[Rhodes22-list] Soup or Tuesday

[Rik Sandberg]

Slim,

It's gonna' take a heck of a lot more than "raising our stature in the 
eyes of other nations" to straighten out the situation we are in now. 
What we really could use is a president who's not afraid to put the 
brakes on an economic bubble, or at least can recognize one when it's 
biting him in the ass. I'd vote for Obama in a heartbeat if I thought he 
had any financial sense and had a friend like Paul Volker.  He's a heck 
of a cheerleader and can sure get people fired up.

But as they say, talk is cheap, takes to buy whiskey. Pretty sure 
Obama's broke.
