Just because George Bush and former president Dick cheney can start two wars, does not mean one c in c can end them like stopping a car. Too much financial invested interest by politicians.

It gets even better! The European Central Bank is now considering negative bank deposit rates, wherein you lock in a guaranteed and perpetual (ever increasing) loss on your regular bank held savings account. I'm predicting that the world will think of this as a great idea. I'm certain this idea will spread to the USA. I'm also certain there will be no runs on the banks if they establish this. We are becoming ignorant dumbed down sheeple and this is just one means to prove it. I think they should name them "Shear Savings Accounts".

If that's the case, what was the reason to vote for him in the first place? I thought we we going to get "Change" and stuff?

The public dialog is not based in reality. I think this guy has a more accurate picture of our situation.
