If you believe in the blogs that suit you, it is up to you. The same stands for me. One can not judge for others and therefore, let us keep our beliefs to ourselves. Leave the future to the concerned. Mario responds: Dear MD, You can believe whatever you like. You are entitled to your own opinions but not to your own facts. I try to deal in facts and logical analysis and quote qualified and respectable journalists and analysts who know what they are talking about based on what I believe are the principles and practices that made America the economic engine that it has been, which Obama is now trying to destroy, in my never humble opinion. Here is another example: Dick Morris was one of President Bill Clinton's closest political advisors and helped Clinton fool people and keep his poll numbers high while also helping him survive most of his personal pecadilloes. He was thus aware of everything that went on in the Clinton administration. He has since turned against the Democrats because he feels they are soft on national defense, naive on terrorism and radical Islam, make false moral equivalences between Israel and the radical Arabs, and have been co-opted by the far left wing and financiers behind the scenes like George Soros on domestic policy issues. Here is Morris' analysis of President Obama's performance so far, which provides a different perspective from a Washington insider than the tingly feelings that some Goanetters feel when they hear the Messi.., ...er, President Obama read from his teleprompter, without ever looking at his audience. http://www.dickmorris.com/blog/2009/03/16/boggled-bam-can-president-get-job-done/#more-559 Excerpt: It was Clinton-era Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros who urged Fannie Mae to spend 42 percent of its money buying mortgages for lower-income people and who suggested that they no longer require down payments. And it was his successor, Andrew Cuomo, who upped the ante to 50 percent of the Fannie Mae portfolio. After Democrats inveigled people to buy homes they could not afford, how can they justify passing a plan that excludes them from assistance? It appears that Obama is at sea when it comes to financial policy, economic-recovery planning and credit-rescue efforts. We’re stuck not only with a socialist but seemingly an incompetent one.
