Grumpy Old Queens

Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi. Two peas in a pod. Like Heroin in a syringe.

Both act like menopausal piranhas and angry teenage girls who didn’t get asked to the prom. They’re dangerous because they have no conscience and lots of power. And; they’re not looking out for the best interest of the country.

I wouldn’t follow either of them into the boardroom or on to the battlefield because they fight like weaklings who depend on hired bullies to handle their dirty work.

Pelosi causes 777 point drop in DJIA

By spiking the bail out vote with her vitriolic hate speech in Congress, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi contributed to the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing down 777 points; an amount greater then even the crash experienced on September 11, 2001.

It’s time for a new Congress. We need adult people who can and will work to save the country.

Pelosi puts partisan hate above the good of the nation

Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, spiked the bail out bill by spewing partisan hate moments before the vote. She put her rage above the good of the nation and threw a partisan bomb that scuttled the bail out solution.

Good going Nancy.

Obama’s Detachment Form Crisis

I’m ashamed of the U.S. Congress, the speaker of the house, the leader of the U.S. Senate and the Democrat nominee for President. I’m ashamed because they’ve acted like children in this latest crisis. Not elected responsible adults, but children.

Senator Obama is detached from the greatest economic crisis facing our country since the great depression. He seems comfortable letting other people handle the problem, almost as if he was too busy campaigning to be bothered.

People, average people, are furious that 700 billions of dollars of taxpayer money will go to help fat cats; this despite the fact that Senator Obama has proposed 800 billions of dollars in new spending.

The bail out deal is essentially economic chemo therapy. It’s going to cost a lot; it’s going to be painful; its effects will last a very long time; some of those effects will be darn nasty and unpalatable; and it may save us. It also may not save us.

Modern technology, economic commerce and credit, and global business practices have far surpassed our systems of regulations and safeguards. Yet, these modern systems and practices have brought us to this crisis. Many people are screaming, “What Happened?”

Modern life is what happened, modern economic life. This side of modern economic life isn’t pretty, but is real and we must deal with it.

I feel no confidence in men who take a lassie fair approach to command and let proxies handle command.

Confusion about saving the country

Let’s see.

Credible economic people who have never cried wolf on economic issues before are now screaming that the empire is near a catastrophic disaster. Other credible economic people say that the situation is indeed grim, but that letting high flying profiteers go under is a natural consequence of the disaster.

As usual, politicians of lesser character and big power are spinning the future of the Union in terms favorable to their own point of view. I’ve seen childish tantrum from the usual crop of left leaning characters, and counter tantrums from the right.

Here are the sobering facts. WaMu went under. This event in and of itself is tectonic in its consequences. AIG went under, this event in and of itself is tectonic in its ramifications. Lehman Brothers went under, Goldman Saks is in serious trouble, Wachovia is near collapse, several large European bans are near collapse, and some of the foundational tenets of the free market are in doubt.

Is the sky falling, as chicken little might ask? Well it could be, is the correct answer.

I feel no confidence in the House or Senate democrats. I feel little confidence in the Senate Republicans. The House republicans are mad and don’t want to play ball with a pork barrel laden bail out plan, but perhaps underestimate the consequences to average working people of the disaster upon us.

Watching the political climate lately has been like watching an elementary school yard establish dominance within its childish social structure.

I am ashamed of Congress. Every single one of them. They’ve been acting like whores for campaign money and throw tantrums for their core clicks while the country twists in the wind.

Make no mistake, the country is twisting. Our economy is twisting and the snarling faces of Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and the like give me no comfort; definitely no sense of leadership.

Congress, you are a disgrace. You have let your petty selfishness get in the way of the good of the people.

John McCain has done exactly what he said he was going to do all along the campaign trail these last few days.

If McCain follows his own promise he must have a surprise deal to be revealed at the debates.

Has he made a secret deal with house republicans? Will he be able to put Obama back on his heels once again?

We’ll see.

Watching our congressional leaders snarl at each other and act like school yard bullies trying to be top thug on the block makes me ill.

