Quote from Eight:
sooo.... we have this marxist asshole in office, and he can blame Bush for his abject failure... but in his second term he can't blame Bush.. then we will have proven for the hundredth time that socialism/marxism doesn't work and never will work.
Will that change anything in the thinking of people that vote for socialism/marxism? Of course not you silly thinker! They like to use government to steal money and ruin things for productive people. They don't care about "what works".
No one likes zerobama less than me. He's an awful president who wastes money, destroys the middle class one day at a time, starts new wars, and is busy removing the liberties of the people as designed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
How is he different than Bush then?
Or from Clinton?
Or from what Gorenor Kerry or McCain would have been?

As someone formerly of the finance business, and now just a privte investor, I can say for certain that things were great in the 2000s. But things started taking a turn for the worst after Madoff, TARP, regulators were found to be abject failures, and the safety of just having a brokerage account, was now in question.
I sold my book of business to a recently failed institution just recently and it couldn't have been a better idea. The finance business is in shambles.
Passage of the Financial Modernization Act, the Fed, and Congress in general, has failed the American People. None of the people in the mainstream have a solution. In fact, they are the problem. And you want to elect these people. For 4 more years.
I wonder when the next US Civil War happens. Will both sides be so mind numbingly stupid, fighting for the wrong things, for the wrong reasons, like they are today?
