Ry, I was in the city a few weeks ago, thankfully they were not there. This is just what I don't understand. Vilify big oil, big banks, insurance, ect. ect. Pass more laws to regulate and tax them, at a time when they are just hanging on. And then say, gee why aren't they doing more hiring.

Numb Nuts has done this since day one. Now he needs the jobs they would have provided. It still goes on. With all of these lawsuits against big banks over mortgages. Early on, the government should have helped settle all of this so we could put this behind us. They twist the arm of Bank of America to take over Merrill Lynch and Countryside and now most of the lawsuits concern this. Just amazing. Would have been better to just let them go under then and put all this behind us.
Like I said the other night. We will all be sitting on the curb, broke and in despair (all of us, rich & poor) but Numb Nuts will be happy because, after all it is fair. We will all have nothing, no jobs, no homes, no money but we will have equality. I,m convinced that he believes this shit. That's frickin real scary. He is surrounded by like thinkers.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/return-of-the-real-obama/2011/09/22/gIQAf7dsoK_story.htmlThe authentic Obama is a leveler, a committed social democrat, a staunch believer in the redistributionist state, a tribune, above all, of “fairness” — understood as government-imposed and government-enforced equality.
That’s why “soak the rich” is not just a campaign slogan to rally the base. It’s a mission, a vocation. It’s why, for all its gratuitous cynicism and demagoguery, Obama’s populist Rose Garden lecture on Monday was delivered with such obvious — and unusual — conviction.
He’s returned to the authenticity of his radical April 2009 “New Foundation” address (at Georgetown University) that openly proclaimed his intent to fundamentally transform America.
Good. There’s something to be said for authenticity. A choice, not an echo, said Barry Goldwater. The country will soon choose, although not soon enough.
