Clearly appropriate advice for America right now with Republicans and Democrats offering up variant advice on how to resolve our economic crisis.

Already, without taking office, Obama is being blamed for the recession.

If the two political parties can't reach a consensus on how to repair the economy, we may soon not have an economy to repair.

An aside: Ben Franklin is one of those American historical figures that I have longed admired.

In my youth, I read his autobiography: He was our First Citizen, forming our nation's first fire department, and first public lending library.

Domino - Obama being blamed for the recession, that is such balogne! I really hope, for their sanity, that folks don't believe that one.

Re: economy. I sincerely hope that they've all past the "what's in it for me" stage and gotten to the "wow, we really gotta make this economy work for the sake of the long run for our children and grandchildren" stage.

I also enjoyed learning about Ben. Franklin. Very independent thinker and true to himself, I feel.

Famous Quotes - Indeed appropriate. I hope its gets heeded.
