No Accountability
I am reminded today that we truly live in a country of no accountabilty.
Ben Bernanke, who is on the top 5 list of people being responsible for the financial collapse, is given a second term and it Time's Man of the Year.
Joe Lieberman, after single handedly scuttling HCR, keeps all his power and position in the Senate.
Not a single Bush Administration criminal is being investigated for prosecution, no matter how much new info we get on their lies and crimes.
Not only that, but these same criminals, like Cheney and Rove, are given overweighted voices in the media.
None of the Wall Street or Fianacial crowd are paying for what they did to our economy. In fact they are being enriched at a greater rate.
Wait, a golfer cheated on his wife, he will pay dearly.

1. Mandates are wrong. People and companies should be free to make their own decisions

After all its their money. I'm sure everyone will act for the good of the country and community - we have such an excellent track record. :rofl:

2. It is easier to go against one man than against the whole system. Besides,
"you cannot fight city hall" - that was taught to us on "The Brady Bunch" (1969-1974, ABC).

4. When I voted for Obama
I thought I was voting for accountability. You are right now, I was wrong then.

5. Excuse me a Black golfer....
Don't think for a minute that this explosive coverage doesn't have at least some racial undertones...
