I admit it. Can't step out of the spotlight for a few days to deal with this problem in person. Frankly, it does not make me feel good about what he chooses to delegate. this is the greatest crisis this country has faced in decades and his answer is "call me if you need me." Good lord.

Well here's some news that will REALLY tick you off...sm
As far as AIG goes? I heard on NPR last night that Sne. Dodd made an amendment for those "contractually obligated bonuses," which was in the bailout plan.
Here's the Dodd Amendment story: http://www.foxbusiness.com/story/markets/industries/finance/dodd-cracks-aig---time/
Also President Obama and Sen. Dodd were the two largest recipients of campaign contributions from the beleaguered company, and the only politicians to garner six-figure amounts from AIG in 2008 — $103,100 for Sen. Dodd and $100,332 for presidential candidate Obama.
Rest of the story is here:

Now how do you feel? As if we hadn't already figured it out, our govt is selling us and our earnings now and for a long time to whomever will give them the vote, the best deal, whatever. And this is supposed to be a democracy??? Like I said just wait............
Tick tock. I'm waiting, too.
LOVED the tick comparison!
sucking every last drop of blood out of us little guys who are little more to them than just cogs in the wheel.
