I think the only person I would consider voting for in the 2012 presidential election is Eliot Spitzer.
Talk about bizarro world.
If someone had told me 10 years ago that I would be thinking this, I would have laughed out loud.

Did we miss the part where she blames this on 2008 ... and does not mention the $4 trillion spent since then? (see toward the vid @15 mins or so)
I dunno ... where is her mention of Obama's Wall Street cash (the largest take in recorded history)? Partisan bashing, with selective memory, IMO. Up until then, she had it.

Yeah, she had to get her dig in. Then again, the right has been digging on the CRA forever too.
Heh, credit where credit is due. She and I couldn't be further apart politically but when you get it right, you get it right and if we're going to make progress in this country we have to be honest and acknowledge when people DO get it right even if we disagree with them on other things, and correct them when they get it wrong.
The time to play the partisan game has expired.

I have agreed with some of her vids, don't get me wrong. She nailed the GITMO/Obama policies to a T ... with perma-incarceration and thought police.

I find myself agreeing with Keith Olbermann, too, of late (specifically the protest issues). The Dems are kicking GOP ass on the banking/protest issues, IMO. Don't know where this ends, but interesting times.

Wall Street was out to get Spitzer and they got him. I remember CNBS had a number of guest that were beaming when Spitzer was caught with a prostitute. I seem to remember Ken Langone cheering about Spitzer resigning. I thought Dick Grasso and Ken Langone were also friends. My first thought was that Spitzer was setup to be caught with the prostitute because Spitzer went after Grasso. When Spitzer walked into a den of snakes he was bound to be bitten.

She was doing well until she listed the firms whose investigations by the DOJ stalled out.
The DOJ is run by Obama's HomeBoyz. The same ones that quietly sold guns to the narcotraficantes.
What she can't get her mind around is the fact that TheOneSheWorships, Obama, is in cahoots with the banksters. He is/was bankrolled by them, is owned by them.
She's made some progress, though, gotta say. Wait until it dawns on her, if it does. She'll go really thermonuclear on the air, unless her masters at MSNBC (All Obama, All The Time) pull the plug.

She gives wallstreet 100% if the blame and actually praises the governmental work of Spitzer. This is another wallstreet hit piece that doesn't properly assign guilt for our economic misery. Karl, this is the same reason you ragged on Ron Paul, because he didn't blame congress.

Strange days.
Some days I wonder if it is better to live now, when you don't know how long the burning fuse is but have the chance to make many multiples of gains based on a unit of work effort (usually the multiples are higher the less effort you expended).
Or if it would have been better to live better in my granddad's time. You could earn an honest living, buy American-made goods, afford building your own house and put away for a small place on the lake and go fishing on that lake or river on the weekends.
No internet though.

I played golf every day this week. Roasted a duck for dinner. Caught a fish in the pond for fun. And read every new thread on Tickerforum. I'll take today, thanks.

It's true that it's time for the partisan game to end.
I'm watching the Maddow thing right now.
I'm waiting for her to acknowlegdge that the Congressional Dems were solidly backing all the Wall Street fraud and keeping the disgusting party going with their constant bailouts back in '07/'08.
So far, she has not gone there so I'll reserve judgement til the segment's over.
If she refuses to do this, then all she's doing is trying to co-opt the whole thing for the D Party.
Yup, there's the obligatory Marcy Kaptur clip. Kaptur was the Dem I was calling to thank every other day back in '08 for not voting for the Bailouts.
The reason I was calling Kaptur was because she was about the ONLY Dem who voted against them.
My list of Repubs to call and thank was LONG.
Will Maddow have one of the clips of the DOZENS of Repubs who gave great speeches on the floor of the House before casting their NAY votes?
I'm waiting...still waiting....
Looks like it may not happen this segment.
YOU may be calling for an end of partisanship but I doubt that is what Rachel Maddow will do.
I will GLADLY eat my words should that ever happens.
In the meantime, she's just shoveling **** for the Dems . Hadly a non-partisan message.

I'll take today, thanks. smiley My uncle (my dad's brother) told me a story recently when I was out at his place that burned down in the Bastrop, TX huge wildfire. He said my granddad (my paternal granddad, his father) told him, "One day later in you will make more money than you know what to do with." I assume that he meant to add, "If you make smart decisions", in front of that. I'd like to assume that invisible hand is because of family values, what we pursued and the hard work at the end. I hope to be working in the city here for another 10 years until I'm 50 and then work from my own location of my choosing then. Pagosa Springs, CO wouldn't be too bad. |

Mlbernts-
She can't blame Congress because Congress was majority D back in '07 and '08 and the D's voted to bail the fraudsters and criminals nearly 100%.
God forbid anybody ever look at the voting records of these crooks who are somehow now going to transform and be magically on our side.
Best not to talk about it at all.
Or show the great clip of the resident D non- bailer- Marcy Kaptur.

Good grief this video is like a trip back in a time machine!
Good to see the MSM is finally catching up with this information 10 to 12 years too late.
If we researched it we could post literally 100's of fraudulent IPO's from that time, many of them achieving billion dollar market caps only to collapse first to the BB then to the PK then to OBLIVION as they had no business plan in the first place.
Wall Street in its entirety was in on the scam same as now and I strongly suspect good old Elliot was not acting in good faith, he was playing favorites prosecution wise.
He's another scamster
