Whatever It Takes

The president-elect has pledged to "do whatever it takes" to "revive the economy." That's what I was afraid of, actually.

His minions did whatever it took to get him through the primaries.
Rezko and his wife did whatever it took to get Obama into that big Chicago house.
Lawyers did whatever it took to get his opponents thrown off the ballot in his first state Senate race.
Handlers did whatever it took to find only compliant interviewers for him (On second thought, that one was a gimme).
Supporters did whatever it took to ensure his writings-and thesis works--at Columbia remained concealed.

With markets down over 10% in less than a week, apparently investors already expected more "whatever it takes" to head their way. Fasten seat belts, people.
