  1. I was so glad to see this article. It gave me hope that someone came forward to print this. I just hope that this catches on and more of this information makes it through the big media outlets on a regular basis. I believe Obama has done an amazing job and feel for him because he has been blasted by both sides.

  2. This is such a disappointing turn of events and I’m so glad to see someone point it out. In the long run though, I think Obama will be seen as one of the great presidents.

    I do hate to be a harbinger of doom and gloom, but the practices of the Republican party really are threating to force the US into decline. If they continue to stonewall reform the other countries will take action to protect their own economies from the US’s influence. If that happens America’s time as the economic leaders of the world will be over.

    Whether or not they can reform themselves in time, I think Obama will be remembered as the one who stood up against this corruption and at least tried to save his country. Whatever ever happens though, things alway seem to work out in the long run, hopefully these trials will be a lesson for us all in the future.
