“On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord. On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.” …I am Optimistic…. Let us all begin anew with dignity for all are brothers and sisters,” One Nation Under God with Liberty and Justice for All…” May this day bring Joy to everyone…Thank You wOw for posting the speech, I had missed while at the Docs, no radio reception in lead lined buildings! So I came right to wOw when I got home…So Glad I did…

Patty, Thank you for bring up the Reagan Gold Standard. That is a huge player in this mess. Not having our currency equal to Fort Knox. Imaginary play monies. Something Thomas Jefferson and Payne wrote extensively about being the most dangerous thing that could happen to our nation, would be to have the currency not equal to our real treasury.( They had a taste of the pit falls during the Revolutionary War, when they just keep printing money, when we had none) I have been working on a post for the Obama site in regards to re issue. I can Hope it will happen….

Hello Georgia, So nice to see your Heart! Thank You. I am still learning this new language… I hope your New Year is full of Great Joys.

“This is what this country is about…” I like the sentiment of this quote . I am also happy for the excitement these people have about their participation. I do however hope that 1.5 million is put towards seeds of uplifting lives. That could sure feed,clothes , housing…education, job training….Yet Celebration can energize ..May their Joy Be Great and inspiring….

So you are saying He is a Politician!!! So why does the Media keep it up?

Good Morning Marjorie, I feel kinda of dumb, what does POV stand for? And other than that we are in total agreement with this issue or issues!!!

We need to re issue our currency! For many reasons, but in the cases of all these known and yet to surface, their off shore accounts and all the illegal monies would have to come forth or be unusable, what sweet justice this would be.

Ireally know very little about Patterson. I just think it is pointless for The Media to keep bringing this up, especially when he just keeps telling them the same thing over and over.

It is the Pelosi’s attitude that makes me say give it a rest. I just want her to concentrate on issues at hand., especially right now. I am sure people working behind the scene looking at what laws have been loosely changed, and broken. Pelosi is not one of them. I would personally like to see her address her own states problems and The issues that are so pressing, The Wars and our economy. To allow This New Administration to Lead…. To bring constructive ideas and solutions to the task of taking care of now, as a State Rep and then, Speaker Of The House, these seem to be what she should be addressing.I would think this is The Attorney Generals job…

Good Morning Frank, I think as the New Administration as a Catharsis. Their is always time to revisit the past, but what We need now are Jobs and forthcoming solutions to what is happening now….

Good Morning DeBúrca, I agree that at some point in time this will have to be revisited. It should have been done over the last 8 yrs. That it was not is Milk Spillede. Now we need to focus on What is going on Now. Priorities!!! Pelosi, however seems to be axe grinding. I do feel the need not to have History rewritten, once again, as it has been so many times before. History has a very interesting way of changing throughout time; It can not be seen as Truth.

PONZI that is what our Economic situation is..One Big umbrella of PONZI…All this article shows me is more of what the Pit falls of an economy based on Credit Debt creates and how absurd it was for all of the Acts of Deregulation have been. Jailed Martha Stewart and gave Wallstreet to known Crooks…With big Golden Parachutes…

Gov. Patterson said that he would not name this person until the time that once again He is restating and restating. So why keep asking him? an not blame Patterson for others questioning him over and over. So this all seems like wasted energy to me.

Pelosi, give it a rest! Let us move forward….Their are problems to be solved now, that are far more important than the need to get Bush. Really put the effort into what going on now…You have lost so much of my respect these last five months when it comes to your voting and the direction you push.

Good Day Merrell, It funny ever since I noticed the use, I am seeing it everywhere, CNN even did a story this weekend. America got to LOve hr even when it strikes us strange. I am reminded of when I first moved here. The first time I saw a Lent Meal Deals. I had to ask what that was…I laughed and said, Only in America….
