That's not right, is it. If Obama wanted the kind of taxes Reagan wanted, what would be the term? If Obama is a Socialist, then Reagan would be a Communist. Reagan was far more liberal than Obama is now. Yet somehow, conservatives worship the Communist Reagan, and denigrate the Socialist Obama. Granted, Obama has taken over 0.2% of the economy because the banks insisted that he do so. I'm with you on the concept that Obama should never listen to the banks. But how is doing the bank's bidding Socialist? Obama didn't want this, the banks that fund these insolvent corporations wanted it. Granted, it is Socialism, but it's only Socialism for the wealthy. It's not like anyone is helping anyone who is actually in need. We're only helping the people who Republicans want to help. And that's really the problem. Helping poor people would pay off much more, but the Republicans won't let that happen. They believe that the purpose of government is to secure the position of those that are already secure.

Plus, I love the bow tie. I rarely wear more than boxer shorts because I work at home. But when I wear a suit, I like the bow tie. My ties are about equal between the two. Unless I do the ascot, of course, but that's only to really freak people out. Nobody does the ascot these days, or in the last century. We'll except for a few people in the Sixties.
