O just loves his wall street buddies

Funny to see Warren call him out over this nonsense. Kind of like his FCC chairmen who was a Time Warner exec and now we see net neutrality compromised. When will the left wake up and see through this nonsense.

What's your problem Mike?

He's acting like a Republican.

I would think that would make you happy.

The problem is your messiah is acting like the thing you despise. But of course no outrage. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of the perfect party.

You wanna talk about hypocrisy Mike.

If Obama governs from the left, you hate him.

If Obama governs from the center, you hate him.

If Obama governs from the right, you hate him.

And then you have the gall to say "It's not about his race, it's his policies" :rolleyes:

Why would there be "outrage" and who in the fuck ever said the Democratic party is "perfect"?

But, I can think of a whole lot of people who think there is something inherently honorable and puritanical about the GOP..................:rolleyes:

Hahahhahhaha oh my god Tom instantly the race card player. Is that your answer for everything? Did you get your black panthers membership card yet? Hate to fill you in but not everything is about race.

I've showed support for Obama many times. YOU label people repubs, I've never considered myself one. I fall much more centered and disagree with both extremes. Bama actually had my vote twice due to the pathetic showing of the GOP in both elections.

However, bullshit like this cannot be ignored. Even to the point that now members of his own party are saying what the hell. Hillary always sides with O, I wonder how she feels about BS like this? Oh I better stop or Tom will call me sexist next.

Reagan and Bush.

The majority of this site sees the left as perfection and the right as evil. Everything Obama does is perfect and amazing and how dare you take your blinders off. Fact is all these politicians are in bed with wall street. If Bush had done this there would be outrage but the only voice screaming about this seems to be Warren.

You are right, there is corruption on both sides of the political isle.

Problem is, Bush lied us into two wars, crashed the economy losing millions of jobs, fucked the country and the right didn't say a word. In fact they supported him all the way as he and his cronies in the MIC and wall street sucked about 4 trillion dollars out of the economy. Obama got nominated as the democratic candidate and it was war, the right couldn't say enough bad things about him, and this was before he did anything. Then the right proceeded to blame Obama for all the problems caused by Bush. The right, nothing but lying bags of shite in my opinion.

So the market is at record highs, the economy is adding 200,000 jobs a month, your rich republican buddies are making money had over fist, and all you can do is complain and obstruct and tell lies.....because Obama has the audacity to do something for someone other than the elite 1%.

Sure the right and left are corrupt, but absolutely Not in equal degree. The right is corrupt and rotten to the core.....

piece-itpete 11-20-2014 02:50 PM

Is this the same Obama that kept Bush's money people in? :p

There was a PBS special on derivatives, the lady who tried to regulate them was shot down by Clinton.

Will wonders ever cease? I'm with you on this one Mike. But I don't think the nomination of Weiss even comes close to Obama's nomination of Loretta Lynch as the new attorney general when it comes to identifying how Mr. Obama has shacked up with the Wall St. bankster vampires.

Quote:

Loretta Lynch's nomination as Attorney General is further proof that the revolving door between Wall Street and Washington is still spinning. Right after finishing law school, Lynch worked at the law firm that represented the biggest crooks behind the Savings and Loan Crisis. After her first stint as U.S. Attorney, she was a partner at another law firm defending the accountants who cooked Enron's books. And before her nomination as Attorney General, she oversaw the HSBC settlement that allowed a major bank to escape jail time for helping Mexican drug cartels launder dirty money.

On what charge? Since Glass Steagal was stopped there was nothing to charge them with. Brooksley Borne tried to get them to regulate derivatives but Greenspan, Rubin and Summers gagged her.

MrPots 11-20-2014 03:15 PM

I dunno.....

Charge them with domestic terrorism or something....

There were plenty of investment bankers who committed fraud, and mortgage brokers who committed fraud. Goldman Sachs account executives peddled investments to their customers while they were shorting the same investments. It's fraud and not one of them has had their ass dripping with cash dragged into court for any of it.

In fact I'm thrilled that you are supportive of Elizabeth Warren against the Wall Street Banksters.

If she runs for President can we count on you for a generous campaign donation?

How about some volunteer work canvasing and manning the phone banks too?

Wrong Pete she was gagged by the Fed Chairman (an Ayn Rand follower), Treasury Sec Rubin and Larry Summers.

Money wins elections, and elections win the ability to make more dirty tax free because your company went overseas money.

I feel like things are so bad is Warren the only politician who thinks this is wrong? The GOP hate this because they can't run their mouths since they've been doing the same thing with every recent rep president and if they do they will be agreeing with someone who may be a candidate for Obamas office in 2016.

piece-itpete 11-21-2014 09:44 AM

I guess the buck doesn't stop anywhere.

We don't have elections any more, just jumble sales, where the dark money buys whichever pol promises them the moon.

Imagine the savings to the tax payer if elections are sponsored by the Koch Bros. Inc and Soros Inc. We could then have live music, hot dogs & beer, heck a county fair like atmosphere where people could bring their kids and dogs. I will bet 80% or more of the electorate will participate. If you could include religious sermons and gun shows, probably 99%. :D

Shit, it takes more than beer to salve todays political theater......

Straight gin in large quantities....

Add some NASCAR and it'd be 100%. Make the candidates wear their sponsors logos. :rolleyes:

You've got an idea Bob. Candidates need to be in either Elephant or Donkey costumes and logos so they cannot talk nor do we need to look at them. :D

bobabode 11-21-2014 01:54 PM

Just to keep this conversation real. Compare campaign expenditures, including 'dark money' and it's real easy to see who's got an enormous advantage. It ain't the jackasses my friends.
