So in less than a week now, the US will have a new president. How does everyone think it'll go for him? FDR remake? Or Hoover?

Not just on the economy, but what about everyone else? Think the world's opinion will improve?

All in all, are you optimistic or no and why?

(Assume he's not assassinated.)

[Aaron]

I think he'll try hard until he becomes Washingtonized. I voted for him to give him a chance to prove himself. The ball's in his court.

[Charlie]

I'm not really sure, but he seems like he'll do a good job. He can't be any worse then Bush

Let's see what needs to be done...

End American Torture

Abandon Iraq, bring our troops home and stop spending trillions of dollars on another country when we're 50 trillion in debt.

UN-DEREGULATE the damn financial industry. Simple solution would have prevented the entire economic collapse, and gas would never have risen near $4.00 a gallon.

Seize the assets of everyone responsible for screwing the economy. They messed it up getting rich, they need to be held to pay for it.

No company should be too big to fail. Break them up. Capitalism can't work with monopolies or oligopolies, period.

At least put the Bush administration on trial. Show us that there is justice, even if it means pissing off the political elite.

LEGALIZE MARIJUANA or BAN ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO. The second option is retarded, but at least it would be consistent with the marijuana policy. Legalizing it would empty our overcapacity prisons of people who really don't need to be in there. Not only would we stop wasting billions of dollars a year, but we have a million/billion dollar industry that we can now tax to pay off the national debt!

Abandon Israel. Being their ally has been the single worst decision that America has ever made. They never deserved that land. They are now a fascist state that is committing genocide and using chemical warfare against civilians (many of which are children). They are racists, prohibiting Arabs from voting. And by siding with the America has pissed off just about every other country in the middle east. I bet that contributes to terrorism...

Finally, let gays get married. If you are against this, then I consider you no different than a racist that is against blacks pooping on white toilets. History will consider you no different, I guarantee it.


And none of this crap will happen, because Americans are retarded.

Let's see what needs to be done...

End American Torture (Won't happen)

Abandon Iraq, bring our troops home and stop spending trillions of dollars on another country when we're 50 trillion in debt. We're not spending that much in iraq, nor are we losing many troops, but damn we're {expletive hax0rd by Cspace}ting things up over there.

UN-DEREGULATE the damn financial industry. Simple solution would have prevented the entire economic collapse, and gas would never have risen near $4.00 a gallon. $4 isn't good. but gasoline being at $1.50 isn't good either.

Seize the assets of everyone responsible for screwing the economy. They messed it up getting rich, they need to be held to pay for it. amen

No company should be too big to fail. Break them up. Capitalism can't work with monopolies or oligopolies, period. amen again

At least put the Bush administration on trial. Show us that there is justice, even if it means pissing off the political elite. It won't happen and would only serve to cause further national embarrassment.

LEGALIZE MARIJUANA or BAN ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO. The second option is retarded, but at least it would be consistent with the marijuana policy. Legalizing it would empty our overcapacity prisons of people who really don't need to be in there. Not only would we stop wasting billions of dollars a year, but we have a million/billion dollar industry that we can now tax to pay off the national debt! Hell, we could use the combined money saved from ending the "war on drugs" and made off legalizing hemp to pay for *gasp* decent education.

Abandon Israel. Being their ally has been the single worst decision that America has ever made. They never deserved that land. They are now a fascist state that is committing genocide and using chemical warfare against civilians (many of which are children). They are racists, prohibiting Arabs from voting. And by siding with the America has pissed off just about every other country in the middle east. I bet that contributes to terrorism... I've never cared one way or the other about Israel.

Finally, let gays get married. If you are against this, then I consider you no different than a racist that is against blacks pooping on white toilets. History will consider you no different, I guarantee it. I'm against blacks pooping on a white toilet. Learn to properly use a toilet or gtfo.


And none of this crap will happen, because Americans are retarded.

I'm not breaking his post up. Read the red text.

Sorry. Hundreds of billions. We're not yet in the trillions yet, according to three sources I randomly googled.

Keith Olbermann just did a nice segment on the "Bush legacy" today, despite how angry it is it pretty much sums the Bush years:
