Ireland needs dose of American 'can do' optimism

American can do its call the FREE MARKET, Capitalism one of the things that Obama is trying to destroy that is one of things that makes America great to be a free people to do as we please. Obama and the dumb Democrats think we as a people are not smart enough to take care of our self. I'm a proud Capitalist the Democrats have had both houses since 2007 and Nancy Pelosi and fat Barney Frank, Chris Dodd with Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac and the there greed made this mess not Capitalism

That's right, aj...Optimism cannot be supplied by the government -- but it can certainly be dampened by it. And it has been.

would never work...

Optimism is a choice, it is not supplied by the government or corporations it is found within the fiber of those who choose have it.

Key distinction, here: Ireland could use some American OPTIMISM -- which is NOT to be confused with the current U.S. government or its policies (who are the biggest avowed ENEMIES of that optimism we've had, to date). It's because of them that we don't have much optimism to spare, currently (kudo's to gregoryny).

ummmm, excuse me but, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America? are not this people al implicated in Americas current disastrous condition? you would think people would learn.

Sorry Would love to help the irish out but we ain't got any optimism to spare.

The Irish must be very optimistic. After all, they elected Fianna Fail the Mass Immigration party! Was that optimism, or just stupidity?
