Actually, I was thinking about the whole economic meltdown and I realized that the best analogy to this whole thing is a zombie attack. Some zombie bug broke out in the housing market which, in turn, infected the financial sector which, in turn, infected people throughout the world and now there's zombies loose everywhere. Some people are safe and secure in their homestead and don't have to really worry about zombies, some people are safe but lost a lot anyways, and then there are some of us in zombie land in survival mode hoping that we don't turn into a zombie or run out of supplies or lose a loved one. Right now, I'm in Zombie land, barricading the doors and stocking up on canned foods.
And, what the heck-- to take the analogy further, Obama is the young, brilliant scientist put in charge of the zombie infection but nobody knows if what he's doing will work and when it will work and every day and thousands and millions of people keep on screaming at him "Save us from the zombies!" and then whining when he doesn't. Conservatives, when they're not denying the existence of zombies, are busy complaining that any attempt at fighting the zombies is some sort of combination of socialism and facism (facialism). Their solution to the zombie hordes-- cut taxes. As for Obama's fellow Zombie Eradication Team, they're either still trying to figure out how to profit from all of this, screaming that Obama should also try and fend off vampires and werewolves while trying to fight zombies, or thinking that eradicating Zombies is great but it would be best if we didn't spend that much money doing so.
