I think it a bit of a stretch to blame any of this on Obama’s watch. If anything it was a bumbling idiot like GWB who was not watching the henhouse whether he knew better or not that got us in this mess. I am inclined to believe he was the dumbest president in history not being able to string seven words together to make a sentence nor keep his mind on the subject at hand. Perhaps he has unknown issues in his personality or brain and if so I apologize for poking fun at the disability. Now getting back to Obama, if anything the man is a genious and has shown he is well ahead of the curve on the intelligence meter. Yes he does have an agenda and it is not the conservative one and why should it be? Conservatives have been against the common man the entire last century. It it weren’t for those “progressive ” policies implemented years ago there would probably be bloodshed in the streets right now. Where in the hell is the average person on the street supposed to take care of his own health care, his own retirement, pay for a mortgage pay for education for himself and family while conservative policies over the years have gutted worker rights, led anti union activities which helped keep wages up, encouraged companies to take their high wage mfg jobs overseas, and encouraged foreign workers to come in and compete at poverty wages? Lets not forget the biggest beneficiary of these events were right wing corporate and typically conservative individuals. In my opinion the american worker should be looking at France instead of bashing it because if nothing else the French politician fears the French worker and the French population. That is what was intended in this country at its founding but somehow we have lost sight of this.

“A world full of other societies who would enjoy watching us fail and suffer.”

The party’s over Americans!
Wall Street and the Fed and the first jewish president will have you eating mud pies vely, vely soon.

And, yeah, the world waits with baited breath to see arrogant amerikans get a taste of what they’ve allowed consecutive government do unto others, in their name, all over the world.

It’s your turn now!

@Rechill, you bought it hook, line and sinker.
That article has nothing to do with Kunstler.
If you had been paying attention you’d have realized this before sticking your foot in it.

…”dynamically affable young man unburdened by deep cultural allegiance to Wall Street.”

Where did you pull that load of ignorance from?

This guy’s run by Chicago crime bosses and Wall Street money.

And allusions to allegiance to Islam, as if Islam is a real enemy, are misguided and untrue. This guy has been described by his Chicago Mafia handlers and puppeteers, such as Abner Mikvner, as the “first Jewish president.”

This has to be the worst string of mixed metaphors ever put together:
“Whenever the herd mentality lines up along a compass point leading to “permanent prosperity,” or a yellow brick road lined with green shoots, or something like that…”

It’s a miracle if anyone bothered to read on beyond the first paragraph. If ever their was a column crying out for an editor!

[Yeah, it's a wonder he sells all those books. And that's why you've written and sold so many! I vote this most productive comment on this board ever!--ed.]

The sad part has been that the obvious signs of unsustainable economics and government have been clearly present for 2 decades (with plenty of more subtle signs going back even further) and has only been cascading and growing with every passing year like a flash-flood coming down a canyon – it’s never been a question of if the impending disaster downstream was in the future but only how long people can be so stubbornly stupid to insist that the growing thunder is anything but a flash-flood bearing down upon them.

@Rechill – it’s a text interstitial ad – a random ad hit doesn’t mean causation or relation. If you saw (as I did a while back) a story about a Brazilian model losing her arms and legs to toxic shock and there happens to be an ad for a weight-loss system that claims to “shave off weight from your arms and legs”, does that have anything at all to say about the truth of the article? Are you really saying it would “destroy any credibility in the article author”? Grow up and get a clue!

Uh…”paychecks” are slang for dividends.

I don’t know which ones he recommends, but I have received monthly ‘paychecks” for years.

Check out a couple of my favs:
