Ungrateful Bastards
Instead of vilifying and tearing down the new President, they should be down on their knees thanking him for saving capitalism, the stock market, and their ability to continue to rip people off to their own greedy ends.

But, they didn't thank FDR either. Then, we were on the verge of throwing out the entire system. The union movement was strong. As was the communist movement in this country. But FDR created the New Deal programs and that most likely saved the capitalist system at that time.

Just last September, the capitalists were scared to death. Alan Greenspan said it was the worst economy in 100 years. The credit markets had frozen. There were fears that employers would not be able to get the money to pay their employees. Common people were losing everything in their savings and 401K's. Even George W Bush came out to tell the American people that if they did not get $700 billion dollars immediately, the entire economic system could collapse. That is what Barack Obama walked into on January 20th, 2009.

Now that their heads are above water and they can take a deep breath once again, they seem to have forgotten those times. Barack Obama is a socialist. He is the "anti-Christ". He is everything evil about government. He needs to get out of the way and let Big Business and the Republicans figure out what is best for this country.

They are ungrateful bastards. He saved their asses. He saved the capitalist system. He saved their money. They should be thanking him instead of trying to crucify him.

2. Perhaps
they are not rational thinkers, or perhaps they are looking to promote another agenda. Or, maybe both.

4. They don't understand that every once in a while you have to throw the dog a bone
Otherwise, he may try to break loose from his chain.

3. kentuck: were ever the proverbial nail hit squarely on the head, you've
hammered it by showing 'puke hypocrisy, indecency, and evil know no absolutely bounds and 'pukes will not be satiated until everything good about this country and its founding principles is destroyed and its people enslaved in economic bondage to wealthy interests. :D
