Understanding President Obama's Choices,,..Interesting opinion. What say you?
excerpt:

Here's the scenario... Everything is already in place for a full "shock-like" financial collapse, and remember, when and if this happens, all it will mean for the plutocratic ruling class is that they are going to have much more power and wealth.

So in essence with a "push of a button" they could cause a catastrophic financial collapse immediately, "just like that!" And to them, is no skin off their backs--at all.

So Obama has a choice. If he takes on the plutocratic elite out of conviction, and bravery, they could just, again, "push a button" and collapse the economy. This would immediately destabilize the entire governmental system as well, and create such panic and havoc that he would be rendered completely impotent to deal with the crisis. His presidency would be destroyed, and the people (the populace) would have been plunged into serfdom.

1. I can't imagine that this is so.
Sure it's possible. But not even the plutocracy could predict how this scenario would play out.

2. I say he tells boehner&cantor that he will instruct the Treasury Secretary to CUT CONgressional pay
1st while paying our Debt Interest Payments & S.S. & Medicare & VETERAN ENTITLEMENTS (EARNED BENEFITS) FIRST. Hit the CONS in THEIR pocketbooks FIRST & they will fold because money is the ONLY thing THEY understand!

GAME OVER!

3. The Republicans stand to lose everything if they allow a default.
Small businesses will completely fall apart.

No one will be able to afford a loan.

This happened in 1932 -- and a real Democrat won by a good margin and became an even more liberal Democrat than anyone expected.

I would like to see a strong challenge from within the Democratic Party to Obama. I think a challenger could win just based on people power. It would have to be someone who has led a pretty clean life and is idealistic. Perhaps someone who has never held public office, or someone who has held a local public office and has a well-deserved reputation for absolute integrity.

I think such a candidate could amaze everyone.
