Why can't we attack bankster fraud AND public union vampirism? Getting BOTH of those monkeys off the taxpayer's back would work wonders for the economy. Bring back mark-to-market, put bankrupt banks into receivership, reinstate Glass-Steagall, AND end public unions (as recommended by FDR and Daniel Patrick Moynihan, among others). Do it all. THAT's a revolution.
Hey I get your criticism of President Obama but do wish you would be equally hard on the R..R..R..Republicans (it's sooo hard to type that word!), who would be disasterous for American people if they were to get control of government. Many times you appear to be blasting Obama with implication that people should pick a President from the other politcal party. Sometimes you do it so much that I want to throw a shoe at you – even though I'm a big fan and love what you're doing in effort to save the Middle Class. So how about clarifying for folks who may misunderstand?

glad to see that now 'popular' opinion is waking up from it's long binge.

Why not????? They have a free license to destroy anything they want and the recipe for mega fortunes all over again……………….. WHO will bail them out next time? Not me. I'll be living in the Cayman Islands!
