True, but we'll be dealing with what he did in office for years to come and I don't want anyone to forget his part in it.
Now we need to remove Ron Paul.
Sounds good to me...
FWIW, Clinton is gone, too.
I notice no one is letting that stop them from blaming him for his part in this fiasco.
Oh, yeah. Where does it end?
Amen, FRiend!
Dick Morris on Greta
But my ultimate demon in all this is the Federal Reserve Central Bank because a central bank by definition has no loyalty to it's home country ( as we can witness today ) but only to expanding their fiat money and power far and wide. When banks where depository institutions that lent out their depositors money they were very careful with who they were lending to and giving credit cards to. But today the Fed and it's spider network of banks just create the money and charge usurious interest. And could care less if they default because the US taxpayer will bail them out.This IMHO is the root of the problem because the central bank has bought and sold our government with unlimited fiat currency.........as we see today INTO THE TRILLIONS!
Say ol’ Dan you’re a mean ol’ man,
when ya gonna come for supper?
With the exception of perhaps 1% of Congress they’re all involved with this deception. I don’t hang out at Free Republic because I like Republicans; but rather because I love American, Americans, and most Freepers.
I have truly spent much time reading different sources and thinking about this and I am convinced. There is only one way to save America.
It involves starting all over again and learning from our mistakes.
1. Never trust a socialist, democrat, or any politician
2. Just when you think you have won they will come at you and at the country from within
3. Where we are now has never been a political game, it is nothing less than a life and death struggle between two highly motivated belief systems.
4. Until we conquer greed, capitalism will be at a disadvantage to us as our opponents will always try to claim the high ground vis ‘a vis the lies of “equality”,
“justice”, “fairness for all”, “multiculturalism, etc., etc., etc.
5. There many good, but altruistic people, willing to play the role of useful idiots for our opponents.
6. Socialists and their ilk are like any plague, whether it be ‘Rats or anthing begotten of filth - they have one state in which they are harmless - dead.
7. 6 (six) means exactly what it says, dead; and with no compunctions
In 2010 AND 2012, Republicans will run candidates who can NOT be blamed, in any way, for the financial mess.
Then all the lib rats will be in BIG trouble!
Yes, Morris is right. The FSB effectively eliminates US Sovereignty. But if you think about this carefully; the tool and mechanism for this power over us is the fiat currency. Eliminate and destroy the worlds central banks and the FSB is dead. So a return to sound money should be our number one priority.
Edmund Burke once said that the REVENUE of the State IS THE STATE....so the revenue of the FED and the other central banks IS THEIR ONLY POWER....because they control it's production....cut that off by having Gold and Silver return as our money , as our Founders wished, and we kill the beast.
Hmmmmm .. ?? I thought it was 435 not 545 ..??
Well .. maybe it’s time they did!!

Clinton’s policy of the Justice Department suing banks to lend to the unqualified has not ended.
Not really. Pointing the finger backwards includes a lot of the RINO's that went along with Bush's bassackwards plans. Some of them are still in office.
BINGO!!! That's exactly what I think is going on too - a destruction of the middle class.
You cannot have tyranny until you get rid of the middle class. Tyranny consists of only the workers and the rulers. And .. I guess we already know what class the democrats want to be in.
President Obama has just gave China and Russia to have a said in our banking
Morris: Obama a ‘Disaster’ at the G20 Summit

