This is from a person that US main stream media goes to for insight to the future :shock:

"
Yes We Can," Says Obama:
"No We Can't," Says Celente


RHINEBECK, NY, 13 November 2008 -- Barack Obama was elected President on a slogan "Yes We Can," and a promise of sweeping "change." But the slogan is an empty one and the promise has already been broken, asserts Gerald Celente, Trends Research Institute Director.

Obama's win was an unquestionable victory for racial justice; it proved the color barrier could be breached. However, under the new administration the promised "change" will be minimal. And, as usual, the citizenry will play no role in shaping government policy.



The Slogan

Obama's "Yes We Can," mantra captivated much of America and mesmerized the Obama faithful into believing that "we" means them.

"This is demonstrably wishful thinking," says Mr. Celente. "'We' is not them. The people have no say. Obama has already tipped his hand. Even before being elected, candidate Obama was instrumental in pushing through the $700 billion bill despite only 30 percent of the "We's" supporting its passage.

Opposition to the bailout ran as much as 500 to one among those who personally contacted their representatives. Overwhelming hostility for the bailout had no effect upon candidate Obama. If this is a precedent, it means that President Obama can be relied upon to pay only lip service to the populace while doing real service to the special interests who financed his way to the top.


The Promise

"As for 'change,' President elect Obama has already reneged on his solemn pledge to rid the Capitol of cronies and insiders; to bring in fresh faces and new ideas," said Celente.

Long before the Election Day ballots had been cast, candidate Obama had picked Rahm Emanuel and John Podesta for the crucial positions of Chief of Staff and transition leader, respectively. Both are quintessential cronies, pedigreed insiders. It would be difficult to find two individuals who better represent the breed.

Known among the Beltway crowd as Rahmbo for his ruthless political tactics, foul mouth and abrasive manner, Congressman Rahm Emanuel served in the Clinton White House as a top strategist, is currently chair of the Democratic Caucus and fourth ranking in the House leadership.

John Podesta served as Bill Clinton's chief of staff. His lobbying firm, ranked the third most powerful by the Washingtonian, counts among its clients the oil-giant BP, defense industry corporations Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics, biotech firms Genentech and Amgen, Swiss pharmaceutical corporation Novartis, and Wal-Mart.

Pursuing the same path to grapple with the "greatest economic challenge of our lifetime," Obama sought advice from top ranking public and private sector experts also with strong Clinton Clan ties, i.e., insiders and cronies. Chief among them: were former Clinton Treasury Secretaries Larry Summers and Robert Rubin, both instrumental in creating legislation that dismantled Depression era banking and trading safeguards (Glass-Steagall Act) designed to constrain the power of Wall Street and put limits on the excesses of bankers and brokers.

The new laws, (more accurately, the absence of law) crafted and promoted by Summers and Rubin among others, signed by Bill Clinton and rigorously enforced by George W. Bush led directly to the "greatest economic challenge of our lifetime." This is the financial/economic debacle that currently engulfs the entire planet, and from which there is no conceivable or foreseeable escape, at least not in the short or mid-term future.

"Going to Summers, Rubin, Reich, Tyson, Volker and the rest of them to fix the economy is like fighting the War on Crime by bringing in Al Capone, Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Seagal, and Machine Gun Kelly," said Celente.
"'Yes, we can,' sounds good but it is a delusion, 'No, we can't.' Nobody can, given the current socio-political and philosophical make-up of the nation. And, unfortunately, Obama's promise of 'change' is already revealed as a fraud," he concluded. "That won't change either."

no they aren't going to change their way of thinking. it's human nature to try to fix rather than make significant change. celente also said mccain is not the man to lead - as i recall he said neither obama nor mccain could lead you across the street let alone out of this mess. what it amounts to is that the situation will have to run its course and nothing anybody in power can think of is going to fix the problems. as homer simpson said, 'stupidity got us into this mess and stupidity will get us out.'

Number 1 CHANGE- Obama is not Bush....That fact alone will be enough to satisfy me for awhile....And after watching yesterdays hearings on the Mortgage and Bailout fiasco- it looks like some Repub Congressmen are thinking the same way...
Congressman Bilbray all but called GW a crook during the hearing- questioning how GW could change policy that is a law- specifically the law that requires banks to check the immigration status of all loan applicants... A policy change he indicated GW and his Boys made in 2005 that allowed thousands of illegal aliens to act as "straw buyers" for houses- which they have defaulted on and has cost his part of the country MILLIONS/BILLIONS in mortgage fraud...

I felt sorry for the young Treasury fellow ( Neel Kashkari) testifying and taking all the heat- especially when Bilbray asked him how the Bush Regime could do this in violation of the law? The poor "kid" just had to say he didn't know...
Bilbray even insinuated that GW be named as part of some of the RICO investigations/prosecutions as a coconspirator for his actions in the frauds...

Amen, RM. They were in denial on his total lack of qualifications and/or experience. They were in denial that his history of associations with shady people showed his character, they ignored his lying habit, and they couldn't be convinced that he was a Socialist even though he was raised one, his family is loaded with them, and his "spread the wealth" comments proved that he was one. They denied that he was anti-gun in spite of an undeniable radical anti-gun voting record. Now look at what you're seeing; more denial. I wouldn't bet a nickel that they'll figure it out - they don't want to figure it out.
