14 Days to Go and the President Is Killing Democrats

Tuesday, October 19, 2010


To date, the only person who Obama has prosecuted has been Bernie Madoff. While doing terrible and illegal things, Madoff was nevertheless responsible for about $170 billion of the more than $10 trillion worth of economic holes that were blown into the economy during the economic meltdown. In other words, at his height, Madoff caused less than 2% of the total economic catastrophe. That is something that is very important to keep in mind because as of the time of writing this particular article, Bernie Madoff is the only significant player to actually have gone to jail for his actions during the period of build-up that ultimately led to this economic collapse.



Obama's refused to go after anyone in the Republican leadership or in Congress. Not Mitch McConnell, not John Boehner, not Eric Cantor, not John McCain (the titular head of the Party, as the last presidential nominee).



It would be kind of hard to swallow (Obama going after the Bush administration for having committed crimes) when it's the same activities that Obama's actively engaged in. It's also counterproductive to the DLC's other agenda, which is to attract Republican politicians and their supporters into the Democratic Party, which can only be done by moving the Democratic Party to the right of right-of-center.
