I've been saying a lot of those same things here myself.
So far it looks like the two of us should get along really well.

A curse on both your houses
what else would you expect from a populist? 
Really, though, I did not support either of the nation-building efforts after our military won the two wars (Afghanistan in 2001, Iraq in 2003) and I did not support the George Soros effort to make political hay out of that Bush blunder by declaring defeat in the wars on the basis of those efforts. Therefore, I do not support the continuation of the nation-building under a President whose middle name is Hussein and whose oratory is vastly overrated.
With respect to the economy, that has a lot more to do with Jon S. Corzine and his sale of Democratic Senators to his buddies in the Return on Equity Gang on Wall Street. ALL of the paybacks given euphemistic names by our Democratic Congress were completely unnecessary. As I have been saying all along, the mortgage itself is the problem; it is highly leveraged and a ready tool for speculation (Charles Ponzi showed this in Florida before his namesake scheme). THE remedy is a judicial bank (Third Bank of the United States) administering the conversion of mortgages to Adjustable Equity Mortgages.
Of course, the problem has been compounded by these pork barrel monstrosities which the Democratic Congress has passed. They have drained the economy of credit for small business, producing the unemployment which is leading us into Great Depression II. Do not be fooled by the stock market, which is in the pocket of the large financial corporations anyhow. Look at history, at the stock market rallies of the 1930's even as the Great Depression I was unfolding.
Our current "best and brightest" administration bears a strong resemblance to Hoover's, especially with all of their "recession is behind us" talk while unemployment stays around 10% for the country and much higher in some states.
