Good Sarcastic wit. This is almost believable.

I started rereading Orwell’s 1984. I’m only two chapters inside the book and realize that Obama may become his Big Brother.

..and I noticed this morning that all the tea products have disappeared from the shelves of local food stores. The shelves where those products should be are empty, and there is a club-wieldingBlack Panther Party representative advising shoppers to keep moving if they know what’s good for themselves...

I’d rather this be kept in the realm of political fiction.

I agree.....but it does run close to the thin edge of reality

They would do this if they could get away with it.

We are close

Kind of ironic isn't that the Dems and Obama were complaining about how the banks and AIG deceived investors when it is Obama who wanted S&P to continue to “deceive” investors about the credit status of the US.

Anyone who believes that America deserves the AAA rating is a fool. But that is beside the point.

The first step to recovery is to admit that you have a problem. Obama is still in denial.

Hilarious. However, someone needs to make the point that SOMEONE at S&P leaked info out about the downgrade (Rush knew) before the Friday night announcement and some very big players exited the market ahead of everyone else. History will show that to be true.

Yes Hilarious.

Real funny..

Moody’s, S&P Caved In to Ratings Pressure From Goldman, UBS Over Mortgages

Is S&P too big to be held liable? No one cares that it appears there is proof that S&P was one of the “key enablers of the financial meltdown” that led to this mess?

No one cares that only the collective (us) is made to pay for these shenanigans? That nobody, no-o-o-o-obody is accountable? That they are too big to fail and they are too big to be held accountable?

Yes, "SOMEONE at S&P leaked info." But hey! It's our fault -- not even Bush's. Ours.

I could take it one step farther as to what Barry would really like to do:

"In a dramatic break with the tradition of private executions, fifteen high raking officers of the Standard and Poor's rating agency were publicly executed by firing squad today in New York City. The Times Square executions were witnessed by an estimated 10,000 screaming Obama supporters and by the president himself. Obama told the crowd that this would serve as a warning to anyone thinking about crossing him or his administration. The volley of gunfire was delivered by a special detachment of the Obama Civilian Defense Force. Attorney General Eric Holder was also on hand and was seen passing out candy to the many schoolchildren in attendance."

This is NOT SARCASM

Very interesting. The owner of S&P is McGraw Hill.

Actually, the executions were carried out in Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem, just of Lenox Avenue, now renamed Reparations Road.

A vanity like this should be marked so in the title so others won’t waste time reading if not interested.
