Who is that?

Why didn’t George Bush, Paulsen, and Bernanke step in? AIG was calling them ‘retention bonuses’ back then. Oh that’s right! They wanted the next president to deal with the biggest shit pile in the history of America, you know, the shit pile that can still be seen via satellite.

And President Obama is being blamed for all of it! Yippee! He’ll be impeached by the end of the year and the republicans of America will rejoice! They have a lot of help too. Thanks conservadems for your patriotism. While the real criminals go free, you’re all going after the guy whose been in office for 2 months. Nice.

The neocons and the conservadems are too big to fail! Impeach, impeach, impeach to show us Americans how to impeach a president!

Somehow the idea that our President is in Wall Street’s pocket or somehow beholden to Messrs. Geithner and Sumner does not seem plausible to me. If I had, say, taken contributions from the Wall Street buccaneers or if they knew where any of my skeletons were buried, I’d start my term by denouncing them as creatures of the old Republican regime, as economic traitors, etc. I’d whip up public fury, unleash the fraud squad, audit books, sieze banks, and have daily perp walks featuring all of the self-proclaimed masters of the universe in succession. I’d make so much noise my own failings would never get a word on the nightly news. That’s what’s great about dramatic action in a crisis with nice larger than lie villains–even the tame media can’t ignore the drama.

I’d plan on coasting through my first two years talking about nothing else. I’d never have to take blame for anything during my first term, and, no matter what came of it all, I’d like my chances of ending my second term revered as America’s greatest president ever.

But instead we get this boring rank-smelling business as usual approach to the crisis, which has no political upside that a naif like me can see and is easy for the media and the Republicans to spin (just saw McConnell calling for ultimata and investigations–under my imagined scenario he’d be lucky to be on his way back home mounted on a rail and crudely dressed as a fowl by now).

So why this strategy? If our President sincerely believed that he is doing the right thing, he’d be dumber than I think possible.

So what gives?

I’d like to see more pressure on Rahm, and more transparency about HIS reality, too.

My guess is if I HAD that transparency, I’d want HIM sacrificed with some EVOO, garlic and lemon and rosemary over a hard wood fire, too . . . *G*

Thanks again for all you post and for your replies to my thoughts and comments.

Question is, what will be DONE about all this?

We KNOW the how, the who, the why.

Now, WHAT WILL BE DONE?
