How’s that for irony? The takeover is complete. The flock have come to the wolf.

Apparently, there’s some shearing left to do.

my bet goes like this:
there are the states parading (not in unison, heaven forbid) their pathetic single trillions and billions as a big deal and there is world-finance parading its unknown and probably unknowable 61 or so trillion of by now probably mostly mad bets out there.

This makes Obama like the guy with one arrow against a bataillon of maxim gun operators. Though I could never understand the adoration he generated I hope for him being a good basket ball player because to the best of my knowledge they score by threading/tricking their way through the opponents.

So stop giving up on him early – right now there is no better bet out there and if he is to score he’ll need a lot of support.

and as a bit of decadent European advice – the rulers we had who were a bit (or a lot) loose around the marital vow were by far not the worst of them – i.e. give those applying for high office a bit of slack there – no cronyism ithough i.e. the perks should be public – if the wife is also his Maîtresse-en-titre good for all but if not allow her a nice butler – and let them keep functioning as an official couple.

Someone needs to tell him to give the appearances a break until next Jan, then stick with once a year–i am CONFIDENT people are averse to looking and hearing his speeches anymore…and this last one was more than a pathetic bunch of nonesense…as if it matters anymore that there will be no more bailouts–the banksters already took every last penny and borrowed to the gills of eternity for our children and grandchildren to pay, and he gave it the blessing instead of calling them out. SO, he is an accomplice in the biggest bankheist bonanza of all times.

Maybe it’s my military background, but one of the things you are supposed to do when you are in charge is ACT LIKE YOU ARE.

Any organization can survive without a strong leader when times are good, but strong leadership is necessary to have any realistic chance of doing anything constructive when TSHTF.

The fact that the master thieves were too preoccupied looting the treasury to pay a courtesy call to The President (as a concept, the individual holding the office should NOT matter) is hard proof that they have no respect at all for the United States, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law.

I honestly hope that the President is at least disappointed that they didn’t show up. But I also think that this is hard proof that most elected officials couldn’t lead their way out of a wet paper bag, because to my knowledge not a single member of Congress has complained about this disrespect, which any self-important elected official can understand.

Gutsy? Well, calling the presidents actions gutsy is like saying it is gutsy for a prostitute to perform fellatio on a john AFTER receiving the money.

The CEOs already received the services they paid for, so why should they stick around?

Your snide comment is pretty light on facts. You have opinions. That’s okay. Own them as opinions; try to convince people your opinions are correct, but don’t spout a bunch of suppositions and then claim they are facts.
