potential upside for profit.

Since Soros contributed countless millions to Obama it’s not hard to imagine the connection.

Obama has done absolutely NOTHING to fix either than bank problems or the real estate problems, which are the major factors in this credit crisis. It is not a stretch to think that Obama has allowed assets to dive in value in anticipation of Soros buying them up at severely distressed prices.

This really should make people think about who Obama is really serving.
