Rachel Maddow Show: Banking Industry Bailout Rip-Off

[97tennis]

also another good part of it was that it attempted to and sort of succeeded in calming the markets a bit.

[97tennis]

the bailout was fundamentally a good idea...simply because the banks were meant to lend out the money....BUT THEY DIDN'T. Instead they just did whatever they wanted with the money, because Hank Paulson didn't put any restrictions on what they could do with the money.

[Ricku571]

I wish they would quit calling it a bail out and call it what it is! Robbery of the United States tax payers. People who rob banks are bank robber's. What do you call bankers who commit robbery of a nation? Banker thief? Banker crook? Oh, I get it! It's not about the to big to fail, it is straight up in the face to big for jail kind of fail! 

[padude64]

Rachel Maddow rocks! Rachel for President!

[rubearo]

rachel..appreciated your perp walk of republicans who got busted for having affairs, etc. but are you really the one to be chastising? i mean really??? you???? you've got to be kidding me.....you of all people!!!!!!!

[comgeek24]

A Democrat is driving down the street and encounters a homeless quadripegic veteran at a stop light. The veteran asks him for some change.

The Democrat says "Thank you for your service to our country. Can I give you a ride to the shelter?"

A Republican is driving down the street the next day and encounters the same veteran at the same stop light. The veteran asks him for some change.

The Republican says "Thank you for your service to our country. Now get a job!"

[comgeek24]

I love how some of these people who disagree with Rachel can't actually argue their disagreeing point, rather, they make fun of her sexuality or her looks (or make that lame Rachel "Madcow" joke). To them I say, get over it. She's right a LOT of the time-if not all the time-and you know it.

[rubearo]

@comgeek24 she is ungodly..santamoneous, and rarely has anything to say that helps in any way....no i have no use for the likes of her

[comgeek24]

@rubearo Um, just thought I'd let you know, before you get too carried away with that word, "santamoneous": it's "sanctimonious", like feigning piety or righteousness, right? Yeah, it's "sanctimonious". If you're wanting people to take your opinions seriously, proper spelling and grammar make for a huge step towards that.

[Ronin1914]

@comgeek24: INDEED! :-D

[comgeek24]

@Ronin1914 So you agree?

[Ronin1914]

@comgeek24: Absolutely! I believe that spelling and syntax are highly important when it comes to the expression of an idea or opinion. The quality of our thoughts and ideas are only as good as the quality of our language (and spelling). If someone is too lazy to go pick up a dictionary (or even GO TO THE ONE THAT'S ONLINE), then why should anyone bother taking into account that person's opinion? To quote Dennis Miller, "Of course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.".

[comgeek24]

@Ronin1914 No, it's not just your opinion, it's mine, too. :)

[Ronin1914]

@comgeek24: Glad to know that I'm in good company.

[JBondski]

Rachel Madcow.... does MS&MBC know how many viewers they have lost due to this Marxist, lying byatch? Do they care? When they are down to 2 viewers (one of Dobermann's hookers and one of Larry O'Dumbel retarded kids), BHO will bail 'em out, right?

[callouschristian]

I think what the congress people are really afraid of is what's going to happen when the American People realize how badly our government is completely ripping us off and hanging us out to dry.

[fritzvongarrett]

Just heard this bitch ridiculing a congressman because he used the word HOLOCAUST to refer to almost 50,000 peope in america who die because they have no health care. Well YOU AROGANT BITCH TRASH LESBIAN, go get a dictionary and look up holocaust. This greedy ass country could care less about human beings, only MONEY. So fuck you asshole. Sure you have the best of health care you fucker, from that FUCKED up MSNBC you work for. Fuck u.

[rmanrod]

I can't stand this lesbian bitch

[HeyNonyNonymous]

Can you say anything substantive about her? Or is it just her gender and sexual orientation that you don't like?

[rubearo]

@HeyNonyNonymous she is nothing but a gay hypocrite...socialist troublemaker...useless...she is not christian and when she passes judgement it is not to point out that a christian fell from grace, but the sanctamoneous and it really is sickening...that's the problem with the left...no god, no moral compass, no eithics, no values, no principles, no character, just no nothing as far as i'm concerned

[padude64]

@rubearo And who the hell are you GOD! Let me tell you something! God will punish you before he punishes anyone else because you are placing Gods judjement in your hands which is a bad idea!

