re: #447 Sharmuta

Didn’t sound like the audience found it humorous or entertaining. With the numerous “government spending is out of control” lines- I have to wonder if that might have actually made a few people think. It’s hard to deny the truth of that “joke”.

I met with a sort of stock trading club at lunch today. Mostly guys drinking the Kool-Aid, one of them about to retire. They seemed pretty subdued about any mention of Obama’s economic policies, and what these policies might do to various sectors. Even a month ago they probably would have laughed off comments about Obama “waging all-war on business” as hysterical Right Wing anti-Obama rhetoric. They’re SO NOT LAUGHING anymore. Especially the biggest leftist of them all - who’s the guy about to retire.

They’re big fans of CNBC’s Cramer, who has recently joined all the other embarrassed roadkill under Obama’s bus.
