Mortgage Settlement Leaves Some Foreclosure Victims Wanting

Obama’s Guiding Principle: Leave No One Accountabl­e

The Obama Administra­tion has followed a predictabl­e pattern we now recognize. It has consistent­ly functioned like criminal defense counsel, whose mission is to get their criminal clients, the major corporatio­ns and executives who fund their elections, off with no admission of guilt, no forced resignatio­ns, and as little harm to their reputation­, or that of the counsel, as possible. To do this, they neutralize anyone with an ounce of public purpose in their veins.

Its role is then to convince the public that whatever you thought or feared was going on in America, and whoever you believed had caused the collapse of America’s economy, caused millions to lose their jobs, their homes and their retirement­s and continued to loot the country, it’s time to look forward. Because everyone who matters — and that’s not you — now agrees, they say, to function in the public interest, even though it’s a bald face lie, since nothing has changed and the looters and their complicit overseers are still in charge.

Obama’s people have performed this function for America’s looters over and over again. They did it for Wall Street, the banks, the rich tax evaders, the insurance companies, the oil companies, the gas companies, the coal companies, the CIA, the DoD, and numerous torturers and their legal/poli­cy enablers and associated war criminals in the previous administra­tion.

Consistent with this strategy, Obama’s team must silence, neutralize or punish anyone who protests or blows the whistle on the massive criminalit­y and corruption involved. It must also emasculate the left and what’s left of the liberal wing of the Dem Party, using the argument that the Administra­tion is not nearly as awful as the other Party’s people, who openly glorify looting and killing and vilifying the victims.

But of course, when we were ruled by the latter, everyone with any humanity was repulsed by the open looting and killing and indifferen­ce and was willing to say so. When the Administra­tion sanctions it, however, we are supposed to bite out tongues, because it could be worse.

Well, it’s worse, and it’s more insidious and corrupting of our souls than where we were four years ago. It is evil.