[tamari123]

There's nothing wrong with a news caster or journalist having an opinion, and there's nothing wrong with them expressing their opinion. As long as they're being fair in laying all the facts. Think of Maddow as a TV opinion columnist. And a good one, too, because she makes a point of telling all the facts - even the ones that aren't helping her argument - and she's honest in telling us who she is and what she believes in. She's the opposite of, say, Bill O'riely, who swears he's neutral.

[fishintwodish]

Is there a news channel left that "reports "without any bias?

[glazemeister]

all the nightly news shows are pretty good. PBS BBC. there is still hope out there lol. all these "opinion based journalism" shows are just platforms for partisan hacks. they play to a market rather than report facts

[fishintwodish]

Really? Just give me the news, straight forward, no pun meant, and leave out the fluff,

[friendinmiami]

I find this woman WONDERFUL to watch and listen to! Finally, an adult doing news instead of another petulant adolescent with fantasies of using military force on everyone who ticks him off--and EVERYONE ticks him (Limpburgh, Beck, Hammity) off. Rachel rocks, and rules. Get used to it.

[fishintwodish]

I find this woman extremely irritating to watch, like being around someone who is always complaining.

[waverly24]

Always complaining, and always thinking she's right.

[lucasboden]

Your tax dollars are stolen to fund rich people's bonuses and you feel annoyed that she is complaining about it?

[rubearo]

@lucasboden can't wait until the liar socialist in chief takes her damn money....bet she wil begin to cool her lessie heels

[padude64]

@rubearo Liar? Your Bush was the liar when our innocent troops were beheaded you bastard!

[JarheadMarine]

All Dike Maddow needed was Barney Fag in a triple split screen to make it an ALL GAY sob party.

Lesbo Maddow's IQ is just below par golf.

[Rorty00]

"Lesbo Maddow's IQ is just below par golf."

Exactly! Doesn't everyone know that a policy degree from Stanford and a doctorate in poliSci from Oxford are prerequisites for idiocy??

[4u2b1ib12]

It is better than being you! Anyone, you included, that spews such insults is hiding homosexual tendencies. You joined the corps to hopefully rid your feminine leaning. I can imagine you screaming, like a chump-punk, wishing you could shoot your troubles away. You glanced at your butties (sic) in the showers, smelled their shorts and wished for a cold wet night in the field. You are getting nervous, looking around for any reason to deny? If you get mad, you are admitting to it.

Semper Fi.

[poopstreek]

EVERYONE needs to look up what he did the other day. Everyone who thinks he cares about American jobs needs to look up what he said the other day about writing the "made in America" clause out of his stimulus package. The clause said that all steel used in construction projects must be made in America. Obama AND McCain support getting rid of it. NEITHER care about THIS country!!! LOOK IT UP! LOOK UP WHAT HE SAID!!! DEFEND YOUR IGNORANCE!!!

[WheatusOfficial]

Poopstreek, we have more in common than I thought and no I did not initially read your profile. I agree on steel made in the USA....but I am not sure on your Small Government is better stance. Better more accountable Government is better. Size is irrelevant. If "conservative" US Government employees agree that small is better how come they don't just quit? I do not read crap. Maddow is not a news source but rather an op ed like O'Reilly or Hannity....just staunchly on the opposite end.

[poopstreek]

Size is relevant. We don't even know the first bit about how much money they waste because we have no idea where all of it is going. You say you want accountability? Well if every lazy, worthless, money wasting, bureaucrat and government employee, the government would shrink by about 2/3. I have worked for the Forrest Service, it could shrink by about that much and still function. I know how much money the blow first hand. I can't imagine what goes on elsewhere, or behind closed doors...

[WheatusOfficial]

I understand your ideology, but your having worked for The US Government yourself makes it hard for me, a mere private industry taxpayer, to take your small Government stance seriously. Practice what you preach. You do realize this makes you the worst kind of hypocritical theorist? I'm sure you are a wonderful person but working for the government and wanting it to be smaller is oxymoronic.

[poopstreek]

It has been years. It was one of the reasons I left. Good try.

[WheatusOfficial]

So, you are a reformed government employee? OK...since you have been there and done that...How big should our Government be? What should it do? Tell us your ideas and why they will work better than the current stimulus bill. Tell us what you learned working for the Parks Service.

[poopstreek]

I know that they spend too much. I know that for sure. I know that they employ a lot of people to sit around and fill quotas. What is your point? Tell me how this "stimulus" bill will do any good.

