Cenk Uygur, host of Current TV's "The Young Turks," asks Matt Stoller, a fellow at the Roosevelt Institute, why the Obama administration hasn't done more to challenge Wall Street and the big banks, and what Stoller thinks Mitt Romney would do if he were elected. Stoller answers that because Mitt Romney changes his positions so often, he might be easier to convince than Obama. "Barack Obama is a neo-liberal ideologue," Stoller says.

(116,464 posts)Stoller views on Romney and the banks and Paulson and TARP 2 are completely delusional.
He's actually advocating that Romney might not be so bad and the Obama has been worse than Bush.

OK good job.
"Truth be damned."
I mean, claiming that Romney would allow the banks to fail and might be better for us than Obama, who should have agreed to more TARP to get cram downs is wonderful "truth."
Anyone who believes that Congress was going to pass a serious cram down package in return for more TARP (more friggin TARP) is delusional.

Because if a person was foreclosed on - it MUST be bank fraud!

I don't believe that for a second. That's a bogus cover, there is something else driving the drivel Stoller is spewing.
No one would be making the case for Romney and hyping Bush (and pushing more TARP) based on that argument.

(4,017 posts)"fraud" is intentional deception to deprive someone of property. Robo-sigs were just an improper signature done for expediency.
Fraud is still on the table if an AG wants to go there.

He is an idiot who will say anything to win. He was a shitty governor.

(116,464 posts)I mean, who makes the argument that Obama is "neoliberal ideologue" (whatever the hell that means) using an example of him turning down a deal that included more TARP?
