US backing for world currency stuns markets

The DOW went down 240 points yesterday. Tim Geithner and Obama, with their "new world order" views don't really care what they do to the US economy and the investments of many Americans, both retired and working.

We won't be safe until we have someone in the White House that believes the USA is a beacon of freedom and good in the world.
