While Obama Fiddles, The Country Burns

I was flying home from Ohio yesterday when Obama gave his awe inspiring speech to the nation. I saw the re-run. What a piss-poor-performance!

To paraphrase, "The stock market goes up and the stock market goes down." Well, no shit Sherlock! And, that is supposed to calm the fears that my life savings and retirement may be headed for the drain?

What we are enjoying now isn't a simple market adjustment with stocks going down a bit. The market went down in flames. This is a crash and burn scenario.

I'd like to see a plan emanating from the oval office on how to dowse the flames and repair the damage done by this so-called debt crisis. Or is Obama just fiddling with himself while the country burns?

That's a rhetorical question. There is no need to reply.

  2. Hi Jeff,

    Personally, I'd like to see Obama throw caution to the wind and tell the Tea Bag Republicans to "...go to hell. This is my presidency, not yours."

    It worked for Truman.

    Thanks for your comment. It is always welcome.

    Jon
