Make no mitake about it.. what made what you just watched profitable for 13 Wall Street banks, was Bill Clinton's signing of the "Commodity/Futures Modernization Act of 2000". The credit-defaults swaps that resutled, allowed banks to make bets on homeowners defaulting on their mortgages. Everythi...

How can any thinking person cast a vote for an administration that's had every opportunity to dismantle this system, prosecute the violators, and done nothing but appoint more of these guys into positions of power? Marci Kaptur is a rare exception. Candidates who would represent true Capitalism (...

What difference does this make? I have dozens of black friends, and I've never known one of them to be offended by the term "black". Am I supposed to now be offended when a Presidential candidate refers to 1/3 of Chicago as white, or when the news mentions Obama is likely to win among a majority ...

If he had said the opposite, "I WANT TO help black people by giving them someone else's money", Jesse Jackson would be demanding an apology for insinuating black people aren't capable of helping themselves. You can't win. Just give us a level playing field, free of Wall Street manipulation, and l...

Eastwood's a lifelong Republican, but the current candidates will be too stupid to align themselves with him. They'll just keep taking shots at Mr. Hawaii thinking that's what we want to hear

The contrast of beauty and excellence that mansion provides versus the Home Cheapo that now occupies its back yard is striking. With proper maintenance, that home could stand for centuries. The fact that more and more people fail to recognize the difference in substance between a marble-limestone...

@ESW1982 Wall Street is your President, and they'll make sure change is all you ever have.

REAL ANSWER: "Yes Chris, I'm hoping that by attempting to save the rest of the world, nobody will notice that I repealed Glass-Steagle as I was leaving office, allowing my friends on Wall Street to profit from people losing their homes".

Certainly it's worked with most of the people blogging on...

Now, let's hear you defend yourself for repealing Glass-Steagle, allowing your buddies on Wall Street to profit from the loss of our homes. Why does Bush have to answer for that?

Two words: FORCED FUN

Meet your new White House Chief of Staff. Are you scared yet? This is an excerpt from Wikipedia: "Following his job with the Clinton administration, Jacob Lew, a lawyer, was named chief operating officer of Citigroup's Alternative Investments unit, a proprietary trading group that invested in a h...

Excerpt from Wikipedia: Following his job with the Clinton administration, Lew, a lawyer, was named chief operating officer of Citigroup's Alternative Investments unit, a proprietary trading group that invested in a hedge fund that bet on the housing market to collapse.

If Republicans can't capi...

It's not the inability to make payments that makes people suicidal, it's the pain of discovering how much evil is behind what's ushered them (and so many others) into these situations, and the frustration of not being able to combat the enemies face to face. Things become worse when the courts fa...

Credit-default swaps create incentives to destroy companies and homeowners. They have nothing to do with Capitalism.. they are pure Wall Street evil.

Yea you better disagree with her. She's cut off food stamps and section 8 housing checks faster than you can say j.. j.. j.. job

It's hard to admit, but I forced myself to watch the movie about Sarah Palin's life "The Undefeated". Although I came away still fearing a Palin Presidency in the future, I also came away wishing we had a Palin Presidency in the past to evaluate. Only a re-writing of our history books can make th...

Why are you surprised Feldstien was an advisor to Regan? Did Regan repeal Glass-Steagle Act, which protected us from banks selling our homes short? No, Bill Clinton did. Did Regan strong arm banks into making dangerous loans to people who had no history of responsible behavior? No Barney Frank an...

Emanuel has been a leading member of Congress, Freddie Mac, an investment banker, Blagojevich's campaign manager, Obama's Chief of Staff, and most importantly, a chief advisor to Bill Clinton when he signed the Commodity/Futures Modernization Act of 2000, that cleared the way for Wall Street to d...

"Even Tim Geithner could pay his taxes on time"! -LOL

I actually didn't like Perry UNTIL I saw this. I can't take 4 more years of perfect teleprompter decorum and cool guy struts. If Obama's not gonna prosecute the criminals that set up the so-called housing bust/ recession, it's time to send hi...

I actually didn't like Perry UNTIL I saw this. I can't take 4 more years of perfect decorum and cool guy struts. If Obama's not gonna prosecute the criminals that set up the so-called housing bust/ recession, it's time to send him back to Hawaii.

Thank God there is still one thinking man left in America. A Capitalist who doesn't abuse Capitalism. A rich man who didn't get rich at the expense of someone else's opportunities. An irreverent Celebrity who became famous without living an immoral life. Thank you my fellow Midwesterner. You make...

How can this man go around the country shaking hands and smiling while 25% of American children are now homeless as a result foreclosures that Wall Street is profiting from? Does this guy know what a Credit-Default Swap is? Does he understand that the resale market for homes has been crippled by ...

So Baby Boomers got old, and their homes went down in value as their kids moved out. Wow, these guys are good. And here I was under the impression the Fed raising rates 17 times prior to the massive Adjustable Rate Mortgage re-set of 2006 had something to do with it. I guess it's just a coincede...

Produced by Lion's Gate Entertainment (NYSE: LGF), so hopefully not another slick attempt to confuse the sheep, and re-write history. There's now 25,000 Occupy Wall Street protesters in the street in 100 cities. If this movie doesn't come down on Goldman, Morgan, Paulson, and the government they ...

The video isn't totally fake, but it is delayed 2 seconds from the audio. You can hear President Reagan response to Regan's instruction with "oh!", 2 seconds before his mouth moves. Don Regan's entire instruction might be, "the market's opening, you're gonna have to speed it up". Are there any li...

300,000 hits, wow... When I see this video has 300 Million hits, I'll know everyone in America has received a proper education. - AWESOME!

No question about it, Barack Obama is calm, and he represents the look, feel, and intelligence of the American people. -The question is, when do we start ignoring what our candidates look like, and vote for street smart people who can actually accomplish something? Obama never balanced a checkbo...

Yes, Obama is indeed one of the great speakers. Maybe even as great as Derek is at playing that slide. Unfortunately it's easy for a 30 year old to believe that knowing who John Coltrane is makes someone qualified to understand what a Credit Default Swap is. Now we're 3 years further in the hole ...

Let's cut the B.S.. Wall Street builders saturated the market with too many homes, Wall Street Banks gave away easy and dangerous financing to sell them, while creating Credit Default Swaps to over-insure the mortgages. Then they persuaded the FED to raise interest rates 17 times to trip the swi...

This is a party 120,000 people were invited to, and 75 million homeowners should be attending. Centralize the location to Chicago, and we'll march down Lake Shore Drive from Obama's house to the Federal Resrve on LaSalle!

I can almost hear the voices coming out of the Trilateral Commission

headquarters. "Well, it looks like the puppets are starting to pull at their own strings. It's time to unleash the H5N1 Bird Flu on the American public". How many of you can afford the $Million dollar per dose vaccine? Now you ...

uh ha,, uh ha,, uh ha,, here, let me untie your top.

We all know the time for an independent 3rd party has come. Kucinich is obviously the man to head such a movement, and we desparately need him to step up to the plate. Come on Dennis, help us END THE DUALOPOLY NOW!

It's so seldom that craftsmanship and soul come together like this. It's hard to imagine there's anyone alive who wouldn't be moved by it. If you're proud to be American, celebrate these two virtuosos. They are among our very best.
