Palin gets it right

Which would make Obama wrong.  Again.

UPDATED - The Soros Connection

One of these people is an idiot

The Export-Import Bank has proposed a $2 billion loan to a Brazilian oil company to fund oil drilling and development by a state-owned company, hurting American workers, oil companies, and the country’s energy independence. Sarah Palin sees this is as a rather self-defeating strategy.

After the idea went public, Palin quickly noted that President Obama wants to use American dollars to pay salaries and benefits to Brazilians — to state-owned oil company, Petrobras, at that — to the detriment of our own country. (cont)
BUT WAIT! THIS JUST IN
Teapot Dome on Steroids?
Billionaire investor George Soros bought an $811 million stake in Petroleo Brasileiro SA in the second quarter, making the Brazilian state-controlled oil company his investment fund's largest holding.

There is another interesting aspect to this development. Could it be just a coincidence that Obama backer George Soros repositioned himself in Petrobras to get dividends just a few days before Obama committed $2 billion in loans and guarantees for Petrobras’ offshore operations?

Can Congress force me

[blah blah blah]
The Real Answer is:

= YES

That's right.  We've devolved into an oligarchy, but a single Dodomayer from slavery.

Woof

"Dogs feel very strongly that they should always go with you in the car, in case the need should arise for them to bark violently at nothing right in your ear."

Liar Liar

Looks like the shine has rubbed off
When even Air America sounds like... right wingnuts:


It's hard to pick the best line in this Air America moment. I can't decide if it's when the host says 0bamamessiah is "such a charming liar" or if it's when Greg Palast says "it makes me puke that we've just been cheneyed by a guy named Barack Obama" or if it's when he asks "what if the people screaming and breaking up the discussions at the town meetings are correct?"

Eh. It's probably when Palast asks what if it's really is an absolute fascist nightmare.

Yup. That's happening on progressive leftist radio. Imagine that.

Now that's change I can believe in.
