4. Gives you a lot of confidence in our new Congress, doesn't it?
Screw the world! Eat shit and die! But we are going to save our buddies at CitiGroup and Goldman Sachs. We don't give a big shit what you think. We cannot let one bank go under but the rest of America can go straight to hell!

The Dems need to get rid of Pelosi and Reid. They need new leadership ASAP.
