Yes, Newsweek, we already know B.H.O. is your messiah. What's with the question mark?
Newsweek tells us that if all goes as hoped, Barack will follow in Franklin Roosevelt's footsteps and "not only save the American economy but probably capitalism itself. How? By restoring it to health with a large dose of socialism." Some info for Newsweek and Barack the Master Economist:
- Socialism is not a solution. Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy...but it is not a solution.
- Don't blame "free-market absolutism" or unbridled capitalism on our economic woes. There has been no era of free-market absolutism or unbridled capitalism, at least not in living memory.
- Meddlesome government intervention, including socialism, is THE problem.
- FDR prolonged the Great Depression by 7 years with meddlesome government policies.* Expect similar results from your anti-capitalist messiah, FDR Junior.
*Don't take my word for it, read about the UCLA study for yourself.

Politicians have immense power to do harm to the economy. But they have very little power to do good.
The Myth that Laissez Faire Is Responsible for Our Financial Crisis
If you have a problem with terrorism or if you're concerned about the upcoming Obama presidency, you are probably just paranoid. Paranoia is on the rise.
Flashback: Obama managed to keep Jesse "Castration" Jackson at arms length, but now that Obama is in the big leagues, will he be able to handle the likes of Vlad Putin? Newly relesed Putin quote: “I am going to hang Saakashvili by the [testicles].”
Winston Churchill: "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
UPDATE:
Money for nothing won't grow the economy.
Why Obama is so scary...he refuses to learn from history. We're doomed to repeat the mistakes of history, only in a bigger way this time. Obama Explains FDR's Folly?
