"Take yer wheelbarrow fulla dollars elsewhere, Yankee pig!"

Americablog

[...] The almighty dollar is now no better than a third world currency you've never even heard of. From Reuters:

The U.S. dollar's value is dropping so fast against the euro that small currency outlets in Amsterdam are turning away tourists seeking to sell their dollars for local money while on vacation in the Netherlands....

That's because the smaller currency exchanges -- despite buy/sell spreads that make it easier for them to make money by exchanging small amounts of currency -- don't want to be caught holding dollars that could be worth less by the time they can sell them.


Imagine if Bill Clinton had done this. Imagine the Republican talking points. Come on, Democrats - think strategically. This is the kind of insult that regular Americans can appreciate.

Indeed. I think we can blame everything on Bush like the Repugs do to Clinton, only with more basis in fact, not that that ever matters.

I need to go to the bathroom. Damn you, Bush...
