Obama is a proven loser. Well, except when he gets out of the way and let's the military kill bad guy muslims around the world. He's good at that. Well, that is if it's a drone or a Navy Seal attack. The poor soldiers in Vietnamistan the Sequel™ have their hands tied and have a long list of rules for engagement.

Last October, potential losses on Bank of America’s $75 trillion book of risky derivative contracts were dumped onto the FDIC by the Federal Reserve. American taxpayers are on the hook to guarantee $75 trillion of Bank of America’s investments in near worthless European derivatives. JP Morgan did the same for another $79 trillion. This was done without approval from the Federal Reserve but also without opposition. What this means is that when Europe finally implodes and banks fail, U.S. taxpayers will hold the bag for trillions in CDS insurance contracts sold by Bank of America and JP Morgan.

While this is happening almost ONE THIRD of the people in the country are AT OR BELOW THE POVERTY LINE, stop argueing about what the government is going to do, realise that we are a REPUBLIC, and we GIVE THE GOVERNMENT ITS POWER, and start thinking about what YOU can do. enough bickering, what you absolutely NEED to know is that 25% of ALL the income in this country goes to 1% of the population, that 1% being the super wealthy.

If we had a true economic collapse (versus a credit bubble-related recession that supposedly ended in June 2009) there would be widespread bank failures and your money would be worthless. Like the Great Depression, you'd be homeless and standing in soup lines. You'd be too concerned about survival to have the luxury of shilling for Obama 16 hours a day on a broadband connection.

It didn’t stay at $4.12 for very long. Millions of Americans find it much harder to afford $3.37 now. Posted by: Dane | January 24, 2012, 3:47 pm 3:47 pm Oh sure, $3.37 per gallon gas is a lot harder to afford than $4.12 per gallon gas. And why would that be? Could it have anything to do with the economic collapse under George W. Bush stripping out millions of jobs from people - heavens no! Putting millions of people onto food stamps to survive - of course not! How could it! Big deal. It didn’t stay at $4.12 for very long. Millions of Americans find it much harder to afford $3.37 now.
