What They Are Looking For Behind The Veil

Readers suggested a topic on the new administration. “I had hopes that Obama would bring in some new blood, to do some creative thinking on what needs to be done. But it appears that he is stocking his cabinet with Clinton area retreads/Democratic Party shills (Aka, the same people that had a big hand in generating this mess).”

“Just one question…..Have the Alt-A resets (and subsequent foreclosures) started to hit yet, and has it been “priced in” yet? Nobody seems to be talking about it in the MSM.”

Another said, “Yep, I gave up all hope for Soetero when he appointed Timothy Geithner to Treasury. Complete joke. Wait’ll we drop the bomb with Hillary and Rahm, too.”

One posted, “How could that be, the Hildabeast recently stated that ‘they’ will govern intelligently. LMFAO! ‘Gubmint intelligence.’”

A reply, “With all due respect, you and millions of others were very easily fooled. I could see another GWB/Clinton a mile away. McSame/Obama/Clinton/Bush. Convince me what you find from those four that stands him apart from the other three, will ya?”

And another. “He is just another empty suit that talks a lot and says nothing. Wash rinse and repeat, but the dumb masses can’t understand that and will follow along blindly and keep playing the blame game. The pols know it very well, our revolutionary backbone departed long ago.

One noted. “My alternative was voting for one of the ‘no way in hell will they win’ candidates, or voting for McCain……..not that McCain himself was so bad, but between his ‘heartbeat from the Presidency’ running mate, and knowing a vote for McCain was a vote for letting the current brand of neocon religious right Republitards keep their hands near the tiller…….”

“Obama hasn’t even been sworn yet…….the true test will be when someone in government admits that this Charlie-Foxtrot is too big to fix.”

“Maybe I should vote with my feet, next time. It will be fun if I beat the rush. Can’t wait until the Feds start telling people, ‘You can’t leave, until you settle your tab……..’”

And finally. “The thing with Hope is that one sees what they are looking for behind the veil.”
