All of these are great, but something I'd like to see someone talk about is this: What exactly is Eric Holder doing over there at the Department of Justice? There are clearly illegal shenanigans going on all over the country, whether we're talking the whole Wall Street debacle, the foreclosure crisis, the takeover of towns in Michigan, the attempts to prevent people from voting. Where is the Department of Justice in all of this?
I can't believe that Ben Bernacke has the gall to say we -- all the American people -- knew about this secret-behind-closed-door TARP-type deals.... with McDonalds and Harley Davidson even benefiting....? What about the American people? Our credit is tight too. I personally can't even raise $1 million dollars from any bank to purchase a company with with an outstanding future, great market, positive economic impact, great technology (patents).... because I don't have enough personal collateral. After finishing laughing, some bankers have shared that it's because of tighter Fed loaning restrictions.
This is really over the top this time. And Bernacke's upset that people are reporting inaccuracies -- he only loaned out $1.5 trillion not $7- $8 trillion.

What has happen to honest journalism??? Thirty years ago when we listened to the news, we heard true facts from both points of view. Now, when we listen to different news organizations, we only hear from one point of view and part of the facts!!! It appears that NBC, CNBC, and MSNBC have become journalistic prostitutes who have sold their services to the DNC. Too bad.......... I sure miss Walter Cronkite............
