You'll wonder where your money went
When Obama is your President

[monicaangela]

We know where the money went, now that Obama is President, we wonder if he will allow prosecution so that we can get it back.

[abby4ever]

Flagged and reported.

[GlobalCooler]

You gripe when HP cens0rs YOU yet you try to cens0r other posters - for no reason. What a hypocrite. Get lost, huh.

[AsianAfricanAMERICAN]

[greatlardini]

The Republican plan would have been much more effective in resolving the financial crisis.

Oh wait, there wasn't one.

[abby4ever]

lol !!!

[rollingdivision]

Another clear reason why TARP was bad policy.

[Mogamboguru]

Even more so, as it was kicked off by Bush, Paulson and Bernanke...

[Mogamboguru]

Even more so, as it was .k.i.c.k.e.d. off by Bush, Pa.ulson and Ber.nanke...

[rampage]

Such a disappointing fact for repub;icans

[rollingdivision]

Obama, Biden and the majority of Democrats supported and voted for TARP. In fact the only resistance came from House Republicans and Obama vilified them for trying to stop, shrink or rewrite TARP.

[rbchilds]

And authorized by a Democratically controlled congress.

I wish i could punch liz cheney in the face , i know it's off topic but i felt the need.

[greatlardini]

Wassup Great L...? G-Morning...

[Mogamboguru]

A long time ago, I have come to the clue already, that Big Business and Big Banking are in fact euphemisms for the modern form of organized crime.

A german adage says: "The little criminal robs a bank, but the big criminal owns it." Al Capone would be proud of Wall Street today, if he could see it!

This is no case for the media any more, but for the AG.

And the Obama has been MUCH, MUCH too kind and too soft to the banksters on Wall Street in the past month. The banksters are laughing at Obama's administration all the way to - well, to the bank - and a laughing in the faces of all the millions and millions of common people out there, too, who are losing EVERYTHING actually, while the banksters are taking all the marbles UNIMPEDED.

If there was EVER proof needed that Obama IS NOT a socialist, than it's this.

[obamanomics]

Big Deal DickDurban sold a sh*t load of banking stock right after a meeting with paulson/bernaki in which he was told the banks were about to collapse. I have yet to see that story posted on this website.

[Mogamboguru]

I would call that the "Mother Of All Insider Tradings" - no?

[vippy]

But we will vote for Dick Durbin over and over again. I mean, he will be rewarded for being crooked as heck! Are we stupid yet we have to ask ourselves?

[LooktotheLeft]

I'm bailin' folks. Life's to short to waste on a blog that seems more poorly maintained and facilitated daily

[greatlardini]

See you in Fairbanks!

[abby4ever]

I know the feeling. Try logging out and logging back in, peacekitten suggested that to me, earlier, and it seems to help.

Sadly, it doesn't ALWAYS help.

[AsianAfricanAMERICAN]

I hear you LTTL...

[Mogamboguru]

There's obviously a DDoS-attack under way at HP.

[LooktotheLeft]

What's wrong w/ this thread? Comments won't load, it's slow as h*ell, arbitrarily logs user out, et al

[sufi66]

It's what's legal that shocks.

[Bugweed]

Only when Wall Street is lined with investment bankers swinging by their heels from lamp posts will there be real change. It's the best rigged game in town, why change?

[spinns17]

i got the rope

[armadillious2002]

Thanks repubs for one of the worst Presidents and one of the worst resulting economies in American history.
