He probably doesn't want the job but Warren Buffett would help keep the Fed in control.

The Fed should be nationalized ...... not controlled by private bankers.

President Wilson, too late, lamented its creation.

Great idea .....

The founders provided for a solution for the possibility that the federal branches might become too corrupt to respond to the rights and needs of the citizens.

They guaranteed the states the right to a Article V Convention to be ordered by the Congress when 2/3's of the states requested same.

Such a Convention would allow the states to alter the Constitution to insure their freedom and rights.

This guaranteed right of the states/people has been stonewalled as 628 applications by ALL 50 OF THE STATES already exist.

This constitutional right has been thwarted by a duopolistic political system where both parties have vested interests.

THIS DENIAL MAKES THE PATRIOT ACT LOOK LIKE BABYSHIT !!!

And yet, you hear nothing from the american public.

Why oh why do americans not care about their own freedoms and rights? Where are their minds at ??? Worrying about how they are going to buy more "stuff"?

Dave, send your recommendation to the Obama camp listed in one of the letters above.

I have many recommendations to make ...... I may be ignored but I will go on record.

People should just stop buying all that electronic crap ...... they don't need it anyway ........ course we only worry about our pocketbooks ..... not ethics or truth.

Quote: "We are supposed to believe that the government is what is best to fix this (and every) problem, just under a leader you like, not Bush."

Witness the "bailout" ....... apparently that is what the rich and powerful believe when their balls are in a sling.

Monkeys .....

Created this situation by allowing George Bush to get out of control ....... they should have challenged his reckless and absurb executive orders (which bypass the congress) ..... but they stood by and did nothing ....... the door is open and the horses have already escaped from the barn.

I don't know how to approach it, (Courts or legislation?) but executive orders are going to have to be redefined strictly to allowing use only under certain well-defined situations.

Till you get a confession that they are the terrorists.

Or better yet, just put hit contracts out on all of them.

Save lot of taxpayer money in the process.

Everybody drops their guard at some time.

We already know that the law does not apply equally to persons in the USA.

Corrupt businessmen can steal millions or billions and just get a fine if caught.

I can go to jail for stealing a hubcap.

Etc, etc, etc,

Refusal to pursue members of the Bush administration who have clealy broken laws will be a further reminder of this inequality and will breed more cynicism in the american people.

The real blockage here is that the courts and congress went along with the activities and thus are accomplices ...... they will not want to pursue convictions that will also indict them.

There is nothing to stop the rise of 3rd or even multiple parties if the american people come to realize we are living under a duopoly of 2 parties that both have the same vested interests.

Tell your mom about Chamberlain and "peace at any price".

Tell her how the german people looked the other way and the whole nation was held responsible for what followed (not just the military or party officials ...... the german people in toto).

If Bush and company is pardoned, the people should head to washington and storm the bastille.

Huge numbers of "middle americans" just lost large amounts of their savings and retirement accounts ...... now huge numbers of them are poised to lose their jobs.

Will will see how this group reacts as things get worse.

We've had one in the White House for 8 years.

Must learn to stick together and move together for their common good as their enemies are the same ..... the rich and the elite.

1) The duopoly (Rep and Dem Congress) has spent years creating as many barriers as possible to the viability of 3rd and/or multiple parties.

2) The National Guard was originally intended as a means to resist a corrupt federal govt/military. If the federal govt became too corrupt, the guards could march to Washington and overthrow the govt.

3) The american people sat by and let Bush "nationalize" the guard ...... removing them from under the authority of the individual state legislatures/governors.

4) As I have mentioned several times in Salon, the founding fathers provided a means to bypass corruption and/or inaction by any or all of the 3 branches of govt thru Article 5 of the Constitution.

The article provides that when 2/3's of the states ask for a convention (whose purpose would include amendments to the constitution), Congress is required to call for same.

Over 600 applications have been made by all 50 states and yet no Convention has been called.

This represents treason on the part of the Congress and is sufficient for rebellion itself.

5) What is the common element here ????? The american people are in a trance ...... so self-concerned that they apparently do not care what is being done by their govt.

In my opinion, they have it too good still ........ they have sold their ethics for goods.

When they can no longer afford all that "stuff" that they now "serve", perhaps they will turn to look at those who have "betrayed" them.

6)As far as changing the current system ......... methinks only rebellion will work ........ get those who produce nothing but make money from those who do ...... we won't miss them ...... like cockroaches, there are plenty more where they came from ...

Apparently you were deceived into thinking you lived in a democracy ....... full of truth and justice for all.

Here, its "money talks and nobody walks" ....

and his edginess as Secret Agent Man.
