Quote from Optional:
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?
In our little financial world, as traders and active investors, we have probably never been hit with such onerous regulations and tax threats as we have been in the last 4 years.

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.

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?
Good post. And yes, I also wonder when (not if) America goes into civil war... As far as ocommunist goes, there are absolutely zero other candidates who have the numbers possible to unseat him, and I'll have to take my chances with Romney, as another four with ocommunist, and we're all finished up.
