Trump As President [Reader Post]

Loading

TRUMP – The analysis begins in earnest as it should. Obama has announced his reelection campaign from the vantage and with the advantage of the bully pulpit. Contenders are lining up as America as America struggles through a long recession, yearning for strong decisive leadership.

Donald Trump has teased the electorate in the past, pretending to seriously consider a run for the White House. This Presidential election finds Republican support for some politically green but very appealing potential candidates. These may well bide their time and wait until 2016 before displaying the audacity to become pretenders to the seat in the Oval Office. Past analysis such as Obama – The First Tell, was helpful in anticipating a President Elect’s road ahead. Trump’s superficial relationship with the voting public has been distorted by its inevitable distance from an unusual celebrity billionaire. Donald Trump has delighted in each moment of attention he has been able to attract by jumping onto the spotlight dot. His reach into our communal consciousness begs a little scrutiny.

• Trump is not ideologically anchored. This moves his appeal factor positively as he will carry little obligation to either political party. He will also present a more refreshing alternative to a public tired of Washington indebtedness to special interests. At the very least, he will be more honest with how he feels, and he will easily be more knowledgeable with on all topics than what we have seen subjected to since the last Presidential election.

• A lack of ideological fervor also makes it more likely that from his perch in the Oval Office he would be a pragmatist. Unlike the embarrassingly far “left” rooted individuals choking the Obama Administration, Trump would most probably pluck the best talent, however it might present itself, wherever he could find it, and in whatever political flavor it might be drenched.

• His insecurities mean his ego can be stroked to get his favor and attention, but he isn’t narcissistic. In Trump’s case the insecurities also suggest that he is driven to succeed.

• Trump will surround himself with experienced talent, and it is unlikely that he will punt important decisions down the road, or to someone else, unlike Obama who is clearly controlled by his handlers and seems ready, willing and able, to have others take care of business. If and when America elects Trump, he will be the President, NOT one of his handlers.

• Trump will not chase the Presidency in order to enable a retirement anxious for newfound opulence and luxury. Trump might be seduced, but he won’t be bought.

• Trump will get into the face of anyone in his administration not delivering the goods whether on the economy, on international affairs, and on national affairs. His ego will not allow for anything to screw up. Trump will be a “task master.”

• He’ll probably try to figure out how to get his name emblazoned over the White House front door. He has a tendency to “brand” everything he touches. One way or another, he’ll want the world to know “Donald Trump was here.” “Destiny” would be his middle name for at least four years.

• Getting elected would not be Trump’s “crowning moment,” . . . the four years of his Presidency would be.

• He may not be as bright as Slick Willy Clinton, however he isn’t as ideologically rooted, therefore his pragmatism will be more effective and he is likely to be more persuasive. Oh, and he will not tarnish the Oval Office the way Slick did.

• He isn’t afraid of hard work, and his track record suggests an interested, inquisitive mind, unlike what we have recognized in the current occupant of the leather chair in the Oval Office.

• Trump likes attention, obviously, but his need to be successful at everything he does, means he’s a workaholic, which would be a welcome change from the reality we have discovered in the incumbent.

• Trump has been in the construction business in New York, Atlanta, Las Vegas and Chicago where he’s had to have a close and warm working relationship with the mob since the mob controls such minor and unimportant industries as Concrete. Those “guys” are not the easiest crowd in town to deal with. Trump knows how to ”get things done,” and will. When you need a guy, he “knows a guy.”

• Trump cleaned his bankers – got the better of them through his now legendary recoveries from the grim shadows of the poorhouse, again, and again, and again. That took unmitigated brass.

• Trump comes across as a bit of a lecher who could give Slick Willy a run for his money, but that’s just a perception. Slick used other people’s executive jets to take advantage of impressionable young women, and the whole world knew about it except Hillary. Trump has his own plane.

• Love for America? It is impossible to deny that Trump really loves America, and is passionate about its success and leadership in the world.

• Contributions to both political parties? You’re kidding? . . . . Who cares. He bought some support. That’s what Congress is there for, . . . to be bought. The results are obvious and ever present.

• Trump has a long track record of being a leader. America is longing for a leader who can deliver more than long words on a teleprompter saying little and delivering less.

• Genuflection – somehow that is not a picture of a President Trump and any foreign head of state which would be served up by the MSM. Ever. Knocking fists? Perhaps. Genuflection? Not much.

