Socialism, socialism, and more socialism, thats what we can expect from an Obama presidency. I wish people would wake up

Thanks for the update. This news would probably have passed me by today. I really think that politics and business don't mix well.

There is a lot of trueth in your post.  to much control will not neccessarily give you the best performance.  But, you would think the shareholders should have more say, but is that what is needed...more people who have NO IDEA of what is really going on making decisions.  We have enough of that at the polls!

Hugh - I so agree buddy.  It's as clear as day that's where we're headed under Clinton or Obama.

Vickie - Glad you stopped by.  The more that know about this stuff the better. 

William - I agree, many don't know what's going on. All they look at, generally, is performance reports.  It's up to the investors to be aware and demand accountability... it's their money at risk, right?

unfortunately, most young people don't think about the reality of what politicians say. I remember being in my 20's ( and I used to be a Democrat) and just voting for what sounded good. "Free health care? ya why not?" So when Obama and Clinton go around picking on big corps. or greedy people, it sounds good to someone who doesn't realize that its not part of the governments responsibility to set boundaries for open market conditions. They don't realize that is called socialism. That is why Dems usually have support of younger people, they don't have real world experience and knowledge of how "America" is supposed to work. BTW, why isn't Obama preaching about how much an actor gets paid for a stupid movie?

I don't know how people can give their money to some big conglomertion and let them play with it knowing you may not get it all back!

Jesse and Kathy:

It only makes sense that this pinko commie would want to limit free enterprise and squelch capitalism.

Jesse and Kathy:

Congratulations!

This post has earned featured post status on the Silent Majority group in ActiveRain.

Socialism and her ugly twin sister Communism hiding behind a group called liberals in America.

Jesse, I don't know what Clinton is bitching about. Since Bill left office, they have made over 100M. She needs to put a cork in it.

I'm with you Nicholas.

Obama and Clinton are communists and so are most of the Democrats in the Senate.

By the way, get ready for a Clinton Senate Majority leader when she looses to Obama.

This get's scarier by the minute.

This is definitely THE time to watch what is going on and be familiar with what the candidates stand for. NEVER, ever liked Hillary - or Bill for that matter (no morals), and though O'Bama has charisma thereby making is easier for the other Dems to vote for him, it is dangerous to just hope that things will turn out alright. Good and informative and up to the minute post. ;-)

Jesse, you are sooo right! I'm tired of Congress trying to legislate big business. They can't get a handle on the money we "entrust" them with..why do they think they can help businesses?? How can they possibly think they have a say in the boardrooms of America? You're right..it's stockholders and shareholders who should hold these executives accountable.

Right on!  If the government had a clue about running a business we wouldn't be up to our ears in debt running  a deficit with no end in sight.  

Okay, ever political post needs a little humor. Here is a break from the serious side. Please don't take offense, JUST LAUGH!

I live in really small county in North Texas. One of the main eateries here in town is the "Chicken Express" fast food place. They have a HUGH marquee sign that can be seen for miles before you get into town. They decided to lighten everyone up this past week and posted the below sign.

Ya'll have a great weekend and just remember...WE NEED TO PRAY THE VOTE! God Bless us everyone and GOD BLESS THE USA!

Good one Kathy.

Patrick - Good to see you came around to the right side. :)  Some people know how America is supposed to work, but are just too darn lazy to care. 

Vern - I think about it all the time but I've at least done a modicum of research to know who has our money and what they're doing with it.

Bill - I agree.  The Dems do seem to love socalism, don't they?

Thanks for the feature, btw!

Nicholas - That would be Barack and his ugly sister Hillary. :)

Michael - I'm telling ya... the last thing these two cons need to be doing is bitching about corporate America... esp when they're putting money into their overstuffed pockets.

Owen - Clinton as SML?  I hadn't thought about that.  Now that would be ugly... but could it be worse than Pelosi? 

Teri - It's definitely going to be an interesting wrap up... this is almost more entertaining than the general election.

Linda - I don't know what they're thinking.  You're right though... they can't manage what they have... why on earth would we want them regulating the boardrooms? 

Doreen - You're right on the money!

Kathy - LOL - Thanks for the humor. 

You tell them brother!

Everything you are saying mirrors my thoughts.
