 Today is an historic day in the US. Our first Afro-American President takes his oath. For starters, I don't think color or sex has anything to do with how well a person can do a job. I do think it was time for new blood in DC and I'm not playing party lines here. While I think former President Bush was a good man, I think he made some bad mistakes. Were all human and all of us at one time or another will make them, I just think it's worse if you either don't learn from them or don't try not to correct them. I just wonder about anyone that wants the job of President of the United States. Would you spend more money to get a job than you'd ever make working at it? Would you want the pressure of millions of lives being in your hands 24/7 365 for the next four years? Is it possible to do the job anymore or are all hands tied to the special interest groups that got them there? I admire the guts of anyone willing to take the job with all its problems and I hope we get back on track very soon before bailouts become nothing more than handouts. I feel stopping foreclosures would do a great deal to boost things. Whats your thoughts fellow gamers? Hopeful or not?

My feelings as an accountant/economist... the wohle concept behind these bailouts is to try to balance a delicate scale by hitting it with a sludgehammer. now that's not saying it wont' work, only that there is no precidence on how big of a sludgehammer to use. the scale would eventually balance itself on its own....but that would mean people losing jobs, losing houses, industries dieing.....but it would also leat to new industries, and new jobs, new oppertunities ect..... I liked Bush, untill this Bail out, I trusted him to make the good decisions based in info I wasn't meant to know....after the bailout, I still trust his past decisions....but, I'm wondering who was giving him his information..

My Opinion..I think Obama will turn out to be just another politician like all the rest. He talks a good game and makes pretty speeches and whoopiedy doo, but at the end of the day he is hiring ex-clintonites, he is promising more than he can fulfill (i know, i know we'll see), regardless of what the democrats are saying he is not the messiah returned. he is just another man who sold his soul to sit in the oval office. In my opinion.
