In another thread I mentioned watching "Inside Job" the other night. It's the excellent documentary on the causes and aftermath of the 2008 bank/credit/financial meltdown. It was excellent. But what I had forgotten is with all of it, what actually infuriated me most was Obama's failure to take the action he promised in his campaign.
In 7 years he did absolutely nothing outside of having his various press secretaries and his various spokespersons in the Justice Department blubbering about how they had no basis for bringing a single scumbag from even one of the investment banking outfits involved to trial for their malfeasance.
It's probably number 2 or 3 on my 30 item list of disappointments in Obama's performance, and maybe number 1 in my list of bait and switch bullshit he pulled on the people who voted for him.
PS - I'm one of millions who recognized this and felt the same about it when we voted for him a second time in 2012...which says something about how bad the GOP is.
