Reply #25: At the expense of everyone else? That's where you and your ilk are wrong.

Sorry to break it to you, but the bankers control the nation's wealth. It's as simple as that. If THEY go down, WE do down with them. If the government had not stepped in to stabilize the bankers, our economy would be in three times worse condition than it is right now. At least. Are the bankers arrogant? Yes they are. But in America we don't punish arrogance. I know you and your ilk would like the congress to enact legislation to retroactively punish the bankers, but that's not the way it works in America.

It's more than ridiculous to lay the bad behavior of Wall St. at Obama's feet. The system has been in place for a hundred years. Until we have prolonged Democratic control (the loonie left doesn't flee and punish as they are wont to do every four years), things will not change. Obama is one man. He can only do what HE can do. He's not a king.
