IF I wanted to build the political version of a WMD to destroy the nation…

I would design him to be Mitt Romney.

Democrats are trying to rebuild this country after eight years of Bush's disastrous terms. I'm sorry that it's not happening fast enough for the ignorant assholes who have no idea how country and its economy is supposed to work.

But Romney, as incompetent and brazenly ill-equipped as he is, is not the answer to make things better… However, he's the perfect engine to finish the job of destroying the country that Bush almost completed.

Rich people working for the benefit of Goldman Sachs are much a better choice to fix it.

If, god forbid, the President loses this election and dooms this nation to whatever hell-on-earth comes from that loss, he has only one person to blame.

President's economic policies were a formula for failure. That in order to get the economy back on track most of the stimulus had to be directed toward the bottom of the economy, that if he pushed money to Wall Street they would just take it do nothing for Main Street and we would have the same scenario played out in a few years, except after the second collapse we wouldn't have the $ to stop it again.
