1. What pisses me off is that the Obama administration

knows about this and still let it happened. The straw has broken the camels back.

[FedUpWithIt All]

3. "The straw has broken the camels back"

It was for me as well. The day i saw little kids swimming in the Gulf with oil sticking to their tiny legs was the day it snapped for me. And nothing i have seen since has really countered my growing fears about this administration. The real problem is that i no longer really know where i belong politically. I have a serious mistrust of those in power.

[DeSwiss]

5. Welcome to the club you two.....

...for me it was the day Obama announced that Larry Summers and Timothy Geithner were going to be a part of his "economic team" -- so I go back a-ways. Everyday since has only been a confirmation of my initial correct impression of an empty suit.


- Now I was a PK, and while I have definitely got my problems with religion, the truth in the statement "by their fruits you shall know them" was never truer.....

[OwnedByFerrets]

7. "Every day has been a confirmation" +1

[Lorien]

40. +2

How I wish it were otherwise. :(

[truedelphi]

9. Late Nov 2008, Someone explained Summers and Geithner to me,

And then I knew the fix was in.

But I kept moving the line in the sand, as after all, if there was a catastrophe, and McCain was in, he'd let the Powers that Be do what they wanted to do, wouldn't he? While Obama would at least be environmentally concerned...

April 27th 2010 or so, I saw that the line in the sand was really a sorry thing for me to have re-drawn. A snake is a snake is a snake, and I have no belief in our ability to restore this kleptocracy of a nation to a democracy.

[DeSwiss]

10. And it appears.....

...that this same strategy of comparing him against a much worse alternative is alive and well and working for 2012:

[truedelphi]

12. Now you have me clapping for that cartoon -

Which was funny, and thank you.

Except maybe I am trying to FLY?

[Hissyspit]

14. You have a problem with Summers and Geithner being nominated?

He hasn't even been sworn in! Give him some time, geez. :sarcasm:

[DeSwiss]

15. Little Timmy's hands.....

...still had warm blood on them from his role in this financial meltdown when he was given a promotion by Obama for helping to make so many people homeless. That made me truly sick. But when he shortly thereafter nominated that asshole Larry Summers as WH Economic Advisor (with meeting sleeping privileges), after I got finished throwing-up I immediately logged onto Change.gov and canceled by subscription.

- And then I uttered my very first "FUCK YOU OBAMA!!!"

"I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable and we
should face up to that." http://www.whirledbank.org/ourwords/summers.html">~Lawrence Summers, Chief economist of the World Bankin an internal memo, 12 December 1991

[truedelphi]

32. Gawd, DeSwiss, I did not know about that at all.

That quote made the hair on my head stand up.

[DeSwiss]

34. Yep.

And right after he made those comments he was tabbed by Bill Clinton to become the U.S. Treasury Secretary. I've said it before, and I'll say it again and again. the downfall of the Democratic Party began with the election of Bill Clinton. By the time Obama showed up there no longer was a Democratic Party. Just a shell.

There are only a handful of Democrats left now. Only a few who realize that politics is about class struggle. And nothing else. What passes for a Democratic politician these days would never even utter the words "class" for fear of losing his/her financial backers. And they would. Clinton ran away from his poor white background and Obama runs away from being black - at least half of him. Neither one acknowledges this unless it's to gain some kind of political points. Pathetic.

Meanwhile I'm still hanging around here -- for now. But I've come to the realization once and for all that the political process will never right the wrongs, nor come even close. It's too corrupted now -- beyond redemption. Capitalism (The Rich) corrupts everything in the end.

- Always have.

American liberals have been wailing and moaning like a bunch of dying cats in a hailstorm. HOW COULD THEY BE THAT STUPID? Well dammit, we've always been that stupid. So get over it. But from time to time at least we were lucky enough to have real leadership, people like Franklin Roosevelt who understood that politics is and always will be about class struggle. Rich as he was, he had enough character to stand up for social and economic justice. Hell, even Nixon wanted universal health care. It took a truly godless pack of jackals from Texas to finally bring down and savage the Roosevelt legacy.

