January 1993…January 2012
Are you kidding me? In January of 1993, in speaking of newly inaugurated Big Dog, Molly set pen to paper and listed things “Bubba”‘needed done’ regarding the financial system. It’s found on pages 197-199 if you’re playing along.
The Banks and the Financial System. 1993. The Banks and the Financial System. 2012.
Of course in 1993, the discussion was whether Big Dog was going to be a Populist President and “dance with them that brung him” therefore being the one to ensure “gummint” did the right thing.
In 2012 isn’t there much weeping and gnashing teeth because President Obama isn’t the Populist or Progressive or Liberal or (insert whatever you wanted him to be that he’s not been enough of thus far here _) guy you voted for? You’re not sure you’re going to support him in 2012? Huh. Interesting.
Big Dog was, thus far, the best President in my life time. I love me some Big Dog. But he had 8 years and, in true genteel fashion, he was “fixin’ to” get around to some better regulations, but you know…never really did.
