WC Fields — a great American too — is reputed to have said “Never give a sucker an even break.”
There’s a corollary for dealing with the arrogant con-man: “Never give a con-man a single word of good credit because he’ll use your credit in that one word to con many more.”
A man wise to the con gives Obama no credit at all.
Dubya got sucked into TARP I, that was also a con. By being conned — even if that TARP I worked out — he set us all up for the total disasters of TARP II, OBAMACARE etc.
Such excellent comments I am copying below:
