"Republicans are now benefiting from the tens of thousands of angry white people who descended on Washington over the weekend—but they’ve tapped into something ugly that they can’t controlhttp://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-09-14/becks-beast-unleashed/full/, says John Avlon.
The weirdness of the Wingnut summer isn’t over. The anger has metastasized into the body politic, and it’s going to get a lot uglier from here.
Obama Derangement Syndrome is establishing itself as a potent political force, able to rally tens of thousands of citizens to the Washington Mall after Glenn Beck’s call. Joe Wilson’s outburst isn’t an embarrassment of incivility to these folks; it is a rallying cry for an army of useful idiots. But Republicans will soon find that they cannot contain or moderate this strain."
"It's been a year since the financial system collapsed like a botched souffle, and the sense of acute crisis has eased. The wizard$ of Wall $treet are raring to get back to business as usual -- and if we let them, we'll have only ourselves to blame when the next meltdown comes.
Compensation is the marquee issue -- the unimaginable amounts of money Wall Street's alleged best and brightest paid them$elve$ for taking stupid risks with our money. I don't see how this materially differs from theft, and I heard nothing from Obama about trying to claw any of this money back. But executive pay is really a sideshow.
The main event is making Wall Street serve the economy again, rather than the other way aroundhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dy...AR2009091402709.html?hpid=opinionsbox1&sub=AR."
"I would like to begin by apologizing to all of you for the role I played 15 years ago in cheating you out of a reformed health care system. Had it not been for greedy insurance companies and other special interests, and their army of lobbyists and spin-doctors like I used to be, we wouldn’t be here today.
I’m ashamed that I let myself get caught up in deceitful and dishonest PR campaigns that worked so well, hundreds of thousands of our citizens have died, and millions of others have lost their homes and been forced into bankruptcy, so that a very few corporate executives and their Wall $treet ma$ter$ could become obscenely rich."
