He Just Keeps Agitating

Check out this article from the WSJ this morning. Absolutely unbelievable. Now the Obama administration is beginning discussions to see how they can set compensation practices across the entire financial services industry. This, by the way, includes those that did not take bailout money. How is an extreme political power grab by a president like this possible in America? This is the antithesis of what this country stands for. Between this and a national takeover of health care, this guy seems to think that he is some kind of king and we his know-nothing subjects. I was honestly in shock when I picked up the paper this morning and read this.

This jackass of a president just can't shake off the influences and mentors of his youth that trained him to be a community agitator. He keeps picking at the scab of the financial crisis, refusing to let it heal itself and it's really starting to piss me off. I really wish he would go on a speaking tour of Europe, Australia, Asia, and Africa. Nine months ought to do it. I know my 401k somehow does exceptionally better when he's out of the country.

And now I'm going to tell you what I really think.

I think this guy has absolutely no idea what he's doing. If he does, that's even worse. He actually believes that it's the job of the President of the United States to determine how much people are allowed to earn in the private sector? Like hell. He can't even manage to nominate people to his cabinet that pay their taxes, much less decide from on high how much this guy and that guy deserve to earn.

And Congress? They just passed a budget that has a nearly $2 TRILLION deficit. This group of goons is the most fiscally irresponsible group of people the world has ever seen, and they think they can instruct well-capitalized private businesses on how to not "threaten the company's viability"? I swear, I've never seen such an incompetent bunch of bumbling boobs. Folks, this is what's known as the blind leading the seeing.

Obama is quoted as saying that executive pay helped lead to a "reckless culture and a quarter-by-quarter mentality that in turn helped to wreak havoc in our financial system."

1. Politicians have no business criticizing any business person working quarter to quarter. Last time I checked, all these hypocrites up in Washington do the exact same damn thing election cycle to election cycle! They've either got to be pathological or complete morons.
   
2. How can King B.O. say with a straight face that financial institutions are the ones wreaking havoc when his party is spending our country into oblivion and systematically destroying the very foundational principles on which it was founded? All of our founders and framers have to be rolling in their graves right about now.

On top of that, they're not even just talking about pay for executives. Ben Bernanke says they're working on rules that will "ask or tell banks to structure their compensation, not just at the very top level but down much further". Absolutely appalling.

And they're not even done yet! They still want to take over health care. That's when they'll decide how much doctors are allowed to make as well. Don't worry, your job will come soon enough as well. There really is no limit to the power these people desire.

This whole thing literally makes me sick to my stomach to think about. The sad thing is many conservatives were warning about this sort of thing before the election, but so many Americans were (and still are) caught up in "hope and change" that they won't even realize what they're giving away until it's too late. They're giving away their liberty and freedom. Just think about it.

Obama is wanting to dictate what those who work in the financial sector can make. We all know that's just the beginning of this slippery slope given his background and ideology plus the fact that otherwise, he wouldn't be wanting to control those institutions that never took TARP funds and are fiscally sound. Next up he and his party want to take over your health care. Once they control your livelihood and your physical well being, that's it folks. They've got you by the short hairs and it's too late to ever go back.

I know this is a small blog with a very limited number of readers, but if you value your liberty, I strongly advise you to call your representative and senators and tell your family and friends to do the same. We've got to get in front of this while we as a people still can and tell the politicians that enough is enough.
