Barack Obama, Economic Traitor

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

Since "economic patriotism" is all the rage with the raging little fascists:

the bulk of the Obamas’ admittedly brief portfolio is invested in Chicago-based Northern Trust Corporation, a firm that has conducted itself in a manner that some might call “vampire-like.” In 2003, the company, which was a trustee of Enron's 401(k) retirement plan, was accused of having knowingly failed to prevent employees’ pensions from evaporating. A federal judge cleared the way for a lawsuit against Enron and Northern Trust for “misleading company employees by encouraging and in some cases requiring them to hold Enron stock in their retirement accounts, at a time when the stock price plummeted from an artificially inflated level.” In the case, which commanded national attention, several former Enron executives were charged with manipulating the company's financial results, ultimately driving it into bankruptcy.

Off-shore accounts?

Enron?

****ing over employee benefits?

Outright criminal fraud?


Go ahead you dumb ****ing hypocritical shit heads: put your vote where your mouth is.

However, seeing as your mouth is attached to your head and your head is up your ass I won't hold out any great hope.

Oh, but that's not important to the primitives.

The only thing that matters to the primitives is that Barack Milhous is "black" (quotation marks intentional).

Nothing else matters.

So, anyway, what's the deal with "Barack"? It isn't a name and it isn't a proper word.

It's not even an ethnic black name, since it doesn't have any apostrophes and it only has one capital letter.

Now "barracks" makes a really stupid name, but it's a perfectly good word and I suppose the singular form would be "barrack", with two Rs.

I think "Barack" is kind of like "Dwyane" Wade, or "hippywife", where there was a degree of ignorance at its origin that prevented proper spelling.

It's the name of the horse The Prophet Mohammed rode during his midnight journey which presumably made Jerusalem the third holy city for Islam, though no city is named in the Quran.

In other words... "Baraq, the horse he rode in on."

The perfect DUmmie shirt. It was even made famous in their capital city.

Actually, a long time ago I nadined that myself as well, but still it makes you think.

In all the world, how many guys are named for the pedophile Mohammed's horse, yet are not actually muslims themselves?

If you believe the DUmpmonkeys, the answer is "one". Or, in DUmp lingo, "The One".

You sure it was a horse and not an ass?

Obama Benefited Financially from the Auto Bailout

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/obama-benefited-financially-auto-bailout_655001.html

Earlier today, the Obama campaign pushed around a story that they claimed proved Mitt Romney "was against the auto bailout...but personally [benefited] from it."

"Today, [deputy campaign manger Stephanie] Cutter and the Obama campaign were pushing an article in The Nation saying that Romney - who opposed bailing out the auto industry as carried out by Obama - actually made $15.3 million from the bailout through a $1 million investment with a hedge fund firm that put cash into GM supplier Delphi," the Columbus Dispatch reports. "'He was against the auto bailout...but personally [benefited] from it,' Cutter said, calling that 'hypocrisy.' 'It’s just an example of what’s good for good for Mitt Romney might not be good for everybody else. He plays by a different set of rules.'"

But Cutter did not mention how Obama himself financially benefited from the federally financed auto bailout he supported.

Obama, from his time as an Illinois state senator, is invested in the Illinois pension fund. Obama has between $50,000-$100,000 invested in the Illinois General Assembly Defined Pension Benefit Plan, according to financial disclosure forms.

And that pension fund is invested in the Delphi Corporation:
