Normally I wouldn’t make such a big deal, but I know how upset so many of you were when Obama accidentally called Gordon Brown the Prime Minister of England, rather that the UK. So I know you would be as aggrieved here.

MM did not use the word "embassy." Google "ambassador to London," it's a common phrase. The One's England/Great Britain blunder is on another level, so I'll link Hot Air's Obamateurism of the Day as a reminder.

Cheapseat made the inaccurate remark that Jews “control all the banks and Wall Street”. That is what Ahmedinejad keeps saying so maybe that is Cheapseat’s source of information. Let’s see: Ken Lewis the CEO of Bank of America is not Jewish. Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JP Morgan is the son of Greek immigrants who came to the US from Turkey. Over at Morgan Stanley the last two CEOS John Mack and James Gordon, are not Jewish. Over at Wachovia, the last CEO John Steele was not Jewish. The CEO of Wells Fargo, whic now owns Wachovia, is not Jewish. So let’s end all of this mythology once and for all, OK?

They all do it. Politicians are beholden to the moneyed crowd, period.

As they should be. What screws everything up and makes the whole system corrupt are the attempts to deny the connection.

Pay office holders better. Much, much better. Eliminate all perks, including health care and retirement. Eliminate gift receiving, including dinners and air travel. Everything.

Have serious penalties for violations.

In other words, make it so the only money used to bribe candidates is campaign contributions ….. and any individual, and only individuals can give as much as they want and it all goes online so anyone can see where the candidate is getting their money to run.

That would work. That would clean it up.

Nothing else will work. Everything else creates opacity, not transparency. Everything else adds to the already huge advantage of incumbency. Everything else is corrupt.

They all do it. Politicians are beholden to the moneyed crowd, period. If you want to end this connection between money/politicians/promises….allow campaigns to be financed solely by public funds, everyone gets the same. If you want to make it private, put a cash limit on total amounts that can be spent on a campaign. No more bundling, lobbying. No former congressman should be allowed to be a lobbyist for at least 10 years after they leave office. Increase, and make mandatory televised debates so people can be informed about candidates on TV; no more endless road trips and commercials. Put term limits on these people (two terms).

Obama Appointee Is An Ignoramus…

President Obama’s appointee, Rocco Landesman, as Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is an ignoramus, whose own words keep reaffirming his lackyism and lack of knowledge. One might not think him unqualified by reading his offici…

A long time ago–1950′s?–I remember a U.S. Government official–Sherman Adams?–getting canned over taking a $2000 Vicuna coat from a lobbyist.

The price of buying corrupt politicians has really gone wild over the years.

At my ex company any gift over $10 could not be accepted–it would have been a conflict of interest. One set of rules for the Kings, a much more Draconian one for the serfs.

Just what percentage of top management of wall street and the banking industry is Jewish I do not know- but the Jewish vote for Democrats has remained right at 75% for more than a century. The few Conservative Jews I do know claim the Liberals have replaced the Torah with Das Kapital. With Obama’s love affair with Hamas and Hizbollah and referring to the West Bank as Occupied Territory we shall see if that lasts.

But America’s Leftist Jews did support Stalin right through his purges of Jews in the Soviet Communist Party. Politics does make strange bedfellows.

gee, since the top management of wall street and all of the banking industry is jewish, and since jews are nearly as monolithic in being democrats as blacks and gays, does it surprise anyone that these folks are big time dem donors and supporters. that was why when gw bush named paulson to his staff, people said wtf, he’s a dem. i know now i’m antisemitic as well as racist just for stating facts.
