The stock market continues to climb as the world wonders why.
More dreaded foreclosures reported in the third quarter. Credit remains tight for existing and new businesses. Jobs are not coming back and people with jobs are being asked to do more for less. The healthcare debate rages, but no one is predicting real change we can believe in. The country is in a funk and if you read blogs and boards where the public posts comments you can see a lot of anger pointed at the president and business leaders.
I am never clear where this anger was during 8 years of Bush insanity. In fact, I remember talking to friends and wondering why people were not in the streets in protest of wars for profit, no-bod contracts to the vice presidents former employer, no movement on major issues, no new regulations for a corrupt and inept banking system. The answer I always got was protests don't do anything.
Which may be true, especially if you consider the racist and angry white people screaming all summer to leave our retarded healthcare system alone. It always makes me a little uneasy to see badly dressed white people screaming about injustice, whether it is at abortion clinics or healthcare debates. Who are the people? Where are they when real injustice is being done in their names?
Oh and Shepard Fairey admits he ripped off the AP for the above photo image of candidate Obama. Outrageous.
