Sigh, wish there was a Republican Club in town.

Sigh, I wish that there was someone running that actually could fix the mess that the country is in when they get elected.  I think it is going to be a long hard ride for 80% of all Americans.  Gridlock, and out of control spending... borrowing trillions of dollars from China,  funding war on Iraq  have robbed citizens of a bright future for many years.  I'm an Independent... wish Bloomberg would have ran

Hell, I wish there was a Democrat in the race.  Obama, winning the nomination as a Democrat, seems hellbent on running AS a Republican.  Just like Bill Clinton, the best Republican the Democrats ever ran.  How is any Democratic politician or position these days different from Reagan or Bush 1?  And all Republicans are running close to Attila the Hun territory, having been so successful for Bush 2, I guess. 
 

I'm with you 3000ftup.  Denial in DC is massively larger than the one in Africa.  Sorry, couldn't resist that one...

Hating your dollars? Wishing the exchange rate would go south just a bit more?

Barack and the Buck
August 8, 2008; Page A14
The underreported economic news of the week is that Barack Obama favors a stronger dollar. Even better, he thinks a stronger greenback would help to reduce oil prices.
That at least is what the Democratic Presidential candidate told a town hall forum in Parma, Ohio, on Tuesday. "If we had a strengthening of the dollar, that would help" reduce fuel costs, he said, according to a Reuters dispatch ignored by most of the media.
This ought to be a bigger story. In linking the dollar to oil prices, Mr. Obama is pointedly at odds with the Bush Administration and Federal Reserve, both of which blame high commodity prices on supply and demand, despite falling demand due to slower global growth. Fed officials -- in particular, Vice Chairman Donald Kohn -- have expressly rejected any strong link between the dollar's collapse and the oil price surge since last August.
This conveniently absolves the Fed and Bush Treasury of responsibility for the consequences of what has been their destructive and all but explicit dollar devaluation strategy. If the Illinois Senator rejects greenback debasement, that's the best news to date about Obamanomics.
Reuters also quoted Mr. Obama as saying "The way to strengthen the dollar is for us to get our economy back in shape." On that point, he has it backward: Strengthening the dollar would help the economy -- by making the U.S. a destination for capital, and especially by reducing the inflation in food and energy prices that has pounded the American middle class. Those price hikes may yet tilt the economy into a recession it could otherwise avoid.
We don't know who is whispering in Mr. Obama's ear about the dollar, but he's on to a rich political vein. Americans know instinctively that something is wrong when the Canadian loonie is worth more than the greenback. Over to you, John McCain.
