President Downgrade's Excellent Vacation w/ Millionaires & Billionaires Begins

While our Economy, the Stock Market, Europe, the Middle East, and his Presidency are all in free fall.

Don't worry, there is golf to be played on the Vineyard, and after all, none of what's going wrong is his fault ! It's all just "Bad Luck" & Republicans (and of couse, GWB)

Hah !

Here are some good reads that explain it all:

Mark Steyn, as always, is a must read:


So is Charles Krauthammer:



And lst's throw in a little Warren Buffett for good measure:

Koch Responds to Buffett’s Call for Tax Hikes

I’ve received the following statement from Charles G. Koch in response to Warren Buffett’sNew York Times op-ed, which called on government to “Stop Coddling the Super-Rich.” To my knowledge, you’re reading it here first:

“Much of what the government spends money on does more harm than good; this is particularly true over the past several years with the massive uncontrolled increase in government spending. I believe my business and non-profit investments are much more beneficial to societal well-being than sending more money to Washington. — Charles G. Koch, Chairman and CEO, Koch Industries, Inc.

I would only add, as others already have, that if Buffett and his “mega-rich” friends don’t think private philanthropy will do as much good as public spending, they are free to send as much money to the Treasury as they like.
