Maxine Waters bullies banks: “[W]e’re going to tax them out of business”
Ah, the Swamp Queen is doing what she does best: Throwing the weight of government around to intimidate private businesses and shake ‘em down.
The Congressional Black Caucus is trying to help by organizing job fairs across the country. Congresswoman Maxine Waters also wants to help by putting more pressure on the big banks to help with mortgages.
“If they don’t come up with loan modifications and keep people in their homes that they’ve worked so hard for, we’re going to tax them out of business,” said Waters.

They don’t know Jack sh!T! If I may be permitted, I would like to express what you mean to me in song.
At words poetic, I’m so pathetic
That I always have found it best,
Instead of getting ‘em off my chest,
To let ‘em rest unexpressed,
I hate parading my serenading
As I’ll probably miss a bar,
But if this ditty is not so pretty
At least it’ll tell you
How great you are.
You’re the top!
You’re the Coliseum.
You’re the top!
You’re the Louver Museum.
You’re a melody from a symphony by Strauss
You’re a Bendel bonnet,
A Shakespeare’s sonnet,
You’re Mickey Mouse.
You’re the Nile,
You’re the Tower of Pisa,
You’re the smile on the Mona Lisa
I’m a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop,
But if, baby, I’m the bottom you’re the top!
Your words poetic are not pathetic.
On the other hand, babe, you shine,
And I can feel after every line
A thrill divine
Down my spine.
Now gifted humans like Vincent Youmans
Might think that your song is bad,
But I got a notion
I’ll second the motion
And this is what I’m going to add;
You’re the top!
You’re Mahatma Gandhi.
You’re the top!
You’re Napoleon Brandy.
You’re the purple light
Of a summer night in Spain,
You’re the National Gallery
You’re Garbo’s salary,
You’re cellophane.
You’re sublime,
You’re turkey dinner,
You’re the time, the time of a Derby winner
I’m a toy balloon that’s fated soon to pop
But if, baby, I’m the bottom,
You’re the top!
You’re the top!
You’re an arrow collar
You’re the top!
You’re a Coolidge dollar,
You’re the nimble tread
Of the feet of Fred Astaire,
You’re an O’Neill drama,
You’re Whistler’s mama!
You’re camembert.
You’re a rose,
You’re Inferno’s Dante,
You’re the nose
On the great Durante.
I’m just in a way,
As the French would say, “de trop”.
But if, baby, I’m the bottom,
You’re the top!
You’re the top!
You’re a dance in Bali.
You’re the top!
You’re a hot tamale.
You’re an angel, you,
Simply too, too, too diveen,
You’re a Boticcelli,
You’re Keats,
You’re Shelly!
You’re Ovaltine!
You’re a boom,
You’re the dam at Boulder,
You’re the moon,
Over Mae West’s shoulder,
I’m the nominee of the G.O.P.
Or GOP!
But if, baby, I’m the bottom,
You’re the top!
You’re the top!
You’re a Waldorf salad.
You’re the top!
You’re a Berlin ballad.
You’re the boats that glide
On the sleepy Zuider Zee,
You’re an old Dutch master,
You’re Lady Astor,
You’re broccoli!
You’re romance,
You’re the steppes of Russia,
You’re the pants, on a Roxy usher,
I’m a broken doll, a fol-de-rol, a blop,
But if, baby, I’m the bottom,
You’re the top!
Maxine, Wah!ters, you are taxing my patience.
Ah, Cole Porter. Like Night and Day to Maxine Wah Wah.
Spacey,
Wife is upset. Yesterday we saw two little girls in an SUV. The windows were down, thank God, but no adults were in view. Wife wanted to call 911.
I told her not to. I asked one of the girls where their Mommy was, and she said getting her hair done in the beauty salon a few stores over.
So……..I went to a dumpster and got a cardboard box, and put 4 feral kittens in it that were living around the dumpster.
I gave it to the girls, and told them their mommy wanted them to look after the kittens.
I kept an eye on the SUV (while my wife shopped). Oooooohhhhh, the mother was M A D when she came out of the hairdresser. I don’t think she’ll leave her kids alone in the car again. She told her girls that they could keep the kittens after they whined and cried and nagged her.
oh, so now I’m the size of the ‘coliseum’. Great.
awww, sweet kittens! Our latest cat/kitten was from a feral mom cat.
Even more of what has already destroyed our economy is just what we need!
That was golden! Thanks for the laugh, you did good. Parents should never leave a kid or pet in a car alone, ever.
L
Shes lucky you didn’t put the 2 little girls in a cardboard box and give them to someone else. Just the fact you could talk to them and give them something and the Mom did not know shows how wrong she was to leave them there.
Pretty good thinking by the way. Were you slouched over hiding in your car with your hat pulled low when she came out?
Sounds like retail therapy is called for.
You can always use a new pair of shoes!
Can I forward this to my wife?
You were there?
Sure can! Your wife should be happy that you were looking after the kids so no pervert hauled them off!
L
Hangfire,
Is your wife upset because:
a) She wanted the kittens.
b) Those were her kittens.
Obamas letter to Congress:
Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. Leader:)
Our Nation faces unprecedented economic challenges, and millions of hardworking Americans continue to look for jobs. As I have traveled across our country this summer and spoken with our fellow Americans, I have heard a consistent message: Washington needs to put aside politics and start making decisions based on what is best for our country and not what is best for each of our parties in order to grow the economy and create jobs. We must answer this call.
Therefore, I respectfully request the opportunity to address a Joint Session of Congress on September 7, 2011, at 8:00 p.m. It is my intention to lay out a series of bipartisan proposals that the Congress can take immediately to continue to rebuild the American economy by strengthening small businesses, helping Americans get back to work, and putting more money in the paychecks of the Middle Class and working Americans, while still reducing our deficit and getting our fiscal house in order. It is our responsibility to find bipartisan solutions to help grow our economy, and if we are willing to put country before party, I am confident we can do just that.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
BARACK OBAMA”
Response:
Request denied. If you have something to contribute, please send it to us today so we can get started. This is not the time for political grandstanding or speeches. Please give us your proposal(s)immediately. The unemployed waited while you were on vacation. They can wait no longer. We have been answering the call and have been waiting on you to join us. We asked you for a plan earlier this year. If you have one, please send it over. The Congress and the American people do not need any more speeches. We need action.
Most respectfully and not worthy of being in your presence.

a.) The Samoan mother could have kicked my okole.
b.) The mother could have killed the cats. (Well, they’re just cats.)
c.) The cats could have given the kids a disease.
d.) Maybe the mother has prior offenses, and CPS ould take the kids away this time.
e.) Someone could call 911 on the old fat haole guy bothering two young girls in an SUV.
f.) I’m not the correctness police.
I sing my heart out and all you can focus on is the coliseum part?! I also sang ‘You’re Ovaltine!’ That’s got to count for something! I knew it! I just knew it! Girls always telling a guy to open up, let your feelings show, and as soon as you do, BAM!
hey; watch it w/the ‘just cats’.
@ Dexter–I just bought a pair of Kate Spade sandals on Saturday because they went better with the outfit I was wearing at the time…do you think I could get away with jewelry this time?
Women don’t really know what they want.
Wife told me the other day that I never listen to her, or something.
@Rogue
I was going to post the lyrics to ‘Something about You’ by Level 42 for you, but found them oddly intimate. And they’re by that great bassist Mark King!
I love Level 42! I got them on my Ipod. As a bass player myself Mark King was one of my idols. The fact he could play like that and sing at the same time really pisses me off. Great band from th ’80s, them and The Fixx!
Boston’s Something About You is good, too.
see there? I told my old boss that I owned a Level 42 cd, and he nor anyone else even knew or cared. He laughed at me!
And here we are talking about liking the same music. Awwww.
About time:

She should be thrown out of office and jailed for that statement.
Who the %$%^# does she think she is?
I’d like to slap her across the face.
She didn’t find it at least a little funny?
She says that 32 years of marriage to me has depleted her reservoir of humor.
Like that’s going to happen. The CBC is no place for West anyway. He probably has to shower and burn his clothes after attending their meetings. Toxic environment.
nothing’s gonna touch you
in these golden years…
don’t let me hear you say
life’s taking you nowhere
angel..
Sigh. My sex life.
I wonder if the Congressional Black Caucus has any white members? I heard there was a white Congressman who won in a predominately black district and wanted to join to represent his black constituents.
My guess is they don’t want any non black people in there to hear their racist comments and be challenged about them. I would even bet if a black person were to challenge them, they would shout them down as Uncle Toms and sellouts.
Their whole being is based on being black. We need more black leaders who challenge that status quo and that groupthink. Since the civil rights movement, there are still large segments of our black population that have not advanced as they should. My belief is that the so called leaders are such victicrats and failures that they now blame their failures on other races and never accept resposibility for their own actions or inactions.
It hasn’t worked with the current leadership. We need a new leadership model that focuses on individual determination, personal responsibility, integrity, honesty, and respect. The new generation of leaders will have to defeat the current one and they won’t go down without a fight. They are the problem but they will never accept that. Sad. Maxine is the poster child for all that is wrong with black leaders today. She has not solved the problem and never will because her thinking is just wrong. Way wrong.

Bowie eh? Do you think him and Mick really did it?
Maxine Waters congressional district is South Central Los Angeles.
“In 2003, the city of Los Angeles changed the area’s official name to South Los Angeles in hopes of removing the associations of urban decay and street crime with which the name South Central had become associated”
“Despite some improvements in the local economy, South Los Angeles remains known for its notorious gangs. The tension between black and Latino gangs has led to increased racially-motivated gang violence since the early 1990s. This is in addition to latino on latino, and black on black gang violence.”
Hey, Mad Maxine. You may have told the Tea Partiers where to go, but, um, it sounds like you’re already there.
Angela Bowie has stated that the three were wasted, and that Bowie and Jagger woke up in the same bed, and she made them breakfast. They may have slept together, but there was no sex involved.
I have always hoped that she is telling the truth.
Bowie’s ok, but Jagger? Yuk. Has always been yuk.
You don’t think she actually spends any time there, do you?
Banks that make the required
bribescampaign contributions to the Democrats will not be taxed out of business.I’d tell the Swamp Queen to go straight to h-e-double-hockey-sticks but, wait, if she’s there then it already must be.
Heh. Doesn’t her husband own large shares in a bank which got special treatment, and isn’t she supposed to be under an ethics investigation due to a conflict of interest?
On the bright side, apparently Maxine has now realized that it is possible to set tax rates so high that it will damage or kill a business. Baby steps…

Right Danish. Waters is the subject of a three year, got that, three year investigation for ethics violations and you’re right, her husband is on the board of a bank that got some special treatment through her efforts. She’ll be dead and gone before her case comes to a hearing at this rate.
Thus said the thug in politician’s clothing.
Sex, the opiate of the media. The real story about these guys is as businessmen. Word on the street is that Bowie taught Jagger and several other rockers some of the economic ropes, and that Jagger (who’s described himself as “the CEO of a virtual corporation”, and is a London School of Economics dropout) is no slouch himself. Not to put too fine a point on it, but, despite all the wussy attempts to co-opt its energy, rock IS about liberty.
Is David Bowie to Blame for the Credit Crunch?
Mick Jagger at London School of Economics
Scratch a rocker, find a capitalist at heart every time. What do you think their underlying motive is? Sex?!
