Wall Street is nothing but a shell game…a con job designed to make rich people richer. Just another form of BIG BROTHER….“give us your money…we know better what to do with it than you do” BS! We’ve seen what they did with mortgages, now they want pensions. Check this out!
“Obama has never shown proper regard for a campaign she (Hillary) believes was as historic an achievement as his,” according to an article in Time. It is a zero sum game to make the comparison between overcoming American racism vs. sexism. Just the same, here’s some perspective. There are about twice as many females as blacks serving in Congress.. We have had 29 female governors and only two black governors. Of course we had Ferraro run for VP. How many women who “didn’t know their place” were lynched by the Klan?

This is a cautionary tale about how journalism sometimes gets practiced in contemporary America.
A few weeks ago, a Wall Street Journal reporter named Amy Chozick got a bright idea for a news story: In a nation where according to our public health authorities nearly two-thirds of the adult population is too fat, is Barack Obama too skinny to be elected president?
On his nightly MSNBC talk show called "Hardball," host Chris Matthews yaks incessantly about all sorts of things political.
But when asked if he might run in 2010 as the Democratic challenger to longtime Republican Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia-area native hasn’t had much to say.
I have always dreamed of competing in the Olympic Games. Sadly, as with so many who have dared to dream of glory, the only thing that held me back was lack of athletic talent.
