if you thought a country where obama was 'lenient' to wall st. (geithner + summers) was tough
just wait and see if your tough enough to stick with it with summers leaves and some minor news development (not on huffpo) in the markets causes the dow to crash...no one here has any balls or werewithall, that's why he had to hire summers and geithner.

this country is in a state of complete financial industry capture, and no one could have been elected unless he was willing to let the air out of a bubble slowly instead of popping it completely. all you whining libs are not my enemy, but we've seen what 60 votes in a senate, a lack of campaign finance, and 8 years of a dumb fucking president's kid can do, and now, your going to get to live what 'incrementalism' vs 'radical caste defense' looks like

expected replies -- 1) we should have let wall st go 2) obama is a pussy we could do better 3)your crazy

1. Oh yeah? Then where are the other progressives in the cabinet? There aren't any.

And, each one of these other DLC cabinet members have utterly *failed* at some important job, just as badly as they would have if a Republican had been President and in the same way.

5. Actually, "balls" would be standing up to Wall St.
What Summers and Geithner represent would be the exact opposite of "balls", as you so eloquently put it.

Am I a "whining lib"? Well, I'm not going to shut the fuck up when my country is being sold off to the highest bidder. Apparently, not shutting the fuck up when getting robbed blind by Corporate America is "whining" now.
