Auto Industry Bailout Is Annoying On All Levels
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008
A thing that sucks about our nation’s current financial unpleasantness is that Congress wants to find solutions to it and Congress happens to suck. Other people who suck in this situation include Hank Paulson and “President” George Bush Jr. Barack Obama, too, for throwing himself into this situation that can only end in a sucky outcome. And lest we forget, the American auto industry — known by its appropriately sucky metonym, “Detroit” — sucks. So. Do we give car companies money for sucking or do we let a ton of workers in depressed areas lose their jobs and family health care plans? Oh, the wacky situations America finds itself in after ignoring massive problems for decades. MORE »

Let’s quickly recap the weird history of the Clintons and Barack Obama. Bill Clinton was the first black president, and then Hillary Clinton was going to be the second black president. Barack Obama came along and decided he should be the second/first black president, and Hillary Clinton spent millions and millions of dollars running against him. After she dropped out of the race, she campaigned tirelessly for the same person she had campaigned against, maybe sorta kinda hoping he would help with her campaign debt, but nope, Obama and his people aren’t helping at all. This is just a “mild annoyance” for her, that he won’t help her raise nearly $8 million she still owes to Mark Penn. 
We are sitting on our hands, in a cold sweat, staring at the floor, WAITING for 
OH THAT BARACK, he has decided to play the Bigger Man: “President-elect Barack Obama has informed party officials that he wants Joe Lieberman to continue caucusing with the Democrats in the 111th Congress, Senate aides tell the Huffington Post.” And because Joe Lieberman cannot help the situation in any way by, say, resigning his committee chairmanship honorably, this means probably very little will change. Fine. Let the baby make his fuss and have what he wants and he’ll come off all the worse in public perception. On the other hand, Hill staffers are urged to take turns leaving flaming bags of poo on Lieberman’s front stoop, nightly. Although Joe will probably enjoy eating them… GRRRR can’t win with this guy. [
