Vultures' Crowing: Not an Endorsement

I was reading this item on US politics and economics, and the first of the comments from the registered public - the self-named "Biff the Spiff" if you set the comments so you can read "first to last" - just got on my nerves.

I won't mind if the US were to ask to join Canada some day in the Distant Future, but the idea of us now swooping in like vultures to pick at a not-quite-dead-yet carcass offends me to the core.

Besides, I want to see Obama and company succeed in making the USA a more livable country for its citizens.
