At his town hall meeting in Costa Mesa, Calif., Wednesday evening, President Obama compared embattled insurer AIG and other large failing banks to a suicide bomber.

"A lot of people say, 'Well, why not just let the banks fail?'" the president said. "'Why don't we just let them fail, let them go bankrupt, what's the problem?'"
...



"Here's the problem," Mr. Obama said, "It's almost like they've got -- they've got a bomb strapped to them and they've got their hand on the trigger.  You don't want them to blow up.  But you've got to kind of talk them, ease that finger off the trigger."

Of the 20 comments posted at the link that I read, only one was supportive of The Exalted One.

This on an ABC news site?

Surprising. Very surprising. Maybe the sheeple are starting to get a clue.

And given the conservative nature of Costa Mesa (Orange County), I'm surprised they didn't have to bus moonbats in.

I think the delay in the Free PonyTM delivery has angered some of his previous supporters.  :-)
