Can we Expect a fair election this time? Can we choose fairly our candidate.?
The Election and the Financial Crisis
I feel very bad to see how the campaigns are going between Democrats and Republicans,
and, on top, the financial crisis which was expected for a long time and found the right time to explode. Now everyone blames the other party without looking at its own mistakes. In my age, I can say that I witnessed so many campaigns since 1939 until now. I saw the French campaigns, the German campaigns, the Israeli Campaigns, the Tunisian campaigns, and of course the United States campaigns. I didn’t see any campaigns fought with dignity and with honesty. I always thought that we as Americans are different, as we are the ones who teach the world about democracy.
Now when I saw what happened in the financial crisis we are in now, I understood that we are like every other country. We are liars, cheaters and dishonest. Everyone knew that since the creation of Fannie Mae in 1938, as part of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal this institution which was to be the market place for mortgage instruments became slowly the biggest monster, which grew so big with bad mortgages, and without control or regulation, it triggered the biggest crisis in modern history. How can we choose any candidate without knowing everything about them? I don’t care if we have to postpone the election in order to find and to understand what happened and why it happened and who is at fault in this enormous crisis. Meanwhile, I choose to write about the time I was young and innocent. And not to worry anymore, I trust the American people that they will in the end find a fair solution to the explosive situation.

A hard, very hard handling it is necessary to one and for all demonstrate to the American people that white collar crime doesn't pay but will force them to pay, and it is time for Congress, House of Representatives and Dep. of Justice to plug all those holes used to cheat the people, and restore the confidence on federal institutions.
