Where is the trust what happened to it Where is the common sense in folks today
Surprised maybe not be a strong enough word to describe my feelings about this topic. But for the sense of being polite and constructive, lets leave it be for now.
Some very intelligent people seem to believe that Mr. Obama in his approximately 50 days of office has created the disastrous financial situation that exists not only in the USA but in the world. Go figure that!
Living here in Northern Europe some 30% around the world from the USA, we are devastated by the current economics and that happened late last year. Now how could the new US President had such an effect on our economy even before he became President?
Where is the common sense and the ability to apply logic in these folks thinking?
Quoting from an email from one of these folks "I don't know how much attention you pay to the U.S. stock market and conditions in general here but the "change" you and many others wanted is here and it's rapidly driving our country right into the ground."
Now lets attempt to apply some logic. The current economic collapse has roots some where in the policies from several past presidents. Maybe in the first Bush Whitehouse and perhaps fueled by President Clinton's policies as well.
Not being smart enough and schooled in all this high finance; I can't be sure exactly where it started but common sense tells us that this level of problem didn't happen overnight.
Secondly, if the previous power base led by George W. Bush was so clever, how come they didn't ride their white horse into the scene last October and announce THE PLAN, win the elections and be the heroes today.
Perhaps the common sense answer is that they didn't know what to do either!
So again I ask my question???
Why do some people today blame now President Obama for this mess?

Perhpas this current mess was another result of GREED? The type of Greed which brought down the Soviet Union and other powerful governments before.
Just look at Mr. Madoff, what else can you call his behaviour? It must have been GREED!
So what is the better plan?
President Obama and his team have proposed a long list of things to do. Is it all the right stuff? I certainly don't have the ability to know and I am sure they don't know it all either.
But I quote again form this email recently received "All we hear is doom and gloom. The annointed Messiah speaks on TV daily telling us how bad it is and insisting his democrat congress quickly pass legislation spending billions of dollars. The banks are on their way to being nationalized and the government owns a substantial stake in the auto industry's big three among other businesses. "
It is BAD ! common sense tell us its bad.
So what to say, its all OK folks, take two Aspirin and go to be and you will feel better tomorrow?
Where is the trust, what happened to it? Where is the common sense in folks today?
This is the time to find common ground, time to band together with a team spririt of "Yes We Can" and find a way to dig ourselves out of this mess. All this negative thinking will do nothing more than dig a deeper hole as our economic grave.

Its really a Lipstick Economy Out There
When the Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going
Now is not the time to cry over your spilled milk or your financial problems. Now is the time to get tough and figure out how to make some sweet tasting lemonade from all the lemons in your bag.
Share your ideas here, please, we would love to learn from you.

Why do people believe Obamas Ideas are Socialism
This is in response to a comment posted on a CBS NEWS site today.
The comments was:
Democrats, Liberals, and the mainstream media continue to do all in their power to squash and silence dissent, and push for a Socialist, one-party system to take over America, led by the populist dictator, Barack Obama.
Death to Liberalism!

My response is:
Question to CBSisPravda1. Have you ever lived in Russia? Have you ever visited the ex soviet block?
Do you have a clue what socialism is really like?
Do you have a clue what leadership is all about?
There is a vast difference between leading a county in decline back to health vs Socialism!
If the others in the USA government were so great, how come they did''t stop this problem?
OK, maybe its been in the making for years with some Democrat help; but, the GREED welcomed by the last 8 years sure added fuel to the fire!
Open your minds Americans, the Master Reset Button to your world as you knew it has been pushed.
The new world that you will come to know will be vastly different.
Come out of your shell Americans and read history and see what the years after 1945 were like.
Its time to stop the GREED and get back to basics of holding people accountable for their actions.
I don''t believe that is the definition of socialism!
Regards, from an American living in Eastern Europe seeing life on the other side first hand.

Has mankind lost its way
Aren't the daily new Headlines depressing these days?
One after another, job loss, profit declines, bad food recalls, scams, suicides; it goes on and on!
Are you like me beginning to find a common thread through all these or at least the majority of these headlines?
I am passed being shocked and dismayed.
Anyone have any ideas or thoughts on this?
Whats happening?
Is it GREED? - or stupidity - or both perhaps?
Anyone have any suggestions on what or how we change the course of this supertanker to destruction?
What is it going to take before people wake up an see the root cause of the problem?
I know, I have lots of questions and not many ideas or answers.
But, I believe it is time for all of us to wake up and "get back to the basics".
Get back to those Saturday afternoon chats with your grandmother or Uncle we had when we were small children and think about the lessons of treating others with respect and not to be too greedy along the path of life.
The "Master Reset Button" of life as we know it is now being pushed and we have the opportunity to come back a better person, and a better world.

Time for Healing Time for Change
Yes We Can - by working smarter - not the same old ways cause permanent change to how America responds to the issues. Its time for something different as the past 20 years or so has been full of too many special interests and GREED has been the trademark.
Its time for all of us to do our part, share and work together to change how we think; how we manage; and how we lead.
I promise to do my part. How about you?
