Too Soon? I'll come back next week.

After the bitter partisan struggle over the "stimulus" bill and the facepalm that the markets did yesterday, is it too soon to say it? Rush has been saying it for a while now, well not saying it but praying for it over a Cohiba. But if you listen to Limbaugh you are an automatic racist, junkie, fatass... so lets not got there.

The Financial Times thought about it today. FT, despite being pink, is one of the last globally well respected papers still in existence, mind you not a hack sheet.
Has Barack Obama’s presidency already failed? In normal times, this would be a ludicrous question. But these are not normal times. They are times of great danger...
If Mr Obama does not fix this crisis, all he hopes from his presidency will be lost. If he does, he can reshape the agenda. Hoping for the best is foolish. He should expect the worst and act accordingly.


Well that sounds bright and cheery doesn't it? Well lets see where this takes us. I hope Obama doesn't fail, I hope that he can help to drag us out of the mess, but its not looking good. Good money after bad, generational theft, too little too late, what ever you want to call it... I don't think anyone is too happy with it.

So I leave you with the image that I hope will not come true, but if it does I will be there first. And it was so easy.

Update: Please don't sue me. I transformed the hell out of that image, both aesthetically and in meaning.
