On AIG;
“People are rightly outraged about these particular bonuses,” Obama said. “But just as outrageous is the culture that these bonuses are a symptom of that have existed for far too long.” (source)My outrage is directed at the bozos that gave AIG the money in the first place, not the company living up to it's contractual obligations. However, the second half of his quote is even more disturbing. The chosen one thinks the government should step in and prevent companies from rewarding it's employees at ANY time. Apparently in his world everyone makes the same amount of money regardless of their job performance. That sounds a lot more like socialism than capitalism!
Next on the piss you off for today agenda;
Obama May Use Legislative Ploy to Jam Through Health, Tax Bills
The administration and congressional Democrats are debating whether to use a parliamentary procedure called reconciliation to advance some of the biggest items on the president’s agenda. The move would allow Democrats to approve plans to raise taxes by $1 trillion, create a cap-and-trade system to rein in greenhouse-gas emissions, and overhaul health care without a single Republican vote.Don't worry about a constitutional system of checks and balances that has been in place for over 200 years. Screw everyone that doesn't agree, we'll enact this into law and fund it whether you like it or not.
I'm Just Saying - you still happy?

I would like to say I'm shocked, but I'm starting to expect it. I think the whole thing is a distraction to the real bad news. The idiots are out on the streets protesting $150 million....but the $700 BILLION to a failing business not worth saving is cool.
ReplyDeleteThe destruction of America is going exactly as planned. I'm dangerously close to buying a tin foil hat, but I don't want them to know I have one...
