    Brer Rabbit and the briar patch. Big business isn't the victim. They're co-predators with the USG. The US taxpayer is the victim.

    That was never the point. The Obama admin's hypocrisy was the point.

    No doubt, the people are pissed and they don't want to hear it. But that still doesn't change the fact that what the people don't want to hear is exactly what the Obama administration thinks needs to be done. Sometimes leadership involves having to do the unpopular. But right now no one seems to have the stomach to do it.
    If they knew what it was their duty to do they would be doing it already. I don't think they know yet. I don't think anybody does.

    Some straight talk would be nice, but it's never been a real big seller. You griped like when Obama said the economy was ty.

    Then of course, Obama made it all better by having Christina Romer flog the WH's rosy forecast of GDP growth.

    The beef that Obama is two-faced has legs, but on the whole people are more excited about/afraid of Obama actually keeping his promises.

    Yep, got to hand it to Obama, he gets his boys to put a little something in the
    stimulus bill to pay bonuses to AIG folks, then he goes out and flogs them publicly,
    then says he didn't know that was in there, then gets everyone fired up and the
    Banking Queen gets fired up along with Miss America and gets a bill passed to tax
    it back, then Obama sends his ACORN brown shirts out to do the tour of AIG execs,
    and the Obama says, hold on there, hold on there, we have to look at this more
    closely, lets not get carried away. Meanwhile, after posting security to keep
    families safe the execs say keep the damn money, so now AIG gets to keep 100
    percent of the money, so they can pass more money to foreign banks, and Obama
    can go up to Congress and tell them we need more regulation. So give me the
    power to seize more businesses.

    I cant wait till ACORN gets congress to pass a bill throwing people like me out of
    my house cause just two old folks live there and don't need all that room and
    we got folks on welfare who have sixteen kids and just Uncle Sugar to live on
    that need that house......and I can hear the cheers of boutons now.......

    yea....yea....yeah......just the way it ought to be...

    ACORN using the civil rights movement as a defense, is like using the race card to get their way with things...

    you make the wrong decisions, now live with it.

    Laugh while you can. Just think what your boy has done in such a short time. And
    he had his organization behind him, trained and waiting. Now well funded with
    stimulus money.......

    Shouldn't it always be the point? Isn't it more important than partisan scorekeeping?

    Nope. Nothing is more important to Americans and our American politicians than partisan scorekeeping.

    Each to his own taste. Darrin likes his rotten tomatoes. He's en led to keep pitching them at Obama if he wants.

    Dems giveth and Dems taketh away.


    How about just not giving them the bonuses to begin with?
    I wonder how many of those who took the bonuses were conservatives???? I would be safe to say that probably 90 percent of them.

    AIG Executives -- presumably those that were receiving the bonuses -- gave overwhelmingly to Democratic candidates. Chris Dodd and Barack Obama being the chief recipients of their largesse.

    What makes you assume they were conservatives or Republicans?

    I think Bill Gates and Warren Buffett both voted for Obama...and they're #1 and #2 on the rich list.

    Conservatives are power hungry greedy SOB's just like these execs who took the bonuses. Did Gates and Buffett vote for Obama or you think they did? And did they receive bailout money and give out bonuses with them?
