Brazil urges finance overhaul, Obama vows action – Yahoo! News
Allow me to translate for you…
Brazil’s president called on Saturday for an overhaul of the global finance system that “collapsed like a house of cards” in the credit crisis and demanded a greater say for emerging economies.
“We’re tired of America being the superpower. It’s not fair. We want to tell the rest of the world (especially the US) what to do now.”
In the United States, President-elect Barack Obama said it was time for Americans to put aside their political differences to focus on averting a deep recession, which he plans to tackle as soon as he moves into the White House in January.
“It’s time for conservatives to put aside their political opinions and do what I say. ‘Bi-partisan’ means ‘do whatever I say’ in the name of getting along. Oh… and I plan to try and tax my way out of the recession, even though that strategy has never succeed anywhere it’s been tried.”
“This crisis began in the advanced economies,” Lula told the finance officials. “This is the consequence of the blind belief in the ability of self-regulation of the markets, and to a large degree, the lack of control over financial players.”
“This crisis began because of the United States. This is a consequence of the belief in capitalism and free market economics, and if you were more enlightened (aka ‘socialist’) this never would’ve happened. Even though the main causes of this crisis could easily have been avoided had congressional lawmakers (primarily Democrats) actually listened to, and acted upon, the minimal oversight that was in place already.”
Folks, President-elect Obama is going to sell us up the river and use a crisis created by his comrades in the Congress to further push us toward the Marxist utopia he champions in every policy he supports. Change indeed.
To all of you who thought George W. Bush was a fascist? You ain’t seen nothing yet. You voted in Socialism. Way to go.
