There may be a bit of a silver lining to the economic mess we are in.
In addition to exposing Wall Street frauds and con artists, the attention

Critters and causing them to clean up their own acts.
Just saw a investigative report on CNN. The reported was digging into a
credit card reform bill that has been languishing in Congress for almost 3
years. The proposed bill (now being or has been passed) prevents credit
card issuers from doing things like raising interest rates on previous
balances and requires a 45 day notice to give the holder an opportunity to
shop for other card providers.
But, this bill has been sitting in Congress for years. When Chris Dodd, the
Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee was asked why no action had been
taken until now, his comment was "We've tried but have met with strong
resistance from the banks who issue the cards."
Sun light is a bitch.

Now, what the *hell* does *that* mean? The bank is holding Congress
hostage? What a wimpy answer.
It all gets back to campaign contributions.-

Which gets back to just where did BO get his money from? It sure
wasn't the newly empowered minority and college student voters. They
have no money to give.

He owes someone bigtime.

50% of his donations, $500 million, are alleged to have come from
donations less than or equal to $200.

I remember hearing about a guy named Good Will donating something like
$27,000. And Good Will lives at the same address as a Goodwill
Industries thrift shop.- Hide quoted text -

I suppose you're going to try to say that these antics only happen on
the left?

I'd welcome muslims with a nuke to DC on inauguration day. BRING IT ON.

HEY!

I live too close to downtown for that crap!
