Blame Kissenger, Nixon, Bush Sr, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush Jr, and the GREEDY Wall Street Machine. Wall Street is simply an example of what living the American Dream will do to the rest of us. Go ahead and use 1/3 of the worlds resources and see what happens.
If anyone blames OBAMA you are a silly little fool with no patience. what goes awry for 20 plus years can not be fixed by Obama in 2 months. So kindly ignore the 1st ammendment and shush if you believe that. Government never claimed to be perfect but with Barrack in charge I feel like there is a future again. Thats a lot more than could be said for anyone on the list above.
No one is really blaming the President outright; it's simply that this critical period is unprecedented in recent history, and that he and his administration's current decisions and inevitable gaffs -- "Messiah" to the hoi polloi, Obama is capable of error -- can adversely impact the next decade down the road, both here and abroad, when he's cashing in on his third memoir (we'll see how Europe treats him at the G20 Summit -- the fellating may finally be over). I did notice, however, that thirty years of only right-wing figures were conveniently represented in your harangue, without including decades of democratic congresses and two terms of Bill Clinton (who I had voted for -- Bubba!) with his wanton deregulation of the banking system. Both parties are equally culpable.
How about some currently responsible figures on the stage and not dredge up dinosaurs from before I was teething? Let's blame the failure of the Weimar Republic for Germany's ills while we're at it? Get your head from out of Obama's lap, if just for a moment. How about Senator Dodd in bed with AIG or Barney Frank -- up to his ***-less leather chaps in Fannie May and Freddie Mac?
