So when will the government criminals, Chris Dodd and Bawney Fwank, get their jail sentences for their part in this?

I’d be satisfied it they started with Dodd/Frank.
Sure, what this economy needs is more government
regulation. /s

“You’ve seen very, very dramatic enforcement actions already by the enforcement authorities across the U.S. government, and I’m sure you’re going to see more to come. You should stay tuned for that,” he said.

Surely there is someone at a high level on Wall Street who has done something illegal as well as the flagrantly unethical behavior we already know about.

I’m thinking he’s not talking about Fannie and Freddy executives past and present or Bawny Fwanks or Chris Dodd.

Hussein hates America. For this reason, he must be defeated in 2012. No Republican candidate hates America.

In other words, “Donate more to the Obama campaign, or we’ll shut you down”.

What happened to due process?
What exactly is the crime Wall Street is accused of?
If anyone on WS broke the law, if there is a case to be made, do so in court.
I suspect they can't, that's why they're taking the fight to the street.

What happened to all the laws and oversight committees already in place?
Again, Geithner & co. are trying to enforce a 'fix' before understanding the problem.
In fact they ARE the problem and should have no part in 'fixing' it even more.

Somehow I doubt Turbo is talking about his overlords at Goldman Sachs, either

This sounds like a scheme sure to make Wall Street cough up extra protection money...errr....campaign donations....for obama

“The monstrous evils of the twentieth century have shown us that the greediest money grubbers are gentle doves compared with money-hating wolves like Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler, who in less than three decades killed or maimed nearly a hundred million men, women, and children and brought untold suffering to a large portion of mankind”

“Hussein hates America. For this reason, he must be defeated in 2012.”

Yes.

“No Republican candidate hates America.”

Perhaps not, but there are Professional Political Thieves that look at the Nation, the People within the Nation that pay the taxes in support of the Nation as nothing more than a cash cow for them to milk. The Republican Party has those as well the Democrats.

In lieu of a costly, and most certain to fail attempt to educate Americans the importance of paying attention to more than pretty hair, and a winning smile we need term limits.

We also need to take all the successes of the many years of the Left towards their goal of centralizing our Government under the Fed, and eliminate them if the States wisely choose NOT to incorporate those aspects of government to their system.

No matter we must demonstrably weaken the Central Government to the point it is controllable by the States, by the people, not the various smug Leftist entities of the day.

I'd rather 'stay tuned' for Geithner's hanging.
