Typical libtard response. Conservatives like you for WHO you are. Libtards appreciate you for WHAT you are.

Quit bloviating, o-r-a-f-n.com

We’ve all heard about Ken Lewis at BofA, how he was basically strong-armed by the government into acquiring toxic assets in the form of Merrill-Lynch, against his judgment and the best interests of his shareholders and the integrity of the banking system. I also heard recently about a respected, ethically clean stockbroker with a booming business in international stocks. Because this brokers’s business is booming, he wanted to hire more brokers – creating jobs. What America needs, right? But he goes around on TV and Youtube exercising his First Amendment rights – criticizing the government, especially the Fed. By his account (and I accept his account), regulators are now invoking the pickiest regulations on him that you can imagine to keep him from expanding or hiring people. Regulations that Goldman-Sachs is theoretically subject to, but which of course are not enforced disruptively on them. Reprisals? You be the judge. But I would have to say “yes”.

You are entitled to your own opinion, sockpuppet, not your own facts/

For example, Joe the Plumber, Frank Ricci, and Gerald Walpin.

OT, but I’m disappointed in the business community’s lack of opposition to Obama’s agenda. They’re entirely too willing to lobby for bailouts

I’m not. I mean, it’s what I expected. They reflect our ‘bailout society’ and have been this way for generations, going back to the Roosevelts. (Either one; take your pick.) Goldman-Sachs is virtually running the government, at the moment, and is the company that collects money indirectly (or in some fashion) on every bailout. Such business people want to have the results and status of being great businesspeople, without the necessity of actually being great business people. As vicious little mediocrities, they don’t want capitalism; they want what Ayn Rand called “the aristocracy of pull”.

Fear of reprisals? I doubt it.

Yet, for the ones who do have the guts to speak out, the threat of reprisals is real.

Only thing we have come to expect from “le doofus.”

We need to celebrate Him for what He says, not what He does.

i.e. We need to become liberals.

Not really, because after he says these things, his actual policies promote dependence on government, block real school reform by kowtowing to teacher’s unions, and diminish opportunities for individuals to succeed.

Oh come now, VtheK. It’s not about his policies. We need to celebrate Him for what He says, not what He does.

BTW, a number of things he said about education and parental responsibility should be winning applause from conservatives.

GayPatriotWest, you apparently did not watch his entire speech to the NAACP or watch it closely. There were a number of times he looked down toward the crowd and smiled — and even chuckled — at audience response to some things he said.

Oh, we know Obama has a sense of humor. Do you remember this interview?

Kroft: You’re sitting here. And you’re laughing. You are laughing about some of these [critical national] problems. Are people going to look at this and say, ‘I mean, he’s sitting there just making jokes about money?’ How do you deal with — I mean: explain … Are you punch-drunk?”

Obama: No, no. There’s gotta be a little gallows humor to get you through the day.

That shows Obama’s narcissism. We’re the ones on the gallows. We’re the ones paying the $1.8 trillion annual deficits that he and Kroft were discussing, losing jobs, about to have health care severely damaged, losing freedom, etc. Gallows humor is supposed to be for and by the one on the gallows, and that’s the American people. Obama is the executioner. But, Obama thinks “gallows humor” should be a concept for his benefit.

Does the President Ever Smile When He Speaks?

The big weakness with this type of analysis is that all Obama has to do is, start smiling occasionally when he speaks. All he has to do is have his handlers advise him, like that other shrill left-liberal narcissist who couldn’t smile for awhile, what was her name? Hillary.

Sonia Sotomayor said a lot of things this week too;

She meant them as much as President Obama did. Ask the school kids in DC who were on the voucher program.
