I cannot believe we are allowing a Lehman Bros. executive to oversee the spending of this bloated bullshit bill. This completely illegal, pseudo fascist, pseudo socialist raping of our country. I cannot in good conscience vote for ANY politician who supported the illegal use of taxpayer money to pay off private financial institutions without due compensation to the tax payers.

It is INSANE. This country is treading on very very dangerous waters.


I have to agree with your outrage over the bailout but I think that at the economic point the US was at it had to be done. If there was no bailout the potential global economic collapse could have been the worse since the 1930's.

I don't really agree with the bailout, but I am no financial expert. I am definitely pissed off that AIG spent $440,000 on a spa trip after we loaned them $85 billion, especially when they are now asking for an additional $37.8 billion.

Like I said, I'm no expert, but when Warren Buffett supported the bailout as the best option, how can I question that? I certainly don't have a better idea.

Here's the Daily Show's take on "undecided voters".

I found it very funny. :)

This video is linked on the comedy central blog. It's about Rednecks for Obama.

Ahh, what a pure gem of folksy rural wisdom:
