The direction Obama is going trying to fix this mess is the direction of Communism and complete government control.
He wants to control your banks, healthcare, and insurance companies right now. What's next?
His cap and trade bullshit he's trying to get passed does nothing except raise your electricity bill and put and unnecessary tax on energy.
It's also designed to make the guys he's in bed with in Chicago rich as fuck, because they have some kind of interest in a power company and this new bullshit allows them to sell their rights to burn coal to other companies for a ridiculous price. It will not fix anything.
The redistribution of wealth and increasing government control have us headed directly to socialism / communism.
If I saw Obama in person I'd only have three words to say to him. Free Market Capitalism. Upon hearing those three words said one after the other, he would most likely melt into a puddle of communist goo and return to the mother land.
