What makes it even worse for them is that they know they themselves are wholely responsible for the outcome. I am amazed the election results weren't even more lop-sided. In the last 8 years, did they get anything right? (There has got to be something.) I am an independent and I will never vote Republican again. I have witnessed too many screw-ups and way too much greed. I will never forget how Kudlow used to make anyone who argued for increasing minimum wage out to be a sorry, undeserving slob at the same time all these shenanigans were taking place on Wall Street. More incentive is LK's disdain for any help what-so-ever for Detroit after the sorry ass Middle Class has already bailed out all of his buddies on Wall Street with OUR money. Now all of a sudden, he is concerned about OUR money? There is a double standard in this Country that I can no longer stomach. I say fuck the upper 5%. They are one greedy lot. They already have an unbelievable majority of the wealth in this Country and still aren't happy. Need I say more? The Republican Machine is one bunch of bitter folks at the moment.

Disney completely rip off his show with "Handy Manny", Barack Obama steals his tagline ("can we fix it? Yes we can") and he can't get a job because nobody is building. Poor old Bob the Builder.
