Agree. Great Douchebag collection. Humperdink takes the cake as the most ignorant douche of them all.

Re: People's Weekly World - Auto workers left with no bailout

Years of making an poor product, while being overly compensated with benefits few could imagine does not evoke sympathy from the average working class citizen. Feeling left out when your head is your butt with opportunities flying by is not a great approach to success. At least the crooks responsible for the Wall St. meltdown (http://www.youtube.com/watc... are proactive enough to realize they can be part of the solution.

Great site. Glad I found it. Hard to understand the logic these days with Obama & co ousting a GM exec then only to bitch slap the usual suspects on Wall St responsible for the meltdown. Speaking of which, there's a good rendition on youtube you may want to add to your site > http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Hard to understand any logic these days with the financial crisis. How can Obama & co oust GM exec Wagoner then bitch slap the usual suspects on Wall St responsible for the meltdown. Illustrated very well in this youtube vid:http://www.youtube.com/watc...

We can only hope the double standard stops, turns left and picks on the corrupt behavior of all corporate banks.

It's an interesting approach Obama/Geithner are taking with the Banks. I doubt the recent market swoon is any real indication of success given the approach. What's confusing me is that there buying these 'toxic assets' which is kind of what led to the meltdown in the first place. http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Let's hope it's a short leash for those banks that take the bait.

Obama prefers to keep his enemies close and Geithner and his toxic asset plan is right next door. Why else would he not be the guy given that he was a player in meltdown to begin with: http://www.youtube.com/watc.... Once Cheney is finished complaing about national security, perhaps Barack & co will hire him to be the senior Wall Street ethics advisor.

Very astute comparison. It's obvious - he's threatening to name names for those that were responsible for the meltdown > http://www.youtube.com/watc...

and those that took the bailout bucks.

Hyperbole is what led the Wall St. brain-trust to the meltdown in the first place > http://www.youtube.com/watc....

It's just a poll and what stands out is the positive numbers in light of the taxpayers distaste for Wall St. Apparent is the patience these pollers must have for the somewhat confusing 'toxic asset' plan Geithner has dangled. Likely the numbers go down as more folks begin understand how that will work.

Great perspective Michael. Here's a clever recap put together by a Wall St. broker on this mess: http://www.youtube.com/watc...
