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