I really appreciate the MSM megaphone yelling at all us little people and telling us what to do on behalf of global elite bankers. I think we should also add in: the military, health and insurance industrial complex. All these industries are favored by the Rs and Dems over us little people.

   5   9:48am Thu 1 Mar 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like (3)   Dislike   I did actually think Obama would be different, but he's the same as Bush when it comes to protecting Goldman Sachs at the expense of the middle class. Bush appointed a former Goldman CEO as Treasury secretary, who then demanded $700 billion in a blank check, which should have sparked armed revolt, but for some reason did not. But like I said, Obama's no better: He did nothing to increase prosecutions for obvious mortgage fraud. His administration is chock-full of "former" Goldman Sachs employees. He continued the policy of bailing out bankers at the expense of the middle class. Bankers must be allowed to fail. Bankers must go to prison when they commit fraud. I think that cartoon is exactly correct.

I think that cartoon is exactly correct. Patrick, it was always this way. Alexander Hamilton was a proponent of a strong central government and banking system from the very beginning. Andy Jackson had "I beat the bank" inscribed on his tombstone, for God's sake. George Washington hated political parties. The whole idea from the very beginning was to have two parties (he got overruled) both headed in the same direction doing the right thing for the country but in a different way. We were set up specifically so we didn't turn into Britain or France. So far that hasn't happened but lately I wonder.

   9   10:39am Thu 1 Mar 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike   Re Napolitano is fired, he still sits in with Stuart Varnay every morning. I just think Freedom Watch was in a bad time slot. Who in the hell is still watching business news at 8:00 at night? Is it actually reported anywhere or is there any other documentation saying he was fired? Or are you just correlating his last show and what was said, with the lack of him no longer having the show? Maybe he knew that was his last show for ratings reasons, so he went out with a doozey. I don't think Fox Biz would fire him, then allow him to be a paid guest on other shows. That is of course, unless most agree with my argument from threads gone past, that just because someone is on Fox, doesn't make them an employee. That's a possibility, but then again, I would have to be right, when I said, Sarah Palin isn't a Fox employee just because she gives interviews on Fox.

A lot of people with credentials that would dwarf my own think it's gonna be the early eighties all over again, starting in 2013. That includes the lady we spoke with at the title agency yesterday, who's been in real estate and finance for years. We need a new President and we need a new Fed chief...and then we need an interest rate driven recession to wring out all the inflationary pressures from the economy driven by so much funny money. Here again, is another reason we bought. Did you hear what Warren Buffett had to say about residential real estate yesterday? We went out for Mexican food and when it came on the big screen at the bar, I almost choked on my burrito.

William E Baughb Napolitano was getting dry and formulaic. That's why his show was canceled. Stossel is doing the same thing and he'll be gone soon as well. Ailes is freshening up the look of FBN and Fox News. I saw Missy Francis on this morning with what's her name who came over from Bloomberg. She's amazing looking. When she smiles, my head spins. I'm serious.

I've never cared for Stossel, he sounds so nasally whinny. And to be honest with you, some folks used to call agitating, with some of his issues he picks. His interviews comes across, as Boratish but not in a Sasha Cohen trying to be funny kinda way. In fact it's that ick factor, that I don't dig Borat. It's painful to watch when they are trying to be serious.

I think down deep he's still the Irish Catholic kid from Philly who likes to get drunk and tell stories. It cost him his health and that's too bad. I used to like Tim Russert even though he and I were different politically. He came from nothing, growing up in Buffalo. He knew what good wings and roast beef really taste like. The guy I miss is Brit Hume. He's on for special occasions but has retired for the most part. He was the the only serious journalist they had.

Idiocracy is one of my favorite movies along with History of the World Part I, Blazing Saddles and then most of the big WW II and 1950s war classics of which there are simply too many to discuss here.

    21   6:30pm Sat 3 Mar 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike   Not true! I myself think Obama is basically running Bush's third term for him: * Middle class forced to pay the 1%'s taxes for them. * Continued war. * Laws created to ensure corporate profits rather than public benefit. If you were banned, it was for insulting other users.

    22   9:33pm Sat 3 Mar 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like (2)   Dislike   It's true, we got into an argument about it. You just don't remember it. It was 2 years ago. I pointed out that Obama voted for the Patriot Act while he was a senator, voted to fund the Iraq War every time except during the primaries, that one of his biggest campaign contributors was the financial industry, and that absolutely nothing would change. I then pointed out anybody that didn't do the research to know this before they voted for him is a moron. And they are and they were. People spend more time watching television in a week than they do selecting who they want to vote for. Americans have the government they deserve. I am sick and tired of people not doing their job before voting. I'm tired of it. You have one choice to vote for again in this election, and that's Paul but the country won't elect him. He's CrAzY. He's the only authentic honest politician that has run in my lifetime, and that just doesn't represent the vast majority of this country today. People like Bush Jr. and Obama do. Lying corrupt criminals. That represents this country quite well.
