WHAT OBAMA SHOULD BE SAYING RIGHT NOW!




This is what Obama should be saying towards the end of the campaign:

This economic crisis we are in has the whole nation as well as the world, on pins and needles; people are scared as hell.

People are wondering, how in the hell did we get into this mess; how did we allow ourselves to be blind-sided this way. Don’t we have smart people in Washington looking out for our welfare? Actually, you don’t and have not had someone watching out for you for some time; the Republicans fell asleep at the switch.

John McCain is attacking me as a socialist, as a big spender, as a wealth re-distributor; name calling from someone whose economic modus operandi allowed the mess we are in right now, happen.

Senator McCain cannot be telling voters that he will change things in Washington when he has been supporting all things Washington and all things Republican for years and years; is he saying he will dismantle what he has built?

What I will do for the nation and for the world is I will clean-up Wall Street and make sure it never causes such financial calamity ever again.

Wall Street was allowed to run wild. Alan Greenspan, the former Fed Chairman, testified in Congress that he erred in thinking that Wall Street would police itself. He assumed institutions there would not engage in practices that could hurt not only their shareholders but the national economy and even the global economy. He now realizes he was wrong to make such assumptions – obviously we are seeing the results of his assumptions.

Alan Greenspan and the Republicans that supported him failed us all and that is why I am telling you today that I will not fail you. There will be a new sheriff in town that will clean and sweep Wall Street from one end to the other.

Reading the media, you would think that all this was the fault of people making wrong –headed decisions about buying homes. Let me tell you that people who took out loans they could not afford probably should have known better but for highly paid, Wall Street whiz kids that invented creative but deadly games based on those bad loans, knew what they were doing was not financially sound but their greed and desire for immediate financial gains made them close their eyes to the risks involved.

Republican Washington and that includes Senator McCain, fed the greed on Wall Street by ignoring the need for regulation; things are going so well, why disrupt the party.

I promise you, that I will use all means at my disposal, to mend our economy as soon as possible and I will also take steps to prevent a recurrence of the situation we have now.

Senator McCain criticizes my tax plan and says that his plan would mean fewer taxes for all. Let me tell you that our immediate problem is not who will pay more or less tax, our immediate problem is putting our economy back together again and I maintain that I am better prepared to do that then someone who was part of the problem in the first place.
I am the new sheriff and I will bring law and order back into our economy!