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Well, it’s over. The G-20 summit in London is now in the history books. The leaders pledged to pump $1.1 trillion into the International Monetary Fund and created an international body to fight (ph) problems in the global economy. So now what? Who supplies the $1.1 trillion for the loans? And who makes up the international body to flag the problems in the global economy?
Joining us live is Dick Morris. And don’t forget, you can sign up at Dickmorris.com to get all of Dick’s columns e-mailed to you free.
All right, Dick, before we get to the actual G summit, the president described — and I suppose in a little cavalier, flip way — he described his performance, or his success or — I guess performance is a better word — as “OK.” Do you give him a higher grade than he gives himself is OK? I think he’s being — having a little fun with it. But what do you think?
DICK MORRIS, DICKMORRIS.COM: Well, it depends on what you want to achieve. I think it was a disaster, but it’s probably a disaster he likes. Literally from April 2nd of this year — that is, today — it’s a whole new world of financial regulation in which, essentially, all of the U.S. regulatory bodies and all U.S. companies are put under international regulation, international supervision. It really amounts to a global economic government.
Let me read you from the communique, Greta. “We agree to a framework of internationally agreed upon high standards. We will set up a financial stability board with a strengthened mandate to extend regulation and oversight to all systemically important financial institutions, instruments and markets” — including hedge funds, all — anything that they decide is important to the system — “to endorse and implement tough new principles on paying (ph) compensation and to support sustainable compensation schemes and the corporate social responsibility of all firms.”
Just when Obama is accused of socialism, he’s essentially creating world economic governance. This means that the FSB, this newly created board, Financial Stability Board, patterned on the Financial Stability Forum that now exists, headed by an Italian banker, populated largely by the European bank executives, will make the decisions on what standards our own SEC and Federal Reserve board should apply to all firms in the United States of any significant size about executive compensation, market activities, and a whole range of issues that used to be under free enterprise reserved for private decision making.

This is an unbelievably radical document! This trivializes everything Obama’s done until now!
VAN SUSTEREN: All right, the Financial Stability Board that you’re speaking of — two questions. Who makes up this board? Actually, it’s three. Who makes up the board? Who decides who makes up the board? And is the board almost a sort of a — an intellectual exercise, in the sense hat it makes reference to what people — what countries should do, or is it — or is it mandatory?
MORRIS: Well, it’s made up the central bankers of the G-20 states. And one of the ironies and things about this is the United States has about 60 percent of the assets of the G-20 — no, I’m sorry, about 40 percent of the assets of the GDP of the entire G-20, and yet we have one vote and Argentina has one vote.
But the central bankers make this up. They essentially are more or less a self-perpetuating oligarchy. They’re not really chosen by anybody. I suppose they’re appointed by their prime ministers and presidents, but that’s a lengthy and arm’s length process.
And as to whether their rules will be advisory or mandatory, it’ll be up to them. Clearly, this communique indicates that they want agreed upon high standards, which means uniformity. And they presumably will have the power to compel this through their member states.
You know, I’ve had a long experience in dealing with the European Union, and this is how they operate. All the focus was on how much will there be in the stimulus package, $1.1 trillion. And did Obama win? Did Sarkozy win? And in the meantime, they slip this in under the radar, which is absolutely creating an international economic union.
VAN SUSTEREN: Did anybody oppose it, any country say, Look, this is a lousy idea?
• Watch Greta’s interview with Dick Morris
MORRIS: Yes, Obama. This was so unbelievable. Obama was the one pressing for less regulation and more spending. And he had to convince the Europeans. But eventually — but Obama himself is a socialist, I believe, and he had no problem really with this.
This truly creates a global economic system. From now on, don’t look to Washington for the rule making, look to Brussels.
VAN SUSTEREN: All right, the $1.1 trillion loan for the IMF, who pays that $1.1 trillion? I mean, I know that we’re quite a generous nation.
MORRIS: I think we pay.
VAN SUSTEREN: We contribute a lot. But I’m trying to figure out how much we’re — you know, we’re putting into the kitty.
MORRIS: I forget the exact number. I think we pay 250 and the other countries chip in the rest. But the point is that the European — the IMF, the International Monetary Fund, and the FSF, the Financial Stability Forum, are basically European operations. They’re run by Europe. The World Bank is run by the United States.
And at Bretton Woods, when they set this up, they sort of said Europe has the IMF and the United States has the World Bank. And what that means, really, is that European socialists are going to be making the regulatory rules concerning compensation for all, all systemically important U.S. firms. All!
VAN SUSTEREN: And we got to go. We got to go, Dick. Thank you.
