We need a president who is strong enough to stand before the American people and tell them in no uncertain terms the extent of the financial problems we face. We are not children. We can handle the truth. The American people deserve a full explanation of the debt crises occurring all over the world and at home. They deserve to know that unregulated banking institutions have over-leveraged themselves into these crises, and that banks have lobbied Congress for this deregulation. They deserve to know that recent populist movements pushing for further deregulation are propagating dangerous falsehoods about the nature of our current economic crisis. We are intelligent enough to handle the gravity of the world's events, but we need a leader strong enough to show us how we can move forward
