Why was the Chase CEO who wanted to return the Tarp money made out to look like an idiot?

It is a good thing that they are financially healthy enough to return the funds. That antibiotic analogy was stupid because each bank doesn't have the same "illness" and some are completely healthy while others are in the ICU. Let the healthy ones check out of the hospital.

Say what you will about Satan, but at least he sticks to his beliefs.

Seecrit mooslim kenyan Messiah who is also Satan. I guess the good news for Obama is that he'll never be unemployed with those qualifications, no matter how bad the economy gets... entirely because of his own actions.

 
I_C_Weener [TotalFark] 2009-04-04 09:23:49 AM  
Personally, I prefer torches. Also, why is he frightening these banks with the public when he's already willing to terrorize them with firings and pay cuts? Wait...that is a great strategy. We'll call it the Batman strategy. Who are you more afraid of? The public with their pitchforks...or Obama with the pink slips?

Obama has been pretty open about his ties to our dark lord. After all, "Yes We Can" backwards is "Thank You, Satan."

Strange, it was his administration that let the Bonuses occur in the first place by not letting them restructure in bankruptcy court. Just wish most pitchforks actually paid attention.

From the article:

"At each place around the table sat a single glass of water. No ice. For those who finished their glass, no refills were offered."

That's how you know it's a serious meeting. What a joke this is all turning into...

I need to file a report with the irony police. Are we trying to say that the administration *is* LITERALLY "the pitchforks"?

 
cgraves67 2009-04-04 10:29:42 AM  
So he claims that he (a populist leader) can manipulate the people; converting them into a murderous mob with trenchant words or soothing their misplaced ire?

That Obama, always getting in our way.

Irony is a word that has an ever-changing definition.

NO WONDER Obama won't have Cheney prosecuted. Jeez.

 
netcentric 2009-04-04 10:38:11 AM  
closed meetings...where he says business must depend on his bigger government...

I wonder what backroom deals will come out of the administrations next six months.....and how much they will cost you.

That is too farking funny. I mean listening to it with out watching the video and reading the subtitles...it sounds like well gibberish. I guess it says a lot about the state of mind of the person who "interpreted" the gibberish though. So is every whack-job fundamentalist christian a closet homosexual or satanist?

cgraves67: So he claims that he (a populist leader) can manipulate the people; converting them into a murderous mob with trenchant words or soothing their misplaced ire?

How do you get that? He said nothing about "manipulating" anyone. What he said, or implied, was that if the bankers didn't cooperate with his administration's planned solution to the problem, the public was likely to rise up in its righteous anger and string these suckers up from the nearest lamp-posts. I.e., "You guys can work with us, or you can take your chances with the public."

Obama:

Muslim
Terrorist
Socialist
Unpatriotic
Non-citizen
AND
Satanist.

And you know what repubs? America STILL liked him better than your guy!

How's that taste?

 
Cornered Beef 2009-04-04 10:48:15 AM  
Why bother with TARP money anyway? The banks can always have new money created out of thin air and lend it to themselves at 0% interest.

I knew things were going downhill when Gibbs yelled "KILL THEM ALL! LET GOD SORT THEM OUT!" during Friday's press conference.

Since Obama isn't really an agent of change, rather a Democrat functionary, he really has no use for the pitchfork crowd. At best, they'll slow down his bailout agenda. At worst, they'll end up blaming him for the coming inflationary meltdown.

Eventually, they're going to figure out that all of his advisors (new window) are part of the establishments they hate.

I think he's just a Marxist idiot dreamer playing a Mutant Harvard Socialism classroom experiment with 300 million lives, and it ain't working right from the start. But I already knew that 2 years ago.
