Robert Sowell was asked what he would ask Obama if he got the chance and he answered,” I’d ask him to resign”.

Think they slipped the bonus rule in the stimulus bill so they could play this populist gambit later?

Great points everyone. This is a perfect opportunity for Repubs to scream at the top of their lungs and demand answers.....why do I hear crickets chirping instead.

I think you mean Thomas Sowell.

I was thinking this exact same thing yesterday. What better way for marxists to whip up public hysteria against "the rich" and capitalism in general then by pointing out examples of alleged abuses of the same?

It all just seems a little too perfect doesn't it? An openly radical and marxist administration in the White House that has made no secret of its intentions turn this into a socialist/fascist nation where the government controls everything. A heavily leftist/statist Congress that has been itching for excuses to seize even more power over private enterprise. And a trillion dollar bailout that was pushed through in such a quick manner as to make it nearly impossible for anyone to have actually read. Now that the sheeple are starting to rumble about it possibly being a bad idea to let the government have so much power over everything, a perfectly timed gift comes along, in the form of bonus money, to serve as a reminder to the public that an all powerful government is the only recourse against real or perceived abuses.

Interesting how this has played out in such a way as to allow the all-wise and benevolent government to ride to the rescue at the exact moment when the chorus of questions was getting louder. This country is in for some dangerous times.

Before the election Dr. T. Sowell was asked who he was voting for. He said, McCain. Asked why he said, I’d rather a disaster than a catastrophe.
