Obama Economic Dream Team

What's Dick Cheney doing in that picture?
Scrooge McDuck wouldn't bailout failed banks.

That isn't merely extremist, but delusional, that cartoon's viewpoint. Obama has employed not only the "Wall Street Left" of Clinton days but others who go all the way back to the Reagan administration, including Volcker, the guy most credited with crushing (and ending) severe inflation. OK, there's some perverse consistency here given the screeching from the Left (who viciously hated Reagan, don't let us forget) during the recession that happened at the same time inflation was crushed, which was the new Great Depression, worst catastrophe of modern history, _then_.

How can this cartoonist be so extreme as to be detached from reality? (Or is he just pathetic in how he wants additional bailouts beyond the financial industry bailout that nearly nobody in this country in fact has supported, despite what people like him would have us believe?)

Arrgh.

P.S. No bailout for St. Louis city. Don't even ask. Wait for Obama's rebuilding plan to get lead paint removed and air conditioners installed in buildings like school buildings for the first time ever, something people in the city apparently value little in many cases given how many decades this situation has been in effect.

"Scrooge McDuck wouldn't bailout failed banks."

Not even his own? No, no, never.

And who is that with the bow tie, Mitt Romney?

(Actually Mr. Bow Tie looks like a genetic cross of Mitt Romney and Rudy Guiliani. That, with Palin as VP, won't work in 2012.)

For those who don't know...the one it the bowtie is Daddy Warbucks of Little Orphan Annie fame.
