One reason that Bush had Homeland Security monitoring Elliot Spitzer's money activities (using wire tapping abilities) was because Spitzer would have gone after so many who are now entrenched in the oversight of financial practices. he as about to go after the Big Players, when Homeland Security realized he was sending money to a brothel. Who knows who would have been caught up in a net that Spitzer unleashed? Maybe Geithner would be in jail now... However, instead Sptizer was ousted, and the very people he might have gone after are now in even higher places of power.
See, there's the problem. To undo the mess, Obama himself would either have to come froward and say:
One) I didn't understand these matters (Not good to have the Chief Executive admit he doesn't understand the economic maneuvers his "good buddy" Timmy attends to.)
or
Two) I was actually part of the corruption. Yes, he would have to say he does know, which means he is party to the corruption.
it is an election year, so the likelihood that we get any serious investigations is pretty much nil. Both sides of the aisle are too corrupted. I mean, for all its bluster, does the Republican Party really want a focus to be on the immorality of all the maneuvers their candidate Mittens was part of?
