Welcome to fascist Amerika.
player 2 - austrian, long gold, and long gold mines:it is quite interesting that Mr. 'hope&change' has not only left every single fascist-smelling law of the Bush era intact, he has actually added to them. for some reason most of the people who were up in arms when Bush introduced stuff like the Patriot act, the military commissions act , wiretapping without court orders, etc., tolerate it without a murmur of dissent that Obama has changed exactly squat.
in that sense his 'selection' was a perfect success.
player tj - long gold, long gdx, short gdx puts, short gdx calls, long apple products: On way to office. Taxi driver, seeing me n my iPad, says he just got one as well. The force is strong.
On Obama, at some and perhaps this juncture, we should explain what has been happening as a simply "it is time". Historians make past events as complicated as economist tell future stories.
The system produced bush n Obama, n so we find us at where we are, because the system is kaput, requiring systemic reset. We must not believe that the reality we live in is any better or more robust than microsoft windows. |
