Comedy Platinum

There's comedy gold, and then there's that once-in-a-lifetime event, comedy platinum:

USA Today: Obama: 'Fat-cat' bankers owe help to U.S. taxpayers
"I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of, you know, fat-cat bankers on Wall Street," Obama said.

No, you just appointed those fat cats to run the economy, ensuring our economy continues to rot.

You also forked over trillions of taxpayer dollars to those fat cats, the most egregious transfer of wealth from a middle-class to oligarchs since the looting of Russia.

But fear not, my fellow Americans, because your Empire has only begun to bleed money. Obama's health insurance scheme will fork over trillions of taxpayer dollars to the vampires of the health insurance industry. It'll look good on the Christmas mantel -- a trillion-dollar medico-insurance complex, right next to those other criminal and insane boondoogles, that trillion-dollar military-industrial complex and those trillion-dollar failed colonial wars.

Last November, the people of this country voted for FDR II, not Bubblenomics 2.0. Once they start realizing they've been tricked, all hell is going to break loose around here. I just hope we Leftists can help channel that anger into something constructive.
