The Wall Street Bail Out = Iraqi Surge, A Distraction from the Real Problem

Bush is talking…keeps saying “confidence” and falling back to the rah, rah, USA gibberish.  Why, even in the face of the collapse of the republican ponzi scheme, can’t he just be honest.  Bush’s Wall Street friends can get unlimited amounts of our hard earned tax dollars to bail them out of their greedy, unpatriotic decisions to suck billions of dollars from the U.S. economy in a scheme that was disguised as “increasing home ownership.”  This is unfu*&^ng believable.  Even Stevie Wonder could have seen this one coming.

If you have a struggling small business, have already lost your business, have lost your home or your job as a result of this shit-ball that has been rolling downhill for a while now, you should be REALLY pissed.  I am changing my tax withholding so that I get all of my money every pay period.  I am not giving a single penny more to the government than I have to and I don’t trust them to hold my money.

Also, don’t be fooled about this shell game that is taking place.  Sure, the stock market is rebounding, but not for long.  Just long enough for the rich people who are controlling the market anyway to extract some more money out of the economy, before the market turns downward again.  Keep this in mind.  The very toxic debt that asshole Bush is going to buy from his friends, with our tax dollars, is still worthless!  Millions of homes are still declining in value, homeowners are still defaulting, unemployment is still through the roof, and now all of us hard working Americans have been saddled with debt that we don’t deserve.  We have now had the entire debt of the sub-prime scammers, shifted from them to us.  Isn’t that neat!?  These crooks knowingly issued bad loans, sold them to each other in a global game of musical chairs, and now that the music has stopped, they want us, the unemployed, foreclosed upon, hard working American to give them their money back.  I don’t know about you but I just don’t have any extra money sitting around to give to billionairs.

Don’t you see, this is all a giant scam.  Americans will still continue to lose their homes and these same Americans have been left holding the fucking bag!  This is not over and the economy will continue to get exponentially worse.  Bend over, grab your ankles and hang on tight, people!  And let me know when it starts to feel good, those of you who still can’t bring yourselves to acknowledge the utter incompetence of current president george bush and still believe that he is looking out for your interests.

Bill & Hillary Clinton Lose Support of Black Voters

The following is the lead-in to an article that appeared USAToday, this week:

DILLON, South Carolina (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton downplayed recent acrimony between her campaign and that of Barack Obama as her husband, former President Bill Clinton, suggested she may lose Saturday’s Democratic presidential primary because many black voters will side with Obama.

I find it curious that this argument of people voting along racial lines is only being raised as it relates to Obama’s campaign. If black people are going to vote along racial lines (and I am not saying this is NOT the case), then aren’t white people and mexican people (especially mexicans) doing it too. And hasn’t this really been the case all along? I am not surprised by this, only by the fact that, until now, white people, have come to realize and take exception to the fact that RACE COLORS EVERYTHING (NO PUN INTENDED)! (Bill and Hillary represent the views of all white people, right? Just as a single black person is oftentimes characterized as representing the views of the black race).

I know that they are part of the elite class but it is not possible that anyone who happily accepts the title of the “first black president” who is married to a white woman who claims to have been committed to blacks and their problems throughout her life (these are my words and not hers; I am simply trying to paraphrase a bucket load of bull shit into a couple of sentences, could not have been aware of the enormous racial divide in this country. In reality they are rednecks who have for years been pandering to black folks and the have-nots, in order to maintain elected positions.

Let’s not just limit this assumption that people make decisions in favor of their race to the President Obama/Hillary battle. In essence, what Bill is insinuating is that people favor those who are of the same racial make-up as themselves and disfavor those who are racially dissimilar to themselves. Hmmmm, definitely sounds like intellectual aptitude deserving of a Rhodes Scholarship.

So, let’s theorize about what the impact is likely to be due to this supposed tendency of people to let their decisions be overwhelmingly influenced by their race? Let’s look at the employment market? What about law enforcement? How about sentencing for criminal convictions? Then there is educational opportunities or a lack thereof. Oh, let’s not forget to consider access to healthcare and treatment and diagnosis of disease. And what about the media coverage of people of color versus others? Oops, did I imply that the very media that run these fucked up stories are biased against people of color?

Anyway, I yell “BULLSHIT” to all of these shenanigans. Bill and Hillary put a new layer of stench on an already funky pile of mile high shit!
