Obama is just feeding the military industrial complex, the banks, and the health insurance industry. The healthcare legislation coming out of congress is a discrace and only empowers those who are abusing us now. Obama will waste no time signing it into law because he doesn't give a shit about the American people. He will live well off the payola the big boys are giving him even if he is a one term president. He's bought and paid for.

Read a fucking newspaper once in a while and not tinfoilwingnutfuckfest.com! The banking system is stabilized and they've actually turned a slight profit on some of the TARP funds sent out (as much of it was returned!) Am I happy about all of this?
NO! I think there is still a severe lack of regulation and accountability. But get a clue and actually complain about real problems and not the silly shit...Comment

I for one think it's beyond time to have The Fed audited.....

After one year in office, I think it's crystal clear that the shit sandwich that Bush left behind absolutely fucked ANYONE that ended up winning the election....
If somehow McCain and the Alaskan sportscaster would've won, they would have had just as much, and probably more difficulty in trying to straighten out the economy.... But because Obama won, of course he's a terrible leader...
And forget about health care reform, in their eyes there's nothing wrong with it....Eat Us And Smile - The Originals

We only know where $2 Billion has gone. The US Treasury gave the Federal Reserve a blank check with no accountability. They can say anything but the reality is there is hundreds of trillions of dollars of derivative debt world wide and every central bank on the planet is issuing money like crazy.
You can't keep printing money out of nothing and hide hundreds of trillions of dollars of debt forever and this is a worldwide problem. The question is who's currency collapses first and all this who owes who causes. It's going to be a huge mess when it hits and nobody has fixed shit. The job loses will continue.
The only thing driving the stock market is all the money being issued out of nothing. It's got to go somewhere and it's going into the financial markets. Try getting a loan though. Jobs are going down, taxes are going up, and we are headed for a bad inflation fiasco.

No, I don't regret it.
There are some things I do not approve of, but not quite as many as the last regime.
That's what was meant by change...regime change. Or was it?
Unless we collectively start marching in unison and elect a majority 3rd party senate, nothing is ever really going to change drastically enough to make a difference.
However, unlike Chicken Express, I don't believe the sky is falling.

I'm still pissed about the credit card thing. Those motherfuckers take gov money to bail their asses out, then immediately stick it hard to the people that have been the most responsible with their fucking credit. I'll pay MORE money just to keep a fucking dime out of their hands now. I switched everything away from cards, and have been using paypal, COD, or just mailing in money orders for stuff I just would have put on a card. Any of my vendors that wouldn't bill me (only a couple wouldn't) I dropped them completely. There isn't ANY benefit to good credit anymore so I give a fuck about maintaining any good paper trails..Chainsaw MuthuafuckaComment

If something comes down to either a politician/government agency fucking up or a big secret conspiracy you can be sure that 99% of the time it will be the former.
It's amazing how useful that rule is in modern life on the internet.
As was said earlier a presidential candidate only makes one major decision during the 2 years they spend campaigning and when McCain made his he showed how completely fucking unsuited he was for the job.Last edited by Seshmeister; 01-18-2010, 10:32 AM.Comment

Although I still think Obama should have had the guts to go on TV and say to the American people "I want to extend Medicare to everyone but your cunt politicians are being bought by insurance companies. I need your support to tell them to go fuck themselves. Yes we can, blah de fucking blah..."
He could have got that kid that writes all his stuff to come up with something good with less swearing than I would use...

No regrets at all.
You see, I wasn't like most of America who just kinda decided that electing Obama would instantly usher in a new age of Utopian paradise within the first seven months.
I wasn't like most of America who thought that the economic problems and overseas engagements would suddenly vanish in the blink of an eye.
I wasn't like most of America who thought that the solutions to all of our problems (or, predominantly, the problems in my own back yard) would disappear because he'd directly show up at my house to fix them.
I wasn't like the minority of America that thought "staying the course" would be a great idea to solve the same problems it was already creating.
I wasn't one of those clueless Americans that thought Obama would have complete autonomy in his position, or that he'd have an awful lot of choice in some of the decisions he'd have to make.
I'm not one of those Americans that currently thinks he's doing ANYTHING different than what John McCain would have probably done, to greater or lesser extent.
And I am STILL not like most of America that seems to have forgotten in the span of a year that eight years under George W. Bush and his (and Cheneys too!) fucked up policies and decisions have created the fucking borderline catastrophic mess that Obama's actually TRYING to sort out.
Fucking amazing. I am never more baffled by anything else than I am the flimsy, moment to moment memories of those who consider themselves politically active. You know what? If so many people hate the direction the country is going in so fucking much, vote another cocksucking religious zealot/big business supporting/middle class eliminating Republican into the White House and be fucked with you. That goes for Republicans and Democrats alike.
You deserve EVERYTHING it's going to net.

That's a crock, nick. You can't print billions and give it away, then print some more billions, buy U.S. treasuries with it, then claim the interest on the treasuries is "profit." That's not profit, that's a shell game. And, interestingly, we can't see their books to see what this "profit" really is.Comment
