“Dear President Barack Obama,

The news is full of a constant barrage vilifying Goldman Sachs both from the left and the right. What is written about Goldman Sachs seems to be fairly accurate. Yes, I agree that Goldman Sachs is feathering their own nest but on the other side of the coin they seem to be aiding our country along with themselves.

Now is the time to ask who is stoking the boilers and feeding this story into the media and why. Is this perception management being fed by corporations, health industry, and drug industry to destroy the huge support that President Obama has by creating a scandal in the banking bailout?

The truth is a nebulous commodity when dealing with such large forces with so much money to blow on cognition control. It is hard for us citizens to cut through the crap that is being feed us so I’m asking you, Mr. President, to speak out and give us, your supporters, the truth straight from the horses mouth.”

No bid contracts to the tune of billions and billions of dollars awarded to favored companies. Did the good citizens show up in Washington to demand a stop to the practice? NO!

Trillions of dollars slipped into bankers and corporations pockets directly from our countries coffers, did the people get outraged more than typing on a few blogs and show up in Washington to demand that our legislators stop giving away the store? NO!

So, now we get down to voting and we had a large turnout for President Obama. Has anything changed like you expected? Are any of the thieving bankers in jail? Do you expect anything to change?

Each and every American has been screwed big time and there was absolutely no backlash from the citizenry, none! Congress will continue to feather their own nest and take care of the lobbyist, corporations and the uber rich.

You and me will sit on our dead butts and do nothing but complain.

Millions of people out of work, millions of people lose their homes, millions of people lose their retirements (401k’s) millions, billions, trillions, the numbers don’t even count anymore……Do Americans go to Washington and demand until they get satisfaction? NO!

Is anybody tarred and feathered? NO! Shouted at even? NO!

Its been over for a long time, for many years now congress and corporations and the rich have done what they want and screwed who they can and we have done nothing about it.”

“Lots of complaining but no action from Americans. Even the Iranians are in the streets fighting for their country and not just sitting at their computers complaining. When Americans get angry enough to go to Washington and show them a little action or shove a few bankers around to make them understand we aren't going to take it anymore, well, that might force a change but it ain't gonna happen here in the uS we are nothing but a bunch of whinners and complainers but no action anymore. Who can blame politicians, bankers and the rich fat cats as they have nothing to fear and can loot our governent treasury anytime they want with impunity. It is all over folks and you lose!”

“Oh! Yeah!, we need to bail out the auto companies.

Remember when the Republicans were chanting "Drill baby drill" Well in a way they were right only we don't have to drill offshore all we need to do is drill the auto manufacturers.

We loan them money and connect those loans to retooling and put rules into effect that cars cannot weigh more than 2,000 pounds and have to get over 50 MPG. We don't use strings but stout cables on these requirements. No compliance, no money.

We raise the tax on gas to maintain over $4.00 per gallon and use the money to rebuild our infrastructure i.e. improved roads and national high speed rail system.

Just think with smaller cars we only have to repaint the lines on the highways to increase the number of lanes. Just think how many cars we can park in the same space.

I know pie in the sky. Makes to much sense so it won't happen.”

“We need to save the auto companies but not to produce those giant behemoths that burn so much gas and take up so much of the road.

First thing that needs to be done is to raise the tax on gas so that it stays above $4.00 a gallon to force the auto companies and their idiot customers to buy economical small cars. If we do this and Detroit retools to build smaller cars we can also make freeway lanes narrower and make new lanes without making new freeways. There would be more room for parking, so on and so forth.

The money raised with gas tax could be used to build high speed trains on dedicated tracks going coast to coast along highways 10, 20, 40, 80, and north and south along side 5, 95 and through the middle of the country. This would provide jobs and ultimately stop our need to import oil.

If we only use our heads we can make an entire sane and prosperous nation.

If we let greed and self indulgents take over again it is back down tnto the sewer.

I have been through this before in the 70's and just as soon as the shortage disappeared so did the concern over conservation of resources.”

“You hit the nail on the head. Doesn't it make you wonder how the solid right wing base is made up of Evangelicals who claim to believe in Christ and live in and for him yet join in the hate and fear campaigns of the Republians. What is wrong with this picture?”

“There is only one sure way to overcome the fraud and cheating and that is to go to the polls is such numbers that the outcome cannot be in doubt. No more close elections. We the people have to overwhelm those who would deny us our voice and overwhelm them in such numbers as they can't deny us our day at the polls.”

“Another tactic that will be used is slow voting creating long lines trying to discourage voters from voting.

What ever you do, please, please do not let these tactic work. Stand there all day and night if you have to but vote vote vote!

Look on MSNBC right now to see how long the lines are in Atlanta.”

“This is outragous.

They don't even have to mess with the programming all they have to do is increase the sensitivity of the touch screen or desensitize another button. We have all seen examples of this being done already.

After two hundred years we can’t get it right and every four years it is a c l u s t e r ‘you know what’.”

“Those Christians who repeat the lies about Obama being a Muslim are not only fools but tools of the Republican Party and these Religionist are breaking Gods ‘ninth’ Commandant of Thou shall not lie or bear false witness against thy neighbor.

These Religionist may be good Republican Party members but they are not being good Christians and will surly end up in hell for their breaking the Gods ‘ninth’ Commandment.

These Christians will have to choose God or Republican Party. Lies, scurrilous rumors, innuendo, dubious associations, whispering campaigns, email chain letters full of lies or their own salvation.

We have all seen examples of how faux Christians behave and believe me God will sort them out when the time comes.”

“It shouldn’t shock you that the religionist would believe the most outrages things told them as they have believed their Pastors lies for their entire lifetimes. Adding a few more outrages lies doesn’t trigger their truth alarms as their minds are ready to accept what they are told if it comes from their authority figures in their churches. They just don’t have the ability to discern truth and reality from fiction.”

“I certainly expect a quick follow up from these reporters with a copy of the letter she spoke of and I expect it d a m n quick. It needs to be spread all over the news as an example of the lies and fear the Republicans are spreading amongst our seniors.”

“This is an example of the misinformation that is fed to these older trusting less educated people that the right wing uses without any regard to their well being. The right wing fills their heads with lies and they are believed because this misinformation comes down through their churches and groups such as the non profits FRC.

Please, please remember this very public exposure of this despicable practice used by the Republicans on the right. This is truly ‘Senior abuse’ to bombard these seniors with lies, nastiness and misinformation to cause fear to sway an election.”

“This is a big project that can only be done by our government just like the moon landing. You could create a new agency like NASA or even use NASA, they could do the job. To bad all the old NASA engineers are gone but we could train new ones. We don’t have to reinvent the wheel, all the technology has been used before all we have to do is adapt it to our needs. I certainly hope you consider these ideas as we have to do something.”

“ If we no longer have capacity to make or build a component we will have to retool and begin a new company to do so. It would not begin in one place but in every major city and work both directions from there so there would be hundreds of job sites across the nation. This project would create jobs and provide us with a system that would eliminate the need to import oil. These high speed trains would be powered with electricity which could be generated solely for the system with new nuclear plants situated throughout the system. It is time to cut off the balls of the oil men and build this without their help. We have been screwed for years so they could sell more cars and oil. We have to stand up against them and do what is right for America and Americans. We won’t have many more chances to do anything to save ourselves. I hate to put so much pressure on you Obama but you really are our last hope for our great country. I hate to give credit to a conservative but this is the plan that was talked about in ‘Atlas Shrugged’ by Ayn Rand when she wrote about Reardon steel. With a few minor changes it would work. We just can’t let the fat cats get a hold of it or it will be screwed up beyond help.”

“Open letter to Barack Obama campaign. I have a few suggestions that I would like to share with you. We have to invest in the infrastructure of America and one way I see that we can do that is start a completely new project that would put thousands of Americans to work across America and create a project that would help Americans and wean us off foreign oil. What I’m suggesting is a national high speed railroad with dedicated tracks with no crossings to cause accidents. It would not carry freight only passengers. This railroad would follow highways 10, 20, 40, 80, 5, 95 and so on and would connect with feeder line from large cities. It would be built with steel made only in America. It would be an American project entirely ‘made in the United States’.”

“Does anyone actually believe that someone will show up and vote using one of these phony ID's?

This is such a phony, phony ploy by the GOP to affect the election.

Do you think Mickey Mouse will show up at the polls and show an ID and vote?

If you are tired of being manipulated by the GOP, just look at the drop in gas prices just before the election, then you need to be voting for Barack Obama.

We are going to have to wrench the reins of power from the GOP, they won't give it up easily.”

“Nationalize Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, they are only two people. We sacrifice them, use their money, and buy up all the bad paper, problem solved. Hey! Maybe they can sell it later for a profit. We can sacrifice just two guys to save the rest of us. RIGHT! They should be proud to give their all, like so many others have to defend their right to get rich. After all, we are only asking for their money not his lives like Bush has done over and over. Over 4,000 dead in Iraq!”

“I'm sorry but didn't you mean, What was McCain supposed to do?”

“Your it Pal. No one else is going to help.

If you don't do it this weekend it will be all over and they will have handed over the money and run like hell for cover.”

“You do know don't you why the the bums rush and why they are is so much of a hurry?

So you can't stop them, so you don't have time to go to Washington and demand face to face that they don't do this. They got to get it done right now to keep their a s s e s alive...”

“Now is the time for a "MARCH on WASHINGTON" not a one million man march but how about:

100 Millon person march.

Typing will not get the job done.

I say will fill Washington on Saturday!

Drive, Fly, Walk but go to Washington D.C.

March on Washington and take your country back...”

“If this deal goes through like this, I'm done with America, I will not vote, I will look out for myself and to hell with anyone else.

Our countries leaders are bending over backward to give into blackmail and I don't want any part of it.

With all this pending doom and gloom the market is going up?

If anyone wants to lead a revolution, I'm ready to join.

I don't know why I should be so upset, Bush went to war with lies and we did nothing about it.

I'm done, my brain just won't handle this anymore.”
