Barack Obama’s Free-Market Fundraising Totals Cause Otherwise Flaming Laissez-Faire Capitalists To Call For The De-Regulation Of Everything Unless It’s The Obama Campaign.
———-
October 19, 2008 – Today the Obama Campaign announced fundraising totals of $150 million for the month of September. ’It’s amazing what those damn kids can do when they pool their allowances,’ said someone. Another said, ‘I’d give a sawbuck to hear Andrew Jackson and Alan Greenspan react to this outrageous breach of decorum.’

A Dynamic Duo of Hapless Disenfranchisement, each leaving one if not several 'Great Depressions(s)' in their wake, former gold standard supporters Andrew Jackson and Alan Greenspan stare smugly past we little people (2004).
“I have always been afraid of banks.”
- President Andrew Jackson*
“I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, you’ve probably misunderstood what I’ve said.”
“What Washington needs is adult supervision.”
As they reach for their nitro-glycerin tablets, the nation’s fiscal conservatives call for an investigation into Obama’s ‘Entrepreneurial Socialism’, which they consider to be a suspect entity without license or category that has nonetheless publicly disclosed unprecedented earnings from peddling pure rhetoric. The appeal was made to the USDOJ to investigate conspicuous contributions by millions of Americans resulting in net zero financial gain to any approved corporation or conglomerate in the private sector. They further requested DOJ to identify profligate, non-tax deductible contributions to the ether as blasphemous and treasonous. God made no comment vis-a-vis blasphemy. More to follow.

* The original cronyist, Jackson legislated to benefit his wealthy friends in private banking and, ironically, adamantly renounced ‘paper’ currency in favor of gold and silver. Jackson’s portrait famously appears on the twenty dollar bill. He has appeared on $5, $10, $50, and $10,000 bills in the past, and on a Confederate $1,000 bill. Jackson was a mega-slave master, holding up to 150 people as chattel, and as President authorized and implemented the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The Choctaw were the first to go; their journey is known as the ‘Trail of Tears’. Thousands died from exposure, disease and starvation enroute from sunny Florida to Oklahoma. The forced exodus of the Seminole, the Creek, the Chickasaw, and the Cherokee followed. Shouldn’t Jackson be on the $3 bill?

For a scary parallels between the GOP’s current platform and 1., Andrew Jackson’s ‘uncertain policy agenda beyond a vague craving for “reform” (or revenge)’ and 2., his deregulation of banking that caused the depression of 1837, go to the University of Virginia’s excellent elitist online resource:
