Through and Through
By Johnny Roosh
As in a party and a cabinet that is corrupt, through and through. Senator Dodd’s wife: ties to AIG. Barney Frank’s lover: ties to Fannie Mae.
Now this:
One of those allegedly asleep-at-the-switch board members was Chicago’s Rahm Emanuel—now chief of staff to President Barack Obama—who made at least $320,000 for a 14-month stint at Freddie Mac that required little effort.
As gatekeeper to Obama, Emanuel now plays a critical role in addressing the nation’s mortgage woes and fulfilling the administration’s pledge to impose responsibility on the financial world.
Emanuel’s Freddie Mac involvement has been a prominent point on his political résumé, and his healthy payday from the firm has been no secret either. What is less known, however, is how little he apparently did for his money and how he benefited from the kind of cozy ties between Washington and Wall Street that have fueled the nation’s current economic mess.

Facts are stupid things, eh wingnuts? Here’s some change for ya:
US STOCKS-Wall St rises as economic data fuels optimism

To spell it out for you, investors responded positively to President Obama’s economic plans. Specifically, the change from the previous administration would be an improving economy, rather than one headed quickly down the shithole.
It’s a shame for you America haters, of course, but it looks like the market’s showing it’s biggest monthly gain since 1974. Too bad you kooks responded to the election by buying more guns instead of mutual fund shares.

TheDOW was at 11,000 six months ago. Talk about change!!!
Typical of AssClown to defend the corruption of the Obama administration and to support the Obama same old Washington as usual and corrupt Chicago style politics.

11,143 to be precise, Gay-Wad. Down from !4,164 in Oct. 2007. And it dropped down to 7949 on Shrub’s last day as “president.”
The Dow closed at 7924 today, you silly git, meaning that with one more decent day’s trading, people who invested at the start of the Obama administration would have actually made money, rather than hemorrhaging it out the anus, as they’d gotten used to in the past couple of years.

In fact, the Dow was higher on the day Shrub was inaugurated in 2001 than the day he left office eight years later. You wingnuts have to hope they create a secondary market for stupid one day, cause that’s the only way you’ll ever make money.

With people like Emmanuel, Frank, and Dodd running the economy what could possibly go wrong?
March 26th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
ah. so by clown logic, America was firmly behind the Bush’s economic plan until Oct 07. So anyone who had anything bad to say about him would have hated America?

What was the tax rate on that money Rahm earned from Freddie Mac? Think Congress will go after that?
March 26th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Taxes are for little people, Night Writer.
I’m sure that’s what Whiny Clown would say.
“Wah! Wah! It’s not fair! You guys are picking on rich, tax raising democrats just because they are tax dodgers!”

AC 1st sez
“Wall St rises as economic data fuels optimism”
but then sez
“investors responded positively to President Obama’s economic plans. ”
which is it bozo? economic data or hopey changey?
March 26th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
The good economic news was accrued last month.
So while the libs want to blame last months crappy DJIA on Bush, they insist that the good data from last month is due to Obama’s economic policy.

From Angry “What? Did you question my patriotism?” Clown:
you America haters
I guess this is “nuance”.
March 27th, 2009 at 5:17 am
Gee Mitch, can you find any example of Angryclown whining about having his patriotism questioned? It’s your blog and all – bet you could dig up a link if that ever happened. Clownie don’t play dat.
Angryclown sees no reason to impose rhetorical restrictions on himself, now that you far-right types have been defeated, that you chose not to observe when you ran everything. What comes around goes around. Angryclown will continue to point out the rooting for failure that goes on here, especially from Roosh.

Hey Assclown, the markets are forward looking, they were reacting to the upcoming Obama Oligarchy months ago. Hell, they knew Obama would beat Palin in the November election.
The economy should survive in spite of Obama’s Liberal Fascism and the markets might react as such while scooping up on a few good stocks. Here is a clue, Assclown, buy low and sell high.

If you take a look at the way larger financial institutions make political donations, they play both sides of the aisle. This makes it very problematic for there to be any kind of effective regulations of these entities.
We can only hope that this current crisis has presented an opportunity where those entities being more vulnerable may make it possible, in conjunction with public ire, to renew the kind of regulation that reduces fraud and unfair practices, creating a better more healthy ‘playing field’ for competition and other market forces to function the way they should.
