Your's and Archaea's homoerotic obsession with Obama has got to stop. Y'all had it since the campaign and haven't been able to kick it. Go talk to your bishop or see an addictionologist. I know this is an anonymous message board, but still, there is such thing as etiquette.

Are you as critical of Anderson Cooper?

Am I the only one thinks it a little odd that a closeted homosexual like Anderson Cooper says that TeaParty protesters can't talk because they are "teabagging"?

If you don't know what it means, look it up on Urban Dictionary.

I only call it like I see it. You and others the one on your knees, worshiping or doing who knows what else.

I grew up in San Francisco but no one came out in HS back then. A year or so ago I approached a good-looking lesbian who said outright to me, "I'm a dyke." I was startled because I hadn't heard that word in so long and thought it was derrogatory. Turns out she grew up in the Church.

Obama has taken a big step forward by detaching Wall Street's welfare from main street and by recognizing that finance-led growth cannot lead to true prosperity. But still.

The election business is nonsense, Waters' imagination is quite amazing.

"Ties" does not equal "beholden." I find it very amusing that just a month ago, people like Arch were saying that Wall Street clearly hated Obama and his policies because "look at the Dow!" Now the story is that Wall Street is Obama's puppeteer. The truth is much more in the middle of those two extremes.

I believe he's bad for Wall Street and he doesn't understand what needs to be done in order to restore the vitality for our financial markets. And I believe the article's author makes a very cogent argument pertaining to how piggish the Lords of the market are. However, due to Obama's socialistic tendencies, tendencies for central government economic planning and aversion for true financial independence he will dance with the Democratic oligarchy. You, good sir, need a healthy dose of skepticism.

I see you and those of your ilk lining up for the chance to give Obama a blowjob. I don't like it, so please stop doing it. Mike didn't create this site to not be family friendly, so please fellate in privacy.

Did we read the same article? Talk about overreaction. Put down your pitchforks.

The financial industry did not take over the government, and the article doesn't say as much. The coup came in the accretion of importance to the nation's economic well-being; that is, the banks became too big to fail, and so they could hold politicians hostage. "If we go down, we're all going down, Mr. Hoover." That's the coup that's taken place.

The fix is easy. "Bust the trusts," so to say, by delineating banking activities among separate types of organizations like we had before.

You conspiracy theorists need to give it a rest.
