And who are the organizations who have “insured” those Credit Default Swaps?
And who will ultimately pay the price in the event of a default?

Now I understand. That’s why Obama kept talking about looking forward and not backward when it came to holding individuals accountable for all the horrible, criminal things the last administration did. He was looking forward to all of these evil clowns running against him in 2012. He knew it would make him a shoe-in for re-election no matter how much he did the opposite of what he had promised during his election campaign. It was eleventy-dimensional chess after all!

POTUS didn’t kill O fast enough . . .
How does that work? The bullet didn’t travel fast enough, or when the bullet got there he didn’t die fast enough, or what?

masaccio,
The movement conservatives will not succeed. They are a dying echo of a long past that believed human beings had only that value and purpose given them by those who ruled over them. For the moment, these conservatives, who present themselves as corporate monarchists, seem to be in ascendance. Even so, history has shown us again and again that rulers only rule at the will of the people.
Democracy is not a type of politics. It is the belief that to be fully human is to live in a manner that treats every single human being as fundamentally equal to oneself in all the ways that matter. It is the belief that this simple act, the act of seeing the other as coequal with oneself, is enough to collectively establish and maintain those enduring forms of social organization – government, education, the family – that we call society. Hopefully, we have learned enough as a species to finally understand that democracy is the apex of high civilization.
I will not submit to the conservative movement’s madness. No rational and compassionate human being should. Not now. Not ever.

I really don’t think we need another four years of Obama. I used to say, “What’s the matter with him?” I don’t do that anymore. I know what the matter is. He’s a corporate status quo shill.

Can the Democratic Party go ahead and start impeachment proceedings against Obama now so the Republicans don’t have to wait until January?
Just sayin’.
