A strange phenomenon:

[ProSense]

Some people are criticizing Obama for not taking the necessary steps to stop the bonuses and not doing enough to abate the economic crisis. Yet when Congress passed the bailout package it was deemed horrible. When Congress addressed the bonuses by passing the tax bill to recoup the money, some people claimed the bonuses are a distraction and a small amount in the grand scheme of things, and that the tax bill to recoup the money (which is absolutely Constitutional) is bad policy, which amounts to defending AIG and the banks from the bad Democrats while some people are criticizing Obama for not taking the necessary steps to stop the bonuses....

Repeat, Rinse, Pout


Seems like some people are only complaining about the banks as a way to complain about the administration.






Edited typo.

3. I haven't seen the complaints that the tax bill to recoup the

money is bad policy. That makes no sense.

Our media will again help the GOP.

Also, the new schtick is the media projecting Obama's budget for 10 years,
and screaming 9.3 TRILLION DOLLAR OBAMA DEFICITS!
AP did this in an article that I caught on the Internets!

Obama budget could bring $9.3 trillion in deficits
