Yesterday's post was a bit too way out,(Way, Too Point Oh?), from the Campaign for America's Future's Star Wars attack to the Institute for New Economic Thinking's flip-flop of the free market fantasia. By way of explaining the stretch, from the Wall Street Bull to the Statue of Liberty there is the Bully Poor Pit.
Obama is no Trekky or cable guy, but he is more bullish than just hat. I was recently reminded that the "bully" in "bully pulpit" is not the bully of the school yard but was Teddy's term for good. Bully for him. President Obama is no messiah, no FDR and no Teddy, but he is also no bull nor bully. He will be at the Bully Pulpit, and that is a good thing. No pun.

Again a ribble may emerge. If corporations are people based on the argument of free speech, why is the "disclose act" a problem? They want unlimited rights to spend money but not say who they are? How is that at all free? Hint: link is under Poor Pit. Then there is the Iron Knee of who was bailed out.
Then there is the political economic relationship/dynamics that are inescapable, yet often denied. (See link under "free market") Are you with us or against us? Love it or leave it? Corporations? (Seen in the context that Sam Sedar and Katrina vanden Heuval frame Michele Bachmann.)
