Lock Stock and Barrel

So while we all sit back and worry over some Mexicans trying to sneak into America to do work that you no longer can get a teenager to do (Canadian's sneak in too but go back when you ask them, politely). And everyone wants to start drilling for oil because "that is how we can solve the energy crisis". Even though it is mathematically impossible for US oil to have any impact on global prices, and unless the offshore drilling bill has SPECIFIC language that says the oil MUST be only used in the US, it won't do anything for us.
BUT we still all worried about these things and lo-and-behold...America has been purchased lock-stock-and barrel! Here are the latest figures from Fortune magazine, and somehow butt heads (let me rephrase that) TRAITORS on Wall Street think it is a good thing.

"Of particular note is whether the KDB (Korean Development Bank owned by the Korea Government) would buy Lehman outright or simply take a big stake. The past year has been busy for sovereign wealth funds and financial companies hit hard by the collapse of the credit bubble. Singapore's Temasek has made two multibillion-dollar investments in Merrill Lynch (MER, Fortune 500), the state-run China Investment Corp. has put $5 billion into Morgan Stanley (MS, Fortune 500) and Abu Dhabi has forked over $7.5 billion for a big hunk of Citi (C, Fortune 500)."

How did this happen? Easy. The Traitors on Wall Street only care about quarterly numbers, what will make THEM the most money right now, with no regard for the future of the Country. Why are they Traitors? The most money to be made BY THEM right now is in "short selling". Betting that companies will LOOSE money (and the traitors make money). How F'ing UN-AMERICAN is that!!? They say "I bet that Mr and Mrs Retired are going to loose their life savings", so I can make money. That is what has happened to our Country. And then they complain when the SEC says no more naked short selling. I actually saw quotes from Wall Street Traitors saying it was UnAmerican to regulate them. They need to be strung up, shot, drawn and quartered. These are the Traitors that have said "there is not enough margin to manufacture in the US. We are a nation of consumers." That is an actual quote from one of those supposed finacial wonders. How did America loose its place in the economy of the World? The Traitors on Wall Street decided it didn't give them enough of a return. Now they all seem to be worried that if Obama wins they will have new regulations placed on them. We tried it "de-regulating" them, (and I was for it.) but the fact of the matter is; unchecked they become crooks. Maybe it is time to reign it all back in again.

We have to take a very hard look at this election cycle. The current politicians have messed this country up to the point that Russia whom, (last time I checked we "defeated" in the Cold War) told us to mind our own business when they invaded Georgia (the Country) and then bent to the pressure of FRANCE.
The time has come to make changes. And now... McCain can't remember how many houses he owns...what BS arrogance is that? Right now, I think Obama might be the choice. He has the least amount of baggage and lobbyist influence. I just KNOW that McCain is to old; never finish his term, to tied to Washington, to tech unsavy; My God do we want a President in this age that has NO idea how to use a computer, if the phone rings at 3am I want a President that will know how to answer it. Not wonder what all the buttons are for. And don't think this has anything to do with "parties". I think they are both wrong on all accounts and should be banned! I am not alone in this George Washington in his Farewell Address, warned us that political parties will hurt our Country.

"...Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight), the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.
It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.
... But in those of the popular character, in governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be by force of public opinion, to mitigate and assuage it. " (George Washington;1796)

The system is now officially broken. It's time to make this Country work again or we soon will be asking someone like Bulgaria for economic aid (and probably asking in Chinese).
