It’s sick math–and it’s probably even worse than how I depicted it in this cartoon. No matter how you crunch the numbers, there is no way anyone can justify the bank bailout as anything other than a massive transfer of wealth from taxpayers to greedy corporations.
Fairly self-explanatory, but this is something I’ve been trying to convey about Obama for some time. He has perfect Bush’s art of getting the big headline and then amending it into nothingness later when nobody is paying attention. Remember Bush’s signing statements? Obama doesn’t need them–he does the same thing without them.
Republicans argue that the Gitmo detainees cannot be safely transferred to the U.S. Why not?
Let’s hope murderers bent on vengeance don’t become more thorough.
When I was growing up, a “layoff” was something that happened while a factory closed temporarily in order to allow surplus inventory to be sold. Then workers came back to work. Why can’t corporations just admit it–they’re firing people?
I owe this one to one of the commenters here at the . He pointed out that Obama prefers to punish people who haven’t committed crimes over those who already have. Such a hilarious observation! I hope my cartoon is worthy of it.
Barack Obama reneged on his promise to release 2000+ photos of prisoner abuse by US troops. Because, you know, the Afghans and Iraqis aren’t already pissed.
