The way it’s going with Obama’s speech today on the middle east he, Geithner, and Bernanke are going to have America so crippled and broken down financially, we won’t be able to come to Israel’s aid even though we want to when the next fight begins. Curse them all.

In the HBO movie Too Big to Fail, it’s also a surprisingly gripping melodrama—a clash of greedheads and egomaniacs desperate to escape the consequences of their own bad behavior

IOW the government gets off scott free of any blame and will probably be portrayed as the good guy coming to the peoples rescue.

We’ve been in a constant state of crisis since September 2008, if not before. It finally caught up with us at that point, but it was obvious to objective observers who understand basic math what was happening. Every action they have taken to FIX the crisis merely masked crisis’ existence. In fact, what has been done since 2008 has made it much much worse.

Here’s the problem with a 1/3 victory last November. No matter how STUPID it is... Timmy and ZER0 have someone else to blame when things really start to go bad. And, they will... go bad and blame House republicans. Only question is how many millions of people buy into ... The sky is falling became of the debit so we need to spend more!

When does this guy and his whack-job boss take responsibility for their administration? These jerks are getting the longest honeymoon period in history from their useful stooges.

Until stockholders succeed in bringing down the highly inflated compensation that major CEO’s and their other executives receive they will always have the incentive to send work overseas to much cheaper labor. At Google see Forbes CEO Compensation to get an idea of just how overpaid these guys are.

Right or wrong, the President always owns the economy. He gets praised or blamed right or wrong.

This is Obama’s economy. He will be a one term wonder as a result and it doesn’t even matter who the GOP run. After 4 years of economic depression, the voters are going to want change again.
