Americans should have been in the streets to reclaim the country long ago. Patrick Henry and his fellow patriots are turning over in their graves about the present day USA. The savvy folks I talk to on a regular basis are exceedingly pessimistic that our blessed republic can pull out of this present financial, economic and political tailspin. The US as we have known it is on the ropes.

The dogs in the street know Washington is going to have to come up with more cash to plug the gaping holes in banks’ balance sheets. Of course, our Orwellian government doesn’t want us to think that major banks such as Citigroup and Bank of America are insolvent.

To ease the ongoing credit crisis and get banks lending again, the Obama administration realizes that it first has to resuscitate the “shadow financial system” that’s dominated by hedge funds and other large-scale private investors.

While everyone is focused on what Obama will do with green energy, it is pointed out that Canada is the largest, nearest, most reliable, and friendliest source of oil the U.S. has. Obama would be smart to enhance that relationship even further.
