| | If you could replace Obama which former president will you choose? | | Obama not a good leader and he never says what he promises in his speeches such as cutting taxes. In the G20 summit he was embarissing. Same with our precious president, Bush. If you could dig back in history and select a former even if he's already dead, who would it be? I wouldn't select a president who is in the 20th century because they have experinces in the real world. So probably Franklin D. Roosevelt he stopped the Great Depression in the 1930's. If he was president in 2009 he would likely stop this fincial crisis. | |
| | did you know these? | | 1. Fear of Friday the 13th - one of the most popular myths in science - is called paraskavedekatriaphobia as well as friggatriskaidekaphobia. Triskaidekaphobia is fear of the number 13.2. Many hospitals have no room 13, while some tall buildings skip the 13th floor and some airline terminals omit Gate 13.3. President Franklin D. Roosevelt would not travel on the 13th day of any month and would never host 13 guests at a meal. Napoleon and President Herbert Hoover were also triskaidekaphobic, with an abnormal fear of the number 13.4. Mark Twain once was the 13th guest at a dinner party. A friend warned him not to go. "It was bad luck," Twain later told the friend. "They only had food for 12." Superstitious diners in Paris can hire a quatorzieme, or professional 14th guest.5. The number 13 suffers from its position after 12, according to numerologists who consider the latter to be a complete number - 12 months in a year, 12 signs of the zodiac, 12 gods of Olympus, 12 labors of Hercules, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 apostles of Jesus, 12 days of Christmas and 12 eggs in a dozen. | |
| | Should we just say "NO" to this pork-riddled, SPENDING/Stimulus Package? | | Hello All,Isn't this Obama Spending/Stimulus Plan crafted after the great Franklin Delano Roosevelt "New Deal" Spending/Stimulus Plan? Well, what would you say if you were told the following by Franklin D. Roosevelt's own Treasury Secretary?[b][i]"We have tried spending money.[u]We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work[/u]. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong ... somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat.[u]We have never made good on our promises[/u] ...[u]I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started ... And an enormous debt to boot[/u]!"[/i][/b]

| | Stop blaming the president! | | I am pretty tired of hearing people blame the president (namely Bush in this case) for all the troubles of the world. Anyone who had taken even the slightest little bit of government in high school should know that the president has very little power to influence the things that they blame him for. For example, the big fad nowadays is to blame Bush for the bad economy. Not only is that dumb from a governmental standpoint, but it is also dumb from an economic standpoint. First of all, Bush and every other president does not hold the purse strings in any way, shape, or form. He has absolutely no control over government money, how it is spent, or anything of the sort. I suppose he could do for the budget what Clinton did and refuse to approve it until it meets his standards, but then he would just get criticized for halting the progress of politics or something retarded like that.Second of all, let us just think back to the Great Depression for a moment here. One of our nations greatest presidents in a lot of people's opinion, Franklin D. Roosevelt, tried hundreds of different things to try to combat and reverse the Depression. The fact of the matter was, however, that the most... | |

| | Will we ever learn? | | In the past few months I have done a lot of reading and talking to people about the "Great Depression" as most people like to call it. This has also included the "roaring 20's" which caused the depression and the 1940's which brought us out of the depression. I lived through the 1940's so I remember it well. In the past 10 years we have done exactly what people did in the 1920's that caused the depression. They were living fast and spending every cent they could beg, borrow or steal. Hoover became President at the beginning of the depression. Here is a quote from one article. "In 1928 Hoover was nominated by the Republicans for the Presidency. Aided by the prosperity which had accompanied eight years of Republican Administration he won a landslide victory". End of quote. The depression took Hoover by surprise. In trying to get out of the depression Hoover made the same mistakes that Bush is making now and it did not work.Here is another quote from the same article. "Hoover created the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to make loans to banks, farm organizations, and state and local governments. He hoped that such money would stimulate the economy and (trickle down) to... | |
