He may stop the looting, but I doubt he'll start the prosecuting.

Watch what they do, not what they say. How can anyone believe anything Obama, or any politician for that matter, promises. Their track record says otherwise.

When I see Corzine in leg-irons I'll start to believe this is something other than perhaps a politically-themed show (going after Gibson, anyone?) to try to make it look for the Sheeple like OstumbleAndFall is "doing something".

Gen, the new debt to GPD bar chart is a huge improvement over the line chart you have been using - so much easier to grasp your point.

I'm counting on it Karl. But, I think the Dow made a new interday high, though I am not sure. Could it be Bernanke and the ECB have pushed so many chips to the banks that it has broken the charts? I contend that it is the banks buying everything and attempting to get their pound of flesh in that manner.
The amazing thing is how they mark their winners to market and their losers to fantasy. I have read they are claiming a profit on the poor quality of their own debt. The new news out there is the ECB has made all this debt in Europe junior to their debt. This is what they are talking about now, but the news has been out there for a long time now. The ECB expects the private lenders to take the losses while they seem to be intent on marking the discounted debt they bougbt to market. Maybe it will get out to the bankers themselves what a crooked enterprise Central Banking and the IMF are. You can be sure the bankers in the know got 70 cents on the dollar for their debt.

Obama is still pandering to Wall street. His home refiance scam again will buy him votes with our tax dollars. I doubt very much that this clown will prosecute anyone that slips his campaign some cash. Chicago politics has always been about money.

Maybe he can stop the looting because they have already finished looting?

IF I were Obama and IF I were feeling spitefull and IF I believed I may not make the ballot in certain states, I would get about some creative destruction simply out of spite. IF I could put away my spite I would be looking to cut some major deals before I got out. Interesting times.

You don't seriously believe there's one chance in a gazillion that Obama would either stop the looting or start prosecuting, do you?
He wants taxpayers on the hook for new upside-down FHA loans that will be used to refinance upside-down "non-agency" mortgages. That's not stopping the looting, that's shifting it into overdrive.
As for prosecuting - when I see Corzine in handcuffs I'll think that maybe they're at least feigning seriousness.

Maybe because I live in Texas. I don't know.

Please. Obama won't prosecute his friends. Look at what he's doing right now : http://www.thenation.com/blog/165806/oba....Quote:Obama Is on the Brink of a Settlement With the Big Banks—and Progressives Are Furious
For months, a massive federal settlement with big Wall Street banks over their role in the mortgage crisis has been in the offing. The rumored details have always given progressives heartburn: civil immunity, no investigations, inadequate help for homeowners and a small penalty for the banks.

Smacktle, I am seeing the same in Houston. Pick any Friday or Saturday night the restaurants have 45 min wait or more. Patrons have no clue of the financial world.
