Change is NOT Coming

How much is the fucking inauguration going to cost, while the recession/depression persists?

So much for change.

    Hey asshole. When clinton retired we had a surplus and was expected to have a huge surplus in 10 years.

    Guess where we are 10 years later? I want more of the Clinton years.

    Go suck a cock and gtfo out of america if you voted for McCain just to vote republican. Your not a real patriot, just a moron. People like you bring down this great nation to where we are like the Nazi’s for torturing.

    Clinton did a great job while in office. Now look at us. We are fucked. I hope obama makes America great again. I also hope fucktards like bush and his idiotic cronies never get in power again.

    We have suffered enough.

    I agree, there is no change, its as real as Global Warming. I mean look they are already trying to prosecute the outgoing administration, what the fuck change is that. Take that money and time and fix the fucking credit crisis you fucking cock sucking homos. I am so fucking sick of this change, hope, dream and cum guzzling talk. Enough already get to fucking work and stop with the show. Donate that fucking inauguration money to fucking help the poor, that’s a fucking change that can be seen. Quit paying for 10,000 shit shelters and fake columns and open some fucking soup lines already.

    Besides the office of the president is manipulated any way. There are so many outside forces that determine what will happen in government and what the President will do. Also this HUGE Hollywood affair going on this week is ridiculous, I agree why not donate all of the money to the poor, that would set a good example.

    A quick reminder of why you supported the bailout (like I did).

    The payments/credit system had basically closed up. Remember?

    I c can’t believe fuckers like you Fly. You fucking well vote for the Dems then you act all surprised pulling up your skirt in shock with their stupid economics and the fact that they’re suddenly spending zillions on a party.

    How fucking shocking is that hey? Well not much if had bothered to focus a little on who you vote for next time. So stop whining. You got exactly what you voted for.

    Shocked you are that the spending is going to work?

    Well beat me down with a stick., Fly finally figured that Keynesian economics is a heap of shit.

    Ron paul is not an idiot. You can’t foresee the biggest fuck-up on earth when every so-called guru gets his ass roto-rootered and get called an idiot just because the fucktard media and the double fucktard electorate can’t pick up what you’re laying down. Fucking obummer had no idea that the economy was the number one issue until after everyone else did. He is an asshole keynsian. He will fail. You can’t unfuck a pregnant chick and you can’t unfuck this country. Fuck you and the sheep you impregnated.

    Will you guys relax already, its only 1.750 Trillion dollars and its going to create like 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 jobs. For fuck sakes, its not like he is spending a Quadrillion yet, and even if he was that would make what like 1 googol (the measure) jobs. Barack the Builder is going to rain down hope, change, love and even Larry Sinclair’s cum which will allow us all to pay for the bullshit that we consume each day. He will even plant a tree for each of us that will eliminate the Global Cooling that is going on in this fucking freeze box I am in. Embrace change.

    A wise man once told me, when you want to persuade someone, look at talking to their self-interest. So I wrote this on the 0.25% tax:

    However put all of the above aside. The aim of this legislation is to make Wall Street pay for their sins right? Let’s look at the impact to a typical middle-class American family that saves and invests for their retirement and their kids’ college tuition. 0.25% doesn’t seem like a lot right?

    With each round-trip costing around 0.50% (2Xs 0.25%), just a few trades could deduct 1.5% from a family’s assets each year. The insidious nature of a percentage-based tax is that every 1.5% taken away is 1.5% of money that will never grow and compound in the future. Over 40 years assuming a rate of 8% annual return, this tax will cause the middle-class family to have 45% less money for their retirement. You can adjust the numbers down or up even to no annual return or 1% deduction, but the no matter what you plug-in this tax will penalize middle-class investors with a huge chunk of their savings over time.

    I have this feeling that bears need to be careful on Tuesday, if they have not already covered and gone to cash. The sight of millions of people praising the Messiah could cause irrational giddy behavior with people thinking that BHO has a magic wand and a rally could take place. If there is a rally it will only suck in the pikers only to have their nuts cut off shortly there after. We retest the lows IMO. More layoffs to be announced and unemployment will hit 10% at least.

    Well good, Fly. That’s a start. If he goes ahead with some of his policies he sure is a fucking moron.

    What did Bush do that he is such a moron, Fly.

    He took over when there was a recession- the tech crash- which really belonged to Clinton and he’s leaving with another recession.

    He stopped the first one with a tax cut. He didn’t get off lightly with the second one.

    Prez’s have little say about the economy as they can’t prevent recession as that job really belongs to the Fed.

    Bush didn’t do such a bad job with the economy anyway. Let’s not beat around the Bush here.

    In 6 months time we may be wishing for Bush’s return.

    You suggested we are going to have a trade war with China. Now Bush would never get us into that situation.

    Bush’s fault was that he wasn’t Reagan.

    The other choices were that big fat blubbering socialist, Al preacher gore and the idiot he ran against in 2004.

    Both those dead shits were useless. However Gore would have put the country in a depression after the tech crash. The fat piece of shit would have destroyed America with his hysterics on AGW.

    Watch the O’man’s environmental team- hand picked by Gore- fuck the economy big time and then come back and tell me how bad Bush has been.

    Carol Browner- the EPA- is the biggest dirtbag socialist ever. In fact she was a member of the socialist party.

    The Hollywood elite “limousine liberals” are putting on one hell of a show (via HBO) desecrating the Lincoln Memorial.

    As usual, the biggest Obama donors are up there in front row, by the heaters, and behind the bullet-proof glass.

    What person of color, or mixed race, haven’t they run through the line-up yet?

    They should run a midget up across the stage, have they yet?

    What the FUCK happened to this country?

    They have jacked up this new “president guy” so fucking far, he will NEVER be able to live up to all the bullshit.

    The reality is, this new administration is already ankle deep in corrupt appointees.

    Lets see where his track record ends up a year from now.

    The $160M number for Obama includes security, overtime, cleanup, setup, everything. The party itself is about the same as what the Bush kegger cost, about $40M. If security etc were added to the Bushco cost it would total about $157M. Do your homework.

    Security is a major issue for this inauguration, plus it’s a historic event. Personally I think we should celebrate the historic occasion. The eyes of the world are on America because we broke with our past and elected Obama. The economic issues are only part of everything that makes up our country. We do a lot of things wrong, and yet, a lot of things right, and I’m lovin’ the USA right now.

None of our leaders save a precious few voices in the wilderness have seen them growing. They are all failures and fuckwads. No point even trying to differentiate between repubs and dems. If you do, you’re just signalling that you don’t know what’s up. Politics is a distraction. Money is what matters. Money is now fucked. Lest you yourself be fucked, figure out a way to navigate the seas of turd.

    You realize what you’re saying, right?.

    You’re saying that the only way for whitey to show black Americans s/he isn’t racist is to elect a black dude and spend 160 big ones to prove it during a deep recession.

    How much lower can white self esteem get.

    No offense to you personally but that’s how most whites liberal are thinking.

    Here’s what I’m thinking. the way to prove whites aren’t racist is to treat him the same standards we expect of ourselves which means there’s a freaking recession on and the dick shouldn’t be spending that kinda money.

    Imagine the NYTimes if a GOP prez elect spent that kinda money on an inauguration during this time…. they’d be wheeling out the hungry kids in a NY minute.

    Among the possible easing measures cited by the Nikkei newspaper in an editorial in its online edition and economists at Credit Suisse’s Tokyo office were:

    *
    Increasing the growth of the money supply to loosen credit.
    *
    Broadening the range of securities the central accepts as collateral to include equities. It currently accepts government and corporate bonds when providing credit.
    *
    The central bank funding a separate entity that purchases stocks in the open market. The concept is similar to the Japan Joint Securities Co., which was established to buy stocks during the market downturn in the1960s.

    The central bank is expected to keep its benchmark interest rate at 0.1

    As I said, Monetary expansion has to come from asia and Europe

    Anybody who knows shit about anything knows Ron Paul was a fucking God-send. But Americans are too fucking brainwashed to even know when Jesus is knocking on their front door. Obama is just handing more power to the asshats who got us into this mess. Sometime in the next five years I’ll be hunted down like a fucking jackal for writing this, because my psychopathic fellow aMer3ekaNs like to vote for pro-communist power-humpers who think they are living Gods. So fuck it all.

    Change is Coming and he is Obama the charlatan and a man of trickery. He arrived in Washington, D.C.using the rail train and the exact route that Abe Lincoln had used to get to D.C.

    Ok, that’s endearing in a creepy kind of way. Obama will be using Abe’s bible to take the oath of office. I do wish Abe’s isn’t being channeled and he and Obama plan on paying back the slave masters.

    “The Messiah” desires to be the ruler of the world that is after he walks on water. The population will be instructed to suck on the kool aide lollipops that can be purchased with the new obama food stamps, 1st edition with his face on both sides of the coin. Ah, nothing like a two-sided coin to warm the cockles of my feet.

    Obama clearly states we will all be treated fairly. It is intended that we “The fortunate” will be rewarded for our brilliance and hard work by imposing higher taxes so that he Robin Hood can uplift his minions less fortunate and give them a pay raise in their welfare checks. Once this is achieved we can all hang out at our local welfare office holding hands singing we are the world.

    I studied the Obama arrival at the Lincoln Memorial waiting in anticipation for something meaningful to happen, like the heavens open, pigs flying or Abe dismounting his bronze chair they fuse together in a magnetic invisible filed, and before our blinded eyes they become “The One”

    Much to my chagrin I was wildly disappointed that this “all inclusive messiah” would sell the rights to HBO for 5 million dollars and exclude his poor minions who voted him into Office from watching their messiah on TV. Unless they were willing forfeite their food, clothing, booze, Micky D’s to pay for HBO. I fear he is a fake god.

    Obama is a fraud and to sell the rights to HBO sucks. Not everyone especially during these hard times has HBO. So much for the man of the people
