If you really want to fight the banks then END THE FED.

Otherwise it is just double-talking bull sh*t.

As for the supreme court up holding the first amendment, I call bullshit!. A corporations, lobbiests, special interest, big money, wall street, and others should not be allowed to just dump money into our elections.

The American public have been screaming for ever to keep these groups from corrupting our government with bribes and payoffs. But thanks to the court, we've now lost everything. Your vote will never count again. Your representative will be bought and paid for by big money.

@HopeValleyRI: Obama is fighting the people who are gambling with other people's 401k's. Since when does capitalism have anything to do with Democracy anyway?

[HopeValleyRI]

War against Wall Street, Really? That's a war against everyone that has a 401k, Investments, and their employers. Let the free market be a free market for God's sake this is not the Soviet Union. This President is running the country like a 8th grader, for God's sake. All all these attacks on the USA are designed to bankrupt our country. For every little threat or incident we spend another something billion dollars on wars, come on!

The Fed isn't the mastermind. It's just a piece of a much larger conspiratorial puzzle. The international bankers are the true puppet masters of whom own a vested interest in the Fed. And they are the ones who truly dictate governmental policy. Why do you think the bank bailouts went off without a hitch despite the large amount of public outcry against it? Because our discontent is of no concern to them. They threatened a total economic collapse if their demands were not met. And they can do it.

America's fiancial system works and has made us one of the wealthiest countries in the world...the problem is liberals crying racism and forcing banks to make stupid loans to minorities that can't afford them.

Obama has lost MAJOR capital with the American people. He's been a complete failure despite having FULL control of BOTH houses! Keep in mind that in order to truly take on Wall Street that he's going to have to go after donor to the Democratic Party otherwise it'll be more of the same creap he tried pulling with health care and waiving the Cadillac Tax for his union buddies which cost the Dems "Teddy's Seat". Obama is a fading reality TV star. In 12 short months he's already become a "has been".

It's about time the casino investment banks were separated out from these giant consumer banks.

Rhino. Go and listen to Rush and fake sarah palin.

Stupid ass fucker. Rush Limbaugh along with Sean Hannity supported 100% policies and in fact, even visited the white house to have dinner.

Fucking Rhino. Go away. Jack ass bitch.

Dude I told you I'm not a liberal like you, I don't need to read and fill my head with all that long-haired, pinko-commie proppyganda--I get all I need from Rush and Glenn Beck and now that Sarah will be a-winkin at me from FOX--I'll never pick up a book again!

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

Again, whats up with you fucking liberals not being able to read?

Can read the constitution either.

Go suck Barney's dick.
