mr president, stop protecting bankers from these state law enforcement officials

http://www.nationofchange.org/mr-president-stop-protecting-bankers-these-state-law-enforcement-officials-1323700703

Lately we've been hear­ing some strong words from Pres­i­dent Obama about Wall Street crime. But when the cam­eras and lights aren't around, his ad­min­is­tra­tion's been work­ing fever­ishly to pro­tect bankers from state law en­force­ment of­fi­cials.

There are con­sci­en­tious state at­tor­neys gen­eral who be­lieve the law ap­plies to every­one. While they're work­ing to bring jus­tice to Wall Street, White House of­fi­cials are ob­struct­ing them by push­ing a sweet­heart deal with the banks that would end their in­ves­ti­ga­tions and pre­vent them from pros­e­cut­ing crooked bankers.

If more peo­ple knew what was hap­pen­ing, the White House would be flooded with calls and emails de­mand­ing that it stop pro­tect­ing Wall Street.

It's still not too late for that.

... "but what they did was not technically illegal" he's plain WRONG. Obama has been protecting the banksters since day one with his appointment of Geithner and Summers.

He's exactly like Bush in that his words are MEANINGLESS.
