Talk about a fuckstorm of the obvious. This guy was a disaster from the start. So AIG has to give out the bonuses because of some idiotic contracts? Were the UAW workers able to keep their salaries from being cut because of these things called "contracts"? You're god-damned right they weren't.
As for Geithner, he should go next if he doesn't clean up his act soon and get with the no-bonuses-for-thieves program. Jesus Christ this stinks.
As for political fall-out, the only threat to Obama's presidency should be from the left. To see this fake anger coming from corporatists like Richard Shelby is a total ruse. The "GOP" puke party is about as useful an opposition to this bailout mess as an arsonist is to help put out the fire he started. No, we don't live in that sane country that used to exist circa 1933. This two-party system is a sham and a failure; it has become too dangerous a thing to continue. If the Obama Fail = Republican Electoral Success meme is allowed to maintain monopoly status, well then, say good-bye to all of this "democracy" stuff and say hello to outright plutocracy. Yet that is where we live -- a place NOT where (sanely) opposition comes from the left in the form of, say, pusing for temporary nationalization of failed banks and other businesses -- but a place where the opposition fakes populist outrage and then when installed in power totally guts any and all regulation, taxation and fairness for those who need it most. Yes, that would be what we insanely and wrongly call the "Republican" party.
Topic: Republicans neither want a republic nor "can" do anything helpful. Discuss!
