In Other Words...
Like, whatever, Mr. President
..."I have no friggin' clue what to do but give me lots of money anyway"
"Our challenge is much greater today because the American people have lost faith in the leaders of our financial institutions, and are skeptical that their government has -- to this point -- used taxpayers' money in ways that will benefit them."..."... I want to be candid: this comprehensive strategy will cost money, involve risk, and take time.
"We will have to adapt it as conditions change. We will have to try things we've never tried before. We will make mistakes. We will go through periods in which things get worse and progress is uneven or interrupted.
"But we will be guided by the principles of transparency and accountability...
And that, ultimately, we can still blame everything on Bush."
Stock up on beans and dry goods, folks.
It's going to be a long time before Spring comes.

"We WILL screw up. We WILL waste your money. Things WILL get worse. But trust us anyway, even though a lot of us seem to think paying taxes and following the law is for you "little people." And even if we almost totally sink the country, we're still cool, because WE'RE NOT BUSH."

I think my head just exploded.

Well, in the confused editing process I might have added that last line myself...but you know that's their back-up plan.

... American people have lost faith in the leaders of our financial institutions.
And we sure as hell never had any faith in you, Timmy.

Mr. Bingley, one must stock up on beans and bullets first, to paraphrase Chesty Puller. Dry goods are #3 on the list.

"...that we are using to slam through the Porkulus Bill."
There, finished that for him.

"...that we are using to slam through the Porkulus Bill."
"...in the dead of night when only vampyres and bloodsucking Congressional Democrats are out."
There.

"...and there's nothing you proles can do about it. Nanny. Nanny. Boo. Boo."
Okay, maybe he just THOUGHT that one.
