Poll question: Will Obama figure out soon enough that he can't trust Wall St. fuck-ups to fix economy?
Eventually, Rubin, Geithner, and Summers half-measures that spare their business partners and try to preserve trust fund babies position as ''masters of the universe'' will fail.

I believe that Obama has our best interests at heart, and he had to give these guys a shot, not just so they could finish off the last little bit of public respect they have left, but to demoralize them so if he does things they would not approve of, they wouldn't move against him--or he'd have firewalls in place to protect himself.

The question is, will he pinch off these fetid turds in time to save our economy, or let them drag us down to third world levels of insolvency as these same bastards did to other countries with their misleadingly named ''neoliberal'' economic policies?

1. What's point of having a poll if all of the answer options are skewed to your POV? n/t

2. Yes, pretty soon President Obama will be as smart as you!
IT will take time though...because being a genius takes hard work, right?

5. If you actually read my post, it was complimentary to Obama. I can see why he has to give these guys
a shot.

If he didn't, he would be at war with them his whole presidency, or it would be a very short term in office followed by a corporate compliant Biden presidency.

Did you leave the President your phone number, just in case he needs your brilliant insight
as to what he will eventually figure out? :shrug:
