“As one of Obama’s economic advisers, Buffett said the president-elect listens to what his advisers say, but ultimately comes up with better ideas.”

Barf. Break out the knee-pads, everyone.

“He predicted that Obama will be able to convey the severity of the economic situation to the American people and explain their part in alleviating it.”

Barf (redux). The “0bama is Reagan (The Great Communicator)” talking point.

Buffett is talking down, sucking up, and drooling to reap the benefits of bailouts.


I dunno. What’s the point for a guy as old and rich as Buffet? What’s the practical difference of $10B more for a 78 year old man worth $30B? In fact, he just gave away a few billion to the Gates foundation. You’d think a guy like him would just call it has he sees it.

Explain = why taxes higher, why there aren’t any groceries, why you can’t run your heater/air conditioner, drive your car, hunt, fish, own a gun, home-school.... and all that. Our part will be to do without and join a “volunteer” work unit. Maybe that’s where all that “employment” comes in. Citizens will carry buckets of dirt to build dams and roads.

If we’re in an economic Pearl Harbor as Buffett claims, then he was flying one of the bombers on behalf of team Oba Mao.

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett says the U.S. is engaged in an "economic Pearl Harbor."

Except unlike the "day that will live in infamy," this twenty-first century Pearl Harbor is wholly self-inflicted.

“I’m sure this will help the markets overseas and on Tuesday for us. /s”

isn’t this the program they have been fueling for several years?? Drive it down and blame the Republicans! It always works.
