    In that case, maybe short-selling some stock or buying some Put Options would be a good way to capitalize?

    "Legitimate"? Define it.

    I don't think George is (or ever was) more legitimate than Barack is as of yet. Barack has still not made a fool of himself. George has (so many times over it is embarrasing). Putting the US economy down the tubes is not a legitimate way of running a country. In Sweden (one of the most conservative countries I know of), that kind of act would seriously be ruled out. Swedish people are very stiff I might add.

    I know the rule that say "do not discuss politics on this forum", but calling George a legitimate guy (or presidential material) is far from reality as far as I see it. A president, as far as I see it, is there to protect the country he governs. Not destroy it and all it's alliances/partnerships around it by impulsive acts that ends up in problems all across the board. Problems that others then need to solve before they can focus on developing future expansions. What a waste of time.

    I am always amazed how people (the masses) always seems to put morons on the wrong positions. And then they wonder why everything fucks up all the time. There is a reason.... The same goes with badly managed companies. They are badly managed because there is a moron running it. The same goes with a country. A country is just a whole lot bigger than a single corporation, that's all. But the same old common sense idea rules.

    Oh boy.

    There's nowhere positive to take this thread, if we're going to start debating the definition of subjective words like legitimate, moron, fool, destroy, impulsive, waste, etc. Because there are hundreds of millions of people who would disagree with you Fanocks, with all due respect.

    I'm not a moderator, but may I politely suggest that we return to discussing business opportunities that may arise, per the OP?

    Thx.

    Thx.
    There have been a few of these threads in the past and they all seem to degenerate into George W Bush bashing sessions, or pro-Obama monologues. 99% of you guys have no idea what you're talking about, so why not get back to the business at hand?

    I wish there was an option to take speed away from someone on this board, because I'd gladly use it right now.

    Jill and hakrjak are completely right. Let's not argue about ridiculous things.

    I did have something to add. While I'm not certain on all the details Obama did at one point talk about "Faith based initiative." Something about a mandatory charity for business that are faith based. Now again, PLEASE DON'T QUOTE ME as I don't really know what it entailed.

    If this is the case though, what would stop a business like say... a Martial Arts school to claim being faith based and rack in all that cheese?

    Has anyone heard much about that? Maybe it's time to start the church of Kung Fu

    I have had a few merchandising ideas when the elections were taking place. I planned to start producing them during my break from school, but I feared his popularity was fading, and it wouldn't take off like I had imagined. That progressed to a general lack of motivation.

    Now, thanks to this thread, I believe it still can take off. Even with school homework and work, I WILL find time to make it happen!!
