Witch-hunter-in-Chief

We’re trying to figure out just who the most odious person on the planet is right about now. It’s between Chris Dodd and Barney Frank. Actually, at this point, it’s not even close. Dodd may be one big fat liar and an elected official possessing of zero shame, scruples or morals but he doesn’t stand a chance against Barney Frank who is employing fascist tactics in his “moral” crusade against Wall St. fat cats. A moral crusade to solve the very mess he helped create.

Despite receiving death threats, Frank wants the identities of those AIG employees, past and present, who are receiving the bonuses that Congress approved and who have a household income of $250,000 or above. (Just what is it with $250,000? It’s become some sort of socio-economic Mendoza Line with this Congress and Administration. From here on out, this 250K income threshold will be known as the Obama Line.)

Congress approved the bonuses, the President signed off on it but now all that is somehow unacceptable and Congress is going to prove to the public they can be just as much of a pitch fork-wielding mob as a Klan meeting.

So in the spirit of democratic give and take here’s Barney’s address at 274 Grove St. in Newton, Mass. And here’s a look at his compound on Google. Time for some tree-trimming, Barney.

We fully recognize we’ve probably been spending too much time on this issue when we could be talking about something much more socially redeeming like March Madness and the ACC’s 3-4 record and the Pac-10’s 5-1 record thus far, but what we have seen the past few days with respect to a Congressional targeting of specific people for fiscal retribution and public ridicule when no guilt has ever been established is unprecedented in our lifetime.

We’ve got a President who seems willing to just let Congress run amok in the most reckless of manner and who lacks the balls to stand up to them and worse, appears willing to exploit this very reckless and dangerous behavior for his own political gain.

Yep. We’re in good hands.
