It's not fair to ask liberals to read and comprehend more than the headline. Such arts of the article as the following:

Nice out of context quote! Did YOU read the entire article? It ain't too sympathetic to your irrational fears of the Socialist and Chief scooping up all our savings. Obama is cozy with Wall Street. It's pretty much a requirement for any president. I'm sorry the right wing hacks got to you first and planted that seed. Unless you think Wall Street is in on it too (which isn't a bad conspiracy theory I suppose). :suspicious:
Of course I read the whole article. The whole article supports the conclusion confiscation won't happen only in the short run, but indicates that those who are proposing this approach are active parts of the administration. Did you read or listen to the other links I posted from the sources and not from the media conclusion?

No Spandos, I did not watch the video. I read what you posted though.

So you're trying to tell me that...GASP...the Obama administration has a couple of liberals making noise? :lol: Those articles, just like the current Limbaugh manufactured crisis, are fishing expeditions, chumming the waters, getting the base fired up about the impending socialist takeover. :dunce:

Worry not, the supply siders are still firmly in control of the Whithouse. :nod: Speaking of which, it's kind of funny how the people of Cyprus are charged with funding their own bailout, but not the bond holders.

EU liberals are generally more creative, intellectual, and always one step ahead of American liberals. Our liberals are like the Chinese... steal an idea, remake it, and sell a cheaper, shoddier version.

Unlike the taxpayer-funded bailout of General Motors, where the bondholders got royally screwed. :coffee:

Are these Cyprus banks "too big to fail"??

Let them go bankrupt I say, it's only Cyprus, it's not even a real country. :coffee: :coffee:

They aren't any more crooked than banks anywhere else.
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.
