It's clear now that the banksters and Wall Street crowd have only one, abiding interest - their own pockets. And everyone else can go **** themselves. In fact, they are now pumping that taxpayer money into new derivative schemes that will cause even greater destruction down the road. But given that they also own half the Congress (IMO), there's nothing Obama, or any other president, can do about it. Of course, telling them they're "too big to fail" is about the worst possible thing you could do. Between China and the banksters, we are serfs. In other words, in the immortal words of dortoH (where did he disappear to?), we're ****ed.

Getting on board the reality train, EH?
