Did Barack "Whack" Kellerman, Jersey-Style?

Did we elect Tony Soprano and his gang of thugs to run this nation? Seems that way...

Over at The Coalition of the Swilling, they're noticing the same unusual pressures that were brought to bear on poor Freddie Mac CFO David Kellerman by Barack Obama and his administration. Pressures that are being put on a number of private companies (more at the link), who are being told they are going to do it Obama's way, or else...

Tony: That's not it. That motherf*cker's full of sh*t. He's shaking me down.
Carmela: No, he's not.
Tony: Oh, yeah? Who knows more about extortion, me or you?

The first victim was GM's Rick Wagoner, who was disappeared by the government just before more money was fed into GM's coffers. Has anyone seen him or heard from his since, incidentally?

In other cases, like Kellerman's, we don't find out the story until the body surfaces. And some bodies never surface at all. Just ask Mr. Soprano - we never did see Big Pussy again after he fell into the Big Drink, did we?

We've elected a leftist thug who takes his cues from one of the most notorius muderous mobsters in fictional history. I guess I should be at least somewhat pleased that "Jersey Represents!", but alas, I can't be...

And his administration? Well, they've already been aptly described by Hedley Lamarr:

"Rustlers, cutthroats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperadoes, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, half-wits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswagglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass kickers, shit kickers and Methodists!"

Remember - Lamarr eventually had some Nazis in his gang as well...

Did Obama have Kellerman murdered - ooops, I mean "removed" - in order to get a more co-operative friend to run the numbers for him at Freddie Mac? Hmm...it's exactly what Tony would've done...
