Why Obama Won't Be Able to Reform Wall Street

Commented Sep 14, 2009 at 20:03:05 in Business

“So true, so true. Unfortunately he's made for television and the public lives by it. Its really sad, but on a better note, at least this will just further the revolution which is slowly becoming inevitable. Where is this gonna end? What's the end game here? What to expect in the next 50 years which is most of everyone's life...?

NO, no, no. Its still has plenty of time to just get worse.”

“what you (and Obama) are really saying is that if this became a bigger story in the MEDIA, then it would turn into a circus by the MEDIA and the media's COVERAGE would consume the remainder of his presidency......


let's keep this one crystal clear b/c there are alot of boobs out there that cant tell that all of this is the fault of the corporate media conglomerates that shape how we view recent history”

“This is what its all about. Nothing else matters except this.....as a matter of fact, we will never be able to move on until we address this with public investigations, prosecutions and at least two convictions:

JOHN YOO and DAVID ADDINGTON. That's it. Nothing else. All else pales in comparison to this...even the economy. The economy is such a mess b/c people dont trust banks or the govt to help us....people dont trust the govt or just about anyone else b/c for the last 8 years actions have NOT had consequences......rest assured. Obama will try to sweep it under the rug.”

“Sweep under the rug ? we will see. We have to keep after him so he does not.
Its in Holders court now e- mail askdoj.org or go to www.whitehouse.org SPEAK OUT
I think Obama is bogged down with massive problems from GOP policy decisions.
He believe this could hamper him doing what needs to do. We can do both. YES WE CAN.
I tend to trust Obama - yes he is a politician and they all have to know how to play the game to make DC work. He did not create the game- others did- but he must deal with it. He is trying to do good. Today he is working with credit CO's to lower rates and eliminate huge fees.
Be fair and Give credit where its due.
McCain - Dodd- etc have been there 25 -35 years. - whats their excuse ? .”

CNBC's Clueless Mark Haines Calls Me "Clueless" on Morning Joe: I Respond

Commented Feb 04, 2009 at 17:14:29 in Business

“you really think wall street didnt know this was coming? Think Goodfellas and how Paulie ran the restaurant. Just keep running up the credit, running it up and up, knowing full well you'll burn the joint when it all has to end....Wall Street knew exactly where this was headed. We cant win when they put guns to their heads and threaten to blow the economy sky high if we dont "bail them out". Bail out is a term used for when someone is in prison. I dont think any of them even know what true prison time means.”

“oh please, what do you expect going on Morning Joe doosh? he's a joke. i stopped watching all news programs around the time of the election. I couldnt even watch inauguration, i felt like vomiting. all this kumbaya when it was obvious they would destroy everything right after. there is no solution now but Civl War. Plain and simple. Some blood must be shed b/c if Rush Limbaugh can just keep spouting off at the mouth, if Bill O'Reilly can keep up his hate speech, things will just get worse. No, we are headed to Endsville without any stops. You think you can re-educate somebody like Mark Haines? How about Mark Halperin? Gimme a break.”

“our so right Arianna. The capitalism schemes should be called what the are: "Gigantic Casino's run by banker crooks and political cronies betting with American savings and soon the American bailout money, if we don't seize it back from Paulson and his Minnie Me (Kash and Kari)
For the congress and senate to give them that money without so much as a demand for the receipts, makes my "Don't have a Christmas for my five kids cause I'm unemployed" ar$3 pissed!

We need to stop this monster called Capitalism, the Exploitative Casino game that takes others money and on whims, bets it on frivolous or pyramid schemes. Locking them up is the only justice the American people deserve and will show anyone else with a scheme, that like Marks and Harrison, "WE MEAN BUSINESS!!!!"

Accountability or bust!”

“The bullshit factories are churning at high-speed now and will continue to attempt to rewrite history, so much so that they are already beginning to trot out Jeb Bush as a potential senate candidate, hoping to have changed the history of the last 8 years by the time 2016 rolls around. Oh, I can already hear how Jeb is the smart one and how he's not the same as George. How he was such a popular governor in FL and showed alot of bipartisanship, enjoying suppor from both the left and right sides of the aisle.....and dont forget George P Bush, Jeb's son, who is such a skilled butcher of the the Spanish language that I almost threw up all over myself in 2004 when they trotted him out to represent Hispanics.....HISPANICS!!! That chump represents hispanics?!!!

You're right, if we dont continue to make the case then forget about it b/c it'll be Bush Redux in 2016”

“Amen!!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I commend you for saying it with that passion that this topic deserves and want you to know that not enough people are putting these two important pieces together, namely, we CANNOT move forward UNLESS we try this criminals, and you're right, who cares if they're acquitted, i dont even care if Bush spends five seconds in a jail cell, so long as he is put thru the gauntlet.

THIS COUNTRY WILL NEVER RECOVER FROM WHAT HAS GONE ON OVER THE LAST 8 YEARS unless we prosecute. Its that simple.”

“You are well received, Mr. Slansky!!!

Thank you for pointing out what is SO obvious!!! And its so true, too, what you said about it being Bill's perversions that got us GWB. OF THAT I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT!!!!!!


But, he wont do it. He'll never do it b/c we lavish him with so much praise for being so brilliant that in his mind, we are completely mistaken.

He wont do it b/c once Barack is elected president, it is over for the Clintons. They're finished. Barack is an even better politician than Bill Clinton and Bill knows it......remember, he thinks Barack is the biggest fairy tale he has ever heard....”

“You wrote, "Barack is an even better politician than Bill Clinton and Bill knows it......remember, he thinks Barack is the biggest fairy tale he has ever heard...."

Bill has done more for this country and the world in the past 8 years, than Obama has in his life. Better politician? He has a long way to go for that. And...you took that fairy tale line out of context. You can BS some Repubs, but not us dems.”

“I agree with everything written although I would like to emphasize on your behalves what you mentioned about a year and 50 billion dollars spent on nonsense about whether a certain president had sex with his intern. It is abundantly clear that we wont have to deal with that sort of divisive factual scenario.

Its beyond important. Its absolutely necessary now that the media is not like they were during the Kennedy administration....in today's world, that sort of stuff will push out all other news stories and drown out important positions on policy that go without discussion and allow politicians to bring their worst to the table.”

I am very thankful that with your position of prominence and celebrity, you are taking what you got and sticking it in their faces. Keep it up!!!! the more they hate, the better the job you're doing.”

“if you were a candidate and you wanted to win an election, why in HELL would you go out and say that you support gay marriage? hell no. You go out and say that you believe marriage is between a man and woman. Why? B/c gay people make up such a miniscule portion of the electorate that you would sacrifice any chance at winning so that you could placate at best a 1% uptick in your support. that would be foolish. no, better to stay in the closet with respect to how you really feel about marriage and win, then you can do all sorts of good things that happen to affect gay people...health care reform, education, debt relief, you name it. you're right, political reality is that the word "marriage" belongs to man/woman relationships. its just a word, damn it. who gives a shit? this isnt about marriage for either side. its about being loud and getting attention”
