I WILL BE SO PISSED IF THEY PULL THIS OFF

(h/t John Amato)

I've noted before that Pres. Obama and the Democrats seemed to have missed the significance of the public's disapproval of large corporations, especially the banksters, because they haven't done much to harness that disapproval to support liberal economic policies. In the meantime, we've seen the rise of the Baggers, inspired in part by how the banksters were coddled. With a little libertarian-inspired hocus-pocus, the GOP could take over the Baggers by cleverly blaming the failures of the banksters on the government, something the radio gasbags have been doing for months and months (see here and here for rebuttals)

There's still a chance that we can get some of the disenchanted back into the fold IF there's serious reform of the financial industry.
