The Money Quote from Ilargi:

"The only real question that remains is whether Barack Obama is really that dumb, whether he's been aware all along of what he's doing, or whether perhaps someone's made him an offer he can't refuse."

1. We all know he's not "that dumb." President Obama is just answering to his higher power...

Wall Street.:kick:

2. I'm gonna vote for none of the above

Why does it have to be Obama is dumb, diabolical or paid off?

3. What are some other choices??

Inquiring minds would like to know.

7. wrestling with an

intricate web of politics and monied power prolly more accurate but less dramatic to those looking for a simple plot line.

4. When you see language like......

"And you and I both realize that the taxpayer doesn't know yet that all (s)he had is gone". Sensible people just go "ho hum another brainless polemic based on an ideology no more sensible than Malthus" and stop caring what else the pitifui little gadfly wants to vent about.

5. Get out the flame retardant.

It's gonna get hot around here.

6. Oh come on...really...

why won't more people admit the neocons have taken over the Democratic party too?

8. K&R

9. Only excuse I see....

...is that the Wall St types were supposed to be more effective at fixing the financial crisis due to inside contacts and that they would not spook the markets.

The above might be the case...but I think they sure have taken advantage of their positions....

Obama is fast losing credibility with anyone but those to the center right...and the right doesn't like him because they are not where he is.

Goes to show you what COMPROMISING too much does for you...."he's a real no where man"...?

So if we go double dip...the market tanks...and jobs don't come back....nobody but the wingers will be happy. Then it's a fascism fest....instead of just fascism light.
