I feel like the city has lost a lot of steam in the downtown redevelopment area. I hope the banks start lending again. I hope this plan isn't a lot of wishful thinking.

I voted for Obama last Tuesday concerned about the tanker project. I still voted for him knowing that when he made those comments he was talking to a union. I just can't vote on one issue. He has since changed his opinion to the best plane for the war fighters. I'm still unsure about how he feels. I watched a video of the European Commission President talking about possible protectionism from Obama. He said that the Europeans will fight him on that issue. So expect a lot of pressure from europe and asia to keep the markets open. So that helped ease my mind a little. Mobile will be okay.....we have been here for 306 years. the city has seen a lot worse.

Sorry if I kept this conversation going.
