- The more I read about the abuse and corruption in the U.S. the more I realize that you are more like the roman empire than anything. Your anything goes, immediate gratification culture has brought about the ruin of world economic system. Yet you don't even apologize to the countries of the world?? Why?
Oh I know because you don't know that there are other residents on the planet.
It is abundantly clear that you are ruined. It is shame - as a Canadian I cherished our relationship. NO longer I am afraid. Your corrupt way of life is your undoing and probably ours too.
People of the US stand up and do soemthing, your great nation has been taken over by elites who could care less about you. Your institutions have been corrupted, this article shows that.

- I would consider this an occupational hazard considering the environment these people are asked to function in. It is like working in an biohazardous factory with no saftey equipment. These positions should be like special prosecutors...hire people for a couple of years put their stocks in trust pay them well and then sic em...asking them not to partake well....take a look at the televangalists and you get your answer.
Cheers,

- My problem with Obama is that he is not taking on the elitists -- the banksters, swindlers, mortgage fraudsters, et al... no prosecutions of the criminals... think of all those fat cat criminals that are lying on a beach somewhere being tended by servants... luxuries that we, our kids and grandkids are going to be paying for well into the future... hard to believe that an FDR or Teddy Roosevelt or Grant or Eisenhower would have allowed these criminals to get away with it... shame on the Government.... Obama is a harvard trained lawyer... he knows crimes were committed... he also knows the criminals are getting away with it... they are laughing at us... we got our rears kicked off..

Exactly right.
The SEC should already be under intense investigation for ignoring Madoff, starting in 2000 back in the Clinton years, even when Madoff was being reported to them complete with mathematical proof that he was committing fraud.
This was a gross failure of our government to do its job.
It is an outrage that nobody in the SEC is going to prison for it. Obama is not doing his job by failing to pursue the culprits who gave Madoff a free pass for 8 years.
Until Obama takes an aggressive stance on this issue, we will continue to see economic weakenss as investors lack confidence that they have a fair chance in such an outlaw business environment.
But Obama knows whose toes would get stepped on, and he doesn't want to face the political fallout. - Reply to this comment
- Killing people under the name of God is a terrible thing,

The Crusades started because the Muslims were killing people under the name of Allah, in their "convert or die" campaign to spread Islam.
The conquered and occupied Jerusalem, then they began attacking Turkey. Turkey appealed to the Pope for help, reminding him that the Muslims had captured his Holy City.
The Christians took Jerusalem back, but then the Muslims sent their strongest general, Saladin, to "liberate" what the Muslims now considered to be their holy city. They considered that the Christians were the invaders, and they took Jerusalem back again.
It remained under Muslim control until modern times.
If we're going to start accusing people of religious violence, let's make sure we have all the facts. - Reply to this comment
