Or so one must think reading the commentary on this blog lately. But, frankly, I think I’d rather go with the idiot this time. For some reason, call it a dream if you will, it just seems to me that the idiot has a bit more information and a few better advisors on this bailout thing.
Let me just pull out a couple of quotes from an AFP article for you:
-- jump over to read them - -
Here’s the first part:
Obama noted the bill's failure had triggered a bloodbath on world markets, with 1.2 trillion dollars wiped off New York share values alone Monday before a partial rebound Tuesday.
That was not just a crisis for Wall Street, but for millions of US workers with a pension investment and small companies reliant on lines of credit to stay in business, he said Tuesday in the battleground state of Nevada.
Note the part about "a crisis ... for million of US workers with pension investment". That’s workers, as in w-o-r-k-e-r-s. You know, people who work for a living. People who earn a salary. People who depend on a 9 to 5 or, more likely a 7 to 3.
But Kos is right! Damn those Wall Street bankers! Let ‘em go under! Serves ‘em right. Hell, it’s not gonna affect me!
Now that idiot Obama went even further:
It was an "outrage" that taxpayers were having to foot the bill for financiers' folly, Obama said, but stressed that without action by Congress, "millions of jobs could be lost, a long and painful recession could follow."
An outrage? Oh, shit, did he say outrage? Well then I guess we should just let those jobs be lost. Who cares if there’s a long, painful recession?
And then, to top it all off, he came up with this gem:
"There will be time to punish those who set this fire, but now is the moment for us to come together and put the fire out."
Put out the fire? HELL NO!! Let it BURN!! That’ll teach ‘em.
And, by the way, no cutting in line:
