Matt Taibbi: Obama's Big Sellout

Presidents seemed to be blamed for all the mishaps. Maybe there needs to be some discussion of those in both houses since they also have a say in these matters. Much poor legislation, favorable treatment and pandering for the money can also be traced to them.

Give Obama 40 More Years in Office!

The biggest thing about ACORN is that it has no transparency and one wonders if it ever will. With all the controversy around the organization one would think they would want an investigation to clear the air.

If you read factcheck reasonably carefully a definite bias can be observed. Wait a while and we may be able to decern the truth.

Could There Actually Be Another Reason Why Oil Prices Are Falling?

I agree with hermanbrut if regulation is meaning transparency and only transparency. However, I wonder if the regulators would stop at that point.

10 Dangerous Stocks to Avoid

When considering borrowing one should also look at the probable coming inflation cycle. If that be the case it may be very wise to borrow now since we can assume interest rates will climb considerably in the future. Wouldn't you rather have borrowed now. Maybe a borrowed cash stockpile can become part of a cash cow.

You must look at the reserves to see what each company has and produces. In addition to the above comments look at Met coal prices at well over $100/ton

Three Noteworthy Sectors: Gold, Food and Healthcare

There is much talk about the adding of gold to the GLD etf. This gold should be traceable through the COMEX. I cannot find the transfers nor to my knowledge can anyone else. So that leaves leasing or paper transactions. Do we really want to deal with a fund that infers they have gold when it appear to be an illusion?

There are no provisions for an audit of the gold.

This fund is apparently controlled by the same big bankers in need of a baleout.

And then we have Madoff and others. So my mind wanders to what happens in a crisis.

The IPCc may be very smart people but the integrity of the group is questioned. Integrity is paramount.

Stewart vs. Cramer: Long-Term Asset Allocation Incorrectly Maligned

Come on bluenose. Yes many facits of journalism and the bankers have faults in this mess. You need to remember the real bad guys are those in Washington making some statement to assure their re-election rather than talking in the interest of the public. They have by the largest contribution to this financial mess. With the help of the press they have diverted the attention to others. And the public in general has no blame?

Commodities, Cap and Trade and Natural Gas

Your last statement about less greed and about wanting it now....maybe we should seriously look every other person in the eye and say its time to rein in the congressional people who want to give us everything. You say we need forethought for our grandchildren. Part of that should be some reasonalbe pay as we go. You want to do all these things for them and then leave them a staggering bill?

There is an inference in the authors article that we could shut down coal plants and start natural gas. Do that and figure out how demand drives the price of natural gas in a few years let alone the future reduction in gas reserves.

Bush's Peculiar Wall Street Speech

The comments above forget the balance/counterbalance of the elected system. What were the house and senate finance committees doing all this time? As far as I can see it they almost acknowledged the problems but did nothing until there was a failure. Fannie and Freddie got attention by default. The current crisis was sitting out in the open for quite some time. Any half intelligent person could see the problem coming but it got shelved until it has become near out of hand. Question for those with political statement s is why is your man not also culpable.

Its easy to blame Bush but I think Franks and Waxman are both do nothings until it hits the fan. Then they, along with many others, go into political gear. Its time the country evolved by working on long term policy for economic, energy and other issues to dovetail into good public policy. To of ten there is an emergency of the day or week etc
