Geithner will soon understand the term, “thrown under the bus”. Obama will send him to that place quicker than a blink of the eye. Dodd will continue to pontificate and express outrage over payment of the bonuses knowing full well he was the one who inserted the provision in the bill and it stayed in. Now, Obama, Dodd, Frank, and all of the other Chicken Littles are in front of the cameras constantly decrying the nerve of AIG paying those who were primarily responsible for the problems with taxpayers money. The freaking idiots knew all along these payments would be made. Who the hell is fooling who here?

This administration makes the Bush guys look like freaking geniuses and financial wizards.

As much as it ticks me off knowing millions of taxpayer dollars was paid out under the guise of “legal” contracts, it disturbs me just as much knowing that the government has no problem stepping in and trying to negate contracts in a private industry, well at least one that used to be private.

What the hell is going on in Washington? The “gang that couldn’t shoot straight” at least knew what a gun was. This gang of educated incompetents has a problem distinguishing between a gun and their limp dicks. Considering the “brain trust” of Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, Frank, and Kennedy, it is no wonder we are falling behind the rest of the world and losing intellectual property faster than we did our industrial base. When you add in the damn foolish behavior of Republicans when they were drunk with a little power, Americans have been used, abused, and abandoned to ideological fights between the two parties. All of the responsible adults left Washington a long time ago. The inmates are truly in charge of the asylum.

Now we have sound bite leaders dependent upon polls to tell them how to govern and what to do. We have a country that will soon have 40% supporting 60%. We will have program after program passed, placing a heavier burden on the taxable income base of the 40%. This intellectual lightweight called Obama has a vision of pure socialism no matter how he tries to disguise it under the guise of “Change”.

Buyer’s remose is a bitter pill to swallow and I see frowns on the faces of those who crossed over and supported Obama more and more each day. It is difficult not to ask, “What the hell were you thinking, or were you?”
