Obama’s greatness shines through on first day

[partypup]

“It’s almost as if TPTB are trying to stir up racial tensions with their over-the-top and increasingly annoying references to Obama’s race: parading him around in the media as a veritable “hip hop” president, cloaking him in the MLK garb, packing his inauguration with high-profile black entertainers — and now this idiocy from Reich, which is a shameless attempt to patronize blacks while clearly inviting a blowback from whites.
For what purpose? Insanity.

Would TPTB rather have racial wars or people storming Goldman Sachs and the Fed with pitch forks and torches? Divide and conquer.”

Good point, A. It does smack of a divide-and-conquer strategy.

And the strategy is brilliant in another way: blacks, who could be reliably counted upon for eons to view government and their leaders with suspicion, the people who would be most likely to rise up under these brutal economic conditions, have been CO-OPTED by TPTB who are exploiting their racism and their desperate need for a role model. Far from being wary of Obama and his cozy relationships with elite power brokers, they are completely enthralled with him. If Obama left them lying in a gutter, peniless and starving, blacks would still crawl and grope their way to the polls in 2012 to give the man another chance to screw them.

My question is, why the hell can’t the REST of America wake up and rise up against the forces that are so obviously and shamelessly manipulating and oppressing them? Greece, Bulgaria, Latvia — all over the world, people are literally UP IN ARMS about this crisis. But back here in ObamaLand, as the skies are darkening around us and the chasm widens to swallow us whole, we are content to watch the Prom King and Queen waltz their way through TEN inaugural balls in the most expensive presidential ceremony in U.S. history ($160 million, four times more than any other inauguration).

WTF??? Are we in Versailles?? Scratch that. Even Versailles wasn’t this offensive, because France wasn’t as friggin’ BROKE as we are.

Don’t we have the stones to at least behave as the Icelanders do? If 200,000 mild-mannered folk on a chunk of volcanic rock in the middle of the Atlantic can take to the streets and vent, why the hell can’t we?

The people in this country had best get their acts together soon, or the next stop on the Obama Love Train is going to be a set of concentration camps with *hope* and *change* banners strewn about the rafters and a fresh pitcher of cyanide Kool Aid(paid for with bailout funds, of course).

“Iceland’s government is on the point of collapse as angry protesters stake out the Parliament in Reykjavik

While Barack Obama was being sworn in to office on Capitol Hill yesterday, the people of Iceland were starting the first revolution in the history of the republic. The word “revolution” might sound a bit of an overstatement, but given the calm temperament that usually prevails in Icelandic politics, the unfolding events represent, at the very least, a revolution in political activism.”

12 years old? I was going for 14.

You know, at first I was disappointed in this Geithner guy as well, but the more I think about, the more I think it was a genius pick. As usual, and as I explan below, BHO is way ahead of you plebes.

Here’s what I think the Big O did: He of course recognizes that we are in an economic crisis. And, he recognizes that there is value in continuity during an economic crisis. He didn’t want to panic the stock market, so he picks Geithner. Geithner is flawed, but he’s not going to spook the stock market.

But, and try to stay with me here, Geithner is just a figurehead. He isn’t going to be making the economic decisions. Obama and his Economic Advisory Team will be making the decisions. Geithner is nothing more than a figurehead and an errand boy who will carry out those decisions.

Once this crisis passes, Geithner will be asked to resign and a new, more palatable Treasury Secretary will be brought in.

Gawwwwdddddamn that Obama’s a smart pickle.

Breeze: Are you listening to yourself?

“At first I was disappointed when I learned that Geithner was a lying scumbag hyprocrite and a crook, but then I talked myself into believing that everything happens for a reason in the “Big O”‘s administration, and since the “Big O” is perfect in every way, the appointment HAD to be a stroke of genius.”

Wrong.

Picking a tax cheat isn’t genius, just as picking a crooked Commerce Secretary (Richardson) who was knee-deep in a lobbyist investigation wasn’t a stroke of genius. It’s just sloppy and shows that the “Big O” has more interest in paying back the friends who paved his way into office and much less interest in properly vetting these criminals.

Do you seriously think that Obama intended to appoint a man who committed fraud solely for the purpose of “riding” out the crisis until he could bring on a more “palatable” (what does that mean, someone who hasn’t cheated on their taxes??) Treasury Secretary? In what warped universe does this sound like a stroke of genius? How does this in any way instill much-needed confidence in a crisis? if this is a sample of the sort of twisted reasoning that we can expect from the “Big O”, then we are in much worse shape than even I thought.

Look, I hate to break it to you, but the “Big O” doesn’t have a plan. He’s not one step ahead of anyone. He’s the equivalent of a silly kid sitting at a big desk while the teacher looks over his shoulder. The “Big O” won’t be making any decisions. The people who REALLY elected him (you know, the recycled Beltway drones he appointed and the deep pockets that came up with the $200,000 checks — not the $25 contributions you made) are going to be making all of the decisions.

And for the record, the “Big O” and Geithner are both just figureheads. Every move they make in this crisis will be orchestrated by the Fed, the IMF and the heads of the remaining global banks.

“Here’s what I think the Big O did: He of course recognizes that we are in an economic crisis. And, he recognizes that there is value in continuity during an economic crisis. He didn’t want to panic the stock market, so he picks Geithner. Geithner is flawed, but he’s not going to spook the stock market.”

Not going to spook the market? Even that shameless hack Cramer realizes Geithner is a bad pick:

“Cramer’s been anti-Geithner since learning the New York Federal Reserve president played a key part, along with former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, in the collapse of Lehman Brothers. The market’s been struggling to regain its footing ever since.”

“He is the copilot who crashed the plane,” Cramer said of Geithner’s work with Paulson.

Yep, that’s definitely the kind of guy you want around to soothe the market. Obama is not a smart pickle, but he is certainly IN a pickle.

It will be interesting to see what happens when you and the other 60 million folks who swept him into office finally realize that he is going to repay you with a nice, long screw, which I estimate will be coming this summer or fall, at the latest. I sincerely hope that at least a portion of the next round of bailout money includes psychological counseling for former Obama supporters.