• Trump’s fluid I-speak-my-mind-regardless-who-I’m-talking-to approach would be a refreshing alternative from the daily decantings of unrelenting telepromptered dronings we are served from the White House. Not that Trump’s musing are all intelligent, many are fused in common sense, but at least he’s entertaining when he drives off the road.

Elections are greatly influenced by the state of the economy. Regardless what the Administration, or its supportive pundits pretends, . . . the economy continues to be in serious trouble and will be so through the 2012 election. Additionally, there is no will or clarity in the White House, and not much of it in a majority of Congress to deal head-on with the deficit, or the debt, or job creation. Trump provides an alternative which the poles currently suggest is being seriously considered.

Donald is an A1 pig..have you forgotten the woman, the drugs, the debt that can never be accounted for. His Condo Project in NYC in the mid ’80’s had 23 different accounting firms make proforma reviews, in order for it to work..Never worked but it was built anyways.. He had to sell his ship in a Scotland under a different name.

No better a whore dog than Clinton. Working in the city in the 80’s was one drama show after another. Why don’t you pull up some of the papers for that time. Trunp made either the 1st, 2ed or 3ed page every day..and it was pure garbage.

trump has no leadership skills. He is a “front man” like opie and someone pulls his strings. trump’s life for the last 35 years has been scripted.

Donald “The Whore Dog” Trump for pres..right

The fact that Trump looks palatable next to Obama is not reason enough to vote for him. Anyone looks palatable compared to Obama. On his own merits, I would not vote for him to be dog catcher.

By the way, what’s wrong with being ideological? Liberty is an ideal.

@mos 8541: #1

. . . Lol, of course “he’s a pig.” AND, he still would make a better filler of the Oval Office than President Vote Present. How sad is that statement of affairs?

Yes DT does like to brand everything. I own a belt and a cigar cutter, that both have “The Donalds” name on them.

http://articles.nydailynews.com/2009-05-13/local/17925168_1_sleep-health-center-daytime-naps-sound-sleep

And Donald Trump credits only sleeping for three or four hours with staying ahead of his competition. “How does somebody that’s sleeping 12 and 14 hours a day compete with someone that’s sleeping three or four?” he’s said.

http://hubpages.com/hub/Think-Like-A-Billionaire

Donald trump also does not take vacations. Which would be a nice change from a vacation/party addict in the WH.

Trump is all about Trump. We already have a shallow arrogant narcissist with a quasi-criminal past in the White House. Don’t need another one.

I like him rattling Obama’s chain. It’s OK if he does it because he’s a fringe figure. It’s possible he never had any intention of running for President.

@Wm T Sherman: #5

WmT, “Trump is all about Trump.”

As you know, so is most of humanity.

While I find Trump personally irritating, . . . . I’ve always believed that when Bush Sr. sent “Shock and Awe” into Sadam’s face, he should have taken 24 hours to negotiate a 50 year $28 per barrel price from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, thereby breaking OPEC’s back. He didn’t and now sweet crude is returning to the $150 levels we saw a few years ago.

This may break OUR backs, irreparably.

Trump is the only one anywhere who has advocated taking that attitude toward OPEC.

I also believe that he would be a much more effective negotiator in Beijing than anyone we’ve had there in generations. The Democratic approach is pathetic since they don’t understand ANYTHING related to trade and business, and past Republicans have shown an inability to stand firm on critical trade elements.

I think that if he runs, much will depend on who Trump plucks for VP. In this election, that may make all the difference.

Sorry to the purists, but I’m on board. Especially with the OPEC attitude and Iraqi Oil attitude. We saved their ass and put them in power, they have to pay back in below market oil several years or free oil, whatever. They have it to give.

Pragatism would be good. As long as he would take on the Governmental waste and unreal regulations that have grown over the last 30 years. Chop and cut. No more EPA or Dept of Energy. Get the government OUT of telling us how efficient our vehicles must be and no more subsidies to alternative energy. If you can’t make it permanent, then force through sunset provisions, that ALL congressional mandated or regulatory mandates must be reviewed and confirmed every 8 years or something to give us a chance to cut.

How about a 25 year plan where the government ends it’s federal highway money coersion to the states to set policy? And more… but I don’t want to go on for 5000 words.. baseball is on

Donald Trump will More than likely, if nominated, select Marco Rubio as his VP. Securing “street cred” with not just the Tea Party voters, but also with the U.S. Latino voting bloc. While at the same time securing a 16 year “lock” on the WH, and securing Americas future! I am all in if he wins the nomination!

