President-elect Barack Obama stated Wednesday that “Help is on the way.” He also said that he would have an economic plan ready to go when he takes office on the 20th of January 2009. I sure hope so, because I’m a little tired of losing money in the markets all based on fair. I would be ok with losing money if I made a bad choice, but I not ok with losing money because of other people’s bad choices. He has also announced that former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker will head a new White House panel to help create jobs. I have no idea if Volcker will be able to bring stability to the financial system. I guess will just have to wait and see what he has up his sleeves. The thing that sucks is that we still have about 2 months to see these changes in full swing when we need these changes now. We do only have one President at a time, and we’ll have to deal with President Bush until then.

It seems that President-elect Barack Obama is using President Clinton’s people. And you what, it’s really not a bad idea if you ask me. I have always said that Bill Clinton did a great job for the United States. He may have done a lot things wrong, you know what I’m talking about, but he did a lot things good too. When he left office he had America on course of getting out of debt completely. And then President Bush came into office and everything went straight down hill. Granted America did come under attack and we lost a lot of American lives. And the actions that President Bush took I feel where the right one’s. But he’s made so many bad choices that it will make for a story for another day. Anyway, the people that Barack Obama is bringing together are a great thing. These people will definitely make up where Barack Obama falls short on. I’m a firm believer in surround yourself with good people and let them do their job. And if that’s what Barack Obama does everything will turn out all right for America again.

The warning is out for all Americans and lawmakers to get this $700 billion rescue plan approved. Bush stated in his address to the nation that if this bill isn’t passed American people would lose their retirement savings, rising foreclosures, lost jobs and closed businesses. Bush also stated “Our entire economy is in danger,” and he’s 100 percent right. I believe him and his top advisers that this bill is needed. I just don’t agree with putting our money on the line. But then again, our money is already on the line with huge loses if we do nothing. I said this in the past and will say it again; all CEO’s of these companies need to go to jail. They hid their mistakes and cooked the books to make their companies look good. And for that, they should pay. I will end with this, pass the bill now Congress, real Americans are getting hurt in the mess.
