Traders may not have liked Obama’s budget proposal yesterday…but some comedians did. If you’ve ever seen the movie Zoolander, you’ll recognize these characters right away. Hmnn… In the next scene don’t they die in a “tragic gasoline fight” accident?

The Bastards!
i’m waiting for china to send me a letter of forcloser .
Yeah, some cheap vodka mixed with some cheap beer and then this, this what? How do I relate to this, this what? Is it a video of our current admin.? I especially am repelled by the image,representation of Obamas’ wife. I’ve been reading you all for a year and (stupid me) did not realize that you are racists! Why were you not doing these little videos when the most vile admin. in our countries history was ruining things? I should have known by the comment stream that you are not worthy.
Doesn’t anyone GET IT?!??! This is the largest Ponzi scheme ever devised. The public keeps thinking the Fed, congress and Treasury are trying to “save” the economy – they are, alright! They’re “saving” OUR economy by lifting all the money from our pockets and stashing it in their own. When will the American people wake up and realize that they are being bled to death? We’re being bled down into a Third World country and then, when there is rioting in the streets, our “oh so benevolent Federal Government” will come along to save the day with an INTERNATIONAL MONETARY SYSTEM controlled by the very bankers who have bled us dry. And the American people will be grateful for their benevolent wisdom. That’s what happens when a population is raised on American Idol and Office. God help us all.
If you want to understand what is REALLY going on, read “The Creature from Jekyll Island” by G. Edward Griffin. It will all make perfect sense. None of this is by accident – it is a well-orchestrated, deliberate destruction of the U.S.A.
Thank you Pat. You’re absolutely right. The Rothchilds’ Bank for International Settlements is running this show. Welcome to the New World Order. And those of you who don’t like to read, watch James Caan in “Rollerball”. It’s a benign treatise of the future.
Built in feature. Price that often you need to pay to live in a democracy. Let obama enjoy now; he too will pay the price.
If things get any worse, I’m thinking of moving to China and opening a laundromat…
In the endgame there will be a new worldwide financial system with only one global currency, which I fear and hope for, as still so far away, WorldwarIII will be in between…
an infantile response to a difficult situation….
Banks Underwitten Repayment Postponed Scheme
Fractional Artificial Reserve Trading Scheme
Hahahaha! Great clip of the “gay crowd” living it up just before the tragic accident. I wish the soundtrack came with it!
A very sad time in America today
That clip has actually been around for quite some time, since the primaries I believe
ehswan’s post really sums all the problems the US is having. The worst financial situation of our lifes, our children’s lifes, our grandchildrens lifes and he is upset about the “racism” of DR. Don’t worry ehswan, Obama is going to fix this nation of cowards racist problems also.
Yep – it’s racist. The two white people are really being repressed and aren’t being made fun of at all.
start polishing your guns and rounding up your ammo cause your going to need them sooner than you think. Bad stuff abrewing from your sacred Federal Reserve and Govt. Great little action clip above-very creative
Maybe a tax revolt is in order! Buy gold, silver, and lead to protect the gold and silver!
to ehswan:
Spoken like a true racist — thanks for the typical ‘I’m a victim response.’ Not worthy? You’re not educated.
ehswan, I have grown so tired of the “non-white” crowds crying game of “you don’t know what it’s like”. None born after 1920 REALLY does. Grow up, get a job and stop your whining
Oh, ehswan…to answer your question “Why were you not doing these little videos when the most vile admin. in our countries history was ruining things?”,…We were all right here listening to YOUR crap. Hmmmm, seems turn around is NOT fair play.
Nothing is gonna change or get any better no matter how much we bitch about it. They are gonna take all they can from us. So you might as well sit back, enjoy life, and take it day to day. Life is short enough.