The problem with the postmodern middle class and left is that they've forgotten about the class issue. Especially now that they are educated middle class citizens, urban dwellers, Jews and Germans and Italians and Irishmen, Asians and Poles, all far better off than their ancestors. They've come far from their Ellis Island roots and are now what is known as the "two shithouse Irish," in redneck parlance. Besides that, it's not easy for educated people with orderly lives to be on the side of overweight, undereducated, deeply indebted, and bitterly frustrated and prejudiced people, folks who have finally given up after being kicked in the ass one too many times. The system is so rigged against them that even those who strive seldom get out, which is in itself a lesson to others.

These people, the people of debt counselors, joint custody, repoed vehicles and mobile homes, have been lied to, cheated, and robbed, mocked on television, and now once again spat upon by their supposed betters, this time the angry liberals. Show me the party that represents them. Who could they have voted for that would have improved their situations? Let's face it, under the Democrats they would be getting screwed somewhat less (maybe), but they would not be getting ahead. In real wages they have lost ground under Dems as well as the GOP since 1973.

19. Those two AND Rahm Emmanuel

[DeSwiss]

35. Don't get me started on Rahm. n/t

[Kweli4Real]

29. Tell the truth ...

the breaking point for you all was the day after PRESIDENT Obama was sworn into office, when it became crystal clear that all of the world's ills, and those to come, would not be resolved to your liking.

[truedelphi]

33. No, what happened is this -

I realized that the Rahm, Summers, and Geithner appointments meant that this Presidency was owned lock stock and barrel by the very financial players who had destroyed the economy.

I had spent hours during the Financial Meltdown Version Autumn 2008, and especially due to DU member Autorank's careful construction of what was really taking place, I began to understand that the Financial Meltdown had nothing at all to do with the poor people who had bought housing at inflated prices. Rather it had to do with the the half quadrillion dollars worth of monies used by the Financial Players as a huge casino style bet on their internally created Swaps, derivatives, CDS'ses and other "management" of the portfolios. All this gambling had gone south, and through the Geithenr/Bernanke(Paulson) trieo, we tax payers had to fork over the monies to the Wall Street crowd.

I and many others on this board now know that Mr Autorank was right. We also know that as the recent rather superficial audit of the Federal Reerve has shown, the US Treasury and Federal Reserve have GIVEN AWAY some eleven to thirty trillion dollars to the Biggest Players on Wall Street. This means that "capitalism" is now officially DEAD. We have a socialism for the rich, or as others on DU call it a "kleptocracy."

Very little of the eleven to thirty trillion bucks is being used to create jobs... What has happened to the money? Well, for one thing, Goldman Sachs, a subsidiary that (Paulson)/Geithner/Bernanke trio all have played and worked so well for, is now the proud owner of a nature preserve in Patagonia. Look at any world globe and ask yourself how many people in Des Moines, Or Peoria, or NYC for that matter, are going to get jobs there in Patagonia...

As good ol' Dennis Kucinich said to Kashkari (Paulson's right hand man) during the Falol 2008 interrogation that Kucinich and Isssa put together as the heads of the Financial Oversight Committee in the House - "Mr Kaskari, I and the other members of this committee have no doubt that you are working hard. My question to you, sir, would be, "Just who are you working for?"

That video was widely distributed and on the Greatest Page during 2008.

I am deeply sorry that more people on DU don't take the time to visit the economics forum here, or spend the time to read all of Autorank's posts here. (Most of them are I imagine in his journal.)

Then more people would drop the ridiculous talking point that us progressives wanted a unicorn. What we want is for Mr Obama to make good on his progressive promises made in Oct 2008, to several different Wisconsin audiences. We want a return to a middle class democracy that doesn't set up our Biggest Financial players as untouchable charities to whom the American Tax payer must continually bail out, allow the means to secure tens of billions of dollars of bonuses, etc. And even if Obama divests himself from these policies, it is too late. We who are informed know who he is in bed with, and we are not going to be taken in by him again.

Like Kucinich said to Kashkari, I would say to Mr Obama "Mr Obama, I and the other members of the progressive movement have no doubt that you are working hard. My question to you, sir, would be, "Just who are you working for?"

