I've read about that in several other forums and from several other sources. Check out the book called "13 Bankers". Anyone who has taken the time to really understand what happened in the lead up to 2008 and in the immediate aftermath cannot doubt that Obama, Geithner, and Bernanke are in bed with Wall Street and the Banks. There is no room for denying that, except if one is ignorant of what happened. Given those facts, I simply don't understand how anyone in their right minds and in the 99% could vote for Obama again. Now, if you are one of the top 1%, then of course you'd vote for him again. Because here's the reality. The GOP likes to call Obama a Socialist. Yes, he's that. He's been involved in the largest transfer of wealth in history from the 99% to the top 1%. So it's Socialism for the Wealthy and Austerity for the rest of us. A vote for Obama for most of us would be a direct vote against our own best interests, unless you think saddling our generation and the next several generations with the mother of all debt slavery is in your best interests.
