Poor Barak
Poor, poor Barak. He was all excited to go on the largest shopping spree of his life, the likes of which even his $300-earring-friendly wife has never experienced or dreamed. (Well, she probably dreamed it at least).
He was completely ready, and wearing “comfortable shoes”; prepared for a marathon spending spree of cash and credit all over the national mall and the nation’s governmental superstores. He was prepared to even INVENT some stores, for enhanced shopping ability. In short, he was ready to spend, and spend, and spend. Nationalized institutions, carbon friendly reward programs, an ambitious 10 year national energy about-face, free health-care for all, free housing for the lazy, free unfettered imigration and welfare for every man woman and pet, free lunches, free backrubs for minorities with sore shoulders…Why, just put the word free before any statement not ending with “for the rich”; he probably considered it.
But THEN — these goofball banks and quasi-governmental-bastard-son banks; THEY GO AND FLOP BELLY UP! Over the course of a week, and even overnight, these financial institutions (or anti-financial institutions) evaporated enormous theoretical wealth, virtual dollars, credit, and budget — which was SUPPOSED to be Barak’s piggy bank! Before he even changes into his “I’m president now” clothes, they take his dream away! In a heartbeat, Mr. Obama doesn’t get to spend wild mystical amounts of credit should he win; because suddenly there’s no credit to spend! This isn’t fair to Barack. Its bad for us, but its REALLY unfair to Barak.
