Way to go Glenn, Beware of wolves in sheeps clothing. IE, the ole parable will certainly apply here "keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer. Get too friendly with them you might get a knife in the back. Or, maybe they just want you to help them get some bailout bux. ;)

It is incredibly unfortunate that were in this situation. Things are looking bleak on the horizon.

no, Clinton started the freedom corps, Bush Canceled it.

Who gets to decide what and how Americans can protest? Was it peaceful if so what is the problem with it?

There is a difference between peaceful protest and personal harassment of these families.

True, but this is going to go FAR beyond just the banks.. Wait and see. They will be applying that law to anyone who happens to be on their hit list. This is just the gateway to a whole new level, beyond socialism straight to communism where everything will be government owned. WHY? because anyone with a lick of sense will be leaving the country to make their fortunes elsewhere.
for example, lets say you built up a good sized business and you finally have gotten to the point where you can have all those things that the rich folk can have. suddenly the years of work and effort are nullified by mob rule (aka those not smart enough or too lazy, or afraid of the risk involved to start their own business) who have decided that they are upset because you have those nice things. Its an entitlement mentality where some people thing they just deserve it. So are you going to be happy when they go on a witch hunt to take your level of wealth away?
Im not just talking about the turds at AIG, and lets face it the millions they paid in bonuses are nothing compared to the billions they sent to other banks worldwide. This is about the contracts which were pre-existing to pay these people these bonuses. These contracts were approved by congress in the stimulus bill which was passed into law. Now all of a sudden AIG is in trouble?

of course were starting a class war. Anyone that is doing better than the other guy down the street should be hung with piano wire. Or at least that is the idea that is being pushed. I find it extremely disturbing that people will be seeing pay caps at both ends minimum wage and maximum wage.

from LBN News
"ADMINISTRATION SEEKS INCREASE IN OVERSIGHT OF EXECUTIVE PAY: The Obama administration will call for increased oversight of executive pay at all banks, Wall Street firms and possibly other companies as part of a sweeping plan to overhaul financial regulation, government officials said. The outlines of the plan are expected to be unveiled this week in preparation for President Obamas first foreign summit meeting in early April. Officials said the proposal would seek a broad new role for the Federal Reserve to oversee large companies, including major hedge funds, whose problems could pose risks to the entire financial system. It will propose that many kinds of derivatives and other exotic financial instruments that contributed to the crisis be traded on exchanges or through clearinghouses so they are more transparent and can be more tightly regulated. And to protect consumers, it will call for federal standards for mortgage lenders beyond what the Federal Reserve adopted last year, as well as more aggressive enforcement of the mortgage rules."

So this is basically going to start bleeding over everywhere. anyone who decides to start his own successful business. Realize that all executives are the business owners the people who provide new jobs if being able to make your own financial independence dream come true is crushed where is the incentive to take the risk to do anything at all?

What will happen is all of the people who want to do more with their lives than work for someone else will leave the country to find their fortunes elsewhere, like maybe Hong Kong, india or alike. This is a really bad idea not only has our industry left but soon entrepreneurial spirit will be leaving.

Well In the words of Sam Kinnison, "I hope they end up digging through Kentucky Fried Chicken dumpsters in a few years" Geitner will get thrown under the bus and we will have such financial disarray that when that G-20 comes up and France and Russia and maybe a few other countries decide to pick a new reserve currency the United states will become a 3rd world country. Mark my words you heard it here. If we are removed from being the reserve currency were going to be in a world of hurt because quite likely, China will call the loans we cannot pay back and then what? And, Thats just the tip of the iceberg. so much more could happen. ugh.

Another thing disgusting about Bill Maher is just before he brought the Obermann on he had the Tripp pull string doll. With quotes like "i can see Russia from my crib", "why is Grandma always winking", and quite frankly the most off base pull string comment was "Explain it again, that other baby my uncle?".Okay, so this is comedy? When Obama came out and said that the family members and their children were off limits I suppose that was just his family he was talking about and Sarah Palin and her family were not. Man I love this change..
Dont forget to cancel your HBO/Time warner / MNSBC / Comedy central and other Liberal networks. I certainly am.

Cancel HBO, and the reason is that crazy Bill Maher is anti American crazy liberal mental case. Specify that reason.. a few hundred thousand cancellations of HBO should do the job. These Liberal nut jobs are so out of touch with reality they need to feel the economic hurt.

Its amazing how healthy and wholesome it looks. Just what we needed gamma ray sterilized food.
