and perhaps he should be investigated

as Mike Malloy reported:

is to keep a lid on unrest and appease the angry mobs just enough to keep them from taking back democracy.

RepubliCONS only goal is to funnel our national treasures and power to corporate elites. Democrats have the added burden of having to SAY the right things so that the rumbling masses do not riot or get out of control.

That is why Gore did not call the people out in the streets when the Dancing Supremes stole the election for the bushes. Gore had done his job. It was to prevent massive protests. That is why Obama says very liberal things but does very RepubliCON things. Oh yes he throws a few bones to the masses like getting rid of DADT or pausing a suicidal oil pipeline. But he has to do those thing in order to get the rumbling masses to calm down just a little. His real goal is to ensure the neo-fascist state continues to harvest America's middle class.

That is why the corporate oligarch allows, every now and then, a Democratic political success.

I think if they dig deep enough they will find out that he does belong in government, a government prison.

As for his compensation, Lew said: “I do believe it was comparable to compensation for people in positions like mine in the industry.”


So in other words, all the Banksters are paying bonuses for taking high-level government regulatory jobs?

As for the "public shaming as a deterrent", that's why they bought all the media. So there is no public shaming.

Thanks, I guess we dare not call it conspiracy. So weary fighting the ultimate uphill battle

Coup is more accurate. A right-wing, corporate coup. Owning our media so we don't hear about how much they own our government.

I think the chart shows the two corporate eras of CBS, as a viacom property and independent company.

Do you have a link to that graphic, not Facebook? Thanks. lmsp

...thanks for sharing it...

Obama used to get Repubes to support real Wall Street reform? With Elizabeth Warren in the shadows, Wall Street shysters and their legislative enablers have to be soiling their drawers. Time will tell.

Wisdom like this is above our heads.

This one, to the SEC:

of Orrin how much money is he getting from bankers that we don't know about to pass their bills? It's all sickening. They wash each others back. Shame on the bunch. The citizens are getting screwed by both politicans and bankers.

The owners of more real estate, food conglomerates, and businesses than you can possibly imagine. The wealthiest of ALL religious organizations per capita "including" the Catholic Church. Orrin's path to his own planet. That's his banker.

bankers. It's really sad.

The Mormons are also employed in government from the IRS to the NSA. They cannot be trusted to keep secrets from the church/God but outsiders have no idea, so they are in sensitive positions.

We are a consumer based society. We make money for them by buying their products.

But some of his appointments have always puzzled and concerned me. I honestly believe he wants what we do, so I don't understand some of these choices.

Like every decision a President makes, we out here don't know all what goes into it and don't have all the information, but again, surely there are less tainted individuals who are qualified for the job?


EDIT -- typo (I didn't know how to spell excruciatingly, apparently)

wants what we want. He does that so things don't change.

They are APPOINTED to these positions by the POLITICIANS
we elect to represent us.
This is a Bi-Partisan SCAM,
with Republicans and "Centrist" Democrats sharing the shame.

Bill Clinton and the DLC "Centrist" Democrats opened the door to this evil in the early 90s.
Despite Senator Warren's crowd pleasing efforts, I don't believe much will be done to contain this evil beyond the public humiliation of a handful of scapegoats.
$940,000 Dollars can buy a lot of tolerance to a little public shaming.



You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their rhetoric, promises, or excuses.

Yet another sickeningly foul and corrupt cabinet choice.

but it's important work. Thank you.

Is this Obama's transparancy?
