Talking with Gore is of no value, IMHO. We'll see how he does. Here's hoping for the best. Hi Ed O’Brien (O’Bie)- I agree that talking with Warren Buffett is a good move.

I really think the greed came from the Loan companies and Banks that lent money to idots that try to live beyond there means! And the trickel up caused Gaints like AIG to take the rest of the world with them... At least Obama is talking to people like Buffet,Gore, and a few other that have money and want to make more. A green enviorment could fly, and the US leading the way!! Morning Bob, Ah yes it’s finally over!!

I said that his vote, and his policy supported greed. That is two different things. Frankly, the financial crisis started with the whole sub-prime mortgage mess, which was implemented by the Clinton administration, not "Bush & Co". Anyway, as I have said, I am willing to give President elect Obama my support to see if his programs work or not. I also hope that he has great success.

It's not over yet so only time will tell but I cannot fathom your logic of calling him greedy when Bush & Co letf the nation in the mire not the Democrats.

I do hope, though, that he sees the light, and that he does move in the direction of common sense.
