BigGovernment ^ | 2/15/2011 | Samir Kapadia

It’s official. The New York Stock Exchange has been sold to, in one CNBC anchor’s words, ‘a bunch of foreigners’. The iconic trading floor of the NYSE was tense this morning as CNBC’s Mark Haines’ grilled CEO Duncan Niederauer on the just announced merger of Deutsche Börse and the NYSE, a deal resulting in the creation of the world’s largest share- and derivatives-trading platform.

Wasn’t there a story recently about a guy in MN (upper Midwest somewhere) who shot out his TV when Sarah Palin appeared? I know THAT wouldn’t be our FRantzie.

People are shooting TVs all the time. Muslim Jihadists love to shoot them. I pinned Frantzie down and he admitted he still has a TV but uses it just to watch DVDs. So I challenged him to shoot it so there would be no temptation, no chance of him backsliding and watching broadcast TV shows. So far no answer.

Greta is good. Dang I missed Trump he was on last night. Notice how Greta often does interviews standing up and so does the subject.

Greta does her homework. Most of them seem to read whatever their producers write for them. She goes up to Capitol Hill and does ask tough questions of Members from both sides. I never would have believed when she switched over from CNN that by 2010 she’d be my Fox Fav.

I saw the Trump interview. Again she was superb. I hope The Donald does enter the fray. If nothing else, he would help frame the upcoming debate. Right now the more contestants, the merrier in my book. They will winnow out, but hopefully there will be some good issues raised, and we will be able to coalesce around a sound candidate would can go toe-to-toe with Obama, trounce him in a debate and at the polls in ‘12. That is not going to be an easy task, no matter how much we’d like to think it will be.

Selling out America one piece at a time so nobody notice. We let it be done. We get what we deserve.

I saw their work ethic in a US state where a Mercedes mule team were testing 2013 models back in 2010. Those kids were going over their data on lap tops until 10 pm at the hotel. If NASA did not have the Germans (dotto the Russians) - no one was going to the moon.

Getting back to the point of the NYSE - maybe the Germans will be less corrupt than the SCUM in NYC at the NYSE.

America used to have something called “capital formation” where a bunch of people would get together, start a company and hire.

This antiquated concept was killed by Sarbanes Oxley, Frank / Dodd, 0bamaCare and a general attack by the 0bama Administration on the profit motive.

Wasn’t Wall Street grand?

Ah well, no need for it in our new paradise. All hail the pigs on two feet!

Well the Germans do not have a muslim destroying their country. Wall Street and Dems in the 2006 Congress helped destroy the US financial system. The Germans will probably be an improvement. In general, they are financially far more responsible than the U.S.. Sorry but the truth hurts.

Well, they’re all ready talking about getting rid of the dollar as the world reserve currency, so this just makes sense. Welcome to the nightmare world of Soros’s Open Society.

That comic was just like Frantzie. Pledging to not watch TV but then backsliding and ruining all the progress he made. That’s why it’s nor for real until you shoot (or otherwise execute) your TV

There’s allot more than Dems and Wall street that created the financial crisis....try the withdrawals of billions from our banking system just days before Paulson went to the senate on begging knees.

Must be you didn’t hear Merkyl’s recent comments about Muslims in their country....she’s on the boat with France and others who recently mentioned mulitculturism isn’t working.

Can the Germans be any more corrupt thank Goldman Sachs, Citicorp or The JP Morgue (Chase aka Rockefeller)?

Most of the people who watch TV now are the elderly and baby boomers plus illiterate young people. When Bernake/Obama's hyperinflation starts kicking in fairly soon - the elderly and baby boomers will get screwed the most. See the imploding USSR, Argentina and Zimbabwe - it will be a combo of those three. I will laugh when the idiots who talked about fox being their friend as O'Reilly licks hussein's boots with his pal Beck. The elderly and baby boomers are so screwed. Keep watching TV - ALL of TV supports the muslim who stole your country.

I rather like her...she’s not a Margret Thatcher but she’s getting there I think...just a different style...after all it is Germany, but she handles her people well and is not intimidated by other nations IMO.
