@Ummm Yeah, if you have not done so you should attend Dialogue with the FED. These seminars provided by the Federal Reserve Bank should be beneficial to your economic research.

@Queen, love your name and great comment. My husband graduated from Booker T. Washington Institute “BWI” in Kakata, Liberia. He went on to earn an undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering, a master’s in Computer Science and is the owner of a U.S. Software Patent. He is indifferent so long as the path leads to love for one another which according to him the indigenious people of Liberia never got from Americo Liberians. He says free blacks from America colonized his country and resumed the slave trade where America had to step in and shut down that “mofo”.

@Ramses, the Financial Industry is the “game changer”. If you have not done so, you should get your Series 65 License which is all that is required to become a Registered Investment Adviser Representative in many states including Georgia. The Series 65 Exam is administered through FINRA. This is the fastest way to enter the Financial Industry as an Independent Adviser, learn the ABCs of investments, utilize sweat equity to grow the business and the self study material costs less than $200.

My husband and I purchased the Series 65 self study material from Pass Perfect and passed the exam on the first try. Then we purchased Empire Stock Broker Institute self study material for the Series 7 “Stock Broker Exam”. It was an easier read, contained helpful hints and acronyms, and was more informative than Pass Perfect. This is why I recommend Empire Stock Broker Institute self study material to prepare for the Series 65 Exam.

There’s nothing more attractive to sisters than a BMW “Black Man Working” so you shouldn’t have any problems growing your Financial Firm.

1)No one is putting down or uplifting Mr. Obama in suggesting he put a Job Creation Plan on the table.
2)Government was created by the founders of this country because they realized there are some things we can do better collectively, like fight wars when there is a common enemy, share in the cost of building infrastructure, enhancing wealth through trade, and most important providing an environment that is conductive to healthy economic growth, by leveraging the resources of the whole to resolve complex problems, like this economic downturn for instance.
3)If you review your history, it was the federal government largess which pulled us out of the Great Depression of 1930’s. However, a complete recovery from the Great Depression arrived after 1940, when mobilization for World War II caused a huge increase in industrial production. I am not suggesting Mr. Obama start a war to increase industrial production. What he should do however, is start looking at financing schemes that will pump up the consumer which is 70% of our GDP. The consumer has literally stopped spending which is why we are in this downturn. This President will not do this unless prompted, because it involves political risk. Nevertheless, this is a proper role for government to play. So you see this is not about Mr. Obama and whether he is black or white, it is about the role of government. He just so happen to be sitting at the top of this government.
4)Realizing government has a role to play; we can help by suggesting appropriate strategies. We should get involve, unlike many of those who look like us ignore there is a problem. They spread misinformation about the seriousness of our economic situation . I am an advocate of the belief that if a problem was created by man, man should be able to resolve it. This Great Recession was the creation of man!!

I just observe other groups who are not as vocal about politics. Like Arab Americans and Asians. They could care less about politics because they understand the game. Hence why they focus on making money and creating more businesses to serve those of us who have made politics OUR main focus. I do applaud you for doing what you do though. Good to see a brother taking a stand on what he believes.

You also realize that he was in the Illinois State senate beginning in 1997, so he was in political office when the sub-prime mortgage really began to bloom in the early 2000 and there is no record of him speaking about it.
