Comandante Obama

How to become a banana republic.

More: An aghast world watches.

UPDATE: Drudge:
Obama will call for increased oversight of 'executive pay at all banks, Wall Street firms and possibly other companies' as part of sweeping plan to 'overhaul financial regulation', NY TIMES reporting Sunday, newsroom sources tell DRUDGE... Developing...
Afraid or mad as hell? Will a busload of ACORN vigilantes come to your neighborhood too? (HT Fausta):
Jon Green, a spokesman for Connecticut Working Families, says. "We are not looking to harass these individuals or fan the flames for retribution in any way."
Really?

Really?

This shit is even shocking me.

UPDATE: This is not the first time they have done stuff like this:
Chicago is home to one of its strongest chapters, and Acorn has burst into a closed city council meeting there. Acorn protestors in Baltimore disrupted a bankers’ dinner and sent four busloads of profanity-screaming protestors against the mayor’s home, terrifying his wife and kids. Even a Baltimore city council member who generally supports Acorn said their intimidation tactics had crossed the line.
They're Friends of POTUS now. Who will stop them?

More: Kudlow looks prescient, from this morning, tho he's brought this up earlier on his show:
And even though the 90 percent tax is a reaction to the AIG bonus fiasco, you have to wonder if the very-liberal-left House Democrats have a much broader agenda: to completely overturn the supply-side tax cuts of Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy.

A bit of history is in order. Following World War I, the Harding-Coolidge-Mellon Republicans returned the country to tax normalcy by reducing Woodrow Wilson's 75 percent wartime tax to 25 percent -- thus triggering the roaring growth of the 1920s. Then came the Depression, spawned in large part by Herbert Hoover and FDR, who raised the top tax rate to 63 percent, 70 percent and finally 94 percent.
AP story on fear in Fairfield County. Per Slate, Fairfield County went heavily Obama. How do they like him now?

UPDATE: March in Chicago--so far staying downtown. Video.

UPDATE: One bus, outnumbered by press. As HotAir notes:
First, it attracted more press than protesters, a rather ironic twist on the Tea Party protests, which garner thousands which are mostly ignored by the media.
