During the frenzied events of the fall, Henry Paulson rewrote a piece of the tax code to expedite mergers. The quiet alteration amounts to an estimated $140 billion windfall for big banks. Some critics say Paulson’s move was too autocratic, others argue that it was much more than that-that it was downright illegal. Will Tim Geithner and the Democrats attempt to correct the wrong?

What a surprise! Who would have thought it. And, the Dems are not going to do anything, what a shocker that is. Chuck Shumer, who has taken millions from the banks and financial institutions is pictured here and he was part of the bailout that His Holiness Obama was pushing. So, maybe corruption and greed are not just Repubocrat problems, the Demoplicans are addicted too. Wow!!!

If the Obama campaign represented a sleek, new iPhone kind of future, the first day of the Obama administration looked more like the rotary-dial past.
Two years after launching the most technologically savvy presidential
campaign in history, Obama officials ran smack into the constraints of
the federal bureaucracy yesterday, encountering a jumble of
disconnected phone lines, old computer software, and security
regulations forbidding outside e-mail accounts.

Be sure to look over the IQ’s of former presidents before watching this. The wisdom and mastery of the English language does seem important if you are going to run a country whose native language is English.

Donors to the Presidential Inaugural Committee
In keeping with President-elect Obama’s commitment to changing the way business is done in Washington, the Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) is taking unprecedented steps to insure transparency in the public reporting of donors to a Presidential Inaugural Committee. This chart will allow you to view, sort, and search virtually real-time information on all donors contributing over $200 to the 2009 Presidential Inaugural Committee.
Unlike previous inaugural committees, the 2009 PIC does not accept contributions from corporations, political action committees, labor unions, current federally-registered lobbyists, non-U.S. citizens and registered foreign agents and does not accept individual contributions in excess of $50,000.

Pepe Escobar reporting in this video:
This is amazing. The out going US administration is admitting to water boarding, the incoming Obama administration, and even Obama himself states” Water Boarding is Torture.” So what will happen?
In any normal court for the average Joe with a court appointed attorney this is an open and shut case.
This case will, I feel, not be handled like it should. I have Hope Obama. So show the world that hoping is not all we got coming, but action!
