Let me weigh in on this as well. Under Bill Clinton there was a major economic boom which he and the Democrats never wasted a chance to extoll. But, lo and behold, the corruption was staggering. Many of these wonderful creations were being double-booked and so the scandals eventually broke and the bubble burst. Our new “team” is already rife with financial shinanigans that you believe will lead somehow to impeccable honesty. Astounding! And this miracle will bring prosperity to all through the what? the Sainthood of our present politicians? They are busily gathering so much power unto themselves that it is staggering — and so, mark my words, will be the devastating results. The power of power to corrupt is unexcelled — vastly greater than wealth alone. Beware.

I will still take my chances with businesses I can shun, ignore, reject or sue. Try doing that with an all powerful government.

Very Skeptically,
Ardath

I’ll hold you to that prediction, Robert! However, when predicting poverty will diminish by “leaps and bounds” by the end of 2012, how about a definition of “leaps and bounds”?

Still respectfully,
Marcia

Marcia, I agree that not even a great man like our new president, Barack Obama, and his amazing new team can undo the absolute mess our last administration got us into.
I also think that until the country stops paying billions of dallars to corrupt CEO’s and hold them accountable, we will not move forward to a stronger economy.
Once we have done this and entered a new time of honesty in our financial systems, the American economy will enter a new era of growth and we will see poverty deminish by leaps and bounds until it is a thing of the past.
And that will happen by the end of 2012, with the help of Obama!
How’s that for a prediction?

Robert — I too have been crying. Crying as I watch our nation’s financial future be squandered on unparalleled pork (aka, “stimulus bill”), and watch the stock market continue to plunge.

Let’s see who and why we’re crying in 2012.

Respectfully,
Marcia

Robert! I am so glad I’m not the only one who crys when I hear, “President Obama.”

LOVE your new site. Cory (my boyfriend) was very impressed with the picture of you and Robert R. He is also VERY impressed that you know Tom Welling and is envious! Hope to see you at the World Masters this weekend, give Wild One a kiss from me!

Best,

Liz

I agree. I’m so excited about the future. I can’t ever remember feeling this much hope all around me, where ever I go. I honestly feel this is one of those times that may happen only once in a life-time, if ever. And I’m so proud and happy to be alive now and be a part of history in the making.

By the way RD, love your site. Many of your friends have been long aware of Dover’s world (and I’m not talking about the web site) But now everyone can get a glimpse.
