SNL Presidents Reunion: Obama Gets Advice On Financial Reform - Jim Carrey, Will Ferrell, Chevy Chase, Dana Carvey
Video - Produced by Ron Howard and Funny or Die - March 2, 2010
Barack Obama gets a surprise visit in the night from ex-Presidents Bush 41 and 43, Clinton, Ford, Reagan and Carter.

Reagan says:
- "I've come back from the dead to tell Mr. Reach-Across-The-Aisle here to grow a pair."
Obama seems unpersuaded by the ex-presidents, whose financial deregulation, beginning with Reagan and extending through Clinton and the Bushes, led to the current crisis.
"What you're saying is, I should take on this mess that you all created? Take on the banks and their trillions of dollars?" Obama says. "How's this helpful?" "It's a bitch. It's a bitch," says Reagan. "But as George Washington once said to John Adams: 'Tag. You're it.'"
- "Nothin' wrong with one term, Barack," Ford tells him.
Hollywood isn't generally known for precisely timed or well-defined campaigns aimed at specific legislative language as bills move through Congress. But the clip, directed by Ron Howard and written by Adam McKay and Al Jean, was produced in coordination with Americans for Financial Reform, a major pro-reform coalition based in Washington, and it hits just as Senate negotiators work toward a compromise on the CFPA in the Banking Committee.

Even the left wing socialists have had it with this guy.
"Why is it that a handful of thugs and plunderers can commit unthinkable atrocities (and in the case of the GM executives, for scores of years) and when it’s time for their gravy train to crash under the weight of their gluttony and overwhelming stupidity, the force of the full federal government has no difficulty coming to their aid within days if not hours?” Stack wrote. “Yet at the same time, the joke we call the American medical system, including the drug and insurance companies, are murdering tens of thousands of people a year and stealing from the corpses and victims they cripple, and this country’s leaders don’t see this as important as bailing out a few of their vile, rich cronies. Yet, the political ‘representatives’ (thieves, liars, and self-serving scumbags is far more accurate) have endless time to sit around for year after year and debate the state of the ‘terrible health care problem’. It’s clear they see no crisis as long as the dead people don’t get in the way of their corporate profits rolling in."

JEFFERSON KNEW & Understood the evils of Government grown too big!
"It has been said the greatest volume of sheer brainpower in one place occurred when Jefferson dined alone..."
John Kennedy
HOW DID JEFFERSON KNOW?
When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.
Thomas Jefferson
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson
It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Thomas Jefferson
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson
To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson said in 1802
'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.'
Ken
"Once we were a free people, living happily in the great forest, flying from tree to tree, eating nuts and fruit and doing just as we pleased without calling anybody master.

.38 is a tiny caliber for me, it might fit you nicely though. One term and gone, everyone see's that.
Gomp, please don’t be confused. I am being sardonic. I think I have caught Obamaitis.
I am sure that somewhere on u-tube you will find proof of everything you desire, after all, if you see it on the tube it must be real, right (that is why u-tube is admissible in court after all)? At least that is what my grandson thinks of cartoons (2.5 years old).
OMG, Gobie, I think I have found all you are searching for...

It will get much better now, just ignore all you see around you...

Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep
Yr battin 1,0000 with this one. "Holly Molly-Gualk-a-Molly" You make me Hurt with Funny.
Now if you can find a Kenny-Boot & RLR thyem song, and its "Beer:30"..................
Bothers me too T.Dar But what the hell! True freedom is something that the corrupt parasites ruling this country will one way or another outlaw if they can.
May take a little bleeding to show them that they can't, actually it may take a hell of a lot of bleeding but it's that or get ready to be turned into a brain dead consumer in a society that will make Orwell's 1984 seem like a desirable alternative existence.
From ancient Greece to today true freedom has always come with a price. That price it seems is always paid in blood on a battlefield.
Loved the video, I had no idea there were Neocon Sheep running around out there.
But you are right, sheep have very short attention spans...
They probably did not cover that in your talking points memo, or you simply forgot.
1984 was a interesting read Sagebrush, I might have to reread it, as it has been a while. It was required reading when I was a sophmore. Then 1984 came and went without a hitch, and I have not thought about it in a while. Orwell may have been onto something, just perhaps a few decades off.
Orwell was for sure on to something, he was as you say 25 or 30 years early but it seems he saw all this coming.
Watched the movie midway through G.W.'s Constitution shredding term in office.
Scared the crap out of me then and it looks like things have only gotten worse for a majority of Americans.
From what I remember in high school the book is even scarier then the movie.
Might require a couple of antidepressants and a few beers for relaxed reading
Ever read none dare call it treason?
No, Is this one I should read? And now you got me lookin fer a sword!
