   Mr. Obama needs to be made to understand that the United States cannot be “worked” like Chicago. I don’t know who is giving him advice but the guy is not doing his boss any favors. This is just one of many malfeasances for which this President and his administration should face criminal prosecution.

   Anyone, anyone, can you come up with a company that bho has been involved in that isn’t crooked, hasn’t filed for chapter 11, or hasn’t cratered?

   Perelman’s pharma company makes an experimental antiviral pill used by smallpox patients who received diagnoses too late to be treated with the existing smallpox vaccine. Smallpox experts cast doubt on the need for the drug given ample vaccine stockpiles, the remoteness of a mass attack and questions about its efficacy.

   So… that would be an even smaller group. Isn’t this what they have IPO’s for?

   The latest shakedown scheme, and it involves the banks again.

   Mortgage deal draws detractors from all sides

   “Color of Change is circulating a petition asking Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder to “reject a settlement deal that lets Wall Street banks off the hook, protecting them from legal prosecution, and instead, push for a full investigation, compensation to homeowners and real accountability for those responsible.”"

   Oh please do investigate. But that will never happen because an investigation will expose the Democrats’ entire scam. This was the greatest theft of wealth and property in the history of mankind and it wrecked the world economy, not just ours. They strongarmed the banks up front to make “creative” loans to high risk borrowers and now they want to cleanup on the back end and buy some more votes to boot. A legitimate investigation would expose the entire scheme and send many Democrats and Wall Street friends to jail. Frank, Dodd, Raines, Gorelick included. They own the Great Mortgage Meltdown and there’s no way to hide it.

   So think of it. If a company is willing to cheat and break the law for a smallpox drug. And a President is willing to cheat and break the law to help his cronies who produce the smalltalk drug. Is it a stretch to think that they would resort to releasing smallpox itself on the population. We have a breech of trust and one cannot predict at what length people will go to protect their own breech. This is not just an issue for the FDA or SEC, but its an issue for Homeland Security (if there truly is such a thing).

    Encapsulating 10 yrs. in (1) tidy paragraph, not bad! Yeah the banksters have been looking for assurances they won’t be held personally liable for the mess they helped grease.

    Another sign Bammie won’t survive. They’re ramping this up before being forced to negotiate w/ the new Administration. In that regard, it’s a good sign. But don’t think I’m lettin’ the homeowners off the hook either?

    Yup. From my perspective, too, the presidential race is getting just about all the attention, while the senate and congressional races are just as, if not more, important for a cleansing.

    Happy, the GOP won’t let it happen because they don’t want it to happen to their guy in 4 or 8 years. This is what having career politicians in both houses gets us.

    Serving in Congress was not meant to be a career, but a sacrifice for your country. When people have been there for 20+ years, the system gets corrupted and is more about what’s good for government and less about what’s good for the country.

    Off topic…This moron called Rush today and said “I’ve never voted in my life, so you can’t blame this mess on me”. No, it wasn’t because she was too young to vote. She just didn’t vote. I can’t believe Rush didn’t ask her WHY the he!! she never voted. He used unbelievalbe restraint. I expected him to go off on her, but he was nice to her for some reason.

    If I recall correctly the people that are resistant to smallpox vaccines is because they are constantly exposed to it a lab environment! And as Michelle notes, there’s even doubts as to how effective it might be?

    With all that’s wrong in the world, and all the good those dollars could be used more effectively elsewhere, is this really a priority? Apparently if it’s not your money, then yes!

    HI FLYOVERMAN–#42. Good observation on the generals mostly being politicians. It seemed to me that Lt. Colonel was the dividing line between soldiers and politicians. Witness what happened to Billy Mitchell, General Patton, and others. Too many politicians and not enough warriors. Although every so often a Curtis LeMay comes along.

    Getting to Bird Colonel and higher also seemed a lot more likely for those with West Point or other Service Academy graduation.

    The Navy has more flag officers now than at the height of WWII.

    Many are in D.C. and have never left.

    Also, whilst on the subject, higher enlisted ranks are more common.
