Featured Column: Commentary - Nov 7, 2008
- Barack To The Future
by S.K. Eleton
First of all, just let me say Congratulations to our new President-elect, Barack Obama. This has been a truly historic moment. I know that people all over the world were watching closely to see if America would redeem itself after that Black Tuesday in 2004 when the American electorate, for some reason still inexplicable to this day, decided to return George W. Bush to the White House in a close, and possibly not totally aboveboard, presidential election. At this point, we all still seem to be in some sort of shock (relieved shock, of course) as we realize that, soon, we’re going to be able to say President of the United States without gagging.
I will openly acknowledge, Mr. Obama, that I have not been fully supportive of your candidacy, and that in fact, I was not able to bring myself to vote for you in your historic moment. For those who have been following my columns over the past few months, the reasons should be now be crystal clear. This was not a decision easily nor lightly taken. I was a very big supporter back in 2004, though I must admit I winced frequently during your convention speech. I have followed your Senate career with interest, and have had many moments of concern throughout that time, but remained convinced that these were insignificant. When you declared as a candidate for president, I was still with you, though not wholeheartedly, and I had another candidate that I favored (though this was a candidate that was more than obviously not going to make it through the primary). I have wavered back and forth for several months, but my resolve not to vote Democratic this year became rock solid on that infamous day (for me) when the Democratic Party had the non-believers symbolically ushered to the door during the prayer gathering. It was a very painful moment for me the day I went down to change my voter registration, departing the Democratic Party after 30 years of extreme loyalty, ushered to the door by a party that wanted my money and my vote, but didn’t want to be seen in public with me.
In the end, when it all came right down to it, Mr. Obama, I desperately hoped that you would win (no, I didn’t pray for your success; I hope you’ll understand why not). Right now,... more
Featured Column:
From time to time in the annals of history, a man writes his own farewell, without actually realizing what he’s done. A few weeks ago, George W. Bush breezed airily out of a climate summit where the world’s nations were trying wearily to come to a consensus on the best way to deal with the ever increasing environmental strain which threatens the future in a way that is unprecedented in human history. The callous departure he gave the other nations as he departed shall stand, for me, as the words by which I shall ever remember this historic occasion – Goodbye, from the world’s biggest polluter. And I say to that, a hearty AMEN. Goodbye, George Dubya. I would like to say you’ll be missed, but my mother always taught me that I should never lie. |

On June 26, 2004, stock market reform activist Dave Patch of www.investigatethesec.com received an email from lobbyist Jack Wynn, who was at the time representing the Small Public Company Capital Formation Club and trying to educate Congress and the White House on the issues of naked short selling and related issues plaguing our stock market. Wynn asked Patch if he could send him "all of your naked short selling memos" with the intent of "organizing a policy paper on this issue for distribution to the White House (which has requested it) and Members of Congress (who support us)." |
