It took me a while to figure out a good response to a very good point you made about this little part of his statement...
All I can see is that in the bigger scheme of things, the more people with their blood, sweat and tears (and skin) in the tenuous economy that will be the norm for many years to come, and that every little crisis will effect it in the wrong way...
The more Americans will be whipped and scarred for being forced into this tenuous existance and experience the punishment for others (governments’) feduciary mis-management...
The IOU’s are starting to come in, and the less those who are truely responsible get scarred and can put as many of us in the way, the better for them...
“When in the course of human events is becomes neccessary...”
But what is unfortunate is that there are too many Americans who are so intellectually and politically lazy to see what they have done, and that there are too few of us to stop it...We are unfortunately going to have to ride this one out...And hope we can regain some semblance of conservatism in government, or we are heading for more trouble...
But I’m preaching to the choir...
The IOUs are starting to come in.Or, as Obama's mentor/pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright said,
"The chickens are comin' home to roost!"
Some will find this refreshing in that they will be led to believe he is speaking their language, when in reality the jargon may have varied meanings, like “skin in the game.”
Is he going to require corporate executives have personal assets invested in their own companies? Or how about invested in the bailout organizations, such that if they finally fail...these people lose their monies? Is that legal, because if they know their going to bankrupt...can they legally sell off? I honestly don't know enough at that level how it works, normally.
“Skin in the game,” from my viewpoint could mean making these companies an easy grab for the government.
And the lingo he is using is way too vague, varied, and volatile to be coming from a President.
