Obama must fire his economic team/investigate bankster fraud

Post Reply New Topic

Well, Obama is increasingly looking as if he'll be a one-term President. If the Republicans manage to screw up so bad when they win majorities in the House and Senate after the midterms, maybe he'll get a second term. Perhaps all the Clinton-esque investigations into the smallest details of his personal life will generate a backlash against the Tea Partisan New GOP, perhaps not.

Seeing as to how his complacency with the corrupt Banksters of Wall Street is destroying his Presidency, should Obama fire most of his economic advisors and begin federal investigations into the numerous corrupt Wall Street firms? This would help the economy in the long run, albeit it will annoy his paymasters.

Obama is too late. No matter what he does, his presidency is tarnished.

Obama is tarnished for letting a lot of the bad practices of corrupt banksters continue.

And yet the Republicans will only allow the madness to continue at even a more rapid pace than before. It will be a shame they will be put back in power in 2010 and 2012. The Democrats learned nothing, and were too cowardly to do the right thing.

The Tea Party is far too psychotic to really become a significant national movement. Their influence in the 2010 midterms will be a one-off event, simply because they have a fanatical and devoted base of lunatics behind them. The next presidential election will see a broader segment of the US population participating, at which point the American people will repudiate their nonsense.

Frankly, Obama has been rightfully criticized for surrounding himself with like-minded intellectuals and elitists rather than people who have proven ability to get things done. All the advice he leans to comes from people who have no real clue how to fix what's wrong, and his policies and agendas reflect that.

Obama is probably not going to get elected if the economic climate continues to remain like this. My fear is that someone insanely conservative gets elected and continues to allow the wall street bankers to cause another crisis like this again.

I agree with you completely on this. Being from the UK, I am looking in and I see that the US has just about knobbled itself to hell. Most Americans can also see this fact from within, just by looking around them. Anyway, there will be NO investigation of any kind and the big evil men will continue to get away with things.

Either way it is going to continue and cause another crisis, regardless of who gets elected.

Unless someone with the caliber of FDR gets elected. Obama turned out being a massive bust.

If the United States were like Japan, the entire Obama team would put on ceremonial shrouds, kneel on their tatami mats and slice out their livers to apologize for the shame they have brought on the Nation. Unfortunately we do not practice sepuko in the United States.

Government would run more efficiently if we did.



A fundamental truth Americans are still largely ignorant about is that those who are allowed to get into power are cleared by an elite who ensure that THEIR interests will always be satisfied.

This is why no matter who is in office is seems the people are the ones who just keep getting the shaft.

The Bush Jr and Clinton admins would have also done the same.

But really, Bernanke, Greenspan, Geithner, Paulson, and Snow would be at the forefront.

Yup. I fear that no one will address the real problems and we're going to get stuck with someone like Bush again, who will play at being economically conservative but really will just have his wealthy friends' interests at heart and dupe people into voting him into office.

If Wall St. can easily pull one over on the current and previous administrations, they'll have no problem pulling one over on the soccer mom from Idaho*.


*Interestingly enough, Idaho had one of the largest populations of white supremacist groups in the country before recent years. Coincidence that Sarah Palin is the mascot for the Tea Party?

Are we really getting that tenuous with our smears these days? I'd think there are enough legitimate ways of attacking Palin without dropping to this level of assumption and innuendo.

I'm not concerned at all with regards to the "broader segment" that turns out to vote only because their 'hip' MTV candidiate Obama is running.

A bored cheap shot via history. Most people don't know where she's from, where she went to school (Hawaii for a year then left for a school in Idaho), or who she's associated with (her husband is a secessionist).
