This AIG thing is why I never wanted control of the whole government. Something like this was bound to happen and Democrats are horrible when it comes to dealing with things like this. I have never seen our party in such disarray at such an early time in a Presidency. This is playing right into Republican hands and they are taking aggressive advantage of this situation. Barack Obama made a terrible mistake in chosing a Wall Street stooge like Tim Geithner as Treasury Secratary and dumping him now is the only thing that will save us.
The American people gave the Democrats the keys to the car and they will turn on us on a dime if they think Democrats are betraying the public trust. It doesnt help that the media has been out to get Obama since his election. People like David Brooks and Pat Buchanan cheered Obama on during the election, but are now turning their backs on him. What did they expect? Obama did not run as a moderate. People knew what they were getting when they voted for him and have no right to be surprised at what he is doing.
I had long predicted that getting control of the whole government would destroy our majority and it appears that I was right. Its like the story of the old fish and the sea that I heard when I was little. The woman who lived in the hut got several wishes and she kept on wishing for more and more. In the end, she ended up with nothing. Democrats need to remember this story. Democrats wanted everything and there is a good chance that in a few years, we will be right back to where we were before 2006. God help us all.
