(left) - Rahm Emanuel, President Obama's de facto "economic hit-men coordinator, finance-industry loan-sharking graft-meister, and economy-wrecking de-industrialization czar".... where "czar" = DICTATOR!
IF President Obama's Rahm Emanuel, Lawrence Summers, Robert Rubin, Goddamn-Sachs, Tim Geithner and Ben Bernanke "US economics leadership" team are TRYING to WRECK the US economy worse than it was when they inherited it from President Bush & Hank Paulson in January 2009 - well, they are doing a grade-A, bang-up, smashing, heckuva job!
Ten Years After The Repeal Of the Glass-Steagall Act, not only are Obama's insane Rahm Emanuel-led wrecking crew minions NOT working to restore the "sane, boring, & SAFE" banking laws that the Glass-Steagall regulations were before the were repealed (by the Goddamn-Sachs and other Big Banks financed Phil Gramm Right-Wing Republican "deregulation!" crew in the late 1990s) to America's critical-to-the-economy local and regional banks, but the insanely greedy Emanuel crew is STILL WREACKING "DEREGULATION" havoc as we speak -
(here graft-meister Emanuel shoves massive EXEMPTIONS to some few remaining Sarbanes-Oxley financial regulations laws through - this past week!)

EVEN AS the Neo-Con (Emanuel & Goddamn-Sachs whitewashing) New York Times reports:
"Off the Charts: Job Losses Mount, Enduring and Deep."
To repeat, IF Rahm Emanuel WERE TRYING to WRECK the US economy, and destroy American jobs and employment revenues (taxes & wages), HE IS DOING A FANTASTIC JOB.
The ONLY question left to ask is, "Well, are Mr. Emanuel and his Goddamn-Sachs Neo-Con wrecking crew boys TRYING to WRECK America's economy... or are the merely as INCOMPETENT as George W. Bush and "heck-uva Job Brownie?"
And, sad to say, THERIN LIES THE TRUTH: in August 2005 then FEMA Director Michael Brown's GROSTESQUE INCOMPETENCE as Hurricane Katrina rain swelled rivers broke through New Orleans levees, and drowned hundreds of victims of New Orleans in raging floods, was not simple incompetence: it was yet another example of the Neo-Cons INTENTIONALLY WRECKING American society in order to turn millions of Americans into DISENFRANCHISED, economically subjugated peons.
THE BEST THING you can say about Rahm Emanuel, Timmy Geithner, and Barack Obama's mismanagement of the US economy - TRILLIONS for Wall St. and connected corporations, CRUMBS for America's working families - is that they are merely incompetent.
Scratch deeper, though and Obama's treacherous Neo-Cons are INTENTIONALLY WRECKING the America of high-wages, job security, upward mobility, and economic fairness - they have NO INDUSTRIAL POLICY, they are INTENTIONALLY WRECKING the productive portion of the US economy, to create "a new normal" of ECONOMIC DISPARITY, joblessness, gutted pensions, and nationwide poverty.
PS - did we forget to mention, THE INSANELY CORRUPT President Obama is PRETENDING NOT TO NOTICE the BRIBERY penalties against JP Morgan/Chase Bank, for, well, USING BRIBES to sell $3.2 billion in OVERPRICED sewer bonds to Alabama's Jefferson County?
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/14/business/14muni.html
Oh, that's right... Mr. Obama's SEC are the ones who allowed JP Morgan/Chase to pay the penalty fines - while not admitting any wrongdoing!
For his insane, "JP Morgan Chase uber alles - over and above the taxpayers of Jefferson County, Alabama" FAILURE to demand the SEC pursue justice to the full measure of law, ALONE, President Obama DESERVES TO BE IMPEACHED - even if the Bush-Cheney Republicans were just as insanely corrupt.

post-script: Are RAHM EMANUEL and TIM GEITHNER the NEW "Heckuva Job, Brownie" insane incompetence and in-your-face corruption, Bushian, American economy killing wrecking crew?
CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE: this sequence of photos illustrates that after Hurricane Katrina left SEVERE FLOODS in its wake as it passed over Florida on August 25, 2005, the hurricane continued into the Gulf of Mexico, where, due to the Gulf's warm waters, it spun up in power and intensity, at one point CREATING THE LOWEST barometric PRESSURES EVER RECORDED in the Atlantic basin,
= the most powerful hurricane potential ever recorded! Despite everyone on earth knowing that this huge and dangerously powerful hurricane was heading DIRECTLY FOR America's Mississippi & New Orleans Gulf Coast, President Bush and his Federal EMERGENCY Management Agency Director - Michael "Heckuva Job, Brownie" Brown DID NOTHING of the magnitude warranted by the looming disaster to prepare for it - President Bush was FORCED to sit through a FEMA slide-show in the critical days before the hurricane hit - and offered NOT ONE BIT of URGENCY to direct and pre-position disaster relief preparations before the disaster hit, to repeat, President Bush & his FEMA Director Michael Brown WERE WARNED IN ADVANCE that Katrina's hurricane force winds & rains would LIKELY STRESS New Orleans fragile levee system - threatening MASSIVE FLOODS. Instead of prepared, Director Brown was comically, tragically, insanely corrupt and NOT prepared for the disaster everyone knew could befall New Orleans: Coast Guard rescue helicopters in Florida were GROUNDED in the first critical hours after Katrina passed, because they did not have federal authority to fly to New Orleans. Even as large, heavy, vulnerable _network satellite news trucks_ were able to drive directly up to the New Orleans Superdome, and TELEVISE, LIVE he misery, suffering, and death there, "Heckuva Job" Brownie's FEMA __ORDERED_ a fleet of 100 Wal-Mart DONATED bottled water trucks, NOT to go to New Orleans - they were instead DIVERTED to some inland communities far less devastated than New Orleans - as Director Brown boasted, in e-mails from barely affected Baton Rouge, that he was enjoying 5-star dinners at top Baton Rouge restaurants!
CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE was the HALLMARK of FEMA Director Michael Brown "Heckuva Job Brownies' 'Leadership'" during the post Katrina flooding disaster of New Orleans, and DIVERTING precious resources - taxpayer BAILOUT billions of dollars - from RESCUING the WORKING American economy, to BAILING OUT insanely criminal corruption, graft, bribery, and FRAUD on Wall Street - is now the HALLMARK of Rahm Emanuel's insane Goddamn-Sachs wrecking crew "economics advisors."
