I agree, somehow, we have missed the bigger picture of the AIG bailout mess. I wasn’t so much outraged at that, as I was about just the appearance of it all. Know what I mean? It’s like how people were railing about “earmarks” in the recent budget that got passed, except that all of those earmarks equaled to less than 2 percent of the overall. Nobody cared about the other 98 percent, but for some reason, those 8000 some odd items were castigated as being stupid.

Same thing happened when the Big 3 CEOs went to DC to ask for some money, and instead, they got yelled at because of using private transportation to get there. That was all grandstanding as well.

Sometimes populist upheaval and or anger is misdirected.

Congrats on the jobby-job Giant.

As for the teleprompter…laugh all you want at the Limbaugh minions taking up that cry. I think as a nation we’d be used to hearing shitty presidential speeches by now after 8 fucking years of the word “nucular.” However, let me toss a parallelism at ya…NATIONWIDE outrage at a measely $165 million to AIG execs – stoked by elected officials (who “accidently” allowed for them to be paid)…yet the $160 BILLION or so that was allotted as a bailout goes quietly “into the night.” Talk about missing the big picture.

ya know….lance shits behind his shoes just like me and you….i’m not really fond of the guy, don’t know him…never met him…just not fond of him. most of the “pros” i’ve met are pretty unassuming. they just let they’re legs do the talking.

he’s put himself under a lot of pressure with all the interviews/press conferences/smack talk/etc. a guy who expects excellence from himself and everyone around him needs to lead by example…all the time…and that’s a tough job ’cause everyone’s watching for one misstep. this little exhibition, if true, takes everyone’s eyes off the prize of his “cause”.

just my two cents.
