Industry: The Obama administraion has gone started down the path of expanded governemnt control, by nationalising the banking industry (or aspirations to do so).
(Admin takes control of GM and Chrysler and won't let banks pay back their tarp $$$.......)
Commerce:......Tim Geithner....pposition of ree rade Agreeemtns....(enough said on that). President Obama piles up more debt then all previous presidents COMBINED (well......there should probably be a triple check on that) Obama advisor Peter Orsak did not belevie that infrastructure = stimulus..........remember when Obama opposed earmarks...........
Security............Obama makes a new friend, Chaves. Iran moves forward with nuclear agedna...........Iranians attacked Iraq, first such 2003. The Mexian boarder..............oh brother....Napolitano denied for about a month that anything was happening. CIA memo release gives more reaons to wage jihad....putting more American lives in danger (not just American, actually). |

Which is why his weapon of choice was to close all American ports to imports and exports. Talk about government intervention into the private sector! |

No shit. Jefferson, except for the Louisiana Purchase, which thankfully he was hypocritical enough to his political philosophies to go ahead with (this is the guy who didn't want the Constitution ratified), was one of the worst Presidents we've ever had. |

That's not quite accurate. He did support ratification after Madison cajoled him into it. I wouldn't go so far as to say he was a bad president, it's just that his principles and his actions were so seldom in synch. So much so that it's hard to tell what his priciples were. (Actions speak louder than words.) |
