arkie,

I don't know about the Obama thing, but why don't check this out. About a month and a half ago(?) the government had all the top bankers in for a meeting. You might remember that some large banks did not need nor want any money from the government but were pressured to accept so that the other banks who did need it would take it...sound fishy?. From my understanding the type of shares the government bought from these banks in order to give them the money, were not the same type of shares you and I would purchase. Although they are "non voting" shares, from what I can gather they are the type of shares where the "investor" has full disclosure...in other words apparently they have the ability to look into everyones financial information without subpoena? If that's true, couple it with the fact that they can turn your cell phone on even when it's turned off and listen to conversations in the room and also locate anyone anytime. Talk about the ability to control a population...The technology available today makes it possible.

One more thought. Many investors were crushed by the real estate collapse and many more were crushed by the stock market collapse, combine that with the rape we all experienced for most of the last few years on oil and our middle class has shrunk considerably. Those remaining have converted to pure cash, what would be the next step if someone wanted to purposefully eliminate the majority of the remaining middle class? Crush the dollar...Really hope it doesn't happen, but it could. Let me know what you learn.
