Whoops

This coloured fellow who's been in the news a lot lately.

You know the American Chappie.

Osama? Sadam? Obama? Anyway, something like that - got a lot of "a"s in it.

The new saviour.

He does say some strange and wrong things doesn't he.

Why just today he was reported as predicting more bank closures.

The other day he was calling for belt tightening.

Surely someone in his position should be promoting confidence in the economy, trying to get people to continue sensible spending and assist the economy to keep ticking over.

That is what all these interest rate cuts, tax cuts and bail-outs are designed to do.

Those reported statements will do exactly the opposite.

People will take their increases and put the money under the mattress or bury it in the back yard.

I do hope his opening the presidency up to foreign born people will not be the only good thing he does before Mr Schwarzenegger gets voted in in four years time.
