Obama Meets With Bank Executives

“As long as the Democrats are in office I am very flexible and will allow them any leeway at all. I don't want results just a Democrat in office. Please Mr. Congressman support bank regulation. You didn't know it was needed until I called right Mr. Congressman?
Congressman to his personal secretary; " Miss Smith did you know the banks need regulation? I just got a call from a constituent. Thank God! Who knew???"”

“The only way the banks make money is by lending? Ever hear of short selling the dollar? Credit card fees? NSF fees? The banks are making huge profits this year. But it's not by lending.”

“Please bankers pretty please. I didn't run to empty the Treasury out for you but I did it anyways. Now please let me regulate you please. This Obama is really playing a very dangerous game. He says one thing yet always seems to be doing the other. Hey Barack how's about stopping the destruction of the dollar by your buds in the banks? The deferance he shows these irresponsible and immoral bloodsuckers is almost enough to make one retch. He acts as if he needs permission from the banks to make any sort of a move. Not a good sign at all. We're going to get some halfway watered down measures that will do NOTHING. This is developing into a pattern.”

Stewart Catches Glenn Beck Digging For Gold (VIDEO)

“Lol I thought maybe he was having a rash in his drawers!
Glenn is the phoniest carnival barker on Fox. He manages to one-up O'Reilly which is not an easy thing to do. Somebody has to pick the bones of their demographic.
One of the gold ads I saw made me retch violently. It had the wax moustached used car salesman pawn guy hovering over an old Granny who was cashing in all of her heirloom gold. They actually had her reciting where she got the ring or earring and how precious they are to her. Then the broker tells her all her problems are over (for this week anyway) he's going to give her a whole $400 cash!!!
Glenn's show has two or three different gold commercials. G. Gordon is there of course. I'm not sure why Ollie North isn't on hand.
Beck's having a wonderful Christmas except for how worried he is over Marxism and (gasp!) the government actually using tax money to help America and Americans (Oh No!).
It's communism when you use tax money that way. It can only go for war or highways. That's all we need war and highways. Glenn actually said this to BaBa Wa Wa the other night. And he was serious too! My God he's brilliant!”

“Dolboeb,
Very thoughtful response. Keep the faith. There's nothing wrong with ultimately wanting what's best for our country. I don't personally believe that people are more interested in Tiger Woods. My opinion is that the media covers these stories out of any kind of proportion in an effort to distract the masses from the corruption and criminality of our leaders. They desperately want you to just go to work, shut up, and pay your taxes of course. It's an opiate. Most people naturally avoid bad news or thinking about what a horrible mess these devils put us in. Myself I don't really thin Palin would be more than a tick or to two different than any other President. She isn't really radical at all. Just ignorant.”

It gets really tiresome after a while. Did you ever notice? America hasn't had a positive outcome in anything for decades.

“Dear Barack,
If it was really a "just" war in Afghanistan you wouldn't have to go around all the time telling everybody about how "just" it is. And it isn't a war anyways. You should stop refering to it as such. Your nations Oil companies have to have troops over there in the Middle East to protect and insure the free flow of the black gold. That's All. You really need to stop using these convenient lies to sell the immoral bombings, invasions, takeovers of governments & occupations.
I'd like to hear some concern from Mr Obama about how it is that a muslim fanatic went on a shooting rampage at Ft Hood Tx when loads of actionable (Obama's term) intelligence had been compiled and sifted through? You don't care about Americans at all. You just want to reign supreme in glory and go around accepting awards and flashing that toothy grin.”

“President Obama is wise to not condemn Muslims for the attack at Fort Hood. It is not a religous issue, but a mental health issue. The attacker is an American, born, raised, educated, and militarily trained here.

“Great object lesson on government in America in the 21st century. It's a pantomime. The polarization and gridlock are manufactured. It's just a soap opera. All they really want to do is have it so everybody has to buy healthcare and the rest are covered by taxpayer dollars. It's just another boon to insurance companies. Nothing more. But gee they really tried. Didn't they?
Stop believing in this government. They do this to us because we let them. They use the same tactics and strategies over and over. You can predict these outcomes very easily. The day Obama said a single payer system was off the table (the first day by the way) I knew the fix was in and we were going to be treated to one big, long, drawn out farce.
As Ian Hunter once wrote "We never failed to fail". That's a perfect motto for our corrupt and wholly owned Congress and Senate.”

“You are correct about Congress of course. But as long as people are interested more in Tiger Woods mistress or WH party crashers than in facts and truths about public policy, perhaps this is just a consequence of the overall ignorance. I believe in government because I believe in people. Because we elect the government and if we did their homework and paid attention to who we are electing, and not blindly believed the ads or talking points, we would be better served in the end. To stop believing in government in this country means to stop believing in the intelligence people who elect them. Given Palin's favorability ratings we could be close to that threshold. If you think what we have now is bad, think what would happen if we cross that threshold.”

“I'll tell ya one thing.
I would believe in what we were doing if we sent a cadre of perhaps 30,000 troops over there and tasked them with one mission. Training and mounting Afghanistan's military and police forces. These forces would be solely responsible for ultimately securing the entire country. And paid by their own government. Keep in mind this is nearly 7 years now with no real progress made at all. Spinning our wheels wasting mammoth amounts of taxpayer dollars. Mission creep is a big understatement.
This action is designed to be the most hit & miss sputtering half-rear ended boondoggle. They tell you straight out "Oh yeah keep in mind this is going to take forever and a day. Don't expect any kind of success anytime soon.". It's a gravy train.
Barak is listening to the generals exactly like Bush did. Aweful.”
