#1 If you have any dealings with Venezuela in any way and haven't seen the handwriting on the wall as of yet, maybe it's too late for you.
Get out now with what you can.

#2 Just remember, Oogo - eventually you'll run out of other people's money.

But I'l bet they won't run out of bullets....

#4 You just gotta hope Christie gets elected prez in 2012.

Governor Christie won't be ready for 2012, Mercutio. I'd hope he wouldn't even think before 2016, or even for 2020, although by then I will be seriously tempted to give him my vote -- he gets good results. He, and the other wonderful new Republican politicians, should have at least a decade of service at the national level under their belts before being given what may well be the most difficult job in the world. If nothing else, they need time to figure out what they think about the issues and get to know the key players. I would prefer they also have enough experience to have figured out how to handle the various types of opponents they will meet, and discover how they will respond to the various types of challenges they are likely to meet.

The White House is not a good place to climb a very, very steep learning curve. Half the problems President Obama is dealing with are because he spent so little time at the national level. The other half are because he has never had real executive experience, either in the public or private sector. The other half, in my opinion, are his goals and principles, and the final half is his temperament.

Yes, I realize what that adds up to, thus demonstrating the extent of the problem the poor man faces each morning when he wakes up.