Be warned Congress. If you choose the childish way and let the country’s economy go into cardiac arrest we will vote all of you out and replace you with honorable people who care about the country more then having their selfish way or the selfish way of their party.

Obama: Not Responsible for Economic Crisis

Obama knuckles under, will go to Washington after all

Senator Obama evidently knuckled under when President Bush asked him to attend a nonpartisan meeting with John McCain, Congressional Leaders, Financial Leaders and himself in Washington today.

Thank you Senator Obama. I’m glad you won’t let your reactionary arrogance keep you from participating in saving the country and world from global economic depression.

Obamatown is just like the South Side of Chicago where the Senator doesn’t live. It’s poor, without hope, filled with death and violence and broken promises. It the place we’ll have to go if the Senator doesn’t get off his rear end and help fix this economic nightmare waiting for him back in Washington.

Watch out Congress, if you play politics to the determent of the citizens, we’ll turn all of you out.

Obama, in his typical reactionary manner, says that he won’t suspend his campaign to save the country. He won’t do anything to save the country, but will give advice on the issue if he’s needed.

Senator Obama, what part of a financial disaster, or financial Pearl Harbor-as Warren Buffet calls it, do you not understand? Are you really willing to let the nation’s economy go into the tank for political advantage? Are you willing to let the world an our country feel the pain of a serious depression simply for your place in the Polls?

Reactionary arrogance, that’s what your practicing right now Senator Obama.

Get off your high horse and help save the country.

MCCAIN GRABS WALSTREETS BULLS BY THE HORNS

John McCain in a brilliant tactical move, and a bold move to save the country, has grabbed Wall Street’s bulls and bears by the private parts, and told them that we MUST fix this disaster and we WILL fix it now.

Thank God.

Co-conspirators of Financial Crisis

Who’s responsible for the financial crisis? There is no easy answer, but there are definitely co-conspirators.

Everybody who made money during the real estate and mortgage run up is definitely a co-conspirator. I’ve known several loan brokers who without a college education earned more per year for the years of 2000 to 2005 then several medical doctors I know. All of the loan brokers are out of business now. None of the doctors are.

Every bank, loan company, loan commodity trader, government regulator, member of congress-including Nancy Pelosi, investment company, real estate agent, home improvement and construction business, construction contractor and worker, insurance company and anything to do with investments, business or stock or mutual fund company: all of us are responsible.

The Federal Reserve Bank is responsible; The Congress is responsible; The President is responsible; everybody who bought a home is responsible; everybody who refinanced a home is responsible; everybody who bought a car is responsible; everybody who took out a loan is responsible; everybody who remodeled their home is responsible.

To blame one person for the mess is like asking who’s responsible for the damage that a hundred million people caused during a financial riot. The hundred million people who rioted are responsible.

To stand back and blame for what hundreds of millions of individuals did when running amuck in the financial world is like asking which two or three locus are responsible for the swarm that are the entire crop. All of the loci are responsible.

Tens and hundreds of millions of people profited from the riotous swarm of risky money making that lasted a very long time. Now, times have changed.

Congress Balked at helping it’s own citizens.

The consequences of not doing anything are dire. Yet, will Nancy Pelosi and Obama and the Posse send the country into devastating destruction for their own political advantage?

It remains to be seen

Obama, Chicago Swamp Politics, Crime.

Watching Politics in Chicago is like watching a politicized version of Jerry Springer. Poke the skin of any festering abscess and watch political puss, money, pain and back room deals rush out of their pressurized container.

Money talks in Chicago politics, and the homeboys and homegals  at city hall and the county building are standing with their money grubbing hand held wide open. If you want to play in the windy city, you got to pay.

My favorite politician in Chicago is a man named Clayton Cesspoole. His name says it all. Nothing happens without him getting a cut of the action. 

If you think you can swim in the cesspool of Chicago Politics and not wallow in the mire, you don’t know Chicago. Chicago is tough, dirty and will cut you with a rusty serrated shank that’s been soaked in the sewer treatment plant.

Senator Obama was mentored by the political sewer treatment plant, and we’re watching him regurgitate it’s fruit.
