Sir;...The democrats wanted to Bush to fail???That is why they gave him every thing he asked for, and showed absolutly no spine in dealing with him??? Strange strategy... They must have learned that in the South from the KKK who liked to give blacks as much rope as they could hang from a tree.... You know, Presidents are actually inessential to the good every person needs in their lives... Their power to do good is significant, and their power to do harm is remarkable; But their power to do nothing when something is needed is a sore spot in our history books...We did not want Mr. Bush to screw up... The man was a rummy... He could barely speak let alone make wise judgements.... Fools rush in... That saying could be painted all over his presidency... And you act surprised that all the democrats did not want to go dancing in the mine field too... If they had had any nads they would told him to get his oil buddies to pay for his trip to Iraqiland....Honest to God; if we had ever had any democracy that man would never have been elected... He was a choice for many my asss... We don't have a choice, except this party or that... We don't know those people, but we are divided along party lines, and this time, with Mr. Bush, that division resulted in the worst possible president imaginable....If want of democracy, and if party politics makes such a man our president then surely we have no protection...The division extends to every district in the country...
What have these parties done but lead us to the point of stalemate so they can do as they damned well please??? Yet they fear the division...That is what the democrats governed to.... They gave Mr. Bush all he asked for because they feared to call the spade a spade...They ran from fear of fickle public opinion.... They ran scared from the fool decider...What does that make them??? Thanks...Sweeney

Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke, stated and I'm quoting ‘We really had no choice in bailout of
AIG!' Yes, Mr. Bernanke, you did have a choice! When AIG received first bailout, why
weren't strict guidelines imposed on them; such as, NO MORE BONUSES, cut ‘CEO fat cat'
salaries, freebies, and retirements to maximum $25,000.00 year. Older employees, offer
them an early retirement package! All other salaries to be cut by at least one-quarter, as a
slice of the pie is better than no slice at all! Mr. Bernanke this includes you and the rest of
politicians! The other option would have been to let AIG file bankruptcy so they could start
over, and maybe this time they would be more concerned and knowledgeable of what it
takes to run a company by tightening their pocketbooks! You see, Mr. Bernanke, bad
choices is what's put America into Bankruptcy and borrowing money from foreign
countries that we can't pay the interest on! Where's the common sense in these matters?

Taxpayers understand Bay of Thailand is buying AIG Retail Bank Company and deal is to
be completed April 2009. Since this is really Taxpayers money, will you and rest of
politicians make sure AIG pay off the trillions of dollars borrowed, without Taxpayers'
consent, to foreign countries?

That brings Taxpayers to the latest for AIG's bonuses and the statement “If we don't pay
them big bonues, they'll sue us!” How dumb you are? It's Taxpayers' money, not yours to
give! It's time for for AIG, Freddie, Fannie, Banks, Automakers and anyone else standing in
line taking Taxpayers money to immediately file Bankruptcy! Enough is Enough!

President Obama's top economic advisers vigorously defends his 3.6 trillion budget! News
flash for you -- “Taxpayers don't defend this nor any of the so-called put people back to
work programs, called infrastructures. I just left a meeting in which one of the ‘economic
advisers' from a bank stated he'd been in DC for a week!” I asked him why he thought
America needed infrastructures if we didn't bring textile and furniture manufacturing jobs
back to America? He stated ‘they' didn't discuss this, just infrastructures! Remember, these
large banks like Citicorp, Wachovia, etc. were bailed out! Taxpayers wonder why we're
bailing them out if politicians continue allowing the ‘economic' idiots to advise them. He
had no answers! Guess what, Mr. Economic Adviser was hoping the floor would open up
and I'd fall through it! You see, all the expert politicians and economists know as much
about ‘thrifty management' as a newborn and this, folks, is the reason for Change and not
Obama's change methods, either!

There seems to be a lot of ‘experts' in government and financial institutions with no
common sense. It's time to run America like a private business; meaning, President, Vice-
President, Secretary, and Treasurer. All these cabinet members collecting huge salaries
and benefits will have to come to an end. Taxpayers know it's time to cut salaries to
$12,000.00 yearly for all politicians. After all, these Public Servant jobs give less than 30
days of service and, in today's world of mismanagement, deceit and greed, so this is more
money than they deserve.

Why aren't we prosecuting the people handing out Taxpayers monies and the people
who's receiving it? The reasons being very clear-who's collecting and benefiting!

WAKE UP AMERICA!
