Idiots and Patriots

IDIOT
“If, in the future, banks need exceptional assistance in order to get through this, then we'll make sure that assistance comes with conditions,” The illustrious treasury secretary told us Sunday on CBS, “not just to protect the taxpayer but to make sure this is the kind of restructuring necessary for them to emerge stronger…"
In other words, Timothy Geithner is saying that money is going to go to banks with strings attached to “protect the taxpayer.” But, Geithner followed up his statement with this: “And where that requires a change of management of the board, we'll do that."
Which means… well… it will be a ton of Rick Wagoner’s all over again. Geithner has decided that the federal government has the power to overthrow any company management if they feel its "needed for the best interest of the company."
Now, here, Geithner was only talking of banks. But, was General Motors a bank?
GM CEO Rick Wagoner was thrown out on his caboose two weeks ago as a condition for the government to give GM more taxpayer money.
For pulling our nation farther towards socialism by decided the government can pick and choose the fate of company management, Timothy Geithner is an idiot. But, with GM and AIG heads getting knocked out, expect it to come to a city near you.

PATRIOT
Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina has told the President what everyone else was too scared to say: Obama is Zimbawinizing America!
Sanford said that something was amiss with the money earmarked for his state. “I was looking over the proposed uses of the funds and proposed programs seemed very socialist to me,” He told reporters on Thursday. He also accused Obama of printing money randomly to fix the economic crisis; “Funny money will not put South Carolina’s unemployed back to work... Funny money just doesn’t have that power.”
Sanford also noticed the similarities between Obama’s plan and Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe’s. Mugabe tried to modernize his country by encouraging spending. His plan has been noted has one of the most potentially disastrous ever proposed.
“Zimbabwe has a staggering 11 million percent interest rate!” Sanford noted, “Can you even fathom that? A gumball would cost $27,500. A vente soy chai skim milk latte with a sprinkle of pumpkin spice would cost $526,900.”
For calling the prez out on this, Mark Sanford is a Patriot. The reason it is him is because he’s the only one who had the guts to do it. Now, pardon me… I’m contemplating moving to South Carolina…