[WheatusOfficial]

Did they spend too much on you? Did you give it back? So, quotas and overspending huh? Sounds just like a bank....oh no wait banks are MUCH WORSE because when they fail they put a hand out to taxpayers without the offer to hire us AND the caveat that we cannot dictate terms....no, no the "free market" must be allowed to work erm, after taxpayers guarantee their bonuses. So we are told to fear their collapse as we do terrorism. If they can make it without us then they should do it.

[WheatusOfficial]

George W. Bush....What a stupid, little, bug eyed treasonous thieving P.O.S.

[poopstreek]

Obama is turning out to be worse.

[WheatusOfficial]

Says who, Drudge? G W Bush just bankrupted the country poopstreek, after signing into law the largest acquisition of private resource by a Government in history. Are you one Republican who's OK with that? Do you know who Adam Smith is without having to Google him? Obama's bill hasn't even passed yet. Turn off Fox News and read.

[WheatusOfficial]

To the Republican Senators who say that Government jobs are not real or lasting jobs, should we expect you to quit and refund your salaries to the US taxpayer? Or will you agree to term limits?

To CNBC and FOX pundits who claim the crisis was caused by a failure on the part of Americans to have enough savings, why is it now a problem that US savings rates are on the rise? You don't like it when poor people keep THEIR money do you? Conservatives, Sarah Palin WTF?

[poopstreek]

You did not look at my profile did you? I am not even a Republican. We are in this situation because of Bush, and the last few presidents. We are here because of liberal loaning policy that preyed on minorities and poor people, with government insurance and even cheerleaders, like Barney Frank. You need to stop reading crap, (and watching MSNBC) and ask questions like, "why do we keep getting pro-war Democrats, and big government Republicans, when the people want neither?" Quit with the Red/Blue

[zweleyzzz]

Public Execution to ALL Financial TERRORISTS AND THOSE WHO PROTECT THEM. Isn't it treasonousto undermine your country's economic stability as well as that of the WORLD???

[andyleeparker]

What?! The banks steal our tax dollars and then loan it to us with interest? Fuck that! Everybody needs to find four or five good friends to buy a house with, get rid of the mortgages as soon as possible, cut up their credit cards and put the banks out of business once and for all. While we are at it, we need to start taking responsibility for our own investments. Rather than putting it in savings for banks to steal or loan to the poor at high interest-invest in businesses we believe in.

[DirectXControl]

the problem is that the costs of many smaller exchanges, just to make it legal, would be greater than any interest gainable through an investment. How many lawyers do you know to write up a loan policy? or property ownership rights? Change the people and the process, don't abandon the system.

[RedKruzer]

Thank you all for this little bit of investigation.

[beancube2008]

Banking and insurance industry should be owned by non-profit organizations and communities. They are good will oriented businesses anyway. After understand that, our new economy policy should focus on trading resources and methodology educations and training for non-profit infrastructures around the world.

[flyboymd82]

eljujo, NICE spelling libtard! LOL!

This is Keith Olbermans twin brother who went tranny. Check out that neck & adams apple! Whew!

MSNBC = Freaking JOKE!

[eljujo]

This Chik is Ausome !!!!

[Lucky7wins]

Oh my f***** god. Now i know why BoA bought Countrywide and Merryl, and why GS and MS became banks. I can't believe the private federal reserve has so much power.

[YankeeRebelSon]

This bull dyke is kind of annoying.

[runebeo]

Government is putting this much money in to these companies I think the government should take full or part ownership of these companies. They use to make money and they will again and any profit should be government money with a percent payed back to each tax payer for their investment. How strong would a government owned automobile company with the combined resources of the big three in a decade? Somethings will have to change or things like this will happen again in the near future.

[truth1234567890]

Just watch the Bush gov't sink the GOP/Republican/conservative base into oblivion between today and Jan 20,2009.This is just the tip of the iceberg.

[drunk3director]

Obama won't reverse anything. He has already shown that he won't shake things up no matter what. He is already going back on his word about raising taxes on people making over $250,000 a year. So we will sink further into debt. Banks OWN the U.S. government and that INCLUDES Obama. I voted for him over McCain as there was a CHANCE Obama might do the right thing. But Obama is showing he is the same as McCain and Bush. He serves the banks and the wealthy just like all politicians do.

[closethefuckingdoor]

I would have voted for Ron Paul. McCain and obama wasn't my choice.

[drunk3director]

You didn't vote at all?

[TheMethodsReportkid]

I don't have to worry=) I make $300-$500 a day just using Youtube.

