A wake up call to the "howling" investing class on CNBC, Fox etc etc etc,.
Edited on Fri Feb-20-09 09:56 AM by Peacetrain
As you stand there in you self righteous outrage, at "bailing" out the guy who lives next door to you and has an extra bathroom.

As you call out President Obama to listen to you and the "hell hounds" on the floor of the stock exchange..

Who was it that went on TV and touted stocks and risky investments to a populace that does not have the time or even the ability to monitor the "thieves" of the market.

Who was it pushing the investing class to run up the cost of homes outside the province where a person could afford a home??

When in certain areas homes that a few years ago were running at 60 thousand, are suddenly 120 thousand and the wage has not changed, the money brokers "advised" people how to buy homes they could not afford or would never be able to afford on interest only payments.. with what

The promise that next year the price would be that much higher and they could sell and buy a home with principal buy down.

Do you think we have not been watching, and do you think that those dark days of pushing the bad assets on those least able to handle it are not documented .. Think again .. Think again

The yelling and screaming does not work anymore.. the devil is in the details and the details are on video that can be retrieved. Ahhh the information age holds you accountable

We are in the fix we are in, because of the unfettered greed of the street.. And yell all you want, the truth will come out..

1. I will not tolerate their smearing of our commander in chief
If they don't like the way he is running this nation, then they should leave.

2. CNBC
This station has become a joke. Kernan blames everything on the liberals.

Most of the guests are conservative idiots like Senator Shelby of Alabama or even Jack Welch. Welch can hardly even talk.

Larry Kudlow thinks he should be on 24/7 has only he knows what truely needs to be done; of course that is tax cuts for the elite. He is also a big Reagan trickle down supporter. The guy can never shut up.

The money honey's can only repeat the wall street talking points.

4. and the funny thing about that guy ranting and asking people
behind him about bailing out homeowners..... who the hell got the 350 billion bailout before!! Oh yeah!! it was banks and wall street. pot, meet kettle. Y'all were fine when the bailout money was being thrown in your direction, but helping actual homeowners and regular folk!! now that's just too much!!! I hope the public sees through this bullshit. this help is for US, on main street!! don't let the idiots on tv and that idiot tell you any different.

9. A True "Let 'Em Eat Cake" Moment...
The scene of this loser doing his rant from the floor of the Chicago Merc. is a lasting image...one giving a face and voice to the arrogant and irresponsible attitudes that led to the crash of this economy and the destruction of millions of jobs and lives. This shit thought he was being "cute" or some kind of "common man", but in turn he showed how detached the rich has become in the causes of this economic mess and their total disgregard for taking any accountability, yet any responsibility.

It's the typical "What's in it for me". It's as though he had been financially supressed all these years. The poor boy...bet he's had to cut down his days at the club from four to three and won't be able to buy that new Porche. My bets are he was a "flipper" and probably lost a ton when his quick money game came to an end.

Of course this fukwad won't mention about all the tax breaks he enjoyed over the past 8 years...the thousands or millions he nutted away while millions saw their incomes decline.

Yep...we've now got a poster boy for the excesses and greed of the past 30 years and their complete arrogance.

10. My, they're a poutraged bunch, aren't they?
Hey guys, where have you been for eight years prior to this, when the stock market wasn't even keeping up with inflation? Even before the various speculation bubbles burst, the market wasn't exactly going great guns. But as long as you were making money at your phony baloney jobs, who gave a rip? Now that we're talking about tax dollars going to helping out workers instead of defense contractors, you suddenly find your voices?

Your lips are moving, but all I hear is "Blah, blah, blah, whine, kvetch, bitch and moan."
