Dean, those are the classic sayings of conservatism. With risk of sounding like Obama, without the intention, i say that change is good.
Obama doesn't represent change. You are not considering change either. The Federal Reserve should not have a change of leadership. It should be abolished. The existence of the Federal Reserve, its purposes, its capabilities, its actions result in the US being run as a corporatocracy.
In the words of Ernesto Guevara, one of my inspirations, stop thinking like a colonised person.
And finally, would America PLEASE reinstate the Greenback. Bleeding heck! It would be a start.
