Govern

I am not a pundit. My life’s experience guides me. You have to admit that I predicted Massachusetts and Volcker’s big bank restrictions when your people were in denial over both. I have noted many times that my messages don’t connect with you.

Show me you can effectively govern.

Get a hold of the banking crisis. Geithner has pressed on the gas pedal (gas = people’s money) with a heavy foot, oblivious of the amount of gas in the tank (the national debt). He has not fixed the engine (toxic assets in the banks) so we use more gas than we need to and we risk to have another breakdown. The cars’ owners took out insurance from AIG for engine troubles, and Geithner paid AIG to payoff the insurance policies without an engine change. Geithner then uses the people’s money to pay the owners to fix the engine.

The executive branch of government has no duty to admonish judges, just change the law to say corporations do not have first amendment rights. By the way, I am concerned that you are not concerned at the bad press the Justice Department is attracting. The failure to establish a case in the Blackwater affair. The failure to close Guantanamo in one year as promised. The Justice Departments judgment to hold KSM’s trial in New York City. FBI breakdowns in the Christmas bomber affair.

If you don’t know history you risk to repeat it. You sound like Jimmy Carter when you say there is loss of trust. At least, make some plans for a legacy if you have one term. Do something for the downtrodden. Fill the courts with your choice of judges. Do something to make Blacks proud, don’t be an Alberto Gonzales, bringing ignominy to Hispanics. You come across as a coconut – black on the outside, white on the inside who hangs out with white spin masters Axelrod and Gibbs. After one term, Jimmy Carter left no legacy.

I can’t predict 2012 because I don’t know who the Republicans will nominate. An attractive candidate like Michael Bloomberg could handily beat you. A bland candidate could give you a real race (Who ever heard of Scott Brown?) because of your record of public failures and desertion of minority groups and middle class. You are now whining about the Republicans yet overlook your own failures in management.
