PITIFUL ATTEMPT to dodge the discussion there, 'tonto'! (Especially since the post you were supposedly 'responding to' contained NOT ONE SINGLE WORD about "the Obama administration", LOL!) That was a lame-ass Red Herring you dragged out there, tonto! ========================================= My post (that you tried to dodge) in it's ENTIRETY. (See anything about the "Obama administration"? No? That because it ISN'T THERE, LOL! So, exactly what are YOU 'pimping for' tonto? Seems you sure don't want to discuss anything, just smear invective all over the place....): Re: "So what. We elect politicians to represent us...that is what we need to pay attention to...and demand that they answer why are they not doing so properly." So... who sez that the politicians are not 'properly doing their jobs'???????? Seems to me that they know exactly what side their bread gets buttered on --- and they are representing the Big Money Interests with vim and vigor and overtime work! :-) Example: The AIG "bail-out". Big Banks and Hedge Funds all around the world - notably Goldman, etc. - buy hundreds of BILLIONS of totally unregulated Credit Default Swaps from a 'cowboy' gambling shop run by AIG out of London... and most of those CDS 'insurance contracts' are sold to these allegedly financially astute institutions with ZERO COLLATERAL set aside to back 'em up. Then --- (surprise, surprise!) --- these 100% UNREGULATED, NON-EXCHANGE-TRADED PRIVATE PARTY TRANSACTIONS with ZERO IN COLLATERAL BACKING turn sour and rot like the head of a dead fish. Ooops! But, that's alright because the politicians HAVE THE BACK of all the big financial interests! They simply MAKE THEM ALL WHOLE ON THE FRAUDULENT CONTRACTS, AND PASS THE COST ALONG TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, THE TAXPAYERS. You see? All is right with the world! The politicians know EXACTLY who they are WORKING FOR, tonto!
