there's another FDR on the way...

[yorgatron]

i don't know who he or she is yet,but they're coming.
the same way we needed an FDR after too many robber baron republicans ran this country into the ground.
mark my words.

[Ken Burch]

1. May you be right about that, yorgatron. nt

[mattclearing]

2. We haven't even begun the Great Depression yet.

You need another Depression before people will elect an FDR.

[meganmonkey]

3. Maybe it'll be a pre-emptive FDR?

:P

17. The Depression started nearly three years ago

for me. Been jobless since then. Still looking for work. My former employer laid off nearly thirty percent of the workforce - half of which remain jobless today. I guess pain really does depend on point of view as they say.

4. Um, Can we just skip the Great Depression part?

Thanks!

5. well, unless he/she is an independent, I don't see it for 08 election

[The Stranger]

6. I'M COMING!

7. I think you are right. True leadership with American ingenuity...

All this doom and gloom talk lately has me thinking about good old fashioned American ingenuity and how we came through past difficulties because of this.

I don't know who they are either but they are on the way.

[Larry in KC]

8. I honestly think I know who it is...

...and I don't want to start a flame war in saying this, but I believe the pieces are falling into place to make it so.

Hint: most importantly, he'll be another FDR but, as a bonus, he's also another Ike.

9. Does his name rhyme w/ bark?

:rofl:

[Larry in KC]

12. Well, that would give it away...

...but I will go so far as to say it doesn't rhyme with "Goosin' itch".

Or, for that matter, "hintin'".

[Botany]

14. So in your world does the wind come from the ......

..... Wes?

[Larry in KC]

16. Well, it doesn't NOT come from that direction...

[Larry in KC]

28. But, come to think of it, this refreshing breeze...

...could also be said to come straight up from the south... especially since I happen to be writing from Missouri.

13. Wesley Clark it is with. . .

Barbara Boxer. . .only ones talking back at the Bush Crime Family day after day after day. . .all others equivocate and keep looking over their shoulders to see who's watching.

[Skittles]

10. wow, a virtual coworker of mine Jabbered me that same thought yesterday

"we need another FDR"

[Jankyn]

11. Just remember...

FDR arrived on the scene with the New Deal just in time to forestall violent upheaval (many feared the equivalent of the 1917 Russian Revolution) as a result of the Depression. And his humane social programs promptly got him called a Socialist. And the robber barons tried to launch a coup on his administration that only failed because Gen. Smedley Butler actually believed in the Constitution.

FDR's administration could just as easily have gone badly wrong. I don't think the oligarchs will be as unprepared the next time.

Jankyn, trying not to be too pessimistic

15. Welcome to DU, you are absolutely correct.

But keep a good thought, we may make it.

[Ernesto]

18. You might be correct....... And maybe big business could help

Since our major corporations are getting hammered by countries that have national health care, they must realize that it is time to control our greedy health care pigs. National health care in America would be, in effect, a subsidy for GM, Ford, Boeing etc. and a great thing for the people. AS it stands today, the pharm & health insurance industries are negating our ability to compete globally.

24. while I was excerising tonight I was thinking the very same thing.

I was watching link tv ( www.linktv.org ) with the European Journal program - so much shit happening in the world. They reported on all of the natural disasters as well as the international tensions ... I just felt it. It is SO bad and people are finally waking up and I believe they are craving another FDR and would go so far as to say they will demand we have another FDR. I hope the media will comply.
