This resulted from a Mom in Alabama asking her high school son to help with a commercial for the Tea Party she was involved in organizing. Boy, does it slam the message home. Very impressive.
Here is her note:
“I asked Justin if he could help me make a commercial for my group’s Tea Party. He sat down at the laptop for about an hour, and then brought this to me and asked, ‘is this okay, Mom?’ After I finished watching it, my stomach was in my throat.
Everyone that I have sent it to has really enjoyed it, so I wanted my friends to see it. I am so proud!”
A very powerful video…turn up the sound & sit back…!!!
Hank Paulson on the Hill…
Reminder, here is where we were almost a year ago now, the world was ending and Hank was in a sea of flotsam and jetsom trying to keep us afloat..do I like what he did, hell no, am I glad TOTUS and Timmeh werent alone at the reins then? Hell yes!
Update: Video as it is available…
Watching them grill Hank on the Hill
Live feed here
IMO this is bad, very very bad..
This is what they would do with a CIA investigation of ‘Torture’…go back and question shxt they knew about and never opened their mouths about before to look good….
They are going back and questioning every aspect of decisions they KNEW at the time were being madem, that they rolled over for..
After 9/11, after the collapse of Lehman, things were not ‘normal’
Never thought I could feel bad for Hank but I do..
This is a witch hunt and a kangaroo court and a clusterfark all rolled into one…
These people have NO CLUE about the financial system, and the things they are allowing Team TOTUS to do RIGHT NOW IMO far outweigh what Hank did with TARP and BofA and Merrill…
Shit Chrysler Senior Debtholders were threatened a few months ago, none of these Congress critters made a peep..
These are the same tools who LOVED them some Hank in October of 2008…
Hank does not look well….
The Critters are frankly really interrogating him at this point…cutting him off…beating him up and bullying him in fact with emails he has never seen…this is a guy they schmoozed like crazy, a guy who like it or not saved the system form collapsing, I do not agree with everything they did and didnt want TARP but we HAVE A FINANCIAL SYSTEM TODAY b/c Hank did something, unlike the Congress who was clueless and led by Nancy who was busy interfering with national elections and not minding the store….
Dennis Kucinich has bene on a MISSION to get Ken Lewis fired and BofA shareholders a nifty lawsuit, he is on CNBC now attacking Paulson….
UPDATE 5: Video added; Marty Feldstein comes out of TOTUS meeting and not playing ball, says consumers hurt by cap and trade, hurts economy..OMG Geithner just told DeMint that it is Treasury attys view that they have a 700B revolving line of credit in TARP legislation!!! Geithner on the Hill…again…
Update 5: Vodpod videos no longer available.
Update 4: Marty Feldstein comes out of economic advisers meeting talking to Becky Quick LIVE now CNBC
NOT playing along, says hour was spent talking about cap n trade and he raised the concerns about consumer rising prices and costs to recovering economy, Feldstein is explaining to Americans that TOTUS Team is REALLY EXCITED about cap and trade and basically telling us to CALL OUR CONGRESS CRITTERS and VOICE OUR NO VOTES and OPPOSITION to cap and trade or it is coming!!!
I love that Feldstein wont be a pawn and is giving his HONEST OPINION, It is a hidden tax he says….CALL YOUR CRITTERS JUST SAY NO TO HIGHER ENERGY COSTS IN A DAMNED RECESSION!
FYI Markets were up nicely and are turning lower as Tim says they have revolving 700B of our money to use as they see fit while TOTUS Econ Adviser Team says cap and trade is coming but they say it is green jobs !
Update 3: SHxt, now they jumped to the Council of Economic Advisers talking after meeting with TOTUS, It os GE’s Immelt talking about how we need, wait for it..GREEN JOBS,…ZOMG!! Another nail in the economys coffin….gee wonder why GE is so interested in this and healthcare, evil bastids…
Update 2: Vittner following up saying Sen Gregg wrote to Treasury telling them this is contrary to Senate’s understanding of TARP law when it passed. Tim is pushing back says he wrote a letter back, (yesterday) and now saying I understand but our reading of the law is that we have this power…SHXT CNBC interrupted to go to SEC..frak!
OMG OMG OMG DeMint just got Tim to admit Treasury and Admin lawyers in reviewing TARP legislation believe they have ONGOING authority to CONTINUE to use 700B out of General Funds to do with as they see fit in the financial markets..OMG OMG OMG
DeMint said if it is paid back it goes back into General Funds right, that is taken from what you can use. Tim said Yes and NO It goes to General Funds but WE CAN STILL DRAW IT AND USE IT DeMint said permanently, Tim said not sure about permanently but our attorneys say on an ongoing basis..
OMG OMG OMG HOLY SHXT WTH DID THESE YAHOOS DO! NOW THE POLITICAL ARM OF TOTUS, TREASURY HAS A REVOLVING 700B LINE OR CREDIT FROM OUR GENERAL FUNDS!!!
Will get video up as soon as humanly possible…

Victims of Changes: Rasmussen Poll: Americans hopin’ the change stops soon; Chrysler Debtholder Firms Threatened by WH
Victims of Changes: That’s my interpretation, maybe the Thug like tactics we saw in the primary and which reappeared in the attacks on Tea Party Protesters and threats to Chrysler bondholders like Perella Weinberg to take the deal or be destroyed by Teh One’s Media Handmaidens in the WH Press Corps. aren’t going over as well with the General Public as they did with the Democratic neo Progressive UberOBots….
Via Gateway Pundit by way of Instapundit:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 33% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-two percent (32%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of +1.
Judas Priest can sum this up for us:
