Consumer Confidence Tumbles to 10 Month Low


(click on the post title for the story)

We are so lucky in the United States to have an unrecovered alcholic cocaine sniffer running the show for us. Someone who wants to "smoke em out and git em" when it sounds cool in election sound bites, and wants to "bring em on" when alcohol hasn't impeded the flow of testosterone in his body. We have someone who calls the ultra rich "my baste" and who was raised by a mother who thinks people stuffed in the astrodome after they lost their homes in a hurricane were actually better off than they were before.

We have as a leader someone who was accepted into and received diplomas from two of the finest universities in the world and who, at one of those universities received an MBA. With that sort of background, a reasonable person would assume that the person in charge would know a few things about how to keep an economy humming along (like Bill did) and to keep consumer confidence out of the gutter (like Bill did).

Instead we have a frat boy whose only accomplishment in life was being a cheerleader at a prep school

and then later sucker punched a player on a rugby field at Yale (what I wouldn't give to be able to punch him now!)

Today in this story we learn that consumer confidence in the United States is at its lowest point in 10 months (I wonder who was "president" 10 months ago). At least Exxon/Mobil is making $40 billion dollar profits. Someone is benefiting from Bush's mismanagement and malfeasance.
