Has anyone besides me noticed how much Paulson looks like Colonel Klink? There is one hell of a joke in it for someone with the right Photoshop skills. The above picture needs a monocle and Nazi uniform. The caption could read, “Still loyal after all these years” or just give him a monocle and caption “I’m making my daddy proud.”

I was thinking more like this is how Paulson got Congress to give him $700 billion…

Paulson: How are you gentlemen!!
Paulson: All your banks must belong to U.S.
Paulson: You are on the way to depression.
Congress: What you say!!
Paulson: You have no chance to survive if you take your time.
Paulson: Ha Ha Ha…

Congress: For great socialism!
Congress: Vote for extra pig!
Congress: We know what we doing!
Congress: Vote for extra pig!

Bush gave Wall Street the keys to the liquor cabinet and they got drunk. The fact that the US has no choice but to flirt with socialism is 100% the fault of those in the Bush Administration who took unbridled capitalism to the extreme. Enjoy it, kidda.

I think the word you are searching for is “ineffectual”.
As in:
After all our hard work in 2006 resulting in a Democratic majority in congress, I gnash my teeth daily due to the ineffectual “leadership” of Pelosi and Reid.

Actually, government spending from ’94 to 2006 (When republicans controlled the legislature) increased more than in any other time in history.

I make no excuses for Pelosi and Reid not taking things in hand from 2007-2008. They’re a couple of pansies. No disrespect intended to those in the LBGT community who might refer to themselves as pansies

Uhhhh, don’t you know how the Fed works ? They just make it out of thin air !
More or less, that’s how it’s done. And BTW, the Fed isn’t Federal, it’s banks like Citicorp, JPMorgan, BoAmerica, HSBC, etc.

okay, had to do it….

In A.D. 2008
Recession was beginning

Taxpayer: What happen?
Pundit: Somebody set up us the bailout.
Anchor: We get proposal.
Taxpayer: What!
Anchor: Wall Street turn down.
Taxpayer: It’s you!!!
Paulson: How are you taxpayers!!
Paulson: All your banks are belong to us.
Paulson: You are on the way to Depression.
Taxpayer: What you say!!
Paulson: You have no chance to oversight save your dimes.
Paulson: HA HA HA HA….

thx to whobewhatie, Rivahcat, and Sam for inspiration. I’m now going to go shoot myself….

By: fillerbunny

fillerbunny — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 03:10:52 +0000

by acknowledging it ain’t actually 700 Bil and making the guys who caused the mess in the first place be the primary financial source of the bailout? Just a wild guess….

I’ve been watching CNN, and I just saw that they don’t want to use taxpayer money, but private money. WHERE THE HELL are they going to get that 700 billion dollars of private money??

I was under the impression he was speaking from Paulson’s point of view which would make his lines make sense. But I am not him. *shrug*

I know the game. For the sake of accuracy, he should have said ‘Republicans set us up the bomb.’ Not DemoCrATS. (note the reference to the evil CATS here)
–
“What happened? Someone set us up the bomb!” is the original line in context. Who set us up the bomb here? Who are CATS and who are the heroes?

No, just bought by Chase
For pennies on the dollar
Thanks, FDIC!

It’s quite a coup for
“Shine on you” Jamie Dimon
To buy up WaMu

WaMu rebuffed him
Many times before, but he
Finally got his way

Shame the stockholders
Got shafted in the process
The employees too…

Let’s make a counter deal. Realize what game he is referencing thus what his joke is about. Then apologize for flying off the handle at him when he is on your side and only keeping with the parody that the caption is using.

Come on, Seth, back off the caffeine some. It is making you too jumpy.

By: Seth

Seth — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 19:45:36 +0000

Let’s make a deal, you don’t lie about who is behind the socialist bailout of the rich, and I won’t suggest you must have been living in a cave.

He was referencing a bad translation from a video game (the same one the caption references) hence the apparent incoherence. Google “All your base” if you want the back story.

GD it I knew joining the comment cabal was a bad idea… woohoo (Wamu?)

I’m sayin Dem policies, in general, lead to big government, including ownership of housing, banking, health care…

Nevermind tho.. I’m gonna let you guys have fun with it and get on my way. This was too good of a LOL to pass up. It was fun.

I don’t want Bush to get his way, and McCain hasn’t said what he thinks. I want no bailout, and spending and tax cuts throughout. You sound like you may know what you’re talking about. Learn to state your opinion without insulting cave references.

So sorry you have been living in a cave for the last two weeks. You see, the world has gone all topsy-turvy. Bush and McCain are the ones proposing socialism, for the rich. You know, that whole ‘bailout’ thing? Yeah, uh, that’s socialism. Which is what this post is making fun of, get it? Who will all your banks belong to if Bush and McCain get their way, the private sector? Who will own the mortgages?

According to the source with knowledge of the White House gathering — which featured both presidential candidates, congressional leaders and the President — virtually ever key figure in the room, save McCain and GOP Sen. Richard Shelby, were in agreement over a revised version of Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson’s plan.
-
Towards the end, McCain finally spoke up, mentioning a counter-proposal that had been offered by some conservative House Republicans, which would suspend the capital gains tax for two years and provide tax incentives to encourage firms that buy up bad debt. McCain did not discuss specifics of the plan, though, and was non-committal about supporting it.
-
Paulson, however, argued directly against the conservative proposal. “He said that he did not think it would work,” according to the source. At another point in the meeting, President Bush chimed in, “If money isn’t loosened, this sucker could go down” — and by sucker he meant economy.
-
ABC News reported that, following the meeting, Paulson “walked into the room where Democrats were caucusing…at the White House and pleaded with them ‘please don’t blow this up.’” But this story isn’t incomplete, according to sources.
-
Democrats stayed talking in the Roosevelt room and Paulson approached them. After his comment, Speaker Pelosi and Rep. Barney Frank shot back that the real problem was with House Republicans. Paulson replied, “I know, I know,” as he got down on one knee to lighten the mood. Pelosi joked back, “I didn’t know you were a Catholic.”
