Keep b!tching Ma. You're like a barometer, gauging the storm that is sweeping away the ugly elitism and false hopes of Reaganomics. The more you complain about how Obama's economic policies are hurting the fat cats who pull Wall Street's strings, the better it bodes for us ordinary folk whose well-being has been sucked away by their greed.

What an amazing revelation Steve! The louder the Republicans whine the better things really are!

I forgot to mention that Democrats started the Civil War....


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

I see, this is just more from the "condoms cause aids" department

Fascinating, we are asked to "trust market forces" and then when we do it is those who agreed to trust rather than regulate who get blamed for market forces screwing the pooch. So the market drops 4% today because it is obvious those who are running this country down a rat whole don't have a clue how to keep their own actions from driving us deeper.

AIG loses $61 billion and that has nothing to do with it, only what the Dems/Obama do or don't do. Such purity of logic it is breathtaking.

My tiny but very-diversified deferred compensation package skyrocketed under Bill Clinton. As soon as George W. Bush took office, it sank like a rock and never recovered. However, I didn't NOT vote for GWB solely because of that. It was ... oh, a thousand things.

steve's point is well made. thank you. and ma, really now, through all that insincere rhetoric about being a reformed guy, you've just been waiting for what you perceive as the right moment to open up and start criticizing. gimme a break, ma.


sure, you can talk to god, but if you don't listen then what's the use? so, onward through the fog!

Bush didn't cause high oil prices but somehow Obama caused the Stock Market to tank.
