Obama, GM, And The UAW

I saw the following video this morning, and could scarcely believe my eyes:



Someone PLEASE tell me how, in just FOUR SHORT MONTHS, Obama has managed to take over the banks, kick out the CEO of a private company, hand over a private company, financed with OUR money, to a union? Oh, and let's not forget his handing over CA to another union, SEIU? How?? How has this happened???

Oh, wait - and how about those of us who pay back our credit card bills regularly now being saddled with having to support the losers who act in bad faith? Why do we have to constantly bail out, and ENABLE, those people who go over their means, be it credit cards or mortgages or car loans? And the Senate can stop acting like they give a crap about this issue - Obama VOTED to enable the credit card companies while a senator, along with many other Democrats. So just stop the charade - and stop laying the burden of irresponsible behavior on those of us who have good credit, or else WE might not have that any longer, either.

If you have not already read it, I recommend to you the following post by my good friend, SusanUnPC, "A Personal Note Only For Those Who Voted For Obama." And I would add, not only "ditto," but in the most pastoral way possible to those who did vote for Obama, you can just bite me for what you have unleashed on this country. If only there was a way to make only those people support the UAW/GM, pay the ne'er-do-wells' credit card bills, etc.

Hmm - that's a thought - let's figure out how to do just that - let them pay for Obama's taking over private companies, banks, and kowtowing to the unions (again - I am not anti-union in general, just when they try to take over states or private companies). A pipe dream, I know, but for this moment, it helps to keep my head from exploding...

And we all thought Bush was going to destroy us...Obama is just finishing us off.

That credit card thing...burns me to the core! We just found out, even though we have never missed a payment on our credit card, and in most cases zero out the balance on a regular basis, is now upping our interest rates and it will apply to the balance we already have. But they made sure we got a letter informing us that they are sticking it to us. That was nice, eh?

Oh, no kidding, huh? That's exactly right, ME - everyone said it was going to be Bush. But in FOUR SHORT MONTHS, it is astonishing what Obama has accomplished with OUR money.

Sigh.

Oh, yeah - real nice of your credit card company to make you pay for those deadbeats! Lucky you!! Grrrr.

Oh, and let's not forget his handing over CA to another union, SEIU? How?? How has this happened???Well, Rev, according to Tom Tomorrow (the pen name of editorial cartoonist Dan Perkins whose political cartoon "This Modern World" appears in the S.F. Bay Guardian) it's not Obama's fault, it's the Republicans who made him do it:

NOTHING is Obama's fault. He's perfect, didn't you know?

Oh, and ME - my bank did the same to me with my credit card. Raised the interest rate and charged me interest on a balance I'd paid off because it was a "revolving" balance. I canceled the card. They didn't care. That's Chase Bank for you!

PERFECT cartoon, SF! Thank you for that! Hits the nail on the head...

There's more abt who the Secured Creditors are - wait until you see the video (I'm waiting for it to come up online).
