What he's reading, exploding toaster edition
Politico ^ | 3.20.2009 | Ben Smith

Posted on 03/22/2009 8:22:12 AM PDT by Perdogg

Obama, last night on Leno:

When you buy a toaster, if it explodes in your face there's a law that says your toasters need to be safe. But when you get a credit card, or you get a mortgage, there's no law on the books that says if that explodes in your face financially, somehow you're going to be protected.

When you buy a toaster, if it explodes in your face there's a law that says your toasters need to be safe.

The law still doesn't stop unsafe toasters.....

It's already unlawful to commit financial fraud on a person. Another law will not change that.

The people who signed variable rate loans on houses they had to know they could not afford were not defrauded. They allowed themselves to be taken. In the process, the loan companies allowed themselves to be taken because they caused a housing bubble that collapsed.

In the end, it's back to basics that should rule. People should not buy more than they know they can afford, and the loan companies should not loan to people unless they are assured the loan can be repaid.

But in Obamaland, this is a crisis to be exploited. The free market will be exterminated and replaced with some sort of Kommunist banking and housing system.

Good analogy , Obama. We need more Harvard lawyers like we need more hemorrhoids. If you buy the crap that our political system is selling, and it explodes in your face, the law says you have to allow the political elites to confiscate your property. #@&% the law.

Not only does he need a teleprompter, now he’s plagiarizing!

And why would I trust Obama to control housing, given his pal Valerie Jarrett’s history overseeing public housing in Chicago?

Attach a photoshop Obama logo or picture to that and you have an excellent bumper-sticker.

Are you sure that's not 'Toaster'?

If a toaster "explodes" at all, it must be user error...same as with credit cards.

That toaster might just quit working, or even arc/smoke a little, but it's not going to "explode" unless you're trying to cook "gasoline toast" or something.

Those same warning signs of "smoke" and "arcing" could be seen as "Overdue notices" and "cancelled" credit when using a credit card.

Only an idiot of the highest magnatude would try and equate a toaster to a credit card.

Here's a famous quote that suits commiebama to a tee:

"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." - Martin Luther King Jr. (1929 - 1968), Strength to Love, 1963
