Excerpt:

Then came Warren’s big but (which is totally unrelated to Michelle Obama’s big butt):

“…Job one is to win the war, the economic war. Job two is to win the economic war. And job three. And you can’t expect people to unite behind you if you’re trying to jam a whole bunch of things down their throat. So I would, I would absolutely say for the, for the interim, till we get this one solved, I would not be pushing a lot of things that are, you know, are contentious. And I also, I also would do no finger-pointing whatsoever.”

How could a man as smart as Buffett back Obozo in the first place?

When your bus has gone greasy side up, you can’t throw anyone under it.

Obama doesn't care what Buffett thinks. He takes his marching orders Soros.

He doesn’t care what Buffett thinks because Obama is on schedule in the intentional destruction process of this country.

He hoped there would be a change. Instead, the change is toward ''modern'' American Fascism''.

Naive? Surely. Evil? Nah, ol' T-Bone hasn't an evil bone in his body.

Even billionaires get it wrong, true?

Heard on TV today that Buffet lost $25 billion. No wonder he’s disillusioned with his savior.

Before Obama, that used to be a lot of money.

Warren Buffett is a bit nervous today. See, he wrote put contracts on the stock market somewhere in late october or november. He was paid a ton of cash to offer himself as a buyer of stocks if they went down. And, now that they are pummeled farther than he thought, he’s looking at some very serious red ink. If someone has the exact quotes about when, and how much, let me know.

Obama is exposed as weak, and inept, and the financial markets have freaked out at his lack of leadership and response. The stimulus bill a disaster, and lack of reg tactics, has turned a serious downturn, into something far more serious...

Hey, a billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you’re talking about real money.

Yes, I have come to conclude that billions today are small potatoes. We’re in the age of Trillions. Sadly, I don’t actually know the next word? Help me out...

The next word will be "Monopoly" and U.S. currency will look like this.
