What do Rush Limbaugh and Tim Geithner have in common?
We can start with the Rush bashing that has taken place over the past few weeks. The GoP continuously stated this was a distraction, but at the time, no one knew what it was distracting from.
Until now. In the first half of this week, it has become clear what it was they were attempting to distract from. Just look at the feigned "outrage" of the Obama administration. I say feigned, because they knew. Oh yes, they knew.
Now, Geithner may be the next on the pile (or small mountain) that is growing under the bus. Sure, Obama says the AIG ticket stops with him, but only at the expense of Geithner. Obama knew, because back before he was appointed, Geithner knew, and *surely* he passed this bit of news on. Didn't he? Didn't he? I mean, he *was* the president of the Federal Reserve Bank. Will we soon add, he *was* the Secretary of the Treasury?
Being in the position that they can no longer blame Bush for this, the administration slapped the only person they could think of, completely neglecting the fact that congress is the real blame for this. Not the republicans in congress, but the Dems.
Remember who voted how, and now you can clearly see why. Except for the few RINO's, republicans stood back and let the house self destruct, and now get to witness the White House scramble to put out the fire - they created? It's all a one trick pony show, none of it is real. One tenth of one percent of the bailout went to these bonuses. Where is the real outrage at the billions.. TRILLIONS?
Now, we have the slobbering Bawney Fwank and the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac bonuses. Yes, they knew. All of these theatrics and drama are for one reason, and one reason only. Polls, campaigning, (which Obama hs still yet to cease since he took - stole - office) and popularity.
But it sure is backfiring, now, isn't it? Obama wanted to be seen as the hero, slamming the AIG execs for the bonuses, wiping up the mess, and dusting his hands off, saying, "There! I fixed it!" but it isn't going that way at all. Watch in the next week as those polls slip even further. Obama loves to sidestep any chance of blame by having himself removed from most decisions, but ultimately, it does come down to him, and thank goodness even the Dems are waking up.
The blame lies squarely with this administration, and their rushed bail outs which congress oversaw, and knew in detail about the bonuses. Only after it was made public did Obama have to come up with some idea, some fake show, that he was sure mad! Uh huh.
Here comes the Bus, Timmah!
Either all of this is a 3 ring circus, cleverly crafted to make Obama look swift, or it is really a 3 ring circus, and no one in the White House knows what they are doing. I opt for the latter, please. I would like a tall glass of I told you so with that, too.
Will slobbering Bawney stop slavering Obama's rear long enough to realize he is SO busted?
I doubt it, but it makes for good comedy. If only it wasn't so damned sad.