[mikepiazza]

It's Moe from the 3 Stooges!

[motaloca]

Is Asperger's synonymous with sociopathy, egomania and/or liberalism disorder?

[TheAgnosticAspie]

Its not polite to make fun of a person with Aspergers.

[KILLAMANJARO3]

paulson is the biggest joke of secretary of treasury...he has been ripped by so many for the countless and continous blunders he has made, yet he still hasnt been fired like so many need to be that hold certain political positions and is allowed to control our money and do as he pleases and continue those blunders. fire yourself paulson.

[KILLAMANJARO3]

it's too bad taxes arent truly voluntary like some people think or claim... otherwise people wouldnt be going to prison for "TAX EVASION." or penalized more and more the more one puts off paying taxes.

[CisMediaGuy]

It's to bad you are gay. You are smart, sexy, and should be spending your free time with me.

Keep up the good work,

[M3minusGrowth]

Welcome to the Fascist States of Corporations (USA).

[dreamreape]

I cant beleve some of what I am reading. Some of you think her opinion is not wourt thinking about becouse she is a lesbion that she is gender confused. First do you understand the meaning of gender confused? Being guy and saying your not is gender confused. She is not confused you are! And being Gay thouse not stop someone from thinking or knowing right from wrong. As a streight red blooded Guy I think it a shame she is gay but I respect her intelegence and her right to use it.

[MrGovtCheese]

Obama will have dictatorial powers over whatever remains of it. Keywords = whatever remains of it.

[ktm4rt1n]

"....why would anyone put any trust in someones opinion,who is gender confused? No matter how smooth,bright,successfull or charming Maddow is,it doesn't change the fact that homosexuality is filthy,perverted behavior."

Let me get this straight... Were all about to eat an economic sh1t salad sandwich, and all you can think about is Rachael's sexual preference?

Poodles, infants, and retarded rednecks are all easily distracted..

[ConspiracyRevolution]

Nothing to see here. Have some tap water. Take your vaccines.

[blytheheat2]

....why would anyone put any trust in someones opinion,who is gender confused? No matter how smooth,bright,successfull or charming Maddow is,it doesn't change the fact that homosexuality is filthy,perverted behavior.

[coalcasper]

END THE FED!

congress can do it! since it NEVER was ratified in the first place!

[darkreign16]

she is hot, too bad she's a lesbian, lol.

[RyeItGrrl]

It isn't too bad for me...

[edizzidydawg]

What's the point of trying to ease the balance sheet of banks while still holding them to tax penalties. It's a smart move by Paulson...but it would be nice if he wasn't such a fucking stealthy dictator about everything he does.

[minnevikings]

These acquisition banks are buying banks that are bankrupt and the citizens are giving money to help the bankrupt bank's balance sheet. So then the acquiring banks get a liquid bank and a tax shelter as well.  This is bull crap.

[bulbheadmyass]

One more thing they get, minnevikings. They were too big to fail before, now after acquisitions, they are even too bigger to fail. We should be breaking them up, instead we're subsidising them to get bigger.

[jvforever72]

why wasn't she so passionate about the dems overlooking a looming housing crisis , oh righttt , it may have made Ob look bad , now that he's won , she's trying to look all neutral and shit . you lost all credibility mancow , you reek of triangulation . JV

[ManufacturedThoughts]

Welcome to the Fascist States of Corporations.

[darkreign16]

Exactly, that is PRECISELY what fascism, or corporatism, is. The merging of government and private entities. It's high time for a revolution.

[tecnohunk]

People are dumb...as long as they think there is a conflict about shit they dont like, they dont speak up

[tecnohunk]

Oh hey...taxes are voluntary. Dont forget!

[darkreign16]

I assume that's sarcasm.

[minnevikings]

When are we all going to refuse paying taxes?

[tecnohunk]

Dumbass politicians didnt know because they dont F-CKIN READ what they approve!

[66605]

Welcome to the USA where government officials have no respect for the law. This is true of both parties and a has been the norm for a long time. The more one finds out about the conduct of the government of the USA the more contemptible it becomes. Don't blame me, I supported Ron Paul.

[jeffsnyder73]

Maddow has got to be a lesbian... She has the look down pat and the voice... I have tremendous gaydar... If she isn't her "husband" is a Eunich I'll bet...

[expordaemon]

Your powers of perception are incredible. lol

What gave it away....the fact that she's been living with her lesbian partner since 1999?

Come on man of course she's gay it doensn't take advanced gaydar to see that.

