President Obama is a total disaster and is going to have a long life reflecting on missed opportunities, lack of conviction, and utter screws up. Not only has he failed as President, but he has crippled liberals and progressives in a way that conservatives were never able to do. Progressives hate politics and believe there is no hope for the future — not even George W was able to do that.
The latest nonsense — and it is just the latest in a long string of screw ups — is the so-called financial reform bill. Like most bills in today’s America it is long on text but short on reform. Little has actually changed to rein in mega banks and the crooked ways of Wall Street. There is little to restrict derivative trading, little to prevent future bailouts, and now Treasury Secretary Geithner has been given sweeping powers to formulate regulations. Giving Geithner such power is an affront to rationality and responsible government. Geithner is a crook.
Geithner has been a regular review on America Doomed. This guy was involved in the AIG bailout, covered up what actually happened, and involved with one financial sham after another. He has help companies like Goldman Sachs rape the Treasury of $BILLIONS. He has made dozens of secret deals as he works to protect mega banks and against ordinary citizens. He should have been fired a dozen times since Obama took office, but is still there stronger than ever. Whenever Geithner speaks, he lies, covers up, and is always helping big financial interests.
Geithner is also opposing appointing Elizabeth Warren to the new Consumer Protection Agency. Warren has been the single lone voice in the Obama administration trying to defend ordinary Americans. It is little surprise that Geithner would want to block her appointment. But, of course, he denies this — lying again. Simon Johnston refers to this as Obama’s last straw, but the last straw happened long ago with Obama. He is a lame duck and has managed to so upset his base that he will have huge loses in 2010 and will be defeated. There will be another idiot GOP candidate, but it hardly matters considering the idiot that is Obama.
Is Obama so taken with being President that he can’t begin to understand how he has utterly and completely failed? He is so over his head with proclamations the economy is recovery and that he should be held responsible for jobs. Fine. Let Obama have what he says and resign because there are few jobs and unemployment will continue to increase. In his very own words, Obama has declared he has failed — so resign already. Seriously, who could be worse than Obama?
America is Doomed.
I don’t think that Obama will look in the mirror and see a ‘failure’. He will smile and say the same thing he says today – ‘I’m the first black American president – and probably the last, so let’s play it safe and not screw up my legacy’. He is a full supporter of Government Sachs, and I doubt that he is unaware of what he is doing.
His continuation of the Conservative banking and war policies, his refusal to bring back jobs to America despite bloating the debt by a trillion dollars makes me wonder how much worse we would have been with a Repub… oh yeah, under McCain we would have invaded Iran and kicked off WW3, but that may still be in the works.
Obama has done nothing the negate the Chickenhawk legacy of Bush-Cheney. Mike Gravel would have been the best choice in my view. Hell, a Gravel-Kucinich ticket, anyway you arrange it, would have totally kicked Conservative ass.
But the impending doom of the American economy is just a reflection and result, of the selfishness and stupidity that reigns at every level of America.
Well said.
The guy is just a “community organizing” Negro. He is a corprate shill. Jimmy Catah will be his greatest admirer. The Obamanation will get him off the worst “in all of history” prezeedunt list.
The Kenyan is doing his best to entertain Hollyweirdos, Commies, Militarists, Corporatists, Dirty Doctors. This guy wants to be the end all and be all to every piece of Krap that ever came down the drown. He’s a hoop shootin’ joke. He gulphs in Maine, while the Golf drowns in “dat earl” stuff. What a Kenyan. AmeriKa has now been lowered to the status of the biggest Craphole on the planet, Afreaka!!!!!
Screw Christmas, I’m Kwanza all the way. I used to have wings and build pyramids and shitzuz till day gots salted and shitzuz.
