Why are my shorts in a knot about Obama Budget Cuts? We win the election and prompty do every thing the losers want. I didn't vote for bipartisanship. I voted Democratic...I thought. Wrong.
Why make the losers happy? And he doesn't do anything for US. Remember us? The people who voted for him. Middle America, the working poor, unions, the average Jill? US? Urban America.
More Rant below the fold. I know I am not alone.
Wall Street? Sure: Blank check. AIG or the sky will fall? Sure, Bail Out. Bargain against yourself for health care reform until it's nothing and not even get one GOP vote? SURE! Make unions take wage cuts for job savings? Easy is pie. No Estate tax? Cool! No problem. Dump on Manufacturing? Sure if that is what Wall Street wants....take me ten seconds, can you wait?. Big Pharma need a blank check too? On the way!
Home owner relief from mortgages? NFW you whiners...it's a MORAL obligation to pay debts...the guys at Trishman Speyer told us just today before they gave back the most overpriced apartment complex in the world to the their lender...but that was just business and who cares about all the tenants they soon to be F-ed over as part of Wall Streets plan to score and now don't even know who will run the joint? That is just business too!
Call it pragmatism. Yeah that is the word! Pragmatism! Sounds just like appeasement and works the same way. Cannot wait for that time when some pragmatic Wall Street Lender strolls in with some Obama Government Operative (with Michael Bloomberg in tow to 'splain it all to them real slow like so they U N D E R S T A N D) to tell them, regretfully of course, they just have to give up repairs and rent control and services, well because everyone has to suffer in these tough times and besides....Wall Street insists and these units were really too nice for you middle class schmunks any way, just like the houses the union guys used to own in Detroit that were too nice and the wages they made which really too much for what they do and the health plans that were really too good and the schools that were too free and the colleges that was too affordable for you plain folk that don't get how things really work.
But what Obama can do is create a mortgage mod program for the poor and middle class that will keep you chained to your worthless house for the rest of you life because it is, you know: A MORAL OBLIGATION, 'cept not on Wall Street!
No more loans for Main Street and manufacturing where all the people who voted for me work? Sure makes sense to us! Anything you say MR. Gold Man F-ing Sachs!
Out of Gitmo?. NFW you whiners! The GOP won't play ball and besides, they are all scaredy-cat and stuff and we cannot have that.
End the two wars? No you whiners. That scares the GOP too and they might wet their pants and after the warm feeling goes away their skin gets chafed and red. That would hurt and we need them so. And they need the money we pay them and their corporate masters to run the wars.
Blackwater? Sorry need them too. Army is stretched too thin and GOP swine own it and they'd be mad at me.
Obama Neville Chamberlain is so smart because he listens to the GOP and tries to reach out to them to make them happy. WTF? Who asked him to do that? No one I worked with when I was campaigning for him. It never crossed my mind.
How about making me I happy, since I actually voted for you? Get it?
Wall Street bosses...have to have bonuses that are pornographic or they might QUIT. One can only wish for so much good fortune. Monkeys would be better managers then the Wall Street types because they would work for less and perhaps might even be right even half the time. Cannot have that though. Their feelings would be hurt. Tim and Henry told me and Ben backs them up.
Sure my shorts are in a knot because Obama Chamberlain and his team have gotten them wedgied right up my behind so tight I am in agony, so they can make the G.O. F-ing P happy?
Enough with appeasement and triangulation and centrist crap. Get it? What's he done that that GOP won't do? They both do nothing for progressives and Democrats and unions and the poor and the middle class.
So yeah, I'll sit this next one out after canvassing, contributing, registering, phone banking, door hanging, hosting fund raisers, putting out law signs. Sure F-ing will. Because all that effort got me N-O-T-H-I-N-G, nothing but APPEASEMENT. Because he is betraying us. I could have stayed home in 2008 and gotten as much for less effort on my part.
Change I can believe in has turned out to be spare change tossed to we beggars that wanted reform and new thinking. Eisenhower was a better Democrat than Obama is and he was a Republican and a GENERAL!
Hell Obama Chamberlain would never have the balls to order federal troops into Little Rock, Arkansas to enforce Brown v. Board (unless he had bi-partisan support from a Dixiecrat or two) or to fire MacArthur (Truman), or end the Korean War (Eisenhower again) or regulate the banks (FDR) or pass Civil Rights and Voting Acts, Medicaid, Medicare (LBJ).
So far he's nothing. Nothing. And my shorts are sure in a knot as he throws another sop to the GOP on this budget. Who asked him to make them happy? Make me F-ing happy for a CHANGE. Remember that? CHANGE. Not gradualism, not appeasement, not GOP desires, not Snowe, not DeMint, not GOP a-holes. Democrats VOTED FOR CHANGE. And the GOP is happy as pigs in slop? They know he's on the run. And this is the clearest signal yet.
Failure and disappointment and yes shorts in a knot wedged right up my ass by someone I thought was my friend and champion.
