  1. Obama better watch it: He might break his arm patting himself on the back so much!

    Now Obama wishes to bring “tsuris” upon Wall Street, too? In the end, the bottom line is that Obama is 100% only about Obama. Period.

    One almost wishes that Wall Street would make Obama’s dream come true and go into a tailspin. But considering the anemic weakness of Obama’s economy, a downturn might exacerbate the current recession we’re in – or jobless recovery if you prefer. That might result in millions of Americans losing their jobs – too big a price to pay for Obama’s irresponsible political gamesmanship.

    And Democrats have the chutzpah call Republicans “terrorists”????

    Oy Vey!
