10. They're not idiots, they're crooks.

And they just can't stop swindling. They haven't gotten it through their heads that the 'good old days' of the Bush no-accountability, screw-the-working-man presidency are over. They should be on their knees thanking God that I'm not president, because I'd have them facing charges even before Bush. And no country club prison when they're found guilty- I'd have them in with the Crips where they belong!

8. 'What planet are these people on?'
It is hard to articulate just how amazed I am right now. It looks like sanity just might prevail! I haven't felt this good about politics in 38 years, and I am at a personal low of epic proportions.

Finally the Democratic Party turns on the light at the end of the tunnel. I love this woman!

12. One word of what they've done with taxpayers money:
FRAUD!! Haul their ass into a courtroom NOW. These bastards piss me off getting away with what they have gotten away with over the past 8 years and beyond.

Thanks a lot for pointing it out! :applause: :headbang: :yourock:

32. Locking the Barn Door after the horse is stolen.
Well, I am sorry but I am not impressed. Our representatives as usual had the heads up the fat asses and were allowed to be stampeded into this bailout by the Bush administration. Bush and Cheney and their corporate buddies are laughing the asses off at these clowns. They have their money and we have been left holding the sack. Where the hell is the money? These hacks that we elect to represent us can't even force these crooks to account for were the hell it went. She keeps says as we go forward, what the hell about the want the made off with. Yeah, just another big mouth politician who is using their very own incompetence to feather their own nest. She's mad, well she doesn't fathom just how damn mad I am with the whole rotten bunch of them.

34. I like this Senator, but she should be calling Obama out for
putting the NY FED Chair & tax crook as the Treasury head & then letting him select Mark Patterson as his chief of staff.. who had been a lobbyist for the beneficiary of all the recent Gov. thefts. GOLDMAN SACHS.

39. Not to mention all the cash they flew into Iraq in bundels.
There's another 8 or $9-billion that was stolen from our treasury. What about that? Oh, I forgot. We had to pay Blackwater and the other contractors.
