Dr. Keynes Was Right

It's the Distribution, Stupid

Yes, the title of this piece is intended to tickle the bottom of long term memory; sounds kind of familiar, I guess I should read it.  Alas, Elton John (so far as anyone knows) has nothing to do with Obambi.  Elton cared about a tiny dancer.

Obambi, last night, displayed a smidgeon a spunk.  Not enough to get me convinced he'll do what's needed.  He *still* allowed himself to be portrayed as the sole re-distributor, ignoring the record of the Right Wingnuts since Reagan, who saw to it that the 1%-ers (and the far more evil .1%-ers) got rich while the rest got poor.

The numbers that matter:  for 22 of the 28 years from Reagan to BushII, the Right Wingnuts controlled at 3 of the 4 branches of the US government.  That's a fact.  In that time, through law making and activist judges (not the least, the Supremes), they put a severe tilt in the economic policy landscape.  

Unless, and until, Obambi tells that story, he'll be toast.  He can't continue to allow himself to be played for Stepin Fetchit.

The OWS movement reflects the disconnect between conventional politics and the rest of America. We shall see where it leads, but I think things are slowly coming to a head.
I agree. Once again, led by The Kiddies. I suppose that has much to say about the country. "Freedom just another word for nuthin left to lose". Figures, written by a Texan.
"This time/I'm askin for freedom/
freedom from a world which u deny/
and you'll give it to me now/
i'll take it anyhow/
when the night comes fallin from the sky"

I dunno about America’s Soul. It’s got a brain turmor, I think.
Obambi works from the neocortex. Not much limbic action.. too bad…
He was so archetypal once, now he is gray. Getting grayer by the day.
Caretaker type.
Care for the sick. His nation.
Good guy, but not a lot of fun to have the archetypal beer with.
Or whatever they drink in Hawaii.

I want a president cleverer than me.
That is whom I would vote for.
