 Today's Top Story

Fedzilla-care
by Ted Nugent

The easy play would be to be angry at the nine banks who received $175billion taxpayer dollars through the Troubled Asset Relief Program andthen shelled out $33 billion of these dollars in bonuses to employees.The very employees who steered the ships into the rocks.

Americans have a right and an obligation to be angry. We just need to be sure our anger is aimed at the right target.

Indeed,the banks who received our tax dollars should have been wiser with ourcash. Thirty-three billion smackers is a lot of bonus money. Accordingto the July 31st Wall Street Journal, 5,000 bank employees were paid atleast one million green backs in bonuses.

To be fair, manybank employees receive the majority of their compensation in bonuses.Fair-minded people know that banks need to keep their talentedinvestment and banking professionals.

What does not makesense to thinking, logical Americans is that these obviously-talentedpeople are compensated so handsomely when the economy is in the worstcondition in decades. Layoffs are the norm right now in middle America,not bonuses--especially million-dollar bonuses.

The revelation last week that a majority of Americans may actuallydisagree with the President was something for which his team wasclearly not prepared. Their attempt to marginalize citizens across thecountry who dared to speak out against a government-takeover of healthcare is shameful, arrogant, and desperately sad. (Continued Below)

1. Obama's Three Stooges
by Jed Babbin


August 2009 may go down as the coolest weather on record, but thepolitical rhetoric on President Obama’s attempt to nationalize healthcare is more heated than ever.