@blogforce one: #8

Agreed. That ticket would be a powerful one. The Spanish speaking community is huge, and Rubio would make a major difference to the electioneering going into the final stretch of the campaign.

To be honest I have never liked DT. However I spent the latter half of my teenage years in california listening to a popular conservative radio show host rail on about opec and chinas trade with the world which left me considering, “what will the next good candidate do about these issues?” I’ve read Donald Trumps books on real estate investing but never thought anyone would take him seriously as a political candidate. I don’t agree with all of his recent statements but some have stood out to me but he has changed my opinion on that, he is not my personal choice for president, I would prefer someone with military experience and DT does not have that. Until the dark horse candidate comes out of the shadows I’m thinking DT is the best we’ve got. We shall see….

@mos 8541: Would you care to elaborate on DTs drug use, I am unable to find a source for that. I know he does not drink, I wouldent base my decision on that but I also don’t because I am health conscious and it makes me ornery and irritable, so I respect that he does not drink. To each their own but I’m not aware of him admitting to drug use, unlike Obama.

BLOGFORCE The Donald with all his negatives will NEVER be POTUS. Marco Rubio will be the next Conserv. POTUS in 2020 with Ivanka Trump as a possible Veep.

Zac Pretty sad you gotta support someone you “never liked”.To quote Bush The Elder: If he’s the best you got you’re in “deep doo doo”

D.Trumps negatives will never add up to 1% of POTUS Obamas negatives! Obama is one and done.

blogforce DT’s had a lot more time and ex wives to help build his negatives. I say a squeaky clean Romney/Rubio ticket only one that can beat BHO/Biden.

Zac…ever live in NYC in the ’80’s…ever work in NYC in the ’80’s..spent 9 years in NYC in the 80’s..you had to be there..Do you have any idea where trump came from..you need to do a little homework,, donny made is mark or the sweat of his father…

@mos 8541: # 15

I dare say that no one who has accomplished much throughout a hard paced life, would have a spotlessly clean closet.

That’s why most people who actually have accomplished something, generally don’t head for Congress or the White House. That is also why, since April of 1789 when George Washington first took office, most the people who have been sent to Washington by the electorate, have been LAWYERS. Another sad fact.

mos8541, I don’t think throwing the mud would do much for being credible on the person,
because what you type is superficial for a person who has made many business deals to achieve his goal in his chosen work, as you must know, It’s a jungle out there, and every steps need to be earn the hard way,
or you stay on the first step all your life,
what ever he does now, he will need the people to get him on top, if he get that far, but he is helping to wake up the need to fight in order to get the top, and the other candidats has better get the message he is giving to them and to all AMERICA.

Rich that may be a true statement. Let me say West was my first choice. Maybe the West will come through…

I totally disagree with some of the comments DT has made regarding Iraq and Afghanistan and they reflect the fact that DT has no experience in military affairs, I would add that I disagree with some of the statements he has made about the US being universally hated; when your the best who cares?! Those word were what made me question him and I think they may be a way to gather votes. I am also a little upset that he seems to think Bush was so horrible.

Aside from all that he has been on the money economically. Like I said we shall see…..

For the record I’ve never been to NY but I want to see ground zero one day.

Rich Wh: I’ll tell you, if anyone in the GOP that ran in 2008 is in the ticket in 2012, ie, Huck or Romney, Obamma will win again. I cannot think of a worse nomination than Romney. It’s Bob Dole all over again.

The guy is competent, able and likeable. He also birthed Romeny-care. Now that wasn’t all his doing, but it’s his and there is no way the Tea Party minded folks will trust him. If the GOP nominated Romney or Huck, watch for a third-party , small-government , Tea Party candidate…. that will split the votes and Obama wins again.

The GOP early caucuses and primaries better not McCain or Dole us again or a 3rd party ticket will rise and fast.

Like him or leave him, Trump will stir the pot and confront Obama on topics which everyone else is too afraid, or not knowledgeable enough, to take on.

There is also ZERO chance that Obama would debate someone like Trump. The left would make claims such as “it’s beneath him,” to protect Obama from embarrassment.

This past week Trump took on the birth certificate existence question. I suspect if he sank his teeth into the Obama Social Security Number (Connecticut #042-68-4425) question, which has yet to be answered satisfactorily, some objectionably fragranced brown stuff would fly.

@mos 8541:

the woman, the drugs, the debt that can never be accounted for. His Condo Project in NYC in the mid ’80′s had 23 different accounting firms make proforma reviews, in order for it to work..Never worked but it was built anyways.. He had to sell his ship in a Scotland under a different name.

Don’t worry, when the press realizes that he is a serious threat to Obama, we will hear about this stuff incessantly.

@Wm T Sherman:

I like him rattling Obama’s chain. It’s OK if he does it because he’s a fringe figure. It’s possible he never had any intention of running for President.

You are completely wrong here. Trump is testing the waters, and he will jump in. This is not a publicity stunt.

RICH wheeler, hey, you have the best you got now, so how does it work for AMERICA

Yippie 21 Romney presents a much better image to the average American voter than Dole ever could.
The election is about the E.C. He holds Mac’s states,wins Mich. where his father was Gov and Ind.. Wins Ohio or Penn. Sen. Rubio secures Fla., Va. and N.C. , N.M. and Nev. Victory. No other combo can pull this off.
Trump couldn’t even beat BHO in N.Y. where he is unpopular.
Marco on ticket should pacify T.P.
Unlikely 3rd party try brings victory to Dems.

Bees Unemployment coming down, albeit slowly,stock market BOOMING.
Obama around 47% and personally liked by majority.Romney/Rubio can beat him

@blogforce one: Interesting call.

One of the most important things a boss/manager/CEO can do is choose his underlings. One of Bush’s greatest strengths were his underlings and Obama’s greatest weakness are those he has chosen to oversee all of these czar and cabinet positions.

One thing that Trump would do would put in many more businessmen under him, and I would not be shocked to see some of his apprentices put in these positions as well.

Trump knows how to run a large organization and he knows who to hire to get things done. That is one of his biggest assets.

And, as I have stated on several occasions, he is not my first choice; but he will be the next president, barring anything super weird happening. He has a better chance against Obama than anyone else, and subsequent polling will bear this out.

@Zac:

Rich that may be a true statement. Let me say West was my first choice. Maybe the West will come through…

Agreed. If I could choose the next prez, it would be West or Hermann Cain, but, unfortunately, that isn’t going to happen. However, I would like to see West as VP (or Rubio, or Bachmann of course).

Trump will make a smart pragmatic choice, which leads me to think one of those 3 will be his VP (he won’t choose Cain, because he and Cain are too similar in background).

One big plus for Trump running for our party is, more people are going to watch the debates than ever; and more people will pay attention to the Republican party than ever before.

If I’m wrong and Trump is not our nominee (although, I have a very hard time imagining myself as every being wrong), he will, at the very least, supercharge our primary.

A great leader hires the best and delegates responsiblity to the best. Obama has had a dismal showing in this respect; his legacy has suffered immeasurably from his poor choices; unfortunately, this is probably just a symptom of his Narcissism. A Narcissist will never have people around them that might outperform them or be more attractive. Not that I am worried about Obama’s appearance or anyone’s appearance in his administration.

Trump has latched onto this birther issue early and like the pitbull he isn’t about to let go when he has a good hold on the throat. Obama is refusing to respond and that may be his undoing. The SS # will probably be the next issue in a long list of attack points that the Donald may grab hold of, time will tell. Is he doing this to be president? Maybe, but maybe he just wants a betterr business climate and to strengthen the Free Market for America.

Trump’s closet hasn’t been locked like Obama’s and if he obtains the nomination, I think America will witness an exposure of dirty Laundry like we have never seen before.

By now only the most simple minded among us believe Obama is the same Obama they voted for in 08. They may still cling to the dream, but they know they aren’t backing the squeaky clean Mr Goodbar of the past. A barrage of innuendo and dirty facts may be enough to dislodge “Obama Clingers” (those who still believe in the Obama Myth). So far, Trump is the only one willing to stand up and use the same tricks that our state run media is so willing and able to use, for that we will forever be in his debt.

I personally like Cain and West. West, unlike Obama is a traditionalist who probably figures he must earn the right to run by coming up through the ranks rather than giving a few speeches and winning over the public like a tent evengelist or like Obama. Cain is an excellent choice as well and unlike Trump, he actually came up through the ranks of business and earned his fortunes through success and not starting out with a massive fortune to make smaller fortunes.

