Does it strike anyone else that, if the reports are accurate, Obama’s pushy aggressiveness might be the result of him being, in turned, pushed to the breaking point by unseen hands (and money) behind the scenes? I keep thinking that more and more, his erratic behavior is the result of the quid pro quo for his purchased election being enacted; i.e., “We *bought* you your damned Presidency – now you *will* do as you’re told! Dammit!”

But as other commenters have noted, the global economy, as well as America’s, has already been well and truly looted so there’s nothing left for the Puppeteers to scoop up. And what good is a broken-down union-made out-of-gas heap to who-ever the wannabe Masters of the Universe, greedy for power and world-domination, turn out to be?

It’s almost enough to make one go “tee hee”.

(I want our military out of Iraq and out of Afghanistan — now. It’s not a question any more of fighting Islamic jihad or helping them to help themselves. We need patriots with guns back here at home — now — to deal with whatever is going to go down in our own streets. More and more, I’ve got a bad feeling about all the desperation that’s in the air — the foreclosures, the rising unemployment rates, the bank closures, etc. ad infinitum. In the LA riots in 1992, they burned down their own neighborhoods, but stopped their nonsense at the boundaries of Beverly Hills. I’m not so sure they’ll stop at Beverly Hills the next time, especially if they’ve got a President who’s assured them that he’ll support their efforts.)