[DeSwiss]

36. There's no way you could know the TRUTH about me.

So I know that your comment is -- to say the least -- incorrect. I will state again as I have above, that by the time Obama was sworn in as President I was beginning to have doubts. I've said that already because based upon the disastrous nominations of people he began announcing that he wanted for office in his administration. There was no way (as you say) "the world's ills, and those to come, would not be resolved to your liking" when he was intent upon enlisting the aid of the very same people who were largely responsible for the problems.

No, my breaking point was reached once I realized that Obama was a baldfaced liar.

And my disappointment with him and the political system in-general now extends much further. Now that I realize there aren't any politicians left out there who have a snowball's chance-in-hell at ever becoming President -- who aren't already bought and paid for just like him. Or worse.

- Now that's the truth......

[Kweli4Real]

38. Bald-faced liar, huh? Over-react much????

[Lorien]

41. Deswiss did tell the truth. You're the one in denial. nt

[rhett o rick]

2. k&r

[Uncle Joe]

4. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, FluxRostrum.

[DeSwiss]

6. The most telling statement above:

"Test most Dr's refuse to perform..."

I'm so old that I remember when people used to respect doctors and they even made the occasional house call. That was before the insurance industry along with the collusion of the government, turned doctors into money-grubbing hospital employees fighting for the best parking spot and the best tee-time.


- So now it's: "Fuck the Hippocratic Oath."

[deutsey]

8. Do no harm

to the corporate profit margin.

:evilfrown:

[peace13]

11. Beyond sad!

How is it that corporations can kill the planet for the rest of us with no recourse. Sickening.

[Ahpook]

13. And where in the hell do they think they are going to live?

Once they destroy whats left, them and their demon seed children have to deal with it as well.

Short sighted assholes have one thing on their mind.

[bertman]

16. The smart money says that BP will soon have the FDA designate Corexit to be a vitamin

REC.

17. Nice!

I dunno they are trying to make vitamins a prescription item, maybe they'll just put it in our drinking water to strengthen our teeth.

[ensho]

24. we must keep after the W.H. and Obama to face up to the truth of

the murder of the G. of Mex. and the govts. hiding of that truth.

[CrossChris]

25. Glad this is getting attention.

I'm passing it forward!

[snagglepuss]

26. I suspect the doctor's reputation will shortly be smeared and be

denounced as a conspiracy theorist. Many will buy into that because it is so hard for many to believe that something this serious to the health of so many would simply be covered up.

[Generic Other]

27. discredit, deny and distort

That's what I have seen happening.

[Generic Other]

28. This is important scientific data! So where are the naysayers and BP apologists?

1 part corexit for every 90 parts oil?

Seafood doesn't look oily but tests for high chemical contamination! If this woman can test seafood, so can BP and the government. Shame on them. More interested in profits than in protecting people's health.

[saras]

30. So here's what happens next...

We need to generate a bunch of junk science, fast, demonstrating that
* there is no pollution
* the pollution is harmless
* the polluters have fixed the problem

until that happens, we need to bribe some officials, pass some new laws relieving BP of responsibility, and smear the opposition out of power, influence, and their jobs, even if tenured professors of the sciences

just like we've done for the last hundred years...

31. Guardian: Tony Hayward's worst nightmare? Meet Wilma Subra, activist grandmother

From June:

Subra has met regularly with Obama administration officials visiting the Gulf. Earlier this month, she testified before a committee of Congress investigating the spill and its after-effects. History has shown responders to oil spills often suffer headaches and other symptoms, and in the long term are at higher risk of central nervous system damage, kidney and liver damage, and cancer.

[Blue_In_AK]

39. Not surprising.

Alaska's Riki Ott, who is a survivor of the EXXON VALDEZ spill and an expert, warned of this as soon as the Horizon blew out. There's no way in hell that Gulf or fish caught out of it are safe, and it sickens me that the government is saying it is. Obama should be ashamed of himself for perpetrating this lie.

[unapatriciated]

42. Thanks Flux kicking so others might see the truth
