Stopped at the club last night and they had Faux News on. I had to go outside after they found a way to try to blame the whole mess on Obama.

Wh-wh-wh-WHAT?

Did generations of old feel like their world was ruled by evil and greed, that we were going to hell in a handbasket, and that the end of the world must be nigh?

Yes, but that was only because the Pope told 'em so.

Wow thats a new one on me. I hears that there were some people well connected with some lenders who were working with or advising (whatever) Obama. I heard the same of McCain though. I think once you reach a certain point in politics there is so much money and power and and and coming at you that it corrupts even the most well intentioned.