I appreciate Trump’s efforts and I think he certainly could serve in an administration, but I hope a more qualified man like Cain steps up to the plate; however, if Trump gets the nomination I will support him with my limited means.

@Gary Kukis: I agree the VP will be a big decision in trumps case. I like military experience, its a lot to ponder considering we could have a guy leading the greatest military on the planet who has never served.

@skookum: West did a speach where he laid out the conservative values and they were hard to argue with perhaps I should link every one the speach when I have time and get them writen down. That could change politics as we know it.

It is not whom the likely candidates are, including Trump, it is what they bring to the table. Trump is bringing the birth certificate issue (which liberals say was put to rest ages ago) so maybe people will open their eyes and take a look.

‘Birther’ is just another way for the left to ridicule and negate those who want this resolved.

Obama does NOT want it resolved. Every time the issue comes up, the Democrats send out another flyer asking for contributions to help them silence this mean ‘Republican conspiracy’.

Zac, I would think that, considering these times of uncertanty and possible real dangers
for the survival of AMERICA as we have known to be, PROUD, INDEPENDANT, FREE,
ALWAYS READY TO HELP THE OPPRESS IN THE WORLD, HAVING THE BEST TRAINING FOR HER TROUPS , HAVING THE MOST OF THEM SPILL THEIR BLOOD FOR HER FREEDOM,
AMERICA WILL BE AT THIS CRITICAL TIMES CHALLENGE TO RETURNED TO HER GENUINE
SELF ORIGINATED FAR BACK AND PREVAIL TILL THESES LAST TIMES OF TRUE DESTRUCTIONS.
she will see the true beleivers of her largesses come out from sources unheard of before, to put their skill to help her, regain her poise, AMERICA BELONG TO ALL GOOD AMERICANS LOVER, and they will gathered to follow anyone who will be found worthy of the challenge ahead and supported by the PEOPLE
FOR THE PEOPLE,
.WHEN YOU SEE WHAT IS GOING ON MANY ARE TIRED OF TALKING AND WANT TO GET INTO THE TASK OF HELPING THEIR BELOVED AMERICA, and we will observ events never been done before to be part of of it, this is just the beginning, I wont be surprise of any thing, because for the first time
in AMERICA’S LIFE, SHE IS WOUNDED AND DEMAND TO BE HELP BY HER PEOPLE.
AND BY GOD THEY WILL COME OUT TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT

Are F.A Palinites switching to “The Donald”?

Romney wins Iowa and N.H. the race is for Veep.

I’d vote for the Don everytime against any candidate the Left has had in the last 100 years….I’d vote for the Don if old Abe himself were running!

w Do you dislike “W” as much as “The Donald” who became a Dem shortly after “W ” was elected?

It’s rather inevitable that socialist leaning liberals will flow into the streets demanding that the rich be taxed. They’ve also been incited by their wealthy leading demagoguery to vent against “big business.” What’s big business? Who knows, who cares, just tax it, it must have money and anyway it’s making billions by moving jobs offshore. . . . . How screwed is this picture?

The progressive rabble rousing should direct its anger at its own Congress and at Wall Street. Goldman Sachs would be a good start. It has singlehandedly “corrupted” enough heads of corporations to control the game called the Stock Market. It also bought Obama, so Goldman’s in good shape.

The idiots promoting the raising of taxes for anyone making over $200,000 isn’t thinking straight. It makes for good cannon fodder on the incumbent’s reelection trail, but accomplishes nothing positive. When a meatball like Warren Buffett says “tax me, I’m making too much,” that doesn’t mean you run out and tax the folks or businesses making $200,000. These aren’t multi-millionaires. Most of the guys with sizeable fortunes have much of their money held in offshore trusts anyway. Demagoguery won’t touch their cash and can’t, but it sure sells well on the campaign trail.

Ask the boys at Goldman, for example, where their hundreds of millions in “fees” went from a deal like the eBay/Skype deal, . . . just one of thousands of examples. Obama’s a shill who is bought and paid for, and so are most of those sitting in Congress. What proof does the electorate need? Look at how Dodd got taken care of as he slipped out the back door. Anything illegal in what he’s done? Naaah. Nice continuation of his payoff. Everybody does it. Hypocrisy is wonderfully human.

