Vulture Capitalism

It's delightful to watch the remaining Republican presidential candidates tear into Mitt on his previous incarnation as a vulture capitalist. All of a sudden these otherwise uber Social Darwinists take issue with the lack of virtue in big fish gobbling up little fish. Watching this fratricide unfold, so we're told, is a great gift to the Democrats and Obama, who will be able to take the moral high ground in advocating their version of capitalism for the 21st century. The only problem is they take money from the same vested interests and have about as little regard for the poor and working class. I almost put Obama in the 'toon as a vulture, asking Romney, "What took you so long? There's plenty to go around." Maybe I'll save that for the general election campaign...
