Good they voted for him wall street gave him 72% of their contributions now let them pay for it. Under socialism the rich pay and since they and their media elected him it is only fair.

For those unfamiliar with this famous Latin saying.

“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” is generally translated as “Who guards the guards?” or “Who watches the watchmen?”

Wikipedia attributes the quote to Juvenal (1st-2nd cent. AD Roman poet). Here is a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quis_custodiet_ipsos_custodes%3F

When I heard it for the first time, it was attributed to one of the early Caesars (Nero?) who asked the question at the end of an exchange concerning his protection:

Q: Who guards me from the mob?
A: The Army.

Q: Who guards me from the Army?
A: The Praetorian Guard.

Q: Who guards me from the guard?
A: (silence)

Although wrong, I like my version better. Makes more sense as generally applied.

Sorry not all Wall Streeters voted for him. Now, Just think if in a couple of years there is not enough money to cover this trillion and Obama decides that anyone who took any part of the bailout now has to pay. What if you worked on a road or bridge project and your boss gave you a $500 dollar Christmas Bonus? You will have to now pay 90% taxes. Once you give them the power it is impossible to take it back with the slackers here.Now say your boss doesn't fulfill his repair of the road... Your out of a job. I am old enough to remember these things that America does because we are too stupid to look at boths sides.

I would say that that would be a small price to pay for getting rid of them. In short I hope they try.