Congress needs to cut the crap and slice government spending. All of it. No sacred cows. Everyone will get hurt.

And BTW, is Anyone paying attention to the fact that the dollar is gradually, continually, and systematically dropping in value as the “easing” continues?

I don’t particularly like Trump, however, what I can analyze of this man, and contact with some who actually know him personally, suggests his ego won’t allow crap to fly. If he makes a commitment, he’ll stick to it. He doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, and stayed away from drugs, . . . seems well under control and disciplined.

The current President? Not so much. Obama turned his first electoral campaign tide by claiming he would get America out of Iraq. How’s that commitment working out?

Romney? He’s a likeable enough guy, and he’s accomplished more in one month than the current President accomplished in the aggregate of his life prior to entering the White House. However, he seems unable to “inspire” more than his kids. He also doesn’t seem terribly creative, or likely to think out of the box. America is in serious need of some creative thinking. Doing the same old same old, . . . will not work.

@ilovebeeswarzone: I have the utmost respect for soldiers, as I am from a long line of them. My grand father on my mothers side was Lithuanian and fought the nazis. I always felt as though that was a great honor to have him in my lineage. I loved to listen to his story, over and over. Even though he was a communist and I was raised a capitalist, I felt a debt of gratitude to him.

My father was also a soldier and served during another time of uncertainty and feel as though it is my personal responsibility to thank everyone who serves their country because of the teachings instilled in me. I suppose I have good blood in me and I’m a young man who would be proud to shed that blood for the cause of freedom.

I’m gonna do my part and more for freedom, for all of mankind. I just hope I can inspire a few more one day to realize that we are hurting and need to do something about it. Time to make history.

Zac, hi, I’m glad you mentioned it, It add up to what I feel who you are, and
I can tell you that you shine like a bright star at the horizon,
those bravest are in your past but they are alive in your core, in your spirit, in your heart,
they will be with you when you will need them, when you will need their know how to do what you have to do,

Very kind Bees. I appreciate that you show optimism, for the free world.

I’m plan to get my papers soon, then I might not post on FA so much.

Zac I’ve seen a lot of people talk a good game,wrap themselves in the flag,then duck the service.Join The Corps if you want any cred from me.

I am not an American yet Rich, therefore I can’t join. You input is appreciated and well meaning, but I have my sights set on that Ranger patch and nobody is going to deter me from my goal.

Zac Go get it and good luck to you.Good for you calling out Dr. J’s rantings on the other post.

Zac, best to you, but keep us inform, we will need your input on things that matters too.
when things happen for you Is in it incredible to look at your future before it come,
you are so lucky to be able to be part of shaping it,
because so many are giving up long before and will not arrive as fast or will never arrive so sadly for them.

Rich I got to speak my mind once in a while.
Semper fi

Bees thanks!

Gotta run!

I’M still wondering the fact that you have to spend millions on a 10 dollars birth certificat,
to hide it and make it disappear from view.

@skookum: I had to double-check this to see if I wrote it or not. 🙂 Sounds like we agree completely.

Trump and Allen West appearing at Tea Party Rally in Boca Raton. Hmmm.

What?! Trump could not pick a better guy for VP but I was wondering if he was that smart. Time will tell… That would make him a shoe-in for the GOP nomination Aqua.

Zac Trump coud pick J.C. HIMSELF and he wouldn’t win the nomination. Actually since he must win nom before adding Veep it doesn’t really matter. Romney/Rubio can beat BHO.

Rich It seems Trump may be trying to hold the GOP nomination hostage, I call that cheating and don’t like it. I don’t know maybe he won’t run at all.

West is my guy! I got to support him.

@Zac:

Really? Go for that Ranger patch! It’s a TOUGH reward to attain, but you can do it! Those guys are elite.

I simply think Trump is a diversion. He’s had them ‘oh-ing’ and ‘ah-ing’ in past elections, and I don’t think this campaign will be any different.

His own failed businesses are a testimonial, however, he certainly would do no worse than those we have already elected: file bankruptcy, sic, cut and run, leave investors hanging…..in other words: 1) the politicians in Washington have already bankrupted us, we just don’t know it yet, though we can smell the fumes….2) they are there to get elected, feed off the Federal trough as long as they can, retire with a pension paying over 60% of their salary at the time they finally got bounced…..and 3) leaving the American taxpayers with their pants down around their ankles, still bent over and waiting for the next in line….
