Mr President, here is a question I would like to ask?
Are you concerned at all that the Democratic Party will be seen as the Party of Wall Street after spending so much of the taxpayers' money on these bailouts? And that the Republican Party will inherit the Party of the People label? In historic times, the Parties seem to switch roles. For example, the Party of Lincoln is closer to the Democratic Party today than the Republican Party. Are the people ready to accept this in their Party?

1. do you think it matters in 100 years when we are dead and gone?
Will there even still be the same two parties of a United States? I'm not too concerned with labels.. I'm much more concerned about doing things that are better for all humanity worldwide.

2. So, do you support the bailouts?
I assume that you do? And for legitimate reasons, I suppose?

3. Not really. I think the whole thing is a sham. Belief in the "money" system
is much like any belief... when it doesn't work and people don't believe in it, does it matter how many zeros you stick behind anything. What is real is work produced.. after that its a sham.. something to prop up white men in suits (kings). Its never been fair and no one will become Rockefeller ever. Its a belief system, myth, or great theory in practice. Its not real; its something that was created.. dreamt up by men-- kept in place because that's the way its always been. I'm much more interested in a way that really works and keeps people living on this planet for generations to come.. the greed that goes with this wealth and this need to keep people in horrible living situations is not something I would care to sustain... Its all much bigger than the US of A or a couple of ideological parties.
