Sayings & expectations live on and on

We have to act NOW!

If we don't act, the markets will crash!

Too big to fail.

Can't let Wall Street go under.

Have to do something.

We can't let them fail.

We have to help the poor home buyers.

Have to bail-out Detroit.

Obama will save us.

Obama is the new JFK, FDR, and Lincoln.

 

OK you have seen all the above panic and mania statements that have brought us to the point where we are now. All of them are now seen to be totally ridiculous and/or just plain silly.

 

We in the USA have lost our way, and the rest of the world is laughing at us as we become a nation of screaming, teeny-boppers or groupies ("girly-men" as AS put it) chasing one possible solution after another.

 

Remember when Hank Paulson and the Bush-43 White House told us that had to act now, do this now, allocate the $700 Billion USD now or the markets will crash and companies will go out of business. Well guess what? We gave them $700 Billion USD and have promised over $2.5 Trillion USD more, and the markets have crashed and companies have gone out of business.

 

These are supposedly the best and brightest from Yale, Princeton, Harvard, MIT, and Oxford. Am I to be impressed by their results? Am I to be "tingling" with excitement over the election of an inexperienced, untried, untested first term Senator from Illinois?

 

I am saying that the next 4-8 years is going to be a nightmare when all the expectations come home to roust, and BHO has to pay off his supporters from the far-left.

 

The problem with sayings and expectations is that in a world of 7/24 media, they will never be forgotten. They will be back to be thrown in the face of those that said them and a pile of CROW is going to be served up for their enjoyment.
