Let us not forget the adage that, in order to be able to lead, we have to first follow guidelines within the structure of our administration.  Let there be no doubt that the shadows of deregulation have given way to temptation and that considerable power in certain areas of our economy has opened up avenues of corruption.

The fallacy of total deregulation has finally revealed itself in the light of its debilitating effect on the economy, as evidenced by foreclosures, bankruptcies and bailouts.  It has taken a long time to happen, until the flood of delusion and deceit has finally inundated a wide expanse of our economy, and deluged every other area of our system of democracy.

President-elect Obama’s presence of mind and orderly moves, as far as our economy is concerned, must not veer erratically in any wrong direction.  Campaign assurances may have stepped up his chances for success. but may not be enough to get him in the full spotlight of fulfillment, but rather, in the penumbra of uncertainties that appear to be inevitable.