[PierreElliottTrudeau]

She is a Lesbian but it doesn't matter now does it? She's awesome :)

[RzaGzaGhostfaceKILLA]

So when we a citizens fuck up, say overcharged our credit cards or get cancer, there's no end to the fees and bullshit we have to pay, but when banks and other institutions fuck up, say give out ridiculous loans, we as citizens have to give them money and bail them out. Ohhh right its going to tickle down right, the wealth will trickle back into our pockets. Im going to start investing in molotov cocktails, because this means anarchy.

[aconnecte]

Are Americans becoming dumber and dumber??

[MEXICANCONGRESSOCT10]

Yes we are, it's all the Fluoride and Anti-Depressants in our Drinking water that's helping to dumb us down. Side benefit it always Pacifies us, making us less likely to Protest as the fuck us in the ass.

[sonicboom4296]

The writing is on the wall: this bailout and other stimulus packages are thinly veiled looting of our country before the coming Crash. The Bush Administration knows the Crash is coming (ask China) and the super rich are getting theirs before the wheels come off this country.

Now, the next step for the bankers is to get that bailout money OUT of US Dollars, safe in a foreign currency or commodity before this free-for-all looting of our dollar and resources collapses our dollar and our country.

[GreenAms]

wow...Why haven't heard about this amazing intellectual woman....I saw her last week on the Colbert report

[awass1969]

well said !!, she's a woman with a brain however others like their women to look good and be as dumb as the people who vote for them!!!

[lornloxor]

I think people should go to jail for this kind of bullshit. Unbelievable.

[itubeutude]

no. that would be too easy. they should be shot.

[SoveriegnLeviathan]

Let the companies fail. They are on their death bed just pull the plug. If we are to give billions of dollars to business, give it to small business. AIG and the rest of the gang had to work to earn their money. If you fund the middle class, then you might have something better.

Capitalism is all about companies failing and others living(survival of the fittest), if we allow AIG to live on our tax dollars then every American citizen should own a share of that company!

The whole thing sickens

[asliberalastheycome]

Maddow is just a gross, left-wing lesbian. Watching her show is painful. I can not even watch this clip.

[ItsJoeyhere]

Your backwards thinking is so painful to read

[RTSOKOVA]

Rachel is great ! She is very very smart and informative.

Hey asliberalastheycome if you do not understand her analysis maybe becuase is so brainwashed or just dumb - well do not watch her show if it is "so painful" to watch as you said. Be uninformed and I am sure you will have chance to vote for Palin in 4 years .

[Jazzbo88]

So why did you come to the clip at all? Just to spew your tiny-minded bias?

[catsarereallycool]

Were all nervous about saying this was illegal because of our fears about the marketplace

This is BS.  They always have an excuse (lie) for screwing America.

[jewvoodoo]

these crooks have already burned through half of the $700 billion bailout and for what?! What have these morons accomplished?

[Drexxle]

Isnt this why you kept your guns!!!!

[GabrielGZNH]

You know, this really is huge.. You could write a whole new 1984 (orwell) based just on this story..

[DameDiabolique]

Henry Paulson...lets see...REPUBLICAN...

I should have known. They passed this bailout to pad CEO salaries and now are giving them 140 Billion in Corporate Tax Cuts!!!!!

[packetscan]

We are being robbed.

[jedus1]

Why we haven't refreshed the tree of liberty with the blood of patriots and bankers yet i will never understand.

I say fuck em, run the banks, pull your money, stick it in your mattress.

[snappa52]

put your money in a credit union

[jedus1]

Would that actually help any in the whole giant credit crash? I'm honestly curious. I've had little interaction with credit unions.

[snappa52]

75% of our economy is through small business, the other 25% is from these crooks. a credit union is community based, so you would be supporting your neighbors who are also members. you dont get the aggrivating fees either. basically a credit union is owned and controlled by its members. to get through this economic mess, support everything you can locally. a credit union is a good start.

[snappa52]

another thing, while i'm at it, dont do business with these people who are robbing us in any way, shape or form. it may sound like an impossible thing at the onset, but its definately possible.

[wowthungsten]

Although the sentiment is valid, I like the tree of liberty idea, the problem is that your money is being stole in the form of inflation. So, even if you keep it in a safe place, it's worth less over time.

Since there have been bailouts and CDOs have been created out of whole cloth, eventually the dollar -must- crash hard. It won't matter where it is, it won't be worth the paper it's printed on.

