Reply #174: One thing here, as Glenn Greenwald points out

Obama upheld ‘evisceration of the rule of law for political elites’

That sums it up. You or I forge a check, or steal from an employer and we would get some time in jail (Unless we have some bucks and can get a really good lawyer, like Lindsey Lohan does.)

But Obama's friends have looted NINETEEN TRILLION BUCKS from the system. (Some of this occurred under George W's term, but a lot of it has been under Obama's.) And these rich crooks get second, third, fourth and fifth vacation homes. They arrange for their wives to get a quarter of a million dollars of TARP money to basically "play with." When various Attorney Generals of individual states start to get serious about the malfeasance and criminality of the Executives of the Biggest Banks, as the Attorney Generals of Delaware, New York and the state of Washington have done, those AG's are barred from having any input into the "Commission" that is set up "to deal with the problem."

But of course, the Big Bankers can't be imprisoned, or the Big Banks penalized, as that is unthinkable. Or so those at Obama's Justice Department are saying.

So not only are the Biggest Financial Players Too Big To Fail, they are Too Big to Be Charged with Any Crimes!
