<<< I really think all of this could have been avoided if Obama had prosecuted the fraudulant bankers in the beginning. If the rich are beyond the law as "too big to Jail" then what differentiates us from dictatorships?>>>

Bankers and the rich raison d'etre is to make money. Bankers have a role in society. There is nothing wrong with people making money or even making a lot of money. That is the way society works. I don't see that changing or is there any reason to change.

What is wrong is of recent origin. Before George W. Bush we had normal imbalances that occurs from time to time and they were normally correctable. The problem we have now originated with Ronald Reagan. Somehow his simple minded cowboy notions took hold and became for many a cult religion. George W. Bush took it to the next level. I don't think I have to keep repeating what he did. The rich got richer, the middle class got screwed, and the bottom 150 million people for all practical purposes went bankrupt.

Stop with this Obama bashing. Obama inherited a mess. He saved us from a global financial disaster. He saved us from a SC from becoming 7 to 2 RW majority for the next 30 years.

Going over what Obama prevented is like trying to prove a negative. It is a waste of time.
