To think that when/IF he gets fired instead of prison he’ll get a nice 50M sign on bonus and a standing ovation for a heck of a job by Wall st.

O-Dam-A Changeling You Can’t Believe In Anymore!

It’s ridiculous that Obama and the Democrats didn’t come into power with at least two shovel-ready policies. The break-up of the power of Wall Street banks and an agreed Health Care Bill. Where’s the democracy and the People in this Party?

Nothing is coming of this. I watched the Bank stocks start to recover yesterday and today. That is usually a sufficient “tell” that we got some more pre-announcements of Kabuki theatre. Geithner, Bernanke and Summers are not going anywhere.

Anyone who is taking any of these pronouncements seriously just needs to look at the track record. If the Obama brand was a delivery service the company would have been sued into a sewer by now.

“Yes we can” has morphed into “yeah right- any day now”

The only question I have left about Obama is whether he’s actively running a con on liberals for the good of his corporate owners or if we just have a political system that flawlessly selects for Democrats who are spineless, breathtakingly stupid screwups who always manage to fail to the advantage of The Money.

Oh, now that he’s gambled away every shred of political capital, leverage and credibility he had, now he’s maybe going to start pretending to give a fuck about liberals? Well then.

Yeah, Emmanuel’s gotten the politics of the last 20 years wrong. Or right, if you assume his goal is to cripple the Democratic party and shovel bullshit on behalf of his corporate owners.

You give Rahm Emanuel too much credit.

If BO can manage to get rid of Bernake, Geithner and Emanuel it will be a good start to get back in my good graces. Anything short of that is just another failure of colossal proportions.

So is Pelosi the Joker and Reid the Penguin? I realize those are enemies of Batman but I really can’t see either Pelosi and Reid as Lex Luthor — if they were anywhere close to being a Lex Luthor this damned healthcare bill would have been passed 2 weeks after Obama took office.
Thanks for the compliment on the ‘boulders’ –I just think he’s going to go thru a period now where it looks like he’s doing some heavy lifting, but nothing will really change. Like when Cheney had Homeland Security up the terrorist alert the night before the 2004 election.
