Why the bitches do not realize that they are being screwed on a regular basis is beyond me.....though from what I have seen from the likes of sub rob,locked and sanity I am leaning towards a pronounced lack of intelligence excacberated by a hatred for that spurious entity known as "others"
So very fucking sad.

Heber Springs, Ark. — Some time ago a western movie portrayed a bunch of outlaws who botched up every attempt to pilfer money.  They were known as the “Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight”.  Today we have their soul mate in the Obama administration.  That western gang couldn’t hit a barn door in front of them, but at least they didn’t look down the barrel of their own pistol to determine why it misfired.
In his desperate attempt to find a villain that everybody would hate, Obama decided he has a real winner if he could combine big corporations and big Republican bankers.  As President Obama said in January, “I didn’t take this job to look after fat-cat bankers”.  As so often the case his team of inept researchers and advisors failed to determine who put him in power and who has been backing his socialistic programs.  Who but fat-cat Democrat bankers.
Consider this chart that shows who backed Obama and the Democrat congress and whose actions they now disapprove:

2008 Contributions to Federal Candidates
From Employees and PACS

                                Democrats      Republicans
Goldman Sachs            77%                 23%
Citigroup                       65%                 35%
J.P. Morgan Chase       63%                 37%
Morgan Stanley            57%                 43%
Bank of America           59%                 41%

You think this chart proves something? What exactly do you think it proves?

Did you notice how this includes all donations from all employees? That includes all the $5 and $10 donations bank tellers etc. made. If you limit it to VP and equivalent ranked employees you will find a very different story and if you examine the same data in 2010... oh wait you can't since Citizens United. Wonder who had hundreds of millions of dollars to give to super PACS?

It proves financial industry votes their interest. Obama has delivered big, so did president W. Clinton.

The proof is in the pudding, Puddin...I showed mine, you show yours.

Innit funny how the same "Advisers" who advised Bush, now "advise" Obama?

Obama has lost the Senior vote, the Veteran's vote, and the Independant's vote and you can't win without anyone of those groups.
I'm sure that the N.Y. Times could hire Jason Blair back and make a poll saying that all those groups are "for" Obama but it's not going to do any good.
The year 2012 will certainly be a year of "change."

"Bill Maher, brought to you by the liberal left, remember, feel, don't think, because your government is here to take care of you."


Your sigline is correct, especially if you are a gambling, greedy, capitalist scum on wall street. Especially if you are investing in the military/industrial portfolio and especially if you are a farmer and banker. So the govt., us taxpayers...feel their pain too and have taken care of them.

It's called socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor.

You're totally right. The Seniors are going to vote for the side that wants to slash Medicare, the Veterans are going to vote for the party that voted to cut assistance for homeless vets, and the Independants are going to vote for the side signing Christian purity pledges.

How could I not see this before.

If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you're not a racist, then you need to vote against Obama in 2012 to prove you're not an idiot.
If you're not a liberal by 20 years of age you don't have a heart, and if you're not a conservative by 40 years of age you don't have a brain.
