I have but one question for the Obama loyalists. Do you guys ever get tired of saluting the flag? Just because we support Obama and all agree he was 1,000 10 times better than anyone else running doesn’t mean we have to put our brains on a shelf.
Why did he lie to us, and why aren’t the Democrats holding him accountable? We are not stupid. We can see what is going on. All this distraction about bi-partisanship as if millions of unemployed, broke, and homeless middle class Americans care.
No salary caps for CEOs. No torturers, war profiteers, or WS crooks going to jail. Just lots of hot air surrounded by smoke and mirrors.
How about a truth commission on the bailout?
I shouldn’t be surprised by now. But I still was when I read the article this morning in the Washington Post explaining that the cap on executive pay has been removed from the stimulus bill. I knew what Congress was doing yesterday by bringing the Wall Street executives in and scolding them in public was a dog and pony show. But I had not realized how profoundly full of shit these politicians are.
Nationalize the damned banks already. They’re stealing us blind. Geithner is a WS insider, and the wrong man for this job. If we aren’t getting tax dodger and Republican appointments, we are getting the cat assigned to guard the canary. If I have to bailout their sorry asses, I want to own them.
While we are at it, who did us this favor?
A Sanders-Grassley amendment to demand TARP recipient banks stop firing U.S. workers and replacing them with foreign guest workers was ripped out of the bill.
Last but not least, what’s all this noise about Obama and Social Security? We can pay for the Bush war profiteers and the ongoing WS bailout of Washington’s financiers and cronies, but they, by god, are going to save us from the burden of social security.
You have no idea how bad Democrats are starting to look on the heels of all that campaign rhetoric. Change my ass! I am getting sick and tired of all of them and the horses they rode in on.
