Months or years from now, when analysts are studying the death of the U.S. dollar, they'll look back and see that the greenback's demise began on a specific day - Wednesday, April 27, 2011.

Wikileaks, the internet, the death of the dollar, the rise of China, 9/11, the BP oil spill and a whole lot of other events I'm too lazy to type.

He didn't create the Fed, it was created by the 5 wealthiest families in the world. They together owned 25% of the worlds wealth. Then after drafting the federal reserve charter in secret it was handed to congress and forced into legislation.
The creator of the FED and debatably the worst president in U.S. history... Woodrow Wilson.

Perhaps the death of the dollar could be turned into a positive thing? Maybe it will finally free us from the grips of this fascist currency trap?

You really don't know much about this country as Obama had no choice but to keep him on so to speak. The Fed is a privately owned corporation completely separate from the federal government. The government has no power over them at all. When congress said they were going to look into the federal reserve, they were threatened and nothing more was said.