There is much pain ahead of us and it has been perpetrated by nothing but pure greed.

[jaim12005]

I see no reason why they can't place terms on the money....BUT the problem is by teh time Obama gets in there most of the money will be already given out. How does Congress retroactively set terms on money already handed over and will undoubtable long since spent by Jan 09 ?

[mikebee02]

Moral of the story: quit bailing out the private sector! Not the financial industry, the auto industry, or anyone else looking for a handout. Let the poison be metabolized instead of just keeping it pumping through our veins. We have to let these companies fail so someone else can buy them up for what they're really worth and run them more responsibly. There will be a loss of jobs and stocks will tank, but we're seeing that anyway so we might as well have it happen for free.

[cmc30250]

That's exactly right mikebee, there is no free lunch in a free market. Let companies and banks fail, it will be a bad year versus a bad decade if we continue with this nonsense.

[semperscottie]

She looks like a dike. Dumb liberal!

[psychonavigator]

She is a dike you stupid idiot.

[Wallofsheep]

I'd be willing to bet every penny I have that she is more intelligent than you. And yes, she's a lesbian. Oh, and just one last thing. Short hair on a female doesn't mean ANYTHING. Have a nice day.

[stueve50]

she was a rhodes scholar, so she is definitely smarter than anyone mocking her sexual orientation.

[Desnoxvu]

Bernanke and Paulson are enemies of the state.

[NSResponder]

No, they're enemies of the people. They're agents of the state.

-jcr

[wheelnchef]

who is this guy?

[rollsthepaul]

Congress = Spineless + Wishy Washy + Part of the Problem

[rollsthepaul]

It's almost like the criminals are in charge. Nah, couldn't be. Obama will make it all better. Well at least the new administration won't be retarded. No one is going to solve anything. Let's party.

[Narutocapri]

lol im sorry but Rachel Maddow is fucking hot , to bad she only like's girls lol

[BforBryan]

corrupt shit

well u stupid rednecks, pick up those guns!

[nvrmnd2]

Actually our central bank was nationalized by Trudeau, we own it. Unlike the Federal Reserve Bank which is completely a private institution.

[angelbe88]

I want the the privately owned federal Reserve abolished and the U.S.A. Government to print it's own money. Ron paul will introduce a bill soon. At least tell your friends and family the truth.

[dsgspm]

i dont envy obama. hopefully he starts with the goodwill of the europeans and arabs and puts together a "coalition of the really willing now". that's more than $10b per month off the bat and as a result less geopolitical concerns adding to lower price per barrel oil. that translates into a neutered saudi arabia, russia and iran. iran is on the verge of dumping their clown too and electing a moderate. adding to even cheaper oil. all in all there is room for optimism even if obama coasts

[angelbe88]

Well we could stop paying taxes, but...well you know.

[tommyc6066]

It's bullshit like this that makes me think about becoming a Canadian citizen.

[baronmorris]

word. Vancouver was my President McCain option. ;-)

But I'm sticking around with Obama. :-D Let's make it better. Call your Congressman.

Peace.

[tommyc6066]

I like Obama overall, I'm just pissed at him and all the other idiots in congress and senate that voted for this bailout bullshit. If my business goes belly-up because I made stupid business decisions, will the government bail me out? You can bet I will contact my Senator and congressman, but they already were contacted by millions of Americans and they ignored us and voted for the bailout anyway. Its really frustrating!

[baronmorris]

let me know if there are any marches or protests in the works. there ought to be. I don't usually participate in that kind of thing, altho I usually am there in spirit. I've taken to hermitude these past 8 years, like many others, I bet. But maybe it will take 10,000 people gathered in the streets to let them know we're serious about not funding golden parachutes for incompetent embezzling CEO douchebags.

cheers to you, and peace to all.

;-)

[Mahoivlich]

get a rope

[Robsixtfour]

The only way that anyone in the government will be held accountable is ony if all american people step up to the plate and demand a investigation with only one outcome,,,GUILTY!

[toosinbeymen]

With 60 days left, the bushies continue their criminal acts. Once Obama is in office, there needs to be investigations and prosecutions.

[siti1ca]

don't hold your breath ok?

[assassin216]

wat does it takes to get sumone in jail...theyll throw a regular person for not paying taxes but not do anythin about this..wtf

[kargenlewis]

use gauntonimo for the corrupt politicians and people who made too much money from America's suffering

[SEALs22]

Hope they get fuck up the same way as it seen on Oz (The HBO show)...

Or even worse...
