I am apalled at the way this country is going. It is so much worse than my wildest fears.
1) Plans to expand the government's ability to take over "important" institutions. It's not bad enough then can seize banks deemed to be in trouble but now Obama wants to seize insurance companies when deemed neccesary.
2) How can the president of the US demand resignation of the CEO of a corporation ? If I were in Rick Wagoners shoes (GM) I would have told Obama
to stick it. You may have been elected president by the rabble but you are not King.
3) How can princess Pelosi and Prince Reed make a law targeting a small specific group of people. AIG execs who got over $250K bonus will be taxed at a 90% rate. It's unfair and unconstitutional for the government to target any specific group with a law. How about this for a new law "Black people must pick cotten for free 6 months a year and can only ride in the last 3 rows of bus seats" It is no different. I'm as apalled as anyone over bonus' going to a failed company but thats not the fault of individuals. If I had a contract at AIG for 100K per year plus 3% commission on my sales and I did a good job, I deserve my 3%. Because the rest of the company failed it doesn't void my contract. A president should stand up for individual rights even against the mob with torches and pitchforks.
4) Today on Yahoo there is an article about how lovely Michelle Obama is on the trip to London. Her wonderful clothes, jewels, and style is lauded. I recall the liberal press just a few months back turned the fact that Sarah Palin having $175K in wardrobe and hair and makeup provided by the Republican Party for the campaign was a scandal. Wheres the outrage over American taxpayers beefing up Obamas closet ?
