Re: Can Obama stop the looting before it's too lat (4.00 / 2)

Perhaps one thing Obama can do (yes he can) is make clear that his administration will NOT make the Watergate mistake and put everything behind us: he can and must hold accountability up as one of the cornerstones of his administration.

i guarantee you. there will be some sputtering and double thinking. Obama needs to flex some preemptive muscle here.

Re: Can Obama stop the looting??? (4.00 / 10)

That would presuppose that Obama's team has a desire to stop the looting. It could be that the privatization of government in the US is already complete enough that the Treasury and the Fed are already arms of Goldman/Carlyle... as the evidence seems to indicate.

Expecting transparency in this situation is making me choke. I want Obama to prove me wrong.
